ALICE IN WONDERLAND REVIEW
Written by Desirée Roca Ruiz from 3ºFI
"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and “Through the looking-glass” are timeless books by Lewis Carroll that take readers on a magical journey through a fantastical world. Since Alice falls down through the rabbit hole, she finds lots of peculiar characters and moments that make her question her perception of reality. Carroll's imagination and wordplay bring to life a very extravagant cast of characters, including the enigmatic Cheshire Cat, the eccentric Mad Hatter, and the strict Queen of Hearts. The story is full of fantasy, satire, and nonsense, with memorable quotes and scenes that have become iconic in popular culture. Through Alice's adventures, the author explores themes of identity, curiosity, and adulthood. With its charming narrative, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" continues to captivate readers of all ages, reminding us of the power of the mind and the uniqueness of embracing the unexpected. It's a must-read for anyone who wants to escape from reality and explore the wonders of a world where everything can happen. I find it a very interesting book as someone who has always been seeking wisdom and purpose in life, but this book showed me that sometimes, nothing necessarily has to have a meaning. Lewis Carroll's storytelling is like stepping into a dream, where anything is possible and every page is a surprise waiting to be discovered that assures to bring a smile into your face. This book is not just a story—it is a life journey that invites you to let go of reality, explore the unknown and immerse yourself in a world where imagination knows no limits.
Inmersión Linguística en Isla del Fraile
Lorena Moreno Fernández 1º FLast month,
I went to a nice resort in Águilas called Isla del Fraile with my high school. We stayed there for five days and, for me, it wasn’t long enough, I wanted to stay there all weekend as well! We did lots of fun things, my favorite one was Thursday’s Karaoke Night! My friends and I sang for two hours, with breaks between each song where we danced some songs, everyone was getting excited! When it was time to leave, not everyone felt bad about it, some were excited to see their families again.
My experience in Rochester
Leandro José Marquina.
This was my first time in London and during the week we spent there I would like to highlight a specific day.The second day in Rochester, my roommates and I got up at 8 o'clock and went to have cereal for breakfast with the family.When we finished breakfast, the families took us with the teachers and the other students, to go with them to the British Museum.When we arrived at the British Museum (which was beautiful, by the way) we were given free time to buy something and eat something, although my friend and I forgot our lunch and the teachers gave us theirs.In the afternoon we went to the place where our host families were waiting to pick us up.Later, when we arrived at our host family's house, we played soccer with Adden, the eldest son of our host family, and when we finished we ate Jamaican food.Finally after talking with Adden we went to bed at 12 o'clockThis is a photo of us with the host family:
My Erasmus trip to Germany offered me a new perspective on the world.
Elena García Espín, 1º Bachillerato A
From the airplane, I was already fascinated by the vast German fields. When I got off, even the atmosphere felt different, the air was much purer.The first day was quite interesting. We arrived at a huge school, and after some time, we finally reached the room where the Germans had prepared a traditional breakfast for us. There, I tried pretzels and blueberries. It was a bit awkward at first since my German exchange partner is quite shy, and it took her some time to open up. That same afternoon, they took me to see Schwetzinger Schloss, a palace inspired by Versailles, though it reminded me of Barbie’s palace because of its pink color.The second day was my favorite. At 10 in the morning, we took the train to Heidelberg and headed straight to its famous castle, a very romantic place. That morning was my souvenir shopping spree. At one, the Germans joined us and took us to a restaurant where I had the best Margherita pizza in the world. Later, we learned a bit about German history and had a somewhat chaotic debate about feminism. Afterwards, we went to the banks of the Neckar River, had a picnic, chatted, shared our cultures, and danced to "El Chocolatero" and "Cotton Eye Joe."The third day was also interesting. We visited the sports fields at the center, which looked just like those typical American movie scenes. My German partner and I ran 15 km there to raise money for charity and later did a photorail around Wiesloch, taking some pretty creative pictures. That night, my German partner and I watched "Mamma Mia!" and sang and danced crazily to its songs.The fourth day was when we really bonded. It was one of the Spanish students’ birthdays, and the Germans were excited about it. After going bowling, we went to a vineyard and taught the Germans bachata and flamenco. They were quite impressed with our artistic skills.The weekend arrived, and each of us did different activities with our host families. I was very lucky. They took me to an adventure park and climbing area and also to Stuttgart, where I saw the Porsche museum and got to drive a car for the first time.As the days passed, Monday came, and we visited SAP, a large company that develops software to help businesses manage their operations. In the evening, my German partner’s friends and I went to a fair where we bought matching bracelets, and later we went to one of her friends’ gardens to play cards.Finally, the farewell arrived, the saddest part for all of us. Honestly, I would have stayed longer, and to this day, I still miss being there with them. They made me feel at home, and my expectations were clearly exceeded, all thanks to the wonderful family I stayed with and my amazing German partner, who made me feel like we were old friends.
Rochester
Hugo Cabral Mantoya 2ºHI
Firstly, Rochester is located near the River Medway and it is an amazinghistorical town. The shops and houses are a little tilted, and that addseven more to this beautiful experience. The things most visited bytourists are usually the cathedral and the castle too. If you go to the topof it, it has amazing views of the town and it is a perfect place to takephotos in its little hillside, full of green grass!Secondly, the town is also famous because Charles Dickens, who livednearby, wrote many novels there; so there are a lot of little ‘Easter Eggs’spread around Rochester, mostly in its cemetery.Lastly, it is a charming town, and I recommend it a lot, it has delightfulplaces to visit and to learn more about its culture.
Spelling Bee
Spelling Bee is a contest that consists of spelling words. There are several modes, such as sudden death, where speed is important, but there’s also the classical mode, where you just have to make sure of spelling well.The journey started when a bus picked me and my mate from the school. On the way to the theatre, the bus picked up students from different highschools, so we started talking andsharing our thoughts about the contest. When we finally arrived to the theatre, they gave us abottle of water and, later on, they divided us into groups and the contest started. I think that the contest was really fun, and I had the opportunity to make new friends and enjoy dance andmusic performances. I would recommend everyone to go!
Trailers – In English
During the second term of this school year the bilingual 3º ESO students spent an entire month making movie trailers in groups. In this article we will show the best ones. This project started as an oral test, where students were tasked to make a trailer. During classes they would plan and script the trailers to then go film them, and when the teacher got to review the trailers, she realized some of them were great and deserved more. That thought led to the idea of showing them in the highschool newspaper. The teacher asked for permission to students and parents, and after that, the trailers were put in this article for the world to see!
