International Labour Day

At first, this day was to claim the workers' rights, and for social and labor demands.

Now, it's to remind what has happened years ago: the industrial revolution in the United States of America.

On May, 1886, 200,000 workers went on strike, and some policemen, without inform, started to shot against the people. They killed 6 people and a lot of people got wounded.

"Eight hours for work, eight hours for sleep and eight hours for the house."

Now, we celebrate this day because we are grateful to the people that fought for our rights. And because we have holiday!

Badminton in Rias Altas

The past week in P.E. has started the badminton competition. There are two categories, the female category and the male categorie. In each category there are approximetly 15 players. For wining each match you must be the best of three games of 11 points. The first matches had place, and now there are people out of the competition. The loosers of the male category right now are: Luis Rodríguez (vs. Martin Candal) and Esteban López (vs. Richi Sánchez). And in the female categorie: Marta Rodriguez (vs. Claudia Truan), Paloma Díez (vs. Laura Puente). And that's all for now, we will write if there are new notices.

Spring arrives to Rias Altas

 As in each new season that comes, the little children decorate our backyard with their draws, and it would be less in spring.

Spring has arrived a few day ago and our backyard is now decorated with draws, they're not the most beautiful draws in the world but the important thing is that children have fun painting and showing their parent their draw, because there's no better feeling that when  you receive the congratulations of your parents, and it's bigger at that age.

But the merit of decorating it's not only of the children, it's also for the teachers that help them to make a good draw. Because without the teachers have the backyard decorated would be impossible.

International Day of the Book

As you know, yesterday (April, 23) was the International Day of the Book.

Reading is like watching a film but, instead of seen it, you must imagine it, so it will be like you want. You can imagine the characters, the places, the action...

In this school we have a library (it's not too big, but it has a lot of fantastic books) where you can take books, read them at home and after return them to the library. You can choose a lot of different types: adventure, romantic, science-fiction...
If you think that you don't like reading, I recommend you something: look for a book that has a film and don't watch the film until you've finished the book. Then, you could debate wha's better, the film or the book. And you'll find that, the most of the time, the book is better than the film.

                "Don't live only one life if you can live 100 reading books."

The up-dating

Itś been a while since school introduced computers in classes, and the touchscreen blackboards. At the beggining children weren´t used to them because it was too much technology and doing online exams was disconcerting. Even there are teachers that haven't started to apply this method on the classes but others, instead, prefer to continue with the old method of books and notebooks.

One of the main problem is the combination of both which sometimes can be disconcertating to the pupils, above all in the low courses.

Opinion

Yago:I think computers are a very good idea and children should make the most of it.

Lucía: The introduction of the technology at classes is inevitable and despite all the students and teacher have to make an efford it will be worth.

Interview to Alonso Escuredo

Here we're going to ask some questions to the capitain of 4º  E.S.O.

+Alonso, what do you thing about the match result?
-It was really equaled until the last 15 minutes.
+How did you play?
-I can not assess myself, but I worked hard...
+In your opinion, who was the best player?
-Martin Candal, but Charly Agra was spectacular. 
+Do you think that the victory is fair?
- It's fair that they won, but not much difference. In the end, we were really tired, and we already got a lot of goals.
+Thank you for answer our questions, see you later!
-Bye!

Lunch time

  Lunch time at school is not the same for everybody: students from 3 
years to 2 eso eat at 1 o'clock. And student from 3eso to 2 of A level eat    at 14:10.
   In the first turn to eat, they have to make line in order of cours, except 2nd and 3rd of primary that have their trays at the table, but when student of the second turn go to eat, the A level courses go first because they slip and the other student don't do anything. And if there is a students at the line, all his class goes with him.
   I think it's not fair because I think you have to make line and anyone would have to slip. And that students mustn't go to eat all together, I think they must go 5 minutes after the previous course, and of course from 3eso to A level. And for respecting that there must be a teacher looking that anyone slip, because without the teacher it would be the same as now.
  Also there is others student that don't bother if someone or even a whole class slip to them because they know that they are going to eat anyway before or after.

Incredible match!

the next friday is going to celebrate the most interesting match of the Indoors League of the school. It's between the students of 4th cours of E.S.O. and the boys of 1st of Bachiller. It's an important match because they are playing for be in the final, the winner team is going to pass and the loser is going to be eliminated. Alonso, the superstar of 4th of E.S.O. has told to their team some words to inspirate them and make they win. He also has preparate some complex tactics for make defeat the other team.

