Year 8s exam

Today and tomorrow (26th & 27th April) Year 8s are going through exams about our unit of "people and resources". If you want to complete your knowledge with some information not just from your book, I recomend you to have a look to this BBC's article about population & consumption. Enjoy reading and good luck in the exam! ;-)

Earth Day 2012

It's Earth Day today and dozens of events are planned across the planet to mark the event. Earth Day was launched in the U.S. on April 22, 1970 to raise awareness about environmental issues. Click HERE for more information.

Spring Fair 2012

Thank you to all the people involved in our year 9B stall. You know who you are, but let me send special thank you to Carol's mother for the hand made bookmarks, "Andreas" for their ribbons against cancer and Mihail's sister doing incredible face paintings. And all the other parents and students that brought so many different stuff and products which were sold quickly. We reached 100 Euros in total (just in our stall !!!). I will keep you posted with the final figure obtained in the whole Spring Fair. "Asociación Española contra el Cáncer" is going to be very proud of you all...as much as I am already! Thank you all!!!

Updates for ALL

As you have noticed , there are some updates and changes in the webpage. As I said to you, this is a lively web where you suppose  to come and visit regularly to read, learn and interact with other people. The new chat will help you to do that in a safe environment. I do hope you find the surveys useful and you enjoy any link and extra piece of information I provide on here. I will try to put some more challenges for those interested in getting house points. Thank you all for making this possible!

My tutor group (9B)

A couple of reminders for my tutor group (9B)

1.- DO NOT FORGET to bring your products for the stall in the spring fair next Friday (20/04/12). Remember, we all agreed to bring books, old video games, teddy bears, toys or anything you think it could be sold and interesting to other people and you do not use it at home any more and it is in good condition or brand new.

2.- During PSHE next Thursday (19/04/12) we need to finish off the posters about Human Rights and we need to create nice and catching posters for our stall of the Spring Fair.

REMEMBER: All the money that we will collect will be for charity, and this year we have chosen the important NGO.... "Asociación Española contra el Cáncer". 

So, we should devote our most serious efforts to collect lots of money for this organization.

Settlements... Year 7

In the last term we have been talking about settlements and redevelopment plans as a good way to increase the quality of life in many cities and change the run down areas. The following video shows the redevelopment plan generated in Barcelona for the olympic games of 1992. This video is showing how important this plan was for the city and they are wondering what will be happening in London 2012 after the olympics.
