MAS DE NOGUERA

The 6th, 7th and 8th of October, we went to Mas de Noguera, in the mountain range of Espadà.
The landscape was very very beautiful.
We caught the train in the Renfe to Caudiel. We arrived, and we walk from the station to the Mas.
The Mas are three houses, one, the build of the bedrooms, another, the offices, the dining room, and the kitchen, and the last, in there, they make the bread, and the flour with a small mill.
Also, a small farm, with cows, sheeps, etc. a greenhouese with plants, mills for the elctricity, and solar plates.
At the night, we did some plays, for example, one was to comb somebody with a original hair looked, another was to put in colthes, and the winner was the boy or girl who wear more clothes at the same time.
The next day, we did two activities, one activitie was cooking, half group did "cocas", and the another half did cookies of almond and chocolate. The another activitie was in the vegetable garden, and we planted some seeds and vegetables.
In the evening, we went to a enormous cave in the top of a mountain.
We did a finally party with creppes, pop corn and music, the woman of the Mas was very good this night.
Then, the finally day, we caught the bus, and went to a ravine, we walk above it one hour and half a hour.
Then, we went home.

TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION!

The relation between technology and education I think is a very good idea, introduce the technology in the classroom, it improved the teaching form, to news things and it changes to news objectives.

With some internet tools, and not in internet, we can teach and learn more things about the technologies.

Now we are in the information time, internet is a very very good tool, made with pages and pages, of people, chats, blogs, forums, etc...

But for good use, you have to learn some of the objectives of computers and internet, for that, we have computer classes, they are very important for the good use.

And you can learn more educative things, with tools like blog.

This school project, i like it, I think its very go to learn english, and more things to do on a personal website, put gadgets, links, etc..

Now, I think, we can't live without the news technologies, so, if we introduce that in school, what is better than technology to learn? I think, nothing!

Helloo.

I haven't got a favourite writer, because, I didn't read so books about one.

I have read so many books. The bests I think and for me, I have read are: A journey to the center of the earth of Jules Verne, The palace of the midnight of Carlos Ruíz Zafon, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket of Edgar Allan Poe, The last book I have read is when Hitler robbed the pink rabbit of Judith Kerr, It's a very very bad book, it is a autobiography of the writer, interesting but very boring. The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, of Jhon Boyne, I like it very much, so now, I am going to do this entry about Jhon Boyne.

John Boyne was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1971. He studied English literature at Trinity college and creative Writing at the University of East Anglia.

He have wrote five novels: The thief of time, The congress of rough riders, Crippen, Next of kin and The boy in the striped pyjamas and another one about 70 short stories and many book reviews, articles and non-fiction pieces.

He have won 2 Irish Book Awards, the Bisto Book of the Year Award, and a shortlisted of many other prizes.

The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas, has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide and been made into a Miramax feature film.

Acampada!!

The last 12 (monday) of may to 16(friday), we went to camping, we have gone to north of Spain, to estella, the first hostel, the second was in rialp.

We have done a little part of the way of Santiago, it was very beautiful, the forest, the littles towns, the fields, very very beautiful.

Also, we have gone to Jaca, to roncesvalles, we did rafting, it was impresionant, with the boats, the neoprene was very rare, and the waves of the river!. We have gone to a national park in the mountain and a lake, and another with cascades, but it was dirty.

And the last day, we went to Caldea, in Andorra!

Caldea was impresionant, it is a spa, but very very big, with a big pool, inside and outside, with two saunas, Turkish bath, roman bath, and more things, it was the best!

And after that, we went to a commercial center, very strange.

Easter!

This easter I have stayed at home.

I will go to skiing, but my grandmather falled ill, so I stayed in Valencia.

I didn't do anything interesting, I met my friends, I ate in restaurants, I read comics, i play computer games, etc.

I ate the easter "mona" withe the easter egg.

I visited a part of my family, it was very good.

I did my homework, and nothing more.

What is easter?

The christian easter commemorates the resurrection of Jesus.

The holidays varies between the 22 of march and 25 of april.

the easter was celebrate with the easter jew, but with the "conciliate of Nicea" they separate it.

That holiday determinies other holidays, like the Ascent, or the "Pentecostés".

FALLAS!!
The last fallas finished the 19 of march, the day of "la cremà", when all the fallas monuments burn to finish the holidays. but this year, after fallas was Easter.
I rent a flat in the distric of Carmen with a friends of Barcelona.
And I stayed there all the fallas holidays.

I have seen so much "ninots", I think that the "Nou Campanar" was the best, and it won the prize!
And all the fallas I was in my "casal", with the friends, throwing bangers, eating "buñuelos" with chocolate, etc.
It was very funny.
The day of the "ofrenda" I dress up, with tipical clothes of Valencia, and I walked 2 hours to the Virgins seat, although it don't believe in God, it was good.
I have seen mascletàs, la nit del foc, etc.
And to finally the fallas, the "cremà" the best day and also the worst day,
the besst because I think is the last day, when you have to pass it happy, and because the ninot burns.
and the worst because the fallas finish, the ninot burns also, it's sad because it's very pretty, and because you have to said goodbye to your friends to the next year...

This fallas was the best!

THIS IS ENGLAND
I think that This is England is a very good film, based in the 80's, about a group of skinhead, and a little boy, who in the school the people make bullying to he, and who aslo is influenced by a skinhead gruop.
This film shows the urban tribes of the 80's, and the relationship between skinhead.
Been a skinhead don't significate that is a racism people, or antifascist, it's another urban tribe, but with different thoughts and a little bit of violence. Within this, there are differents tipes, the film, shows at the begining a normal group, but when arrive some people, it becames to bad, it becames to a nacionalist, fascist, and racist.
I think that this film is very very good, I like it very much, and give me some information that I haven't know.
Their appearence: they wear boots like Dr. martens, tight jeans, braces, and shirts, it depends.

OUR PLANET!

Our planet it's our house, the most important thing in the universe for us, but if we don't preserve it, and we don't take care of it, we destroy all the good things in it, and our live.

The humans do very bad things.
Today, one of the most imprtant thing, and that the TV, newspaper, etc. in general the publicity, inform but we haven't pay atntion is the greenhouse effect, with teh pollution of cars, the factories, etc.

That is very bad, it produce a hole in the ozone layer, and that it's a very important problem, and also, another thing: When the infrared rays, enter into the earth, a cause of the pollution, it bounces into the particules of pollution and don't exit out of the earth, and it will be hotter, by this, today the temperature of the earth it's hotter than 20 years before.
And the south and north Pole are melting, and each day more quickly than yestreday.

With the new construction of buildings, camps of golf, hotels in the beach, etc. the deforestation of forest are a very big problem, without plants, we can't brath.

Today are so much species in extintion, because the hunters hunt some species to catch the money.

And for finish we have to reuse, and recycle, the paper, the plastic, the crystal, the bottles, anything that we can recycle.

If we don't pay atention about this things, the world will go to the been.
We are destroying all the good things taht we have, and if we don0't preserve it, we will lost it. And the worst, our site, our lives.