The canteen

Recently there's been a big change on our canteen that anyone could know that it was to be made.

After a lot of years of being with the chairs and tables in the same way: they were horizontal if you looked them from the door, now they are all vertical except one, that hasn't been changed, the one which is next to the window, that can't be in the same way because they couldn't fit in the canteen.

In that way, the canteen seems to be bigger but now, there is less space to move, for example, there is a table next to the wall in which if you want to move all the people in that side have to come close to the table to let you go out.

There is also a change in the wall of the ''teachers part'' of the canteen. They have put some big green, white and orange tills. And the floor of the ''teachers part'' of the canteen was changed too. But the ''students part'' has been changed only in the way that chairs and tables were placed.

There's also been a change at the right of the door where student go into the canteen. There was a space and now there is a wall of glass tiles and the screen that was there is now next to the table that is nearest to the stairs, hiding it.

Are mobile phones a good or a bad thing?

“Students can't bring their mobile phones or other things like Ipods with camera to class.” This is the new rule in the school.

It seems like some students have filmed some videos and they have uploaded them to the internet but, have they done something wrong? Yes, they have uploaded the video to the internet. Teachers must punish them but not the rest of the students. If someone wants to listen to music and that person only has a Ipod with camera, why can't he listen to music? Because of other person's fault? It's not fair.

I'm not saying that filming a video at school it's a bad thing (teachers thing that it is bad), the bad thing is to upload it to the internet. I think that you can take a photo or a video but you can't upload it to the internet. School's rules say that you can't take photos or videos, if you agree or disagree it's now important, so student must not to do it. Even if you aren't going to upload that photos or videos to the internet.

I know that student have done something wrong because they haven't followed the rules but it's not fair to punish all students because of three or four. Teachers, instead of punish all students, must talk to the people who upload the video and punish them.

In conclusion, mobile phones or Ipods aren't a bad thing if you know how to use them and when you can use them.

Teachers, don't punish all students if only two or three of them have done something wrong, it's not fair. And students with good behaviour will be grateful.

My opinion

I think that it's fair to punish some students but not all students. Because, and I am include in this group, we didn't do anything. I didn't even know they were uploading videos to the internet. In one hand, it's fair to punish some students because they have done something wrong. And in the other hand it's not fair to punish all students without their mobile phones.

The Sport in Rias Altas!!!

The injustice arrived to the Rias Altas when one day our Director of Studies (Alfonso) said us that the students of the second cycle of the E.S.O. can't play in the second freetime. The reason is that some children get hit by some boys that were playing football while the younger children were in their freetime. Personally i think its not just because when we were little we were shooted from the older students and anybody said anything. It's comprensible that we can't play like wild, but it must be ok to play another sports, like basketball, while the children play football.

Summer is coming

Only 74 days separate us from starting again our summer experience, up to then we have to pass through the final exams and all that they entail.

Till the moment, time hasn't being pleasant these days, but we all hope we can enjoy a really sunny summer. These 3 months left are going to be hard but they are going to pass soon, and this effort worths a lot. But the school gives many chances to pass if you find it very hard, because you have June and September although like all the parents say “Do not put off until tomorrow what you can accomplish today”

Nothing compares with the feeling of freedom; getting up at ten o'clock, spending entire evenings laying on the beach or in the swimming pool.

Many of our classmates are leaving next year ( the main reason is that they want to do the A level in another high school, or they want to do a vocational training ) so this summer is going to be special because our class will be borken after 12 years together in most cases.

Indoor school league

With the final of the regular season of the indoor school football tournament, we arrive in the semifinals.The teams classified were 2ºBach, 1º Bach A , 4ºESO A and 1º Bach B. The Final Four will be celebrated before the end of the course and the favourite is 2ºBach because they are older, and they have good players but the rest of the teams also have options. All the teams have good players so we expect to see an interesting final like every year.

Balls Jailed!

From the origin of the history of the school,our sport hall's mission is to catch balls in the ceiling. There are about fifty balls and fifty children that are sad because they can't play anymore with their balls. We are waiting because Roberto, our PE Teacher, said to us that he will create a complex mechanism, a long stick, to take back our old balls. Thinking in getting our old balls is like a dream which comes true. There are a lot of memories in the sport hall's ceiling.
