Bonfire Night

"Remember, remember, the 5th of November..."

Tonight is the date of an exciting and controversial data in the History of London and the UK.  Bonfire Night is celebrated to remember the night of the 5th November 1605 when a group of men tried to blow the Parliament up.  Guy Fawkes is the most popular of these group of men who lead the Gunpowder Plot, but I really suggest you to have a look at the links on the pictures to learn more about this bit of history ... 

Spooky Cookie Lesson

6th year students took a SPOOKY COOKIE LESSON last Thursday to celebrate Halloween.  They brought biscuits, cookies, chocolate creams, jams, toppings, and anything they liked.  The aim of the lesson was to make their own Halloween desserts with products we all have in the kitchen at home.  We all had fun creating spiders with Oreo biscuits and Mikado chocolate sticks, or decorating Maria biscuits so that they ended up being spiders ... here you are some examples.

Keep calm and ... ride safe!

Here you are a couple of videos of riding bikes.  The first one is made by a professional and you are not recommended to try his tricks.

The second video is about the rights and the duties of cyclists.  It is a video based in the USA traffic rules, but for sure we can apply many of them here in our country.  

I hope you enjoy the videos and ride your bikes as much as you can, always safe and right.  Have fun!
