THE BEST INVENTION ALONG HISTORY

According to many people, the wheel is one of the best inventions in history, though it isn’t my favourite.

I agree that if the wheel hadn’t been invented, we couldn’t have had any machines, any means of transport, etc… Practically everything around us works with wheels, or have been manufactured with machines working with wheels. At this moment, without it, the world would seem not like a modern world. However, there are also negative things, as because of the wheels there are lots of accidents every day.

To sum up, there have lots of good inventions along history which have helped to our progress in order to get a good quality of life.

MARCH /MAKING UP STORIES

LOS ALUMNOS DE PROA – 2ND ESO

Han estado inventando historias a partir de un título:

 “LA RATA SABIA”

MAKING UP A STORY – “THE WISE RAT”

It was a dark night in the city of New York, where rats were wandering around in year 2.100 after the great tragedy in Planet Earth.

The rats had a lot of difficulties to survive as there was no food and not enough resources to feed themselves, we could say, they were almost starving. However, there was a wise rat who was very clever due to her experience in that kind of dire straits. She had lived in a UNICEF camp, where she had learnt that if you are resilient and patient, others may do your job. Soon she learnt that rats had divided in groups to check all the ruins left in the city and surroundings

SCHOOL EXCHANGE (THE NETHERLANDS)

On 19th-23rd of March, a group of students from 4th and 1st BTO (Pedro Cerrada) travelled to Gulpen in the Netherlands for a student exchange with the SOPHIANUM INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, as part of their project "ELVIS" ( Euro link virtual international school).

The students were staying at students' families and the teacher Marga H. at the teacher's home: Hans Vanderbos.

They will travel to Utebo in September 2014.

We attended some lessons, learning survival Dutch. We visited Maastrich and the Open University in a guided tour (anyone can apply to enter). We travelled to Amsterdam to see hte Rjiks Museum (Rembrandt, Van Gogh....) And on the last day some of us had the opporutnity to visit Achen (Germany) and the Palace of Carlo Magno, which was very interesting together with the Palace Chapel, one of the only things that was not destroyed in that town during the II World War.

Ah, one curiosity, they have the 3 countries point, where you can step your feet on the land of three countries at the same time: Germany, Holland and Belgium.

People were very friendly, they speak very good English and they are already eager to come to Spain in September 2014
