Talent show

Hello everyone!!!
Now I’m going to tell about the Talent Show in my school. This was presented by many students from Primary, Junior High and High School in our institution on 25th May, 2007. In this show they sang, danced and played many different types of music. They started the program at 8:00 p.m. But I don’t know the time when they finished, as we came home at about 11 p.m.
First, a music group formed by some high school students, played and sang a song (I couldn’t write its name. I don’t remember it well). Later a girl named Pamela, from Junior High School played the violin as in a song called “Molinos de Viento”, it’s originally by the musical group “Mago de Oz”. Then my friend Leyla’s sister sang a Lindsey Lohan’s song. Also my friend Melissa and a friend of hers sang a song called “Me enamore de ti”. Many people sang. All of them sang very well.
In the intermission one of our school teachers played an electric guitar. He played it for nearly half an hour.
After the intermission, some girls from Junior High School danced for a song called “Candy Man”. When they finished some girls from 4th grade of primary danced for the song “Hips don’t lie” of Shakira. They danced very well. Then many girls from Junior High School and High School danced different songs. Later, a girl from High School danced ballet. She danced it very good. I liked it very much.
After she finished there was a skit (like comedy). We didn’t saw it all. I knew that after the skit, there will be music & dance by all. As it was late, we returned home before the skit got over.
I liked the show. Hope you enjoyed reading about it.

Science Fair & Mini Olimpiada

Hi everyone!!!
Today I’m going to write about the Science Fair and mini Olympics in my school. They were held on 4th and 5th of May, 2007 respectively. In the science fair each class presented a theme.
Our class theme was "human body". Our class was divided into 6 teams. My team presented about the Nervous System of the human body. My team members were Sofia Andrea, Christian, Jibran and Francisco. We made many charts about the parts and functions of a nervous system and a model of a brain in clay. We gave folders about the nervous system and sweets to the visitors. We also served tea of the “7 Azares”, which is made of 7 types of flowers and is good for relaxation. My friend Christian’s mother prepared it. Other teams in my class talked about the digestive, reproductive (man and women), circulatory, respiratory and skeleton system. It was fun.
The presentations of other classes were also very good. But I liked very much the presentation by 1st grade students, because the classes and projects were beautifully decorated. Among the 1st grade presentations, I liked I C section very much. They presented details on the caveman. All the students and the miss were dressed as caveman. The decoration was very interesting and nice. It was very much fun. I liked the Science fair very much.

On the 5th of April we had our Mini Olimpiada. On this day we ran 2 rounds in a race around the school. Me and Nancy finished almost together in 9th & 10th place among a total of 50 students. My friend Sofia came in first place. She’s very good at running and earlier she practiced athletics in the City Sports Centre. Our class also won in the basketball match against the other team. Although I wasn’t in the class team, I played for a little time, as Sofia got hurt. I also ran in relay race. I ran 3rd position and gave the baton first to my team mate, but she was out-competed by runners of other team and we came in 3rd place. This day was also very fun.

Mis vacciones de semana santa 2007

Hi everyone
I am going to tell about what I did in the holidays for Semana Santa (For Easter and Good Friday).
First, we went to la Granja del Abuelo with Sra. Lorena, Andrea, Carlos, Gracia, her parents, aunt, cousins and her grandmother. In this place, there are ranch animals like horses, cows, ostrich, goats, sheep, rabbits and mules. You can feed them and play there. We milked cows, I was scared initially but it was interesting. I liked the Granja del abuelo very much.
Then, we went with Dra. Lilia, Sra. Luz Maria, Sra. Lorena, Sr. Carlos, Srta. Yessica, Andrea and Carlos, to a little town called Ceballos and then to a ranch “La Flor”. There some of their family has been living for a long time. They are in the Zona del Silencio, (silence zone), Durango (a state near Coahuila). Further this comes under one of the biosphere reserves and one of the protected areas in Mexico, called Mapimi. It’s a semi desertic place. But it’s very beautiful. In La Flor there is a museum. We visited it. Though it was small, it was interesting. Then, Andrea, Carlos, me and other children went to explore in a little hill near by. We saw many chameleons and many cactus as biznagas, tree cholla, etc. Then we went to ride on a horse. It was fun. We also ate a delicious food, a type of gorditas (a typical Mexican food) and homemade cheese In La Flor they had horses, hens, chickens and pigs. This place is very good, even though it’s in a semi desertic place.
On another day, we went to Gracia’s aunt house. There we played with the water and soap bubbles in the Jacuzzi. We were there all day. It was very much fun. On the same night we went to El Cristo de las Noas with Dra. Lilia, Sra. Luz Maria, Sra. Lorena, Srta. Yessica, Andrea and Carlos. It is a very big and tall statue of Christ. It is very beautiful. It is the second tallest statue of Christ in the world, next to the one in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Andrea, Carlos and me were playing outside the church. The Cristo de las Noas and the church are in a hill called Cerro de las Noas. From there we can see the view of three cities, Torreon, Gomez Palacio and Lerdo. It’s very nice.
On Saturday 14th April, amma made pongal, sambar, vadai, and payasam for the Tamil New Year. When I got up on that day, amma made me to go first to a mirror, which was decorated with jewels. The food should not be tasted while you are preparing it. We prayed and then ate. The food was very tasty. We also went to Andrea’s house on Sunday because it was Sra. Lorena’s birthday. From the 9th of April we started training basket ball again. I liked this vacation.
