St Valentine's Day

Last Friday, ESO students celebrated St. Valentine's Day writing poems during Nithin's classes. 

Being honest, I was sometimes surprised at some students' art and creativity. They put all their effort on their poems and this is the result. You can read all the poems on the 4th floor corridor boards. 

More compositions from 2nd ESO students

My youngest students are working really hard so here I am again introducing you some of their compositions. This time, they had to write about "A Brave Rescue" so they let their imagination fly. This is the result:

A Brave Rescue

by Anaís González García (Group B)

He was skiing at Mongdo's Park. I was walking around with my friends when I saw him. Well, first I saw a blood puddle near a stone...Then I saw him. 

First, I thought that he was dead or something like that. I decided to phone the 911 but obviously there wasn't any service over there, so I decided to shout saying "HELP!!". Someone heard me and she called a doctor. 

Five minutes later I heard a helicopter. The situation was dangerous because it was near the top. 

At the end, the helicopter saw us and they landed near there so they could take him to a hospital. Now, he is OK. 

A Brave Rescue 

by Paula Vilariño Fernández (Group B)

The rescue happened while I was doing snowboarding in Montreal last week. 

I was with my friends and we were in a ski slope. We were skiing in the ski slope when I saw a man on the mountain. The man was asking for help. The snow was coming from the mountain behind him. 

A climber was watching the problem and he called the ambulance to help him. The ambulance went to the mountain and rescued the man. 

He was brave because in the mountain it was very cold and it was dangerous. 

In the snow

by Lucía Bernárdez Romasanta (Group A)

The rescue happened while we were on holiday in Sierra Nevada (Granada) last December. It was really exciting and I took many photos of this landscape.  

I was with my friends and we were on a sledge. We were exploring the mountain when we met four people lying on the floor. There were three girls and one boy and they were unconcious. 

An avalanche was coming from the mountain behind them. On having seen the situation, we started making a bobsled with sticks and blankets to rescue them.

The avalanche progressively was nearer us but finally we could rescue them. The helicopter of emergency took them and it could save them. 

We were very brave because we could have stumbled over the snow when we were rescuing them and all died. 

A Brave Rescue

by Juan Blanco Martín (Group A)

One day I was in the Alps with my friend. We were in a secret mission to eliminate the enemy. We climbed and we got to the top while the enemies were planning their plan. We could see them and they were building a bomb.

We climbed down while they shot us but they failed. We hid but they found us. I could shoot the bomb's computer and I didn't fail. The computer activated a countdown and we escaped very quickly. We escaped while an enemy shot my friend and he hurt him. 

I phoned the rescuers and when they came they had a storm while they were flying, but they could come at the end. 

Now he is well and we saved the world!!

A Memorable Day (compositions from 2nd ESO students)

A Party
by Icía Gómez

I remember a party in a beautiful house with a big swimming pool next to the beach last summer.

My friends and I were celebrating the end of high school. Our parents prepared a delicious dinner. After that, we danced, listened to music and swam in the swimming pool. 

My best friend, María, and her brother were dancing and she fell down into the water. Everybody tried to help María but she nearly died. Finally, her parents decided to call an ambulance. I was really scared and worried about her.

Fortunately, María was OK and we continued the party the following day. 

A Memorable Day

by Juan Blanco

I remember when I won my first tournament. It was a memorable day!

The tournament was in Tui. I went with my new team "A.D. Bosco" and in the sport centre there were the teams of "Estudiantes Pontevedra", "Maristas Vigo" and "C.B. Tui". 

Our first match was versus "Maristas" and we won it easily. Next we went to have lunch in front of a church. 

The next match was the final and it was versus a team which is in the Galician League, "Estudiantes Pontevedra". The match was difficult but at the end of the match we could win. We were the champions of the tournament. We were very excited!!

Then we came to Ourense in the bus and it was very boring because all of us were a little tired and asleep. The day was very exciting and funny. 

 

The importance of education

Dear students,

I've told you many times how important is that you realize you should start making your own decisions and therefore, taking responsibility on what you do. You won't always have someone telling you what to do and how to do things so it's good that you should make your own mistakes and learn from them. 

This is what this video is about. I encourage all of you to watch it attentively, it's very interesting what Michelle Obama tells us about trying to "be the best we can be" and fighting to get a good education to control our own destinies. 

Pay attention and enjoy it...

Happy first week after Christmas!!!

Towards the new year...
