My Favourite Story

   My group and I have read some stories of the book “Bookworms club: Stories for Reading Circles” in the last few days. My favourite story is “Dora's Turn”. Why do I like this story? I'm going to tell you.

  

   The story is about a war where a boy has to kill his friend because his commander told him to. I particulary like the end of the text.

   The story is about a b12 year old boy and a girl of  who are in a war. The commander, Mad Tiger, orders the boy to kill her friend Dora because she tried to escape. The boy doesn't want to kill her but his commander orders her death. He couldn't obey this order. When he was going to kill Dora, they heard something behind them. Other soldiers of the opposite army were attacking the commander so he and Dora could escape.

   My favourite character is the soldier Acayo, the boy, because he doesn't obey his superior. He follows his feelings, that they were correct.

   This is my favourite passage, I copy it: “Acayo,” Dora says, “stop this talk. You know we–”   At that moment comes the sound of heavy guns behind us, where Mad Tiger and the others are.    “What...?” whispers Dora.    Suddenly I understand. Those are government army guns, not our guns. A helicopter gunship has found Mad Tiger's group.    “This is our chance!” I drop my gun and take hold of Dora's hand. “Run!”

   Finally I want to recommend this book because their small stories were easy to understand and some of them were interesting and exciting. I could follow their arguments very well.

Nutrition Project

     My class and I have made a project about nutrition in different countries and we had to cook some foreigner food. We looked like Karlos Arguiñano. This is all the project: 

First, we spoke about healthy eating habits with a video which explain the different eating pyramids and we looked for information in a web page the first two weeks. 

We made groups and each classmate did a research about one country and its diet. Then we decided what was the most healthy country in each team, we chose one to work on and searched one recipe.

 We shared out the work in my group. I did the menu for a restaurant because we had to open an “international restaurant” and we learned how to be waiters in our establishment.

 Some days later, all the groups had to present their countries. One explain to the class with a ppt in which there were included the fact file and the recipe and the others groups marked their work.

 Later the groups showed a cooking videos. For to make the videos, we had to meet in one house for cooked our recipe. While my group and I were making the “Lamingtons” we laughed a lot because some ingredients fell down for some little mistakes of one classmate.

 I like this experience because it was really funny were “Arguiñanos” and when we finished to watch the video, we ate all the foreigner recipes, it was fantastic!

I'm sorry because I can't find the video but I will try to get it in this week...

Making Scary Movies

    My class and I have been making scary movies. My group and I wrote the script and then we made the movie. We had some problems and we finished the film. This is "Behind the cameras"

    We started making movies three weeks ago. First we wrote the script in class. After that we started making the movie. After our teacher had supervised the script.

    When we were making the movie, we had some problems. One of this problems was that we were always laughing. Even when I was shooting, I was laughting a lot. An other problem was some people in the group coudn't meet.

    Finally, we finished filming! The class watched it. This is the video... What do you think?

"The Ghost Girl"

 MY SELF-PORTRAIT

     I am Oscar and I'm fourteen years old. This is part of my personality.

     I think that I'm a shy person with people who I don't know. I'm usually relaxed and quiet. In my picture the colours are red and yellow because red is exciting and yellow is relaxed.

     There's a photo of me in the centre of the picture. In the photo I'm taking my fencing's mask. Fencing is my favourite sport because it is really fast and exciting.

     There are other things in my picture. You can see that I'm interested in music, sports and I like people who is friendly and funny.

     In my opinion, this is my real me.

Spanish Christmas food

      My class and I are doing a Christmas project this week. My group is working on typical Spanish Christmas food.

    Families prepare food to eat with their families at Christmas. It is typically big dinners for Christmas day and New Years' eve in Spain. My family and I usually eat chicken with mushrooms, seafoods, cold meats... We also cut cheese.

      The desserts are usually typical in Spain. We eat them after the lunch and the dinner. They are cookies', cakes, and sometimes fruit...

      My favourite food is the gingers' cookies. In my opinion they are a bit spicy but they are really, really good.

      Well... because my favourite Christmas' food is the gingers' cookies, I recorded a video for you. It is “How to make these cookies”.

        

     Please will you comment if you like the video and you make the cookies.
