In Catalonia, Saint George’s day is celebrated on 23rd of April “The death of Miguel de Cervantes and Shakespeare ” that is the day when the men give a rose to a women and the women give a book to a men, but now the tradition can be backward.
In IES Sant Andreu we celebrate Saint George's Day in the auditorium with all the students and teachers of the high school.
There are theatres, choirs, concerts and awards for; photography, math, Spanish, Catalan and English literature. In the playground also somebody made sports (football, basketball ...).
At the entrance of the high school was a exchange place of books and there was another table where we could take an ilex to be planted in Collserola natural park.
The result of this event, has been very interesting and we received a lot of participation from students and teachers.
Last Saturday I went skiing with my brother, my brother’s girlfriend and her sister. My brother and I woke up at 5.30 am and we went to pick up his girlfriend and girlfriend’s sister. We took two hours to reach the mountain, and the temperature was -15ºC. We went to the ski resort “La Molina” and the snow was fantastic!
It was the first time that I went skiing, and I fell a lot at the beginning but not at the end. At 5 pm we were very tired and we went back home.
Welcome to the blog for our European exchange!!!!!!!! We want to encourage your active participation so that we get to know each other better in and outside the classroom. Enjoy blogging and make the most of the exchange experience!!!!!
