As always, we come back to school in September. We will have to get up and go to bed earlier, do homework and get used to new timetables, being in a bad mood and so on. But it is not all bad since the chilly weather is coming, we will see old friends and make new ones, new books… A new academic year full of surprises and new discoveries is waiting for us.

Exchange Salamanca-Logroño

Last weekend the first part of the exchange between Maristas School of Salamanca and Los Boscos Choir took place. On Friday, the boys and girls from Salamanca arrived in Logroño with their teacher Carmen González to participate with us in one of our rehearsals. On that meeting both groups did warm up exercises, sang together and finished up playing a storm sound. The experience was very interesting for both groups but not everything was work, in the afternoon the girls of 2º and 3º of Secondary went with the boys from Salamanca to know Logroño. All of them had heard of Laurel Street, so it was a must and we ended the evening having dinner at “La Laurel’’ and nearby. The weekend went very fast...

For almost two hours, the audience could enjoy the different dances and songs that both groups performed. Both Corazones Solidarios and Los Boscos Choir made a great effort so as everything went on the best possible way and this was seen in the end when after the last song the audience stood up to clap more warmly to those who were on stage. The pictures haven’t got the expected quality but the light conditions of the stage and the visual effects of the performance made us difficult to take high quality photographs. Anyway here...

PEACE DAY CELEBRATION

One more year, children in infantile and primary school met to celebrate the peace day. This time, teachers of both sections developed a pretty programme of activities ending with the recording of an original videoclip. First we met at the theater and the school chapel with poetries, peace doves and a Power-Point presentation that teacher Teresa had prepared. When it finished, all students went to the playground to make a very special activity, recording a video clip of the famous song Imagine by John Lennon. We wanted to be different, and we incorporated our version, the sign language, the language of the deaf people. And it was surprising to find in the silence, the word that made...
