Mexico, land of colours

I have always wanted to visit Mexico because it is one of the most popular destinations in the world and it looks attractive to me.

Mexico is in Centre America and it is best known for its green landscapes and its magnificient ancient cultures. Colours, clothes and food are also amazing. That is why a lot of tourists can´t help visiting Mexico. Actually, millions of them visit the country every year. People of all ages can have a great time there. It has got beautiful beaches, with clear blue waters that reflect the spectacular places that you can find by the seashore. Mexico City, its capital, is also astonishing. It has got a lot of inhabitants, the people are very friendly there. They have lots of customs and they live them deeply. Take the Day of the Dead for example. It is celebrated on November 2nd or All Souls Day. 

This celebration is so special for this culture that they celebrate it with dances, songs or with art. They even spend a whole night next to their relatives' tombs or graves in the cemetery and have dinner with them.

I know Mexico is quite a bit far away and that it must not be very cheap to get a flight to go there but, still I hope I can visit the country one day, together with my sister and my whole family. That is one of my dreams.

My Experience, my new school

 Sometimes I think I am in my old school, but when I look at my new classmates, it´s different. The first day is so strange, you are the new one, and you must make some friends, or you may be alone for the rest of the year.

The first image, is quite different, but you must react, you must interact, ask some people, and make some new friends, open your heart wide open and trust the new people around you. That does not mean you must forget your former mates and teachers. I think it's important to keep in contact with them, at least with the few ones you once felt comfortable with. Reality, however, is very clear... it's not easy to become the new one but. ... who tells you there are not more of us, new boys and girls, around?

On the other hand, I must say my new teachers are very friendly, and I feel very comfortable in their lessons. All books are very similar to 4 of E.S.O, but when I opened my Math´s book, I got very scared, eventually it was not that horrible. And then it is Philosophy, it´s quite a bit strange but I like it, and it´s the same in ICT.

My favorite class is Biology, most of my personal questions are about the human race, it is something that calls my attention very much and I like that.

Finally, it is  Chemistry, deep in my mind I am very worried, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nytrogen, Ammonia NH3..... and everything that surrounds us, I am having my first exam very soon but it seems to me I can´t reach everything and I'm afraid my final mark will depend on Ternary Compounds, but it´s all right, I just need to work hard and revise my notes from last year. 

CMI Graduation of G'00

This is my last post as a CMI student, and I dedicate this post to our graduation class. This day was celebrated last Thursday, it was so exciting and unforgetable. We cried a lot, because it was the last ceremony in our school and now we are going another way, we are saying GOODBYE, however this is not our last word.

The main part of the ceremony was held in the church, and after that we went to school, and this was the special moment, we walked up the stairs with our teachers and, they put the graduation band over our shoulders. Read more about it in CMI News.

12 ways to say `I Love You´

Love is the weirdest feeling, because it is kind of abstract art...

 ... so difficult to say I Like You or I Love You. 

... as if this feeling had two different faces,... 

Then, it is up to you to decide...

The quotes above are some pearls you will find in this article. Our reporter and present CMI News Editor tries within this post to dive deep into emotions and holds there are infinite ways to express them. Get into our Opinion page.
We are really looking forward to reading an extended second article, Geo!

Culture Week at CMI, Come in!

Tomorrow we are starting our culture week!!!

Every year CMI celebrates a culture week, which is a special celebration or event for us all. This event was born over ten years ago.

The culture week is going to be held in June this year sharing part of its calendar with the Science Exhibition at school. During the next week students will participate in a lot of competitions, such as; drawing posters for school, writing stories, and the kids in primary have created short comics or even recorded short films and interviews.

Last year, the topic was Light because 2015 was the Year of Light. I really liked that topic, but this year the main topic is the World of Cervantes and the other character is Shakespeare.

In addition, ESO students have done their best to sing their favourite songs, because next Tuesday afternoon a great show will be held: Let's Sing 3 - Sports Edition  where the best songs, which have passed into the Finals, will be tuned and shown in one of the funniest venues you can ever attend. Most teachers also dare to record a song and then students must find out whose song each one is.

Finally, on Friday morning, around midday, lots of awards will be delivered to recognise and acknowledge students´ efforts on different assigments and languages as for example: theatre, short stories, poetry, rap, photography, narrative essay, posters, etc. and, of course, Let's Sing awards, the most expected awards for ESO. They are my favourite because every single student in ESO at CMI sings one song, and after the English and Music teachers have graded them, a special jury must make a decision on finalists and winners in both categories 1/2 ESO and 3/4 ESO.

This is my favorite festival because it seems to me that everybody in school enjoys a great deal, even though I am also very excited and nervous for this year, because we, 4th ESO, organize the DIVERJOCS, which is another core  activity at CMI Culture Week, I think this is a wonderful traditional celebration at CMI that most students will never forget.

Fallas: Time for Fun and Creativity

¡Sketch of Falla 2016!

The start of fallas is right here, new llibret, new monument, new students, new teachers and a new challenge.

“The Llibret”:

New year, new llibret! This year students in Arts are working also hard, really hard, in this new llibret. Lots of sections in there can be found such as Apps on Mobile Technology or Adverts, which have helped to afford a new and beautiful Llibret for the current year.

One of the favourite sections will always be Theatre because every year students of 1st of ESO perform an incredible open-air play, which is fascinating.

To end with, the Letter to Fallera Mayor, this year is going to Carla González from 3rd of Primary and the new President, who is in the same class as Carla's, ...so we have managed to get a special interview to find out about her opinion and reactions. Click into CMI News Section to know more.

Fallas coming soon!

The start of fallas is four weeks ahead, and this year is special because this year Generation 2000 will build an amazing monument at Maria Inmaculada School. The topic of this year is Olympic Games and Nutrition. 

Yes this may not seem a good matter but I like it, and in addition the Technology crew are working really hard.

According to the dictionary, Fallas is a synonym of fire in combination with wood and cardboard. Fallas is the most important celebration in Valencia, this celebration deals with well known characters from the current political and social scene, such as athletes, politicians, celebreties, etc. 

This celebration which was created in 1870, has played an important role at CMI so far and it is bound to go on for many years.
Soon an extended article will be published with further details in our CMI News section.
