Welcome to Seville

Seville is a very beautiful city known for its mix between arab and cristian that you can see all over the city. There are lots of things to do in Seville but the most important places to visit are:

The Cathedral: Its the 3rd biggest cathedral in the world. It was built in the 16th century. It contains the Giralda, a tall tower from which you can see Seville perfectly. It's a very good place to take photos and to do a bit of sport because you have to climb 34 slopes to get to the top of the Giralda. It was registed as a World Heritage Site in 1987 by UNESCO.
.                                         



The Alcazar: It's an islamic palace with a huge beautiful garden where you can see where the arab king used to live. It's the oldest royal palace still in Europe, and it is also a World Heritage Site.

Maria Luisa's Park: It's the most famous park in Seville. Recently it has been declared Cultural Interest Good and it's also part of the Historical Heritage of Spain. 

What's in the jar?

These weeks we (4^th B and D) have been working on a charity project, but it started to be organized nearly two months ago, it’s called “what’s in the jar?”

This all begins nearly 2 months ago when our teacher told us to do research on a charity. I had to look for an environmental friendly charity so I decided to look for information from Greenpeace.

Then in groups of 4 to 6 people we had to decide on a charity and prepare a powerpoint explaining what the charity does and think about an activity to raise money for it. When all the powerpoints were presented we voted for the best idea and it came to be the “what’s in the jar?” project.

It consisted in filling up a jar with candies and, after paying 1 euro, people had a chance to win all the sweets that were in the jar if he or she guessed the exact number of candies in the jar. All the money collected would be given to Cáritas.

So we started to work on the project: some people were in charge of contacting with the charity, and the principal teacher to ask for permission to organize the activity, others were in charge of designing, printing and sticking the posters on the school’s walls and others were in charge of the stand.

We advertised it all over the school, even in social nets, and in Friday 10^th we finally did the activity and it went better than I thought it would, we raised a lot of money and we were able to have the Tomares Cáritas 

President there who was very happy to see what we had organized to help poor people. All the money was going to pay poor people’s electricity bills in Tomares.

So I think it was a very good experience, we learned how to organize events and it was for a good cause!

Here you have some pictures of the day!

My Greatest Ability

One of my greatest abilities is that I can learn languages very fast.

I've always been interested in learning languages, strange words fascinate me. That has to do qith the fact that I like travelling to other countries and learning a bit of them.

Learning languages takes the time you want, because you decide how much time you want to spend on it. In my case I go to an English academy, I've been going to that academy since I was 6. It's very near my house and I only have to go 3 hours a week.

I find this ability very useful for the future when I have to look for a job, the more laguages you know, the more possibilities you have to get the job.

In conclussion, that's why I think it's one of my greatest abilities, not very difficult and useful for the future.

                                 This is the academy where I go every Tuesdays and Thursdays

Belenes in Seville

Belenes

Hello everybody!
Today I'm going to talk about Belenes, specially the places where you can find them.

For example you can see Belenes in banks, they're very big and have a lot of figures. You can also see this kind of Belenes in  Shopping Centres

Hospitals are another place to see Belenes, these are not as big as the other ones because they are usually made by people with mental problems.

Another place to watch Belenes are churches, these are usually the most beautiful ones, you can do a donation after watching it.

But the most common thing is to have a Belen at home, almost everyone has one.

Thanksgiving day

Today it's Thanksgiving day and I'm writing this to thank for my parents, friends and the things I have.

My parents, they give me a lot of support and they are very king with me: they let me stay in the street until it's late, they give me money from time to time, they let me go to sleep to my friends' houses... And that's why I want to thank them for all they do for me.

Next thing to thank for are my friends, they are very kind and sociable, we usually meet at the weekends and we have very good times laughing, listening to music and playing computer games. They're very important for me and I want to thank them for those moments.

And finally I want to thank for all the things I have, I consider myself a very lucky person: I have a house, my parents have jobs, I can eat when I want and I have a ot of things like clothes, one computer, a smartphone, a playstation... And this is what I want to thank for.

In conclussion, the thing I have to thank more for is for my parents who had given me all I have.
