HALLOWEEN IN 2º ESO

You may think that Halloween is not a typical holiday in Málaga, but our 2º ESO students don't think so. They brought wonderful cakes to class and, most surprisingly, they ate them all!

There was a kind of contest to find out the most special cakes, and the winners were...

Tomás Carrasco's cemetery 

Alejandro Iván Romero's rotten arm

and











as THE SPOOKIEST cake

Irene Botella's glass of cold blood

 as THE MOST DISGUSTING drink
 
 ... and everyone agreed that

Zuleima Ortiz's spider muffins

were THE MOST DELICIOUS muffins they've ever eaten.

 We all had a great time, and finished even the most horrible rotten flesh

 

                                HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Car Racing on the Gold Coast

CAR RACING: 

GOLD COAST INDY 600

The Gold Coast 600 is a famous car race that is held in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast for three days each October. It first started in 1991. It is held in the city centre and important roads are closed to local traffic in the weeks before the race. 

The Gold Coast 600 is shown on the tv in Australia because a lot of people like to watch the V8 supercar race, which consists of 60 laps. As well as the car racing there are also modelling competitions and music concerts, this year Good Charlotte and the Living End will be playing. 

A three day race and concert ticket starts from $130 (about 104 Euros). Every year tens of thousands of people come to watch the race so it is very good for tourism.

Halloween

Halloween

Halloween came about thanks to the Celts who celebrated an ancient New Year festival that marked the change of seasons. The Celts believed that for one night prior to the New Year, the world between the living and the dead intertwined and ghosts could return to earth! Spooky! As the Catholic religion took hold this pagan festival changed but never completely vanished, as we know, we still celebrate Halloween to this day.

In Australia, Halloween is not an important holiday, but it is in the United States of America, where six billion dollars is spent on this holiday each year.

What do people do on Halloween? Well children (and some adults) get dressed up in scary costumes of things like- witches or ghosts. In the evening they go visiting from house to house ‘trick-or-treating’ at each house they visit, they receive lollies. A lot of houses will be decorated with carved lanterns made from pumpkins.

Some people have Halloween parties where they might have a bonfire, tell ghost stories, watch scary movies or play a party game called ‘Bobbing for Apples’.

                           

                                   

Hi! I’m Sarahann and I’ve come to work at your high-school, Nuestra Señora de la Victoria, here in Málaga as a teacher aide and cultural ambassador. I have come all the way from Australia to live in Spain for 8 months.

In Australia, I live in a city called the Gold Coast, it is a very famous tourist destination. The Gold Coast has some of the most beautiful beaches in the country, it is a modern city and there are also rainforest areas very close by.

I live just 5 minutes walk from the beach. The beach closest to my house is a surf beach, they even have surf competitions there during the year.

You won’t find kangaroos jumping in the streets in Australia but you will find lots of beautiful birds and of course if you leave the cities there are opportunities to see some of the native animals that you can only see in Australia.

What do I miss most about Australia? My pet cat!

My favourite type of food is Indian cuisine.

In my spare time back home I would go out to restaurants with my friends or meet friends for chai (a type of tea with spices and milk that originated in India and is very popular in café’s in Australia). I also enjoy going to yoga or meditation classes.

While living in Spain I am looking forward to improving my Spanish and hopefully travelling to different parts of Andalucia, while here I would particularly like to visit Cadiz.

If you would like to know more about me then come and ask me 
