Visiting the theatre

Last January 19th, students from 3rd and 4rd ESO went to see a play in Salesianos school.

The play was adapted from the Shakespeare’s comedy  “Much a do about nothing”. It was very entertaining.

In the theatre, the actors sang, danced and acted and they did it very well.

The plot is about a nobleman (Benedik) and a noblewoman (Beatrice) which love each other  without knowing and without accepting it because they want to be single and independent. The servant, Bocaccio, tries to cheat on Benedik, his lord, because he is fed up with his demanding and stupid things. The lovers find out that Bocaccio is doing bad things to them and finally the get married.

The play was very funny and we enjoyed a lot. We also liked when some volunteers from the audience went up and acted with the protagonists.

Actually we recommend going to see this play if you want to have a funny moment and learning English in a different way.

Exchange in Birmingham

Fourteen students in 3º ESO have spent one week in England as the first part of an exchange programme with Priory School in Edgbaston, Birmingham. They attended a few lessons at school with their host students and they went sightseeing both in Birmingham and in Stratford-upon-Avon, William's Shakespeare's birthplace. In Birmingham they visited places such as the new library, the cannals, Chinatown, Think tank science museum, the city centre and Bullring shopping centre. They spent Saturday, Sunday and Monday with their host families, who organised different activities for them. They have enjoyed the experience and learnt many things about life in the UK, very different from ours in Spain. Now, they are willing to host their exchange students and meet their friends again.

Catorce alumnos de 3º de ESO han pasado una semana en Inglaterra como primera parte del intercambio con el colegio Priory School en Edgbaston, Birmingham. Allí pudieron asistir a algunas clases con sus compañeros de intercambio y hacer turismo en Birmingham y Stratford-upon-Avon, ciudad de nacimiento de William Shakespeare. En Birmingham visitaron entre otros lugares la biblioteca, los canales, el barrio chino, el museo de ciencias Think tank, el centro de la ciudad y el centro comercial Bullring. De sábado a lunes estuvieron con sus familias de acogida que les organizaron diferentes actividades. Han disfrutado la experiencia y aprendido mucho sobre la vida en el Reino Unido, muy diferente de la nuestra. Ahora están deseando acoger a sus estudiantes de intercambio y ver a sus amigos de nuevo.
