Concert of traditional Galician music

CONCERT OF GALICIAN TRADITIONAL INSTRUMENTS
AT OUR SCHOOL

The project started last year with a talk and an exhibition of a traditional Galician instrument: the “zanfoña”.
This year the students worked on the different kinds of instruments and did 4 presentations adding videos with the sounds of these instruments that you can see and hear in this blog.
The students have also been making some traditional instruments made of wood. Very soon you will be able to see in this blog drawings of traditional instruments done by the students.
Last but not least at the end of April there was a concert of traditional music at the school, where the students could participate singing, clapping and even trying to play the instruments. You can see the photos and videos of this event in this article.

Visit to the Netherlands by Spanish students

VISIT TO THE NETHERLANDS BY THE SPANISH STUDENTS
6 – 12 APRIL 2010

My impression about the exchange with Holland is undoubtedly very good.
First, I think that it was a very good idea to chat with the Dutch people and choose our partner and avoid having to live with a person that we don't like.
The teachers and the students had an excursion each day, in Holland and in Spain, and after showing us the most beautiful sights of each city they left us alone one hour or two to do what we wanted, something I think it's great. It would be boring if we had to stay always with the teachers.
I loved the idea to visit another country, Belgium.
The Dutch high school is beautiful and the teachers very nice, and also the restaurant where we ate the last day is fantastic.
And last but not least, Holland is wonderful, we had a lot of luck because we didn't see the rain, we had always sunny days.
I will never forget this exchange.

Well,I think this exchange was a really interesting trip because I met really different peolpe ,and now I love holland ,it is a really different country from Spain: the customs,the houses, the different way of life… While we go by car in Spain, they go by bike.
The group of Spanish people were really united and we took care of each other.
It was a really good experience and I look forward to repeating it.

Hello!!
This exchange was very special for me because it was the first I did.
The visits in Holland were beautiful but for my taste there were a lot of museums about paintings.
One of the things I liked most was the silence that there was at night because there were no cars, and I think it's really fun to ride a bike with Laura and our partners, we were almost always together with the bike when we went out at night .At first it was very difficult to control the bike but then we moved all the way laughing and talking.
Joost's familyy was very pleasent and nice.
In this exchange I met a lot of new friends, very good friends, i think that when you spend a lot of time with them they become part of you.
In the future if I can, I´ll repeat it again and come back to Holland!!
