| Students preparing the Halloween decoration |
Halloween in my school
Last October 31st it was Halloween and at school, on Friday that week we celebrated it . A lot of students prepared this feast with ornaments and posters with typical sentences on the celebration. There was also a very beautiful and original pumpkin contest, a scary cemetery and many people had the chance to make up their faces in a makeup workshop organized through the Extracurricular Activities Department.
I liked this activity a lot because I had never done anything on Halloween before and I think everyone has learnt much about this custom.
In conclusion, I think this experience has been very positive and enlightening for everybody. Everything was awesome so I hope it happens again in future.

This year, at school, we have celebrated Halloween. We made a scary cemetery and a Jack-o-lantern exhibition. We also decorated all the corridors and the main hall. It was great! I enjoyed and liked it very much.

The best of Halloween was the spooky cemetery. There were a lot of ghosts and screams. This Halloween was fantastic.
Antonio-2ºC-ESO
This year we celebrated Halloween at school. Halloween is not a Spanish festivity but I like it. We made a cemetery and decorated the whole school. We had a Jack-o-lantern competition. I liked the decoration very much!

I think it has been a perfect Halloween celebration. Next year we should have more of the same.

I liked that morning very much because everything was so well done and everybody had so much fun. I hope we organize it again next year.

Halloween has been perfect this year: what I did not like was the small place in which the cemetery was located.

In my opinion, the way we have celebrated Halloween has been great, moreover, we have learnt a lot about this festivity and specific vocabulary.

This Halloween has been fantastic at school: the drawings, the posters, the cemetery, the scary music, the smoke, even the costumes that somebody brought. It was so great!

First of all, I would like to say that Halloween should not be celebrated in Spain because it is a British or American or whatever festivity. Nevertheless, I could say that everything was very good –included the decoration- and we learnt a lot about this feast and its vocabulary.
Miguel-1ºA-Bach
I have never experienced a Halloween like this before. Everything was perfect and many students helped with the decorating.

Mañana, 16 de diciembre se celebra el Día de la Lectura en Andalucía .Este día institucionalizado no tiene la función de felicitarnos por vivir en una sociedad que convive con la lectura, sino como aún el Primero de mayo, o el Día de la paz y la no violencia y tantos otros, tiene un valor reivindicativo. Eso es al menos lo que se desprende de los manifiestos y los elogios que aparecen estos días. Existe, sin embargo, una pequeña diferencia semántica. Se reivindica algo a lo que se cree tener derecho, pero aún no se posee, como el derecho al trabajo o a la paz.;s i bien la lectura y los libros no los tenemos con nosotros, o al menos no todo el mundo o en la medida en que debieran, y no somos conscientes de que deben formar parte de nuestra vida, no tenemos que exigirlos, simplemente están ahí, esperándonos, como en la novela de Ruiz Zafón. Por lo tanto, no hay necesidad de reivindicar nada, sino simplemente usarlo, hacer de la lectura algo tan cotidiano como un paseo, una conversación o un programa de televisión. Obviamente exige un esfuerzo mayor porque se requiere atención, pero también la recompensa es mayor. La satisfacción que produce en el ánimo un buen poema o las emociones que hace aflorar una novela, son más perdurables. Por otro lado, si nos ceñimos al aspecto puramente pragmático, ya lo refirió Vargas Llosa en su discurso de recepción del Premio Nobel, la lectura, y concretamente la literatura es tan poderosa, como la censura en los regímenes totalitarios. De ello se deduce su poder de formar, de educar y de crear ciudadanos con capacidad crítica y con valores democráticos capaces de enfrentarse a la más rigurosa intolerancia. Por ello la lectura no sólo es poderosa, sino necesaria para la evolución de las sociedades y de sus ciudadanos.
