This documentary talks about the high levels of contamination which the Earth endures. The high levels of pollution have an impact on the wonderful scenery in the world. Glaciers are melting, human resources dwindle and they are mistreated.  Unless we find a solution quickly, the sea level will rise rapidly, human resources will disappear, many animals will die more easily and the world will end.

Maths: What size are we?

Christmas Concert


 CHRISTMAS CONCERT

Last 20th December the students of 1st ESO went early in the morning to the home of "Ampans" in Súria.This a place that looks after mental disabled people.

We sang Carols, three songs were in English: "What Child is This?", "Good King Wenceslas" and "O Christmas Tree", five songs in Catalan: "Fum, Fum, Fum", "El rabadà", "Ha nascut el Déu Infant", "Aclarida nit de Nadal" and "Som al dia de Nadal",  and three songs playing the flute. 

The people of Ampans sang with us in two Carols: "El rabadà" and "Fum, fum, fum".
We enjoyed a lot and made the people of Ampans laugh. We arrived at school at one o'clock very pleased and tired.

Research Project Term 1

Click here to visit our website



This research project has been based on 6 groups which have studied different countries where English is the main language. We have worked on two countries from Oceania (Australia and New Zealand), two European countries (Ireland and England) and two states from the USA (New York and California). We have created our travel agency and so we have written a travelling guide of the most famous places, an essay about the culture and folklore of each country, the politics, etc. together with some videos on how to ask for information in English.

Citizenship


A PROTEST LETTER

Introduction

There have been some Romani communities living in Italy for years. The Romani or Roma community are an ethic group who came from the Indian subcontinent. Some of them are poor people and they live in shacks. Their standard of living isn’t good but recently it has become worse than it used to be.

In the context of European economic recession, discrimination against Romani has risen. A lot of families were evicted and they were being forced to live in squalid camps like refugees without basic services. Nowadays, some Romani are still living as homeless.

In February 2012, the Italian authorities promised the UE to stop segregation of Roma people and to promote their inclusion in Italian society. In September 2012, nothing had changed in these Romanians’ lives. 

That’s the reason why we call for a solution which may allow these people live with dignity.

3rd ESO C students have written and sent a letter to the Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti (through an Amnesty International web page) expressing  their disagreement with the situation and asking the governement to take action.




Letters

Dear Prime Minister Mario Monti,

We read the topic of this news . We are students from Spain. Our high school is near Barcelona. We studied this topic in the Citizenship class.
We think that the Roman people shouldn't be segregated and forced to go out of Italy.
They live in squalid camps with little or no access to water, electricity, etc
Instead of supporting men, women and children to live in more decent conditions, Italian authorities are forcibly evicting them.
We think that these people deserve better conditions and some help.
We ask you to help and allow them to live there.

                                                                                                     Judit, Eric 3C
                                                                                                    


Dear Prime Minister Mario Monti,

We think that Roman people have the same human rights as the Italians. In our opinion, we would like you could help them. Those homeless people can't enjoy right like joining school, living in a house, etc. We're all the same.
We think segregation is something that must stop. Everybody deserves to live in peace.
Although in February you promised that this would stop, still Roma people receive all kinds of discrimination.
We beg you stop this!
