NEW RECORD: OVER 16,000!

It's strange but last week we published that we were over 15,000 visitors since the day we started the blog. But in this week, we have received more than 1,000 visitors from many different countries, such as Trinidad y Tobago, Australia or Germany, amongst others (entre otros).

AND THE WINNER IS...

Today we have received the good news that a student from our class has won the OSASUNA'S FOUNDATION PRIZE in the category of "Essays" (redacciones). The panel of judges has taken into account his original and creative writing amongst other things and, finally, he has been the winner of all Navarre.

Congratulations for this small student and, of course, for all his mates (compañeros). We should be proud (orgullosos) of the class where we work. On Monday, the 23rd of May, we will celebrate in class. 

Looking at both pictures, which one is the hidden student? Guess with a comment! 

Clue: he likes to play football in the playgrounds with a small ball but he is used to lose (a pity, je, je).  

Deadline: Sunday, the 22nd of May.

Exercise 1         Exercise 2             Exercise 3

Important: think before answering.

A village with history!

Everybody know that Jorge Nanclares likes History. He knows a lot about many things, because he is used to read a lot. Now, he has written an essay about his town. One clue: the meaning of "crusader" is "cruzado" (warriors from a long time ago, XI Century).

"Cizur Menor, near the city of Pamplona, is a very small but interesting village. Do you think than in the past this village was a crusader town? Incredible but true! On the other hand, I have read that Cizur Menor has a famous restaurant nowadays, called "Tremendo". I had lunch there many times and I recommend it. You should know that I live in this place. I enjoy playing with my friends and, especially, the square of a small café, called "La Parrillada".   

The fastest animal

It is known that Javier Royo likes animals, but especially all kind of "Birds". Here you have a writing where you can learn about the Falcon. As always, try to find his mistakes and send a comment to help him.

"The Falcon Peregrinus is the fastest animal in the world. It has the ability to capture birds in the air by kicking with its feet and then turning around to catch them. In the final phase of the descend it overtakes the velocity of 400 kilometres per hour. You can find the nest of this animal in a high rock.

We can find these animals in all the continents except Antartida. Its scientific name is "Falcon Peregrinus". Is the principal specimen in hunt. It is a migratory bird and its family is Falconidae. The lenght of this animal is between 38 and 48 centimetres".

Asterix the Gladiator

A new summary has come. This one is from Santi I., who has written some lines about another incredible book of Asterix and Obelix. As always, try to find his mistakes and send a comment with your proposals.

"In this comic, Asterix and Obelix crush the Romans and Cesar want to put them in the circus to fight with lions, legionaries and gladiators. In the circus Asterix and Obelix always mash to the men and animals of it. All the champions of the circus train Asterix and Obelix and it's very funny. I like the part when the trainer of Asterix and Obelix started to cry. I recommend this book to all the students of my age".

Asterix and the Class Act

Rodrigo has sent this summary. Enjoy it and help him by sending a comment if you find mistakes, but is not going to be easy for you to find them.

I like this book because is very funny. When Obelix was a little boy he didn´t study anyting and for this reason he has to go back to school with the children, and start learning maths, language... His friend Asterix does not need to go to school again because he was a good student. The most Asterix and Obelix like is to fight with the Romans and they always win.While Obelix attend the classes with the children, the rest of the Gauls fight with the Romans.Finally Obelix learns a lot and go back to have fun with Asterix.

Alvaro, a student of 4th A, has written to our blog to give some advices about the things you need to complete the famous Pilgrim to Santiago. In the text there are some mistakes. Can you find them?

"I'm going to speak about the Way of St. James, that I did with my father last December.

Where does it star?

1. The Way starts wherever you want: from the door of your house or, if you want to do it completely, you have to start in Franche.

Which clothes do you need?

2. The clothes that you need to do the Way:
