GREAT.... LONG WEEKEND FOR THE 5TH OF MARCH

YES, WE ARE LUCKY AND WE HAVE 4 DAYS OFF BECAUSE OF THE POPULAR BATTLE IN ZARAGOZA AGAINST THE CARLIST PARTY IN THE OLD TIMES.

WE WERE SUPPORTING THE PRINCESS TO BECOME QUEEN AGAINST THE CARLIST PEOPLE WHO WANTED HER UNCLE TO BECOME KING.

JUST POLITICS, AS USUAL !!!!

HERE IN ZARAGOZA, THE LOCAL COUNCIL USUALLY ORGANIZES A LOT OF ACTIVITIES FOR EVERYBODY, FAMILIES AND ALSO YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE PARK OF TIO JORGE.

ENJOY THE WEEKEND AND WAIT FOR THE LONG ONE NEXT WEEK.

CORONAVIRUS IN ZARAGOZA ( 28TH/2/2020)

WE KNEW IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN ONE DAY, HOWEVER..... WE ARE NOT WORRIED. IT IS JUST A FLUE VIRUS AND IT HAS SOME TREATMENT.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE VIRUS GOES FROM ONE PERSON TO THE OTHER VERY QUICKLY AND OLD PEOPLE ARE TOO WEAK TO SURVIVE, AS IT HAPPENS EVERY YEAR WITH OTHER KINDS OF FLUE.

WE WILL SEE WHAT THE FUTURE BRINGS  !!!

FOR THE TIME BEING, PARENTS DON'T WANT THEIR CHILDREN TO GO TO ITALY FOR THE SCHOOL TRIP WHEN THEY HAVE THE ENEMY CLOSER, ANYWAY.

GOOD LUCK FOR THAT PERSON !!!

MANDALAS TO DECORATE THE CLASSROOM

ONE OF MY STUDENTS IN ADM  LOVES DESIGNING MANDALAS AND THEN .. SHE DECORATES THE CLASS WALL WITH THEM.

IT IS RELAXING, SHE SAYS....

THIS ONE IS MY FAVOURITE ONE.

VISIT TO GENSLER IN LONDON !!

WE VISITED LONDON LAST JANUARY WITH A GROUP OF 28 STUDENTS FROM 1ST BACHILLERATO.

WE WERE SIGHTSEEING AROUND, AS USUAL AND VISITING THE MAIN MUSEUMS. HOWEVER, ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING ACTIVITIES WAS THE GUIDED TOUR IN  "GENSLER", ONE OF THE TOP 10 ENTERPRISES IN LONDON, THANKS TO MY FRIEND KEVIN, WHO IS NOW THE HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER.

AFTER THE TOUR, THERE WAS A PRESENTATION IN ENGLISH ABOUT ALL THE DIFFERENT BUILDINGS THAT THIS ARCHITECTURE ENTERPRISE IS DOING ALL AROUND THE WORLD, LIKE THE HIGHEST TOWER IN SHANGHAI, WHICH WAS DESIGNED BY 'GENSLER' ARCHITECTS.

CURRENTLY, THEY HAVE 10 SPANISH ARCHITECTS. TWO OF THEM CAME TO EXPLAIN THE STUDENTS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF SPEAKING ENGLISH, IN ORDER TO FIND A GOOD JOB ABROAD.

THE STUDENTS WERE ASKING INTERESTING QUESTIONS AND ALSO WERE INVITED FOR A LOVELY SNACK... BEFORE GOING ON TO THE GUIDED TOUR AT THE ' GLOBE', THE THEATRE OF SHAKESPEARE, WHICH WAS ALSO AMAZING. IT WAS LIKE BEING IN A DIFFERENT AGE !!

THIS IS THE MAGNIFICENT WESTMINSTER CATHEDRAL WHERE ALL THE BRITISH KINGS ARE BURIED.

THE LOVERS OF TERUEL (MEDIEVAL FESTIVAL IN TERUEL)

WORRIED ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT !!

OUR STUDENTS ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT !!

THEY WERE WORKING ON 'THE HOUSE OF THE FUTURE' IN THE RIDGEWAY SCHOOL DURING THE ERASMUS+ MOBILITY , WHEN THEY FOUND ABOUT ECO FRIENDLY HOUSES WITH SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS.

SOME OTHERS ARE SEARCHING AND THEY HAVE FOUND INTERESTING NEWS:

-- WITH A GRAPHAIR FILTER, WE COULD TRANSFORM POLLUTED OR SALTED WATER INTO DRINKING WATER. THEY ARE ALREADY DOING IT IN SIDNEY (AUSTRALIA).

-- WITH THE BONES OF THE AVOCADO, THEY ARE MAKING PLASTIC BAGS IN MEXICO.

-- IN THE ASIAN COUNTRIES, THEY ARE BUILDING  HOUSES WITH MUD, FOLLOWING THE ANCIENT WAYS OF BUILDING.

-- SOME PEOPLE ARE MAKING PLATES AND CONTAINERS THAT ARE EATABLE, FOR EXAMPLE,  MADE OF FRUIT AND THEN THEY ARE NOT THROWN AWAY.
