INCREDIBLE MATCH

Last wednesday there was a match between the teacher's team and the winners of the indoors school league. It was an incredile match and practically all school was watching it. The teacher's team was made of Tella, Fran, Eugenio, Guzmán, Chus, Manu and the incredible Manolo, but this team was helped by Óscar and Domi, two students of 4ºE.S.O. The match started interesting and soon the teachers scored his first goal. Tella show us his habilities with the ball and scored an incredible goal between the legs of the goalkeeper. At the end of the match, Manolo start playing and it was really funny because all the school was saying his name, and he scored two goals. We must say that Fran was spectaculas as goalkeeper, he stopped dozens of balls. Sadly the match was too long, and some students of 4ºE.S.O. didn't went to the inglish class, and there were an exam, so they must go to the exams of june. Finally the score was 7-2 for the teachers. Tella was the pichichi of the match, with three goals with a lot of flow. It's the first time in the history of the school that the teachers win a football match. We are wishing to see the next incredible match.

Anticrisis prices

  The school market is called “Mercapillo”, that comes from “mercadillo”. 

  
  It's going to be opened today (Monday, 3rd) and tomorrow (Tuesday, 4th) at break time in the playground.

There, you'll find a lot of handedness made by the children from 5 and 6 primary.

 Prices are always low because the objective is to have fun and to do different thing on class, instead of being sitting in a chair studying.

 So, if you have a little free time, you can go there to see all thing that our little artist have made.

Graduation with Geluco

 As every year, for some students arrive the last year of school.

It's not an easy year because they have to pass the course and they also have to prepare selectivity, so they have to work harder and study more than in the other courses.

It's known that selectivity is hard to prepare, days and days of study, but it is worth because with the selectivity mark you could study what you want.

In Rias Altas the graduation was last week.

In the graduation there were some teachers, student's families and of course, the ones who graduated. And after the graduation they go dinner all together.

  Graduation is an important thing for students, but it's also for their parents that see that their little child has grown up, and he/she is going to university and in some cases to become independent and go to study to another city. It's a fact for them to feel proud, very proud.

As you know, our cookers made a big bufette to say goodbye to the students. So we have made Geluco a short interview about the food they have cooked.

-What did you cook for the graduation?

+It was a bufette with different kinds of food.

-How long did it take you to cook everything?

+(Pants and think for a while) It took for abour 4 or 5 hours. It was a lot of work.

-Do you do the same food every year?

+It's varied, but the food that all people like is made every year.

-Do you cook what you want or do you have to cook what they want?

+I write a list with some suggestion, I give it to the cook chief and they choose, but the most of time I cook the food that I suggest.

-Do the students like the food you did this year?

+Yes, of course. Because when we made the menu we think about the food that students like.

San Juan

On 23rd June Galicia's biggest festivity is going to be held in nearly all beaches and fields, and of course everybody is looking forward to this event with anxiety. It also indicates the end of the course that's why many students decide to go there with their friends and pass the

dawn jumping the bonfires, eating sardines or barbecued steak.

Since ancient times, San Juan is considered a time when people burn their bad remembers on the fire, so they start a new period after it. Coruña is the place wich hosts the most amount of people on Riazor and Orzán. And this year is very important for the city tourism because it's wanted to become an International Festivity.

Without any doubt 2013's San Juan is going to be the most popular and crowded of all history.

Indoor school league-winner

The final was between 4ºE.S.O. -B and 1ºBach-A the last wednesday. All players were really nervous and all of them want to win. Finally the result was 1-6 for 1ºBach-A. The boys of 4º were sad because they want win. Next wednesday it will take place the match between 1ºBach-A and the team of teachers! Anybody will loose it, it sounds really interesting and funny.

The last sacrifice

  Only three more weeks and students will be free. But in these weeks, students must study hard to pass all subjects or, if they are in 2º bachillerato, they have to prepare the university entrance exams. And if they do, they are going to have a good summer, where their only worry will be not doing anything.

 During this course, students have learnt a lot of new things and they have forgotten some of them. Fortunately, the things that they remember are the important ones.

 In this days, you are going to study a lot and probably you'll be stressed. But you can motivate yourselves by thinking that a day that goes is a day left to summer holidays!

 You only have to do the last sacrifice.
