PROPOSAL (Rubbish removal/improve recycling)

It is essential to aware children of the importance of recycling. From school we, as teachers, must teach them the rule of the 3 "Rs": Reuse, Reduce and Recycle, by doing artcrafts with used materials such as plastic containers, bottles, paper, cardboard, old clothes, ... so they realize about how useful used stuff can be.

Outings to recycling plants can be very useful too, surely they will transmit all these apprenticeship to their families.

From home we can separate rubbish and also consume more fresh products to avoid using so many wrappings and packages from prepared food.

From the town hall, or local authorities, more campaigns to encourage people to recycle can be done by facilitating plastic bags or other types of containers to separate rubbish.

The existing dumpsters should be replaced by those underground that take less place outside and have a bigger capacity and from which the process of removing rubbish is easier.

                   POEM

Sorry husband, sorry son,

sorry daughter for what I've done

I have renounced to all

'cause I have fallen in love.

Who is the fortunate?

Who is the man?

It is so literate...

It's the C1.

Hello partners and teacher, this is my little Xmas present to all of you. Enjoy the music. I wish you a new year full of joy and love. HAPPY XMAS!!

PAINTINGS

Do you remember the painting I talked about in our outing to the paintings exhibition at Fábrica del Pilar? Well, I have a photo of it, but I am unable to stick it on the blog. I have been trying to put the photo for more than half an hour and now I am "de los nervios". So I am going to say what I wanted to say but relying on your memory and if I am able to stick it later on, or in days coming I promise I will do.

Well, I have decided to comment on it again (taking advantage of having a photo of it) since I feel I couldn't express myself well whether for the improvised manner in which we did it or for Emilio's video camera. So let me give my view on the painting. 

At first sight it can appear disgusting because all this blood on her mouth and you can think of a fighter of wrestling or even a teenager coming out from a horror movie but if you look at the painting from another perspective you can see that it is really meaningful and shows more than physical pain.

After your attention has been grasped for the red stain, your eyes move towards the penetrating blue eyes and if you look at them in detail you can see tears coming out from them and they invite you to look deep inside.

The strokes are made with strength, showing fury, impotence and pain.

In sum, all this mix of penetrating colours, firm strokes, shades, lights and shapes talk by themselves and I think that the picture itself is a censure and a denial to gender violence.

By the way, the awarding of the contest will be given on the 16th of December, it will be nice if one of the paintings we chose is the winner, don't you think so?
