VALENTINE´S DAY

IT`S VALENTINE`S DAY in 6th Primary

First, we learnt some things about St. Valentine like he died on 14th February. Nowadays people send messages, cards and presents to their friends. Sometimes they don`t write their name.

Here are some Valentine`s messages:

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Sugar is sweet

And so are you!

 

Be happy. Have fun!

Happy Valentine`s Day!

You are my best friend!

Then we did some activities: answer questions, made cards and we gave them to our classmates.  It was lots of fun!

NUMBER ELEVEN

  1. It was about eleven in the evening. Our hero is locking his gym after a hard day of work; suddenly, five men ask him for indications to reach a nearby village. But this was really an excuse for attacking and robbing our hero from Galicia. He, of course, put into practice all his self-defense knowledge, techniques in which he is an expert. Once being hit, three of the men ran away desperately; the other two, laying on the ground, said to him ‘No more, please; no more!’. Our hero let them go away. In this very moment he realized there was a man with an enormous dog opposite the street: he had been just watching, as if it was a show. Our hero thought ‘If good people do not help good people, our world will never improve’.

Proyecto de mejora del inglés

You see this photograph?

 

We have got it! All together! It is a recognition of our efforts in order to improve the English level at our school.

But, have a look at the photo again! It is strange and bizarre to have it on the door of the school. You know why? The rest of BEDA schools have it on their walls, but Purísima Concepción cannot. We are special and different. It can’t be put on our wall due to San Antonio de los Alemanes Church, which is a historical building. We are simply the best.

Moreover, Purísima Concepción was opened in 1651; thus, it is one of the most ancient schools in the city of Madrid. It is ancient but modern at the same time. However, its current building was inaugurated in 1888.

 

NUMBER TEN

  1. There are 7,000,000,000 inhabitants already all around the world.
  2. You’ll have to pay 20,000 € if you want a semen dose from the most recognized Arab horse in the world.
  3. Madonna used to try to become popular at the high-school but she did not get it; her partners called her The Hairy Monster. Nevertheless, Madonna is now the most popular pop-star all over the world.

NUMBER NINE

  1. An American soldier, whose activities were taking place in Afganistan, saved the lives of fifty-six people from virulent fire caused by the explosion of a bomb. Back in America, he’s considered a hero for the USA and, as a consequence of it, he was awarded an important medal of the US Army. When a person from the White House phoned him to communicate the news, he refused to answer the phone and said: ‘Say I’m working at the time; they must call again in my lunch hour’.
  2. A very charming and healthy woman from Italy has won the world competition Miss Curves.

NUMBER EIGHT

  1. You can see a boy playing video games at home. When his mother arrives at home, she hears the terrible noises coming from TV, she gets closer to it and she starts crying at the time of seeing the contents of the video game on the screen. This is an advert from the States, which ends as follows: ‘If mothers hate it, you’ll enjoy it so much’.
  2. The marvellous city of Cuenca is visited by an increasing number of Japanese tourists, due to a curious fact: Cuenca is the background of some very successful cartoons in Japan, since its creator loves the city a lot.

NUMBER SEVEN

  1. The person who founded F.C. Barcelona, in order to have a funny time playing football with friends, was a man from Switzerland called Hans Gamper (with the stress on the last syllable). Later on, Catalan people transformed the original name of F.C. Barcelona’s founder into Joan Gamper (with the stress on the first syllable).
  2. The current Miss United Kingdom, a very nice woman, as you can imagine, has just joined the Army again (her previous job), after being elected as Miss U.K.

NUMBER SIX

  1. Be careful with the Internet! A Chinese citizen died after having eaten a whole packet of salt. It was said on the Internet that it was a fantastic solution to make disappear the nuclear radiation coming from Fukushima, Japan.
  2. Finland’s educational system is considered year after year as one of the most evolutioned and modern educational systems within the world. But, at the same time, many Finnishes commit suicide every year, so… Does their educational system prepare them for after-school days?
  3. Oh, my God! The Chinese governement has been forced to pass a very peculiar law that obligates sons and daughters to look after their parents in case they need it.
  4. The City Hall of NYC is trying to pass a law to forbid the listening of music coming from an MP3 player while you are walking, especially if you are crossing a road.

NUMBER FIVE

  1. Néstor Kirschner, the former President of Argentina, has died. His wife, Cristina de Kirschner, is the current President of Argentina. This is the first time such a bizarre thing occurs in politics.
  2. The Pope Benedict XVI has visited Spain to celebrate the Jacobean Year in Santiago de Compostela and to consecrate Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.
  3. The British Prince William will marry an out-of-royalty woman.
  4. Flamenco and the Mediterranean Diet have been declared as Unesco’s Immaterial World Heritage.
  5. Imagine you’re waiting for the train at an underground platform. You’re hungry. In fact, you’re starving. And you think ‘I’m craving for a fresh crab’. ‘Oh, my God! Some alive crabs are in a vending machine’. Don’t you believe it? Go to China and see it by yourself!
