ANIMAL FARM

                                                   
Yesterday afternoon we went to see a theatre play: ANIMAL FARM by George Orwell. You will be able to read some reviews soon.

ANIMAL FARM

The title of this play is Animal Farm and the author is George Orwell.

The plot is about the revolution of the animals who live in a farm called Manor Farm. They get free from the humans, and when the animals take control of the farm, they start having many problems and they do the same things as humans used to do.

The actors portray the main characters very well. The play didn’t fulfill my expectations because I thought that there would be many characters, and there were only four people, and I thought that they would change the scence and they didn’t.

My best character is the horse because it was very funny and it made strange faces.

My memorable scene is when Napoleon gets drunk, and in the commandments drinking was forbidden.

It made me laugh. Napoleon, the pig did it very well.

I didn’t like it because there were few characters, they didn’t change the scence and the songs were repetitive.

I suggest the reader not to see the play because I think that he/she will not like it.

 ANIMAL FARM

This story is about animals that they want to be like the humans and they make a farm before the second revolution. The author is George Orwell.

The actors were perfect. I like all of them a lot but the best was the horse. He never moved and he was always making strange things with the face.

One scene that I liked was when the pig and the sheep were changing the rules and the horse and the goat didn’t know what was happening. I liked it because it was funny

I liked the play because the story was interesting and I liked the actors too but I think that this was for children .

BRITISH FESTIVALS

As you know, we have been talking about British festivals in class lately. Here is a summary of the main ones that we have discussed:

Halloween: 31^st October

Halloween started in Britain over two thousand years ago as a Celtic festival. Over the years it has spread to other countries, in particular the USA. People celebrate Halloween by wearing fancy dress and going trick-or-treating. People also have Halloween parties, where they play games such as ‘apple bobbing’ and ‘doughnut on a string’ . People also talk about scary stories and traditions, for example, Bloody Mary ( who appears in the bathroom mirror after you say her name three times)

Bonfire Night: 5^th November

British people celebrate bonfire night every year to remember the failure of the ‘Gunpowder Plot’. In 1605, a man called Guy Fawkes and his friends wanted to kill the King of England and the government. They planned to do this by blowing up the Houses of Parliament. They built a tunnel underneath the houses of Parliament and filled it with gunpowder. Someone wrote a letter to a friend who worked in the Houses of Parliament, warning them to stay away. The King saw this letter and Guy Fawkes was caught and executed before he could do anything. This failure is celebrated by making bonfires and putting a ‘Guy’ on top to burn. There are also fireworks and people eat baked potatoes, sausages and toffee apples.

Remembrance Day: 11^th November               

Remembrance Day is a day in which the whole country remembers and shows their respects to soldiers who have died whilst fighting for their country. It started after the First World War, which ended ‘on the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month’. Every year, at 11AM there is two minutes silence everywhere- schools, offices, shops etc. People also wear paper poppies to show their respect and there are special church services and events at memorials in each town.

Christmas: 25^th December

In Britain, Christmas celebrations start on Christmas eve ( 24^th December) with a midnight church service. Children put out mince pies and a glass of sherry for ‘Father Christmas’ and when they wake up on Christmas morning, the food has gone and been replaced by presents. There is a big meal at lunchtime, with turkey and roast potatoes. For desert people have Christmas pudding, which is set alight. People also pull crackers, which are made of paper and contain a present, a paper crown and a joke. In Britain, Christmas day is the main day- Kings day is not celebrated- infact it is often the day people have to go back to work!

New Year’s Eve:  31^st December

New Year’s Eve is usually celebrated with a big party and fireworks. After the clock strikes midnight, everyone crosses their arms over themselves and holds hands with their neighbours and they sing ‘Auld Lang Syne’. People also make ‘New Year’s Resolutions’, which is something they intend to do in the coming year. For example, my new year’s resolution is to learn Spanish.

April Fool’s Day: 1^st April

This is a day in which people play practical jokes and hoaxes on each other. However, the joke has to be done by twelve ‘o’clock, otherwise the person playing the joke is the fool.

Shrove Tuesday

This is known as ‘pancake day’ and takes place the day before Lent starts. Families make pancakes, in order to use up all the sugar before the forty days of Lent. Traditionally, people have lemon and sugar with their pancakes.

Easter

Easter in the United Kingdom is celebrated by giving chocolate eggs to children. There is a family lunch, with roast lamb. For dessert there is a special cake called Simnel cake, which is a fruit cake with a layer of marzipan inside and on top.

3.- Hello Vedruna Class

the diamond Jubilee is when a monarch has reigned over us 60 years. There has only been one monarch who has had a diamond Jubilee Queen Victoria

Queen Elizabeth 2nd was crowned in 1953 and she is still ruling in 2012. We think this is a very big achievement. Hundreds of people across the United kingdom have been holding street parties to celebrate this historic event.

We celebrated the day by doing several dances such as the Gay Gordon's and the twist. We sang the British national anthem god save the Queen and made our crowns We had a red white and blue snack which included vanilla ice cream, Strawberry or Raspberry sauce and Blueberries. We didn't have to wear our school uniform instead we got to wear red white and blue clothing to match the colour of our flag.

We have some questions for you

Do you have a king or Queen in Spain?

If you have a monarch how long has it ruled?

what is her/his name?

from Kaitlyn, Connor, Rory, Travis, Logan

4.- Hello Vedruna Class

  we would like to tell you about the weather in Scotland .In Scotland the weather can be very dull but over the last few weeks it has been very warm.

 In Spring it can be sunny but cold.All the nice flowers and trees start to grow in the Spring. Sometimes there are baby cows, lambs and calves that are born in the Spring.

  In Summer it can be warm so you need to put lots of sun cream on. The good thing about Summer is that you can play at the beach and play during the Summer holidays.

  In Autumn it can be drizzly and windy sometimes we get red, orange and yellow leaves.

When it is drizzly you can stay snug inside with the fire on (or heating).

   In winter it can be very snowy hear like  last year. sometimes it can come down with hailstones which are frozen pieces of snow and they can be very sore when they hit you.slush is very soggy snow. 

We have got some questions we would like to ask you:

1.Have you ever seen snow?

2.What is the highest tempruter you have ever had?

3. Would you ever like it to snow in your country?

  From Lindsay, Anya, Ailsa and Lauren.
