RHODE ISLAND: What do you know about this American state?

By Rosana Talavera

On the 9th of March, Caroline Alice Cuddy from Rhode Island (U.S.A.) came to speak to us about the state where she comes from.
Rhode Island is situated between New York and Boston.  In size, it's the smallest of the fifty states.  It's a "flat" state since there are no mountains or hills.  The population is about 1.053.209 inhabitants.  It is often nicknamed "The Ocean State".
In winter, it's very cold and few people around.  In summer, it's very hot and a lot of visitors arrive.
There are a lot of water activities and seafood.  Some of the most important activities are sailing, fishing and kayaking.

The most important places are Providence, Newport, Warwick and block Island.  Many people think Block Island is very beautiful.

Some of the traditions are: the Naraganset Indians celebration; the Waterfire; clamcakes and chowder, which is one of the traditional dishes, as are the drinks "Del'slemonade" and "Coffee milk"

SAFETY ON THE INTERNET: An interesting visit

An interesting visit

Some weeks ago we had a visit from two police men to explain for us how dangerous the Internet can be. They came with guns, some people even got nervous because the guns were loaded.
Well, they explained( with images and videos) that there are very dangerous (persons) people, like criminal bands, drug addicts, etc, that could download all yours details from your computer and copy them.
They also explained to us the illegal things and the (not il) legal things on the Internet. There are many (persons) people that think that downloading  is illegal, but really it is not. What is illegal is downloading music to sell it and to publish  it to other people, but it is not illegal download it for yourself.
After everything they explained for us, it was a very interesting and unforgettable occasion. It was very funny in some occasions because some people made some jokes even if it was a very serious matter. Well, in (resume) short it was a very interesting and entertaining visit.

DANCE WORKSHOP: DANCING FOR EQUALITY

Last week a dance teacher came to our school to show us some dance moves.  We learned a little bit of "Bachata" and we also saw some videos of Irish riverdance.  We were two hours with the dance teacher and we learned a lot of different dance moves.  It was very exciting.  First, we worked a little bit with the rythm of the music and then we got split up in two groups.  Then the first group started to learn the dance moves and after some time we changed groups, and the other group got to dance.  We also learned that it is very difficult to dance together with someone if you haven't practised.  And it takes time to learn it.  It was a very interesting experience.

TALK ON GOOD EATING HABITS by Caleb Stapleton

On Friday (the 16th) a lady came to talk about healthy eating.  She told us about how eating correctly can affect your physical appearance.  She explained that people who may look or feel different make them shy to others because they feel ugly or out of place.  She said that the models and spokepeople you see on television and in magazines aren't so beautiful as you think.  Many people spend hours on their hair and make-up to make them so perfect.

People also use computer programs like PhotoShop to make them look even better.  She proved that beauty is only skin-deep and it was an eye-opening experience for the children of our school.  By Caleb Stapleton
