CI & BATXILLERAT- GIVE YOUR OPINION.

It is said that life is a matter of goals achievements. Some of them are pretty easy but others require a bit of effort.

• Read about Roger's aim to run a Marathon.
• Watch his home video
• Write your opinion regarding to LIFE GOALS.

The NY Road Runners, the founders of the NYC Marathon, sent an email out to the runners of the 2011 NYC Marathon asking a simple question: What motivates you to run? I initially replied in an email but then decided that it might make more sense in my case, to respond with a video as well. This is my response.

I will apologize in advance for the beginning video footage of me but I can now post it as it is now in my past. It is my sincere hope that others may see the condition that I was in and be inspired to change their own life. Even if you are not overweight, it is important that you always have goals in front of you and strive to make the world a better place for you and everyone else on this planet. :)

Thank you and for more information go to RFME.org.

The Triangles APPLEJACK

The Triangles are a five piece band from Melbourne Australia, who began playing together in 2003. Their sound is a mix of psych-pop, indie-folk, and rock.

In May 2010 the Triangles travelled to the Spanish island of Menorca to appear in the new summer commercial for Estrella Damm. Their song Applejack was featured in the advertising campaign, which will be appearing across all media in Spain from June 1.

Watch the video and enjoy it.

Lyrics The Triangles - Applejack

Raise your hands and sing it with me
Sometimes the strongest and most wonderful things are those we cannot see
Sing a song, sing a song
About how things seem more important at night (x2)

Raise your hands and sing it with me
Sometimes the strongest and most wonderful things are those we cannot see
Sing a song, sing a song
About how things seem more important at night (x2)

So sing apples, sing drumkits
Sing moonlight, sing lungfish
And sing a song mitochondria
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

Raise your hands and sing it with me oh,
Sometimes the strongest and most wonderful things are those we cannot see
Sing apples, sing drumkits
Sing moonlight, sing lungfish

A name poem for ST Jordi.

We’ve started this 3rd term dealing with adjectives to describe feelings with our students from 2^nd ESO.

I was thinking about doing something different and meaningful to them when I came up with the idea to tell 2S3 students how wonderful they are. Eventually, the idea became much more interesting as long they could tell each other how great they were so as to create a good class atmosphere.

I took their photographs from our website, put them in bag, shuffle them and asked the students to pick up a picture. As soon as they got their partner’s name, they looked up for suitable adjectives to describe them in order to make a visual poem with their names. They were expected to use colours, printed letters, pictures…… they had to be ORIGINAL!

We hanged the poem in their classroom for a week and afterwards they kept the ones with their own names.

Here you have an album to look at. Enjoy it!
