My superhero. "El CJRISTIAN"
This man on the left is my super hero. His name is "EL CJRISTIAN" and he is a "macarra". But he is not a normal macarra, because the "macarras" of all the world try to steal and hit the other children, but this "macarra" is different since he was a little child. He has superpowers to fly and throw explosive joints to the bad "macarras". His cap has the ability to hear all the children that need help because a macarra is bullying him. His hearing ability depends on how much his cap is pointing to the sky. The cross that he wears across his chest gives off electric rays. Then the bat he has in his left hand has incredible strength. The chain in his right hand can kill a man in a second.
His supermission is to save and look after all the poor children that are frightened of the bad "macarras".

Guernica (by carlos and jaime)
Between 1901 and 1904 Picasso lived in Barcelona, Madrid and Paris, his painting get into the movement denominated blue period, which has a very strong influence of symbolism. In the spring of 1904, Picasso decided to move definitely to Paris. In 1935 he had a daughter called Maya with his lover Marie-Therese because she was married with Olga Koklova, and in 1936 the two women decided to share him with a third woman called Dora Maar.
The beginning of the Spanish civil war made him to have an stronger politician conscience, and because of that he painted one of the most famous paintings in the world called Gernika.
The Gernika is based in the bombs that were thrown in the gernika town which is located in Pais Vasco (Spain). There are a lot of pictures in the gernika but Picasso didn’t want to explain them. First an impetuous wind that blows from right to left push the character from right to left in the picture. A woman hunted in fire, and putting his hands up frightened. Two more girls jumping into the middle of the tragedy, pushed by a destiny of madness. A horse, whose body has been made by a collage, and stabbed by a lance and she is shouting. Above there are a lamp that shows the disaster of the progress in that time. In the floor there is a man that hold in his hands a broken sword and a flower. The impassibility of the bull show us a figure always treated as a murdered but also like a victim. And finally a woman in the floor with a child. The child symbolism show us the future died in her hands.

London again!!
The last saturday i went to London again but this time it wasn't a cultural excursion, and
instead of that we went to see Madame Tussauds museum, and they gave us an hour to go shopping.
Madame Tussaud was very good because, in spite of i had been 3 more times there, but i went with new people and i had as fun time.
Then in the shopping time i only could buy a quiksilver jumper because we didnt have enough time to buy other things, because i dont know where the shops were in London, so when i went to Abercrombie and Fitch shop there was a very large queue and it was very late so i wentback to the bus.
That was my saturdays day.

Return to London
that i had yesterday!
First of all we took the bus to arrive to London, there i fell asleep very early because i was very tired and my music is very relaxing, so i slept very well!
When we arrived in London we had a tour, which was about a famous plague that ocurred in London in 1665, a fire in London that started in a bakery in 1666, and a ship called HMS Belfast.
I think that the tour wasn't so boring than it could be because of the guide. She was so funny because she was spitting all the time and we laughed very much.
Then the tour arround the ship was interesting because some of the things on display looked very real, but on the other hand some didn't.
Finally we got back to the bus and i slept again.

A normal weekend!
The next day, Saturday, we had an excursion to Cambridge, and you an see a building of Cambridge in the left, and we were very happy because we could eat normal food, then we went on shopping and i bought a jumper for a friend in Spain that asked me for a jumper of Cambridge University. Then we went and bought some shoes and saw some shops and then we went to the bus again, but we had to wait a lot of time because a turkish boy get lost and he went to the police. The police brought him to the bus safely. After that we arrived at the school and we had dinner, (bad, like all the days), and then we had a ''disco'' but you cant really called it a disco, because it was like a children party. The day finished with the ''disco''.
And finally we get into sunday, it was suppose to be a relaxing day, but it wasnt, because i did a lot of exercise playing football for two hours, tennis for 1 hour and a half, and also i was in the swimigpool for 1hour and a half.
This was my last weekend.

a bad day
the Tower of London. First of all we did a tour around a part of London. There was a guide who talked to us about some monuments and buildings, and some ghosts that always appear in those places. I think it was a boring tour. Then we went to visit the Tower of London, but before that we had lunch, and that was a terrible part of the day because i went to buy some food from a shop and a teacher shouted at me and lectured me about not being able to buy stuff. After that we went to visit the tower as i said before, and i think it was a little boring because i dont like learning about the war and things like that.
But the worse thing of the day is that it rained ALL day, without stopping, and all my clothes got wet.
So it is a day to forget.
