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.

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

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Merry Christmas People

Merry Christmas people!

This year the group asked the students to use their imagination and create a christmas card to decorate our huge Christmas Tree. And they accepted the challenge and created some very nice cards of all colours and sizes.


We wish you a merry christmas
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!
