REVIEWS

A NIGHT IN THE MUSEUM

A night in the museum is a comedy with adventure, love and an epic battle. The film has exellent special effects and there are stars of Hollywood.

The principal character, Ben Stiler, has a big problem with his son and to solve this, he works in a museum at night.

The film is very funny and we recommend it because the story is beautiful.

THE NOTEBOOK

It´s a film about a dramatic love. The principal characters are two old people in a house of the elderly. Then, the male principal character tries to help his wife with her memory. The film is very sad with a sweet ending. We recommend it for people who like dramatic stories.

SAN ANTONIO SCHOOL

(by Aparicio Ivana, Arnijas Antonela, Blanco Belen, Rodriguez Daniela)

Our school is in San Antonio de Padua next to the Church. It´s a very old building and has an athletics club called Ateneo. The students wear a uniform -grey trousers for boys and grey skirt for girls, shoes, a white t-shirt and a blue sweatshirt.

Lessons start at 7:30 and finish at 13:50, but on Mondays and Wednesdays we stay at school until 5 o´clock because we go to the P.E. class. It starts at 4 o´clock, so we have 2 hours for lunch. We always bring sandwiches and we buy a Coke in Zuly´s kiosk and we have lunch with our friends in the small square in front of the school or in the kiosk bench. We´ve got thirteen subjects and catechims too, and sometimes all the students have to go to the Church to pray.

Last thursday 16 th in the Spanish class with 2º Sociales, the students made a war..., yes a war, but whit paper balls. This didn´t last much because the teacher confiscated the paper balls in the middle of the class and the war was over, and the people started to work.

When the period finished the teacher took away the paper balls and the students went to the break.

When the students came back from the break they thought that nothing had happened but when they sat on the chairs the principal was inside the classroom with the paper balls in his hand. Everybody thought "Oh no, what did we do?" but the principal only gave 2º sociales an advice.
