Medical Geography and Movies

In geography we are learning about medical geography so we are watching a movie called 'Contagion'.The movie is about how fast diseases can spread by people touching things.The movie is really interesting but everyone is getting a bit paranoid.We are also making pamphlets about different diseases.My one is about Typhus;I have learned a lot by making my pamphlet, I've learn the about symptoms,where its most common and how to prevent it.
Here's the trailer to 'contagion'!

We are also watching a movie in religion called 'Pursuit of Happyness' because we are still learning about the Millennium Development Goals,and the movie is about poverty.

Mini Company Workshop-Best Day Ever

Yesterday,since my year is taking part in the mini company TY project,we went to Odeon Cinema for a workshop.In the workshop we were suppose to be learning how to start running our mini company but the speaker who was suppose to do it with us was sick and rushed off to hospital.We were all in the cinema before we knew this so our buses had gone home and we had no way of returning to school;so the nice people in the cinema let us see the new James Bond movie 'Sky fall' for free!This was really kind of them and we all really enjoyed the movie.After the film the people who worked there gave everyone a bag of sweets,popcorn and a drink;and a Madagascar 3 cup!When we arrived back at the school it was lunch time and all the other years were really jealous because we got to see the movie during a school!

Since we missed the mini company workshop we have to have another one a different day.My mini company is coming along well but we still have a long way to go before we start selling.My company makes magnetic frames out of recycled materials!Each one is unique and is decorated by our production team!Heres a few of the frames we have already made:

Spanish

This year in Spanish class we have been watching a Spanish movie called 'El Bola' (which means 'The pellet).Every Thursday since the start of the year we have been watching it in class,and this week we finished the movie.It was a very realistic movie;nothing like what I usually watch.It is about a boy named Pablo (his nickname is Bola) who lives in Madrid with his mother,father and grandmother.Its a sad movie because the Pablos father abuses him.Pablo has no friends but a new boy,called Alfredo,comes to his school and they quickly become friends by bonding in a theme park.Alferdo begins to suspect that pablo is getting hurt at home but I'm not going to give away the ending;but its a really good movie even if you don't understand Spanish theres English subtitles so I would definitely recommend you watch it.

Spanish class in transition year is very different from 3rd year.This year I have a new teacher and even tough everyone says TYs a waste of a year its not;in spanish we have learnt loads of new things.We did mini projects on our favourite films on the computer and printed them out.Now they are in the spanish room on the back wall.ANd we revised some things from last year like how to talk about ourselves and families.

Next week our spanish teacer said that we are going to be learning how to talk about music in spanish.
