Do you believe in luck? Are you superstitious? If not, why do you think some people are?

“I’m not a superstitious person. For me, it’s stupid to think that if I see a black cat, I’m going to have bad luck. In fact, I don’t believe in luck. The superstitions for me are people’s explanation to verify those things we don’t understand. I respect everybody who thinks that luck is their actions’ responsibility, but, in my opinion, they are only the consequences of our acts.”

Emma G.

4^th ESO A

“I don’t believe in luck because everything happens as a consequence of a decision that you took before. I neither believe in superstitions because they are an invention of the society. I think that some people are superstitious because everyone needs to believe in something. Some people believe in God, and another people in bad luck, or just in seeing a black cat!”

Judit L.

4^th ESO A

“It depends. I mean that I believe just in some superstitions, and I do it because my grandmother explained them to me. So, I believe because she was right most of the time as she was very smart.”

“I’m not superstitious, I don’t believe in luck, but I respect people who believe in luck and are superstitious.”

PROMPT 1:

Would you rather be very beautiful or very smart?

"I prefer to be smart because being smart opens to me the doors of all jobs and I can get a lot of money to pay the surgeries to be more beautiful. People prefer personality and feelings, so being smart is always better.”

Víctor F.

4th ESO A

"I prefer to be smart because your appearance can change during your life. If you are very beautiful but you are not intelligent, people can be tired of you after a time. Finally, if you are smart, you can get a good job, and this is not always possible if you are only beautiful."

Marina C.

4th ESO A

“I prefer to be both things because if you are beautiful, it is only useful to be famous or a model. On the contrary, if you are smart, it is only for your studies. So, I prefer to be beautiful and smart because it is useful for many things as beauty is in the inside too.”

Eider C.

4th ESO B

“I prefer to be smart because I can get a job very easily.”

PROMPT 1:
Should cameras on drones watch all public spaces to prevent crime, or is this a violation of privacy?

“I think it is a good idea to use cameras on drones in public spaces because the security will improve a lot. Committing a crime would be almost impossible, so people will be like an army and life will be boring.”

Xènia L.

4^th ESO A

“For me, it is a good idea that drones and cameras record the public spaces to control the criminals. Thanks to this, it will be easier to identify criminals, and this is not a violation of privacy because it is a public place and there are many people there.”

Íker C.

4^th ESO A

“In my opinion, cameras on drones are a violation of privacy, but sometimes they can record actions that can help lawyers. For example, if there is a raping or any crime in the street, drones with cameras could help people to discover who the guilty person was. But I still think it is a violation of privacy because someone can record you without your permission.”

Laura P.

4^th ESO B

“I think that cameras on drones are okay for some reasons because you can find some things that you can’t see. However, if the drone goes to a private zone, this can be a violation of privacy. People who live there can go to the police and denounce you.”

Science Blogs

During this school year, the students of 2^nd ESO, in the optional subject of Science, have been learning the different systems that form the human’s body.

To make the classes more dynamic, we separated the class into different heterogenic groups. Each member of each group, had to research different contents about a specific system, like how it works, the main organs or the most important diseases. Then, each person takes responsibility for a specific role in the group. When we had researched the information, we put it in a web page that we had created by ourselves. When all the groups finished the web page, we presented it to all the schoolmates.

We have learnt and enjoyed a lot with this optional subject!!!

British Cities

"Hello! We are two 3rd ESO students and we are here to talk about an exciting project about the UK.  During the project, we had to search information about some British cities. First of all, each pair of students was given the name of one city, like Manchester, Cambridge, Bristol, Birmingham... We had to search their history, landmarks, famous people or entertainment. 

The result of this project has been an interesting Trivia game about all the cities and a mini-guide with the information from all of them. 

Remember, if you want to have information about British cities, take a look at our guide!!!!"
