I am in the classroom,

in the window there is a

bird's nest. The nest is

made up of grass, plants,

rope, paper, and all kind

of stuff.

One day, at the begin-

ning of the story, we ar-

rived to the class at 8:30,

and the nest was broken.

But the next day, the

bird was working to

made the nest again. On

the 17th of May, 2010, the

bird layed its first egg,

the blue one.

The next day, it put its

second egg, then it has

been sitted up.

The next day, people saw one egg in

the other window. We caught the egg

and put it back in the nest of the other

window.

All the students from 2º of ESO A

have decided the bird's name. It's name

is Franky.

By Aurelia and Juan David 4ºA

Last April we went to

Santa Susana with the stu-

dents of Getafe and Mont-

cada i Rexac, in order to do

the English week, a trip or-

ganized by the Bilingual

Project.

The teachers were Irish, so

we always had to speak Eng-

lish, because they didn't un-

derstand Spanish (Spanish

to them sounded like

bla,bla,bla) At first, it was so

difficult, but later we could

understand all they said.

We went to Santa Susana

by bus. It was quite boring

because it was so far.

When we arrived, we met

the monitors. They were

pretty kind, but we were

scared when we saw that

they only spoke English.

What could we do?

We thought that we would-

n’t survive!

STORIES FROM SANTA SUSANA

PAGE 2 THE SNOW H ILL FANZINE

We did a lot of activities:

riding horses, climbing, ti-

rolina, kayaking, obstacle

track, bowing, rifle shot,

beach games, and sports.

There were also a pool,

ping-pong tables and tennis

courts, to use in our free

time.

Our favourite activity was

the tirolina (zip wire). It was

amazing!

The activity we liked the

least was riding horses, it

was the first time that we

did it, and some horses were

crazy.

The food was DELI-

CIOUS. We could repeat

whenever we liked.

The waiters were rather

kind, although they thought

that we had stolen some ice-

cream, and one of them

said: You don't respect my

At night, we went to the

disco. Everybody danced,

except Javi (he was busy

with his computer), and

Samanta.

Later, we returned to the

bungalows, to open Loly's

pension, the best bungalow

of the camp.

We had shows every night

( concerts of Miriam - the

pension was filled!)

We made a lot of friends,

and some students fell in

love, but that’s another

story.

The last day, we were very

sad, but we hope to see them

again!

In conclusion, this trip was

fantastic, we had fun all the

trip and we learnt a lot of

English! We want to repeat

next year!

Our trip to Santa Susana

Raluca and Vanessa 4º ESO

On this trip we learned a lot of Eng-

lish. We liked the activities we did very

much.

I liked the monitors very very much

because they taught us a lot of new

things and new words in English.

We rode a horse, we played baseball,

football and many games and we

climbed. At night, we went to the disco

and we had fun.

During our free time, we went to Car-

refour and we bought a lot of food to eat

at night. We did theater and it was very

funny.

Last Friday, May 14th, 1

Bach-A and 3 ESO-A visited the

Astronomical Center Hispanic

German (CAHA), located 2,168

meters above sea level.

This observatory has 4 tele-

scopes, of which, one of them

the second biggest in Europe. It

has a diameter of 3.5 meters.

When arriving at the observa-

tory they took us to a room and

they taught with photographs

and stow data, constellations,

nebulas and galaxies taken with

the four telescopes.

Later, they showed us the op-

impression and admired

the act that we visited

one of the best observa-

tories on the world.

PÁGINA 3 VOLUME 1 , NO . 2

By Silvia Patricia 4º ESO

We arrived on Monday, April 19th, and we lodged in

bungalows of three to four people. In the afternoon we

did physical activities, such as climbing.

The other days we did a lot of funny activities as rid-

ing horses, build a raft, kayak, tirolina, search for a

treasure, archery, volleyball,

The best activity was riding

horses. The worst part was the

project, it was an activity in which

we did writing activities to prepare

a wedding where each one had a

role, that was so boring!

In the evenings we rested in the

bungalows with our friends.

We played cards, ate candies and

sweets, we talked about the day, we

told jokes and drank sodas.

In conclusion, the trip of Santa

Susana was incredible, amazing

and unforgettable!

I never will forget the others stu-

dents, the monitors and in general

the trip.

An American Breakfast...

Americans usually eat a big breakfast early in the morn-

ing, between 7 to 9. Then around 11 or 12 Americans

eat lunch, usually when you are eating your breakfast.

Below are some favorite breakfast foods for many

Americans.

Pancakes: First adapted by the French from China and Nepal in the 12 century by Crusaders. Americans then took this recipe and used it themselves. Eggs and Bacon: usually eaten with toast and a cup of coffee. Cereal is another big part of American breakfast. The first modern cereal was invented by vegetarians in the 1860's in Michigan. After this invention it was spread across the U.S. The first cereal trademark was created in 1877 and it was the Quaker Oats man.

type of fruit
