Graduation with Geluco

 As every year, for some students arrive the last year of school.

It's not an easy year because they have to pass the course and they also have to prepare selectivity, so they have to work harder and study more than in the other courses.

It's known that selectivity is hard to prepare, days and days of study, but it is worth because with the selectivity mark you could study what you want.

In Rias Altas the graduation was last week.

In the graduation there were some teachers, student's families and of course, the ones who graduated. And after the graduation they go dinner all together.

  Graduation is an important thing for students, but it's also for their parents that see that their little child has grown up, and he/she is going to university and in some cases to become independent and go to study to another city. It's a fact for them to feel proud, very proud.

As you know, our cookers made a big bufette to say goodbye to the students. So we have made Geluco a short interview about the food they have cooked.

-What did you cook for the graduation?

+It was a bufette with different kinds of food.

-How long did it take you to cook everything?

+(Pants and think for a while) It took for abour 4 or 5 hours. It was a lot of work.

-Do you do the same food every year?

+It's varied, but the food that all people like is made every year.

-Do you cook what you want or do you have to cook what they want?

+I write a list with some suggestion, I give it to the cook chief and they choose, but the most of time I cook the food that I suggest.

-Do the students like the food you did this year?

+Yes, of course. Because when we made the menu we think about the food that students like.

San Juan

On 23rd June Galicia's biggest festivity is going to be held in nearly all beaches and fields, and of course everybody is looking forward to this event with anxiety. It also indicates the end of the course that's why many students decide to go there with their friends and pass the

dawn jumping the bonfires, eating sardines or barbecued steak.

Since ancient times, San Juan is considered a time when people burn their bad remembers on the fire, so they start a new period after it. Coruña is the place wich hosts the most amount of people on Riazor and Orzán. And this year is very important for the city tourism because it's wanted to become an International Festivity.

Without any doubt 2013's San Juan is going to be the most popular and crowded of all history.

Indoor school league-winner

The final was between 4ºE.S.O. -B and 1ºBach-A the last wednesday. All players were really nervous and all of them want to win. Finally the result was 1-6 for 1ºBach-A. The boys of 4º were sad because they want win. Next wednesday it will take place the match between 1ºBach-A and the team of teachers! Anybody will loose it, it sounds really interesting and funny.

The last sacrifice

  Only three more weeks and students will be free. But in these weeks, students must study hard to pass all subjects or, if they are in 2º bachillerato, they have to prepare the university entrance exams. And if they do, they are going to have a good summer, where their only worry will be not doing anything.

 During this course, students have learnt a lot of new things and they have forgotten some of them. Fortunately, the things that they remember are the important ones.

 In this days, you are going to study a lot and probably you'll be stressed. But you can motivate yourselves by thinking that a day that goes is a day left to summer holidays!

 You only have to do the last sacrifice.

19th May, "Día das Letras Galegas."

This year “Día das Letras Galegas” is dedicated to the Galician writer Roberto Vidal Bolaño. He was born in Santiago de Compostela on the 50's but sadly, he died eleven years ago.

The theatre was his most common genre he achieved working as a director and scriptwriter during his career. All those years he defended Galician language in all his compositions, that's why this year's festivity is dedicated to him.

He took as an example other leading literature figures such as Rosalía De Castro or Álvaro Cunqueiro. From them, he took many of their works to the theatres.

The weather forecast will change

This weekend we have enjoyed some wonderful and sunny days, where most people decided to go to the beach and sunbathe, otherwise many families went for a walk to make the most of these hot days. But despite the unexpected summer weather we are having, tomorrow will be disturbed by a squall that will bring heavy showers and wind are going to mark these dates.

So we have to take advantage of these climate that we hope could be just an advance of a very sunny summer. 

Día de las letras gallegas

  Since 1963, this day is to pay tribute to those people that stand out making literature in galicien. Each year it's dedicated to a different person: in 1963 it was a tribute to Rosalía de Castro, in 1964 was a tribute to Castelao, others tributes were for Alfonso X El Sabio, Otero Pedrayo, Álvaro Cunqueiro, Eduardo Blanco Amor... And this year is for... ¡Roberto Vidal Bolaño!

He was a galicien man, that was born in Santiago De Compostela in 1950 and he died in 2002. He was a writter and an actor. He renew and update the literature and theatre in galicien.

Why is it celebrated on May, 17?

  Because, in Vigo, it was published the first exemplary of Cantares Galegos by Rosalía de Castro, that mark the Galicien's culture resurgence. And it's one of the most important facts in galicien literature.

  As all years, in our school little children decorate our backyard, and as soon as we can, we are going to put some photos and you could see their beautiful creations.

Mother's Day

Yesterday, May 5 , was the Mother's day.

The day when we realize that our moms are one of the most important people in our lifes.

A day when we all thank her because she has done a lot of thing for us: she has missed a lot of thing for us. Instead of go to a party, she has stayed at home while we were babies and we didn't let her sleep. She has been a lot of evenings at the park, sitting in a bench while we were playing, etc. Our mom take care of us without asking anything in return.

So, for this things and more, we must be grateful to our moms.

And remember, you can love your mom every day of the year, not only one.
