1º ESO Goes to the Theatre

The students from the first-year ESO class went to the theatre this morning. Here are their thoughts on The Prince and the Homeless Man. 

Today we went to the theatre. We saw a play about a prince who becomes homeless and a homeless person who becomes a prince. The prince wants the freedom of the homeless life, and the homeless person has looked through the windows of the palace every day and dreams of living there. At the end, the two people return to their previous positions.

The actors were very funny and at the end we had the opportunity to ask them questions. But there was a problem, because a knight used a defibrillator on the king even though the play was set in the Middle Ages. The actors were very expressive and the story was funny.

An Interesting Week

Would you test a granite floor?

Have you ever tested floors?

Spanish Culture Explained: Croquetas

By the class of 2º de ESO

A croqueta, called a croquette in English, is a fried food in the shape of an egg. It is a typical Spanish food.. The outside is covered in breadcrumbs and it contains milk and flour, as well as other ingredients like ham, egg, cheese, chicken, fish, octopus, mushroom, and shrimp. Other less common ingredients include vegetables, mashed potato, and sauce. You can also find dessert croquetas containing chocolate.

Croquetas may be eaten with mushrooms, potatoes and bread. They can be sold as a tapa, a small plate of food that comes with a drink. Doña Croqueta was a puppet on a television show.
