Halloween at school

Halloween was celebrated in our school.


Students from ESO have been decorating their classrooms with some halloween decoration in English lessons. Bats, pumpkins, ghosts, witches, wolves, full moons ... have been with us for a week. They have made a nice job and they have enjoyed too.
We had a nice time making pumpkins, didn't we?

more famous quotes

Peace Brain Storming

Remember we always do

"brainstorming"

in class.

I've found a really good

website where you can do

your own on the internet.

Here is an exampe of what you can do... and it just takes a few minutes.

Peace and non-violence Day

There are more than 30 wars or conflicts worldwide at the moment. All of us are hearing about Gaza these days. But some people are trying to stop this situation and there are plenty of symbols and signs for PEACE:
A dove with an olive branch or the Peace rainbow flag are some famous ones, but there’s one more symbol that is slowly spreading all around the world known as “Non violence” or “The knotted gun”.

In 1980 the Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd created an artwork. When he learned that his friend John Lennon had been murdered, he became so upset and angry over this senseless death and its unnecessary violence that he went to his studio and started working on the “non-violence” project.
Replicas of the sculpture have been installed in many countries since then, one of them in New York/USA at the Grounds of the United Nations; other replicas can be found in Luxembourg, Berlin, Cape Town, Liverpool, Lausanne, Stockholm, Miami or Göteborg.
Now it is our turn to think of a really great symbol to celebrate this day at our school and maybe in a few years one of our students will have his or her masterpeace all over the world.
Use your imagination!

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS

5.-Enjoy life more.
6.-Quit drinking.

World AIDS Day

1st of December: "World AIDS Day"

According to UN AIDS estimates, there are now 33.2 million people living with HIV, including 2.5 million children. During 2007 some 2.5 million people became newly infected with the virus. Around half of all people who become infected with HIV do so before they are 25 and are killed by AIDS before they are 35.

Around 95% of people with HIV/AIDS live in developing nations. But HIV today is a threat to men, women and children on all continents around the world.

Started on 1st December 1988, World AIDS Day is about raising money, increasing awareness, fighting prejudice and improving education. World AIDS Day is important in reminding people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still to be done.

Women's rights

25th November: International Day of Elimination of all Forms of Violence Against Women
What is violence against women?
“Violence against women is perhaps
the most shameful human rights violation. And it is perhaps the most pervasive. It knows no boundaries of geography, culture or wealth. As long as it continues, we cannot claim to be making real progress towards equality, development, and peace.”
Kofi Annan, former Secretary-General of the United Nations
“A World Free of Violence Against Women”
United Nations Global Videoconference, 8 March 1999

We can help stop violence against women.
End Violence Against Women!
For the Health of Women, For the Health of the World: No More Violence
Here are some ideas to talk about in class:
Domestic violence causes family destruction
Love builds harmony in the family.
Domestic violence destroys everything.
Physical assault is a crime whether it happens in the home or on the street." Build family respect and harmony. Speak out against domestic violence.
Campaign slogan:
Against violence against women.
Break the silence on men’s violence.
Disarm rapists - smash sexism.
End violence to women NOW.
Men assault 1 in 4 women.
Mutual sex is better.
No sex without consent.
Sex or Rape? The difference is Consent.
Sex without consent is RAPE.
Some men break more than their girlfriends’ hearts.
What part of NO don't you understand?
"Elimination of all forms of violence, including domestic violence, is an absolute priority"
"Zero tolerance of violence against women"
Women deserve better
Take responsibility for ending rapeMen: End the sex war.
Marriage is not a sex contract.
Being sensitive is not enough.
Because you know that violence is not okay.
Men: Take no for an answer.
Men are not born violent, men learn to be violent.
Men: Be proud to be non-violent.
Real men don’t hit.
Men can change.
Men: Violence is a choice you don’t have to make.

For male abusers, the messages are:
· domestic violence is a crime;
· domestic violence will ruin your life as an abuser as much as the life of your victim, and;
· help exists if you want to put an end to your violent behaviour.

For women victims of violence, the messages are:
· break the wall of silence surrounding domestic violence!
· don't tolerate violence!
· help exists, find out how!

For all those who witness domestic violence, the messages are:
· help women victims of violence break the silence
· help them escape from victimisation.

Now send me your own comments on this issue. We will discuss them in class and publish them in our school website.
