Hockey

Hockey Is Life

Hello students, I’m David P., from 4th E.S.O. and today I am going to talk about a sport that has made me grown as a person, HOCKEY.

First of all, I will show you a text that a lot of hockey players published in his/her social nets when the murder of a professor occurred here in Barcelona. The killer was a little boy who has serious psycho-problems. Afer the crime, the TV news said that hockey was a very aggressive sport and this was one of the reasons for the crime.

“I’m a hockey player and this sport has proportioned me the values that have made me as person: sacrifice, fight, respect, cooperation, comradeship and overcoming. Then, I say NO to the information twisted by the media. Hockey is not a violent sport.”

Then I want to say that hockey is one of the best sports that have I ever seen. Besides this sport is very uncommon for one reason, it doesn’t move a lot of money, like football or basketball.

Hockey is a sport where you need to practice a lot and improve every day, because not everyone knows how to play this. On the other side, everyone knows how to kick a ball or throw it to a basket. With this arguments,  I don’t want to be misunderstood, but the vision of Spain is this, we search the easiest way to do something.

The truth is that this sport can’t be practiced in any space so it is difficult to see this, but the media in Spain only shows something of NHL when there is a fight, so…

I think that nobody knows that next to the Camp Nou there is an ice Hockey rink. I invite you to see some matches there, it’s free…

The Summit of the Matagalls

Hi bloggers!

I want to share one experience with you!

Last Wednesday 13 of April, the students of fourth ESO went up to the peak of the “Matagalls”. It was a complicated trip but the views rewarded us to all the effort employed.

It was a fun day and everybody had a good time with his/her friends.

Now let’s learn something about this mountain. The “Matagalls” is 1698 metres high. On the top of the mountain there is a cross commemorating Jaume Oliveras, who began the journey “Matagalls-Montserrat”. 

Here you have a picture:

Life in other Planets

Hello friends,

Today I will talk about a controversial topic. Is there life in other planets?? In my opinion, I think that if there's life on Earth, why not on other planets?

As some of us know, where it is more likely is in the red planet known as Mars, because there is not too far from the sun or very close, as our planet. This confirms that living things may be living there, things such as plants, animals and even beings older than us.

However, we cannot confirm this theory because we do not have enough technology to go to Mars.

We also have other planets like Saturn, Uranus or Neptune but as they are quite far from the sun is less likely for their characteristics.

Well guys, this is my idea about the space and its mysteries, I hope you liked it!

Star Wars

Hi bloggers!

Today I'll talk to you about the blockbuster movie from last year Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the latest installment in the Star Wars saga.

The Star Wars franchise is one of the most famous movie sagas of all time, having released 6 movies since 1977. It also made debut some of the most famous actors and actresses from nowadays like Harrison Ford, Natalie Portman, Mark Hamill or Ewan McGregor, and it's one of the best-selling movie series of history.

The latest one, The Force Awakens, was one of the most anticipated movies of the past few years, since there hasn't been a Star Wars movie since Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, released in 2005. Walt Disney acquired the rights from the saga in 2012, with the retirement of original creator and director George Lucas. Filming began in April 2014, crossing countries like Abu Dhabi, Iceland, Ireland and England, concluding in November 2014.

The cast includes:

-Daisy Ridley as Rey

-John Boyega as Finn

-Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron

-Adam Driver as Kylo Ren

And old characters such as:

-Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker

-Harrison Ford as Han Solo

-Carrie Fisher as Leia Morgana

The Force Awakens is set 30 years after Return of the Jedi; it follows Rey, Finn and Poe Dameron's search for Luke Skywalker and their fight alongside the Resistance, led by veterans of the Rebel Alliance, against Kylo Ren and the First Order, a successor group to the Galactic Empire.

It premiered in Los Angeles on December 14, 2015, four days before its release in North America. Many critics praised the film and compared it favorably to the original trilogy. The film has since broken many box office records, becoming the highest-grossing installment of the franchise, the highest grossing film in North America, and the third highest grossing film of all time with a worldwide gross of more than $2 billion. It received five Academy Award nominations and four British Academy Film Award nominations, where it won Best Special Visual Effects. Two sequels, Episode VIII and Episode IX, are scheduled for 2017 and 2019 respectively.

How to study for a test?

Hi bloggers!

Today, I will tell you a few simple tips to prepare for an exam:

The first, is reading the text, you must read all of the information, and understand it, but  it’s very difficult to memorize information, if you don't understand it.

The second step is to underline the most important words or phrases when studying as they will stay in your head longer .

Then comes the most difficult and important step, memorizing.  There are many techniques which can be used to memorize information, however you can use the one that suits you best. I recommend doing  mind maps.

Finally, you can ask for help from someone who is at home.  They can ask you some questions, and if you memorized it you will know it well.

One tip I give is not to leave this task for the last day .You have to divide the task, and organize to study for several days, as you can become  bored when  studying everything in one day.

