SHOWING SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE
Last Friday, the English Department organized the projection of Slumdog Millionaire, the story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbay, who is one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India´s "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" He is arrested under the suspicion of cheating, and while being interrogated, events from his life history are shown which explain why he knows the answers.
The picture was shown in original version subtitled. It was organized as part of our curricular activities in the classroom for 2nd year ESO. It is a very touching film and children loved it.

EXCHANGE WITH RGS WORCESTER
One more year our school has organized an exchange with the ROYAL GRAMMAR SCHOOL from Worcester , England.
Our students visited the school last March. Things went perfectly well , just as usual . However this year we were ever so lucky with the British weather !!
The British host families did their best to make us feel at home. Our students really enjoyed their stay in England.
Today we have said goodbye to our English partners. Time has flown away really quickly. The RGS students arrived in Zaragoza last 7 April.
They have also enjoyed a week full of activities and visits and an awfully wonderful Spanish weather.
The Spanish families have been ever so helpful and have made things really easy for our British children.
Hopefully , a new exchange will take place next year again. Ask your English teachers for information because the experience is really worth it!

Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day
Shrove Tuesday -also known as Pancake Day-is the day before Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent. The word "Shrove" stems from the Old English word "shrive", meaning "to obtain absolution for one´s sins through confession and penance". Thus Shrove Tuesday gets its name from the custom of Christians to be "shriven" before the start of Lent.
It is also called Pancake Day because it is the day traditionally for eating pancakes, as this was the way of using up the stocks of milk, butter and eggs which were forbidden during the abstinence of Lent.
Like many other festivities it has a pagan origin. It is an analogous tradition to the tradition of Carnival which developed separately in countries of Latin Europe.
On Pancake Day "pancake races" are held in villages and town all over Britain. Participants with frying pans race trough streets tossing pancakes into the air and catching them back in the pan while running.
