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.

FILM REVIEWS

(by Fortes, Novo, Statuto, Luchesi -3rd ESB)

TROY

Troy is our favourite historical film; it is based on the “war of troy”. The principal character is Aquiles (Bradd Pitt). It is an action movie. We recommend it for teens and adults.

BLADE

Blade is a good film of action and science fiction. It is about a war between humans and vampires. We don’t recommend the movie for kids.

WE ARE EVERY DAY THINKING OF THE SCHOOL

(by Leonardo Ramírez, Franco Niccolini, Matías Castro)

The students think "We are so stressed", and they proposed some time to relax in the school to think about our lives or other things.

This is a project by now, but the students agree with this project.

This project consists in 10 min more for breaks, but we don´t present this project because the teachers wouldn´t help us.

For the moment the presentation of the project is suspended, maybe, in a future this project could be presented.