Good luck!

Lionel Andres Messi

Lionel Andres Messi Rosari was born on the 24^th of June 1987 to a very good and very humble family, seeking the best for him.

He is a footballer and plays as a striker in FC Barcelona and also in Argentina and is a captain of his national team. He is considered to be the best player in the world by far with 5 balls of gold. With Barcelona, he has won 7 leagues, 5 Champion Leagues titles and 3 cups of the King.

In my opinion he is the best player in the world, because of his qualities, personality and character.

Breaking Bad, TV series

Hi bloggers!

Have you heard about this TV series?

Breaking bad is one of the most famous and popular series. It was created in 2008 by Vince Gilligan and it is still being awarded. The story is about Walter White (Bryan Craston) a frustrated teacher of physics and chemistry. He doesn’t feel happy with his family, a disabled son and a pregnant woman, and his job doesn’t generate enough money to keep it. For that reason, he works in a car wash in the evenings and he feels ashamed for it.

When he is diagnosed with cancer, he starts to worry about what will happen to his family if he dies, and he wants to give them as best future as possible.

During a raid by the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) organized by Hank Schrader, his brother in law (Dean Norris), recognizes an ex-student of his class, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), who makes and sells methamphetamine (a drug). He decides to ask him for help him with the methamphetamine deal. Taking advantage of knowledge of physics, he can produce a better type of meth, “the blue meth”, for which the junkies go crazy. Walter starts to generate a lot of money, and grows in the meth deal, starting to be an expert in it. He turns cruel, and willing to do everything possible to get what he wants.

Running

Hi bloggers!

Today I'm going to explain you one of my favourite hobbies.

Today, I am writing about how important sport is for me. I think that everybody should practice some sport. It can help you in many things. One thing is that if you do not feel well, you can go to running, etc, and clear your mind. I practice volleyball and I go out for a run. Volleyball for me, is an extraordinary sport because you learn to work together, because it is a sport where you have to trust your teammates.  On the other hand, running is an individual sport, but it makes you think and you can be quiet. I run two days a week, about 8km. Sometimes I run on the sand on the beach and other times I run on the street and I am watching people.  Running is a sport, but you need to prepare your mind before you start running.

Wakfu's difference is is Nations. There are mainly 4: Bonta, Brakmar, Sufoquia and Amakna. In order to enter to these worlds, you have to create a character, for example: Ocra, Yopuka, Aniripsa. Ocra is described as "Pride and precision., specializing in long-distance combat. These skilled archers are precious allies who have more than one string to their bow when it comes to keep enemies back. Yopukas are courageous knights who let their weapons do the talking. If they knew what proverbs were, their favourite would definitely be "Act before you think". Aniripsas have been renowned for their incredible healing powers, No matter what their allies are suffering from, they always know the magic word to make things better.

Our Coat of Arms

As we were studying the Medieval Ages, the students of Time Tunnel in 1st ESO have designed in groups their coat of arms.  In that time, few people could read or write, so pictures were very important to communicate ideas.

Knights especially depended of pictures to express their identity. Each of these pictures had a especial meaning and when they were combined, they formed a Coat of Arms.

For this project, they follow these steps:

BMX BIKE

Hi! My name is David, and I will talk about the BMX.

The BMX is a cycling mode and it was born in California. It is an extreme sport, so to practise it, you need a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, gloves and wide shoes. The bike must be in good conditions to resist.

You can do many tricks, that are acrobatics that bikers do. There is a wide variety of tricks:

·         Bunny hop (a jump)

·         Nollie (a jump to the other side )

·         Fakie (go back )

·         180  (jump and put in 180º )

·         Manual (balance maintaining the high front Wheel )

The bike is smaller than usual bikes, to make them easier to handle. According to your height, you should use one or another to be more comfortable.

The BMX have different modalities. For example, in the race, it is done in a similar track than motocross tracks. The soil is loamy sand and the bikes are prepared to that environment.
The world Championship, has different sub-modalities, dirt jump, Flatland, Park, Vert, Street and Street flat land.

And that’s all, thanks for reading and see you later!

Anne Frank

Hi bloggers!

I'm going to explain you the story of this incredible girl!

Anne was a Jewish girl who was hidden for two years a place. Anne had a family her father Otto, her mother Edith and her sister Margot. Anne was given a diary for her birthday, she had never written a diary.

As the family was Jewish, during the War World II, Otto decided they must hide. In the "behind house" where there were factory building works, Otto prepared an enclosure to hide. After a while there, they joined the van Pels family and Fritz Pfeffer the dentist and they received help to hide from their employees.

Anne was always writing something in her diary, every single day in the hideout.

On August 4, 1944, they were arrested.  Anne’s diary was rescued, because they left it in the house back.

Otto Frank was the only one of the eight people there who survived the war. Otto reads the diary and found in it a very different Anne. He was very impressed, and me too!!
