How It's Made
"How It's Made" is a
documentary television series. It shows how
common, everyday items (including foodstuffs like bubblegum,
industrial products such as engines, musical instruments such as
guitars, and sporting goods such as snowboards) are manufactured.
There is a Youtube
channel about it. We strongly recommend you to visit it and watch as
many videos as you can. You will learn a lot of things about

Ghost Stories
To get the students into the Halloween spirit, we shared stories about nothing other than Spirits. Some of these tales left the students with questions. Some they couldn't believe.
But here is one story that left a chill in the room...
The Story of the Photos from the Forest
During one long weekend, three friends decided to go camping in the forest that was about an hour drive from their town. They had this spot in the woods where they loved to sleep because it was quiet and calm, away from other people. They went camping for four days and three nights. Each day, they went hiking and relaxed in the shade, and at night, they slept in a cozy tent. One of the friends had brought an old film camera for them to take photos of the nature they saw, and after she returned from the trip with her friends, she had the roll of film developed.
Flipping through the photos, she saw lovely pictures of the countryside and of her smiling friends, but then she came across a photo that made chills run down her spine. There was a picture of her sleeping, but it couldn't have been taken by one of her friends because they were also in the picture, asleep beside her.
Turning through the pictures more hurriedly, the girl found three mysterious photos, one taken from each night that the friends had camped in the woods. Each showed the three of them sleeping.
Who had taken these photos? How could anyone have done so without waking them? And why? Why take three photos of three sleeping friends?

Experiments about density
Some students of I2A have done, at home, an experiment about density. They have studied what happens when some objects are immersed in water:
Coke experiment:
A) Normal coke sinks
A) Normal coke sinks
B) Zero coke floats between water and normal coke.
Conclusions --> Normal coke is denser than water because it has sugar. Zero coke doesn't have sugar, so it is less dense than normal coke.
Rainbow experiment:
A) Honey is at the bottom of all liquids; syrup is on top of honey; water is on top of syrup; sunflower oil is under olive oil; olive oil is under alcohol; alcohol is on top of all liquids.
B) They have their own densities and it doesn´t matter the order to add the liquids into the recipient.
Conclusions --> Alcohol is on top because it has the lowest density; honey is at the bottom because it has the highest density; syrup is under water because it is denser; olive oil is on top of water because it is less dense.

The Fifth of November
Remember, remember!
The fifth of November,
The Gunpowder treason and plot;
I see no reason
Why the Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!
Guy Fawkes and his companions
Did the scheme contrive,
To blow the King and Parliament
All up alive.
Threescore barrels, laid below,
To prove old England's overthrow.
But, by God's providence, him they catch,
With a dark lantern, lighting a match!
A stick and a stake
For King James's sake!
If you won't give me one,
I'll take two,
The better for me,
And the worse for you.
A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope,
A penn'orth of cheese to choke him,
A pint of beer to wash it down,
And a jolly good fire to burn him.
Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring!
Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!
Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray!

Shakespeare 400th anniversary
The bilingual groups attended to a general presentation about Shakespeare's life and work. The main points that our assintant teacher, Tim, talked were:
- William Shakespeare grew up in a rather important family. His father was influential as an alderman and his mother was the daughter of a wealthy landowner.
- He never received a complete education, but he spent most of his free time reading, writing and acting.
- There are a lot of things we don't know about Shakespeare, but we can hypothesize about parts of his life based on his writings.
- He became very wealthy from the work he did, and bought property in both Stratford-upon-Avon and London.
- Other than his famous stories, he also invented more than 1,700 words by combining words, turning verbs into adjectives, changing nouns into verbs and using many other techniques.

Saint Patrick's Day 2016
Saint Patrick's Day in SIES Luis de Gongora (Loeches)
On March 11, "Irish Treble", an Irish dancing group, together with a folk music band, came to teach us how to dance. They want to spread Irish culture through music and dance, that is why they visit schools showing their performance. They were also invited to the celebration of St. Patrick's Day in Madrid on March 13. They did their best to get us dancing, and some of our students did pretty well. Others... Have a look!!
"Irish Treble" also visited Torrejón on March 16:

Visiting the Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid
Our students have visited the Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid.
The museum has over 6 million specimens in its collections, and this makes it
one of the main reference centres for not only Spanish fauna, but also
that of other Mediterranean areas. It also offers a journey back through time via collections with centuries
of history. Spectacular specimens can be viewed, such as:
