PRISION BREAKS

(by Facio Francisco, Agustina Mele, Noelia Amato, Juan Manuel Aloe)

Last week, the headmasters decided that students mustn’t leave the school before the breaks (11:40 hs).

The students disagree with this decision because this also delays our meeting with the food in our houses, and not only this, it also take out "study time". We think it should be better to go out when the break starts.

A PROBLEMATIC SITUATION

(by Rodríguez, Blanco, Arnijas and Aparicio)

At the moment the headmaster and the preceptors don´t allow us to buy nothing in the kiosk when the break is over.

This is terrible because the break is very short and all the students are hungry and the person who works in the kiosk is very slow.

Please we need a solution!

For this trimester 2nd sociales has to preparate in groups a big lesson for geography about the regions of Argentina. There are six groups. The students have to make a video with images and photos, this can be about animals, flowers, trees, people, cities, etc.

At the moment only two groups delivered their lessons. The first group talked about the Argentinian North West and the second about "Sierras Pampeanas".

We wish luck for the rest!

THE END OF THE YEAR

(by Caminada, Gómez, Roldán, Barreto, Desco, Pensado)

The end of the year is coming and the students will start to stress. Nobody wants to fail the exams because all the students want to enjoy the holidays.

The "integradoras" will start in November and we will have to pass them. The students must sit for four exams.

If you fail an "integradora" you will have to study in December. Go to study, now!
