  Robin :
 
 Robin sang sweetly When the days were bright: 'Thanks, thanks for summer,' He sang with all his might. Robin sang sweetly, In the autumn days, 'There are fruits for everyone; Let all give praise.' In the cold and wintry weather, Still hear his song: 'Somebody must sing,' said Robin 'Or winter will seem long.' When the spring came back again, He sang, 'I told you so! Keep on singing through the winter It will always go.' Anonymous

  The Oliphaunt

 Grey as a mouse Big as a house. Nose like a snake. I make the earth shake. As I tramph through the grass Trees crack as I pass. With horns in my mouth I walk in the south. Flapping big ears Beyond count of years I stump round and round Never lie on the ground Not even to die Oliphaunt am I. Biggest of all Huge, old and tall. If ever you’d met me You would not gorget me. If you never do You won’t think I’m true. But old Oliphaunt am I And I never die.

 by Lewis Carol

Happy New Year

Happy New Year Everyone!

Every year we face new challenges and also new opportunities to fulfil our wishes. My wish this year is that yours may come true. And I hope that this year will be a good one too. I'm still living the Christmas spirit, for today is the day of the Three Kings and is also the day to receive and give Christmas presents, sing and eat some cake - King's Cake - in a nice family dinner.
Sharing is a secret for success and a remarkable way to make bonds and work better.
I leave you an angel, courtesy of our colleague Anabela Romão - arts teacher - in the hope that it will always remember us the good values of life and friendship.

This angle was made with recycled materials and as you can see looks good in the Christmas tree.


How to make an angel



Make a video of your own at Animoto.

I hope angles and other nice spirits will be with all of you all year round.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Merry Christmas People

We wish you a merry christmas

Good tidings we bring for you and your kin
We wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year.

Coming soon some pictures of the treeeeee!!!!

Halloween

We celebrated Halloween yesterday with an exhibition of several projects done by students from many different classes. Their imagination and craft skills were put a test. Each student or group of students had to create a Halloween icon, symbol or character, using whatever materials they wanted but with the suggestion that, they should try to recycle as much as they could. The obvious result, since we have great students, was a diversified sample of horrible witches, ghosts, zombies, cats, draculas, Frankensteins, bats, brooms, etc. It was a success and congratulations are in order because these projects decorated our school in a 'terrifying' way.



Furthermore the students of the English Club contributed with decorations and the professional class of future bartenders served a delicious Halloween menu and cocktails that was irresistible to our taste. The Drama Club of our school, in which I am integrated as well, participated in this celebration by offering a street theatre of fortunetellers who 'fought' for the spectators’ attention in order to tell their future before running away when the witches hunter came near them! A great show although the little time we had for rehearsal.

We all had a great time! Congratulatios and thanks to all my fellow colleagues and students! Happy Halloween and a delightfull All Saints Day,

a big hug,

Ps: I have to search for a new Dentist, thats for sure!

Margarida Marques

What's next - Halloween!!! Join the club ! Be creative !

Halloween is time for celebrating one of the most popular days in the school. Everyone is invited to participate and use their imagination:

Last year Halloween was great. Take a pic at some of the activities done with class 7º C in the library under the supervision of teacher Helena Prieto to inspire you for this year's celebration:



You can join the English Club where the teachers Margarida and Rosette will help you make some halloween icons. Have fun.

The English Club is on TUESDAY from 16:40 to 18:10 in room 15.

Some comments from students

Celebrating  the European  Day of Languages at Escola Básica e Secundária do Cadaval

I’m going to share with you what happened  on the 26thSeptember in our school.
This day is very important for all students. This year all the classes built a poster about a country and all the European countries were  represented.
The ceremony started at 9:50 AM (during the morning break). First we sang the anthem of the European Union, and next we hung all the posters on a rope for an exhibition circle in the school yard.
We believe that this celebration was/ is / will be very important for the school community.
That was a fantastic day!
