It also mentions some tips of how to protect ourselves from it. Great video Miss Blanca thank you for sending it.

Casual Day was an excellent opportunity to help people in need.
Patrulla San Jorge collected money inside and outside the school and students brought warming clothes for poor people living in the highlands of Peru. As we all know winter time in aggressive with people in the highlands were the temperature is very low. Adults and children die every year because they have no resources to protect themselves from the cold.

On this day, students left their uniforms at home and attended to school wearing casual clothes to represent that they were here to help giving their clothes to people in need.
This activity taught our students that giving feels better than receiving, that they can make a change helping other, and that spending a little of their time to help is rewarding.
Thank St. George's College!

What an amazing way to encourage students to work as a team!!
Four houses were present in this event: Pegasus, Minotaur, Griffin and Fenix.
The crowds were cheering loudly; the participants were doing their best; parents, relatives, students and friends were supporting their teams; and the school was all decorated for the event.
It was a wonderful party the one we got on that day. We had many competitions having students and families involved. We all shared a great time together. We all felt very attached as a big family.
At the end of the day Fenix house won, but we all felt rewarded with this memorable experience.

I found an excellent web site to practise grammar online.
In this ocasion we have 'Used to' or 'use to' vs 'would', I am teaching my students their use, form and function.
Surfing on internet I found the information they just needed. Here a summary with examples and at the end some dynamic online exercises.
'Used to' or 'use to' vs 'would'
1) If we say something used to happen we are talking about repeated events and actions in the past, usually things that happened a long time ago and are now finished.
To express this we can use either used to or would.
· When I was young I used to play with my dolls. = When I was young I would play with my dolls.
Of course I no longer play with dolls!
· We used to go out a lot in the summer. (Implies that we no longer go out much)
2) If you want to talk about repeated states or habits in the past, you must use used to, you cannot use would:
· My dog used to bark at cats.
· I used to smoke.
· I used to be an administrative assistant.
· I used to live in England.
You should use 'use to' without a d in sentences when it follows 'did' or 'didn't' (don't worry too much about this because lots of people get it wrong).
3) The question form is ‘Did you use to…?'. When asking a closed question you put did/didn't in front of the subject followed by use to, you cannot use would.
· Did you use to go out with my sister?
· Did they use to own the company?
· Didn't we use to go to the same school?
Also when asking questions about states in the past you cannot use would.
· What sort of things did you use to like when you were young?
4) In the negative you cannot use would without a change in meaning.
· I didn't use to play with my dolls.
If I said I wouldn't play with my dolls. It would mean I refused to play with my dolls.
· We didn't use to go out much in the winter months.
If I said we wouldn't go out much. It would mean we refused to go out much.
Note - The general rule is when there is did or didn't in the sentence, we say use to (without d) when there is no did or didn't in the sentence, we say used to (with d).

In the digital world there is place where stories are created by students of different schools around the planet.
Thanks to the well-known 1001 Flat Tales Project, students around the world have the oppotunity to be authors of very interesting stories. Their schools register in the WIKI and students are asigned a partner.
The objective of this project is to let students publish their stories and let their partners to check it (peer correction work), they will also write comments and will give some suggestions to improve their partner's work. Year 9 students had the opportunity to be involved in this project.
We started a week ago and we are working on our stories. We are very happy to get in touch with people around the world, read their stories and learn a little bit more about their culture.
