GINGERBREAD MEN

Gingerbread cookies are popular baked cookies formed out of gingerbread dough (pasta de pan de jengibre); this cookies are commonly associated with the Christmas holiday, and they are often formed into holiday shapes, gingerbread men or gingerbread houses. Although there are several variations on the recipe, classic gingerbread cookies have a distinct, rich flavor of ginger and cinnamon. This recipe is very easy to follow and delicious!

-          126 gr of brown sugar (azúcar moreno)

-          3/4 teaspoons (cucharaditas) of bicarbonate of soda (bicarbonato sódico)

-          1/2 teaspoons of nutmeg (nuez moscada)

-          180 gr of butter

-          5/6 teaspoons of honey or molasses (miel o melaza)

-          2 teaspoons of cinnamon (canela)

3.      Beat (batir) the egg and add to the mixture. Put the mixture in the fridge and leave it there for 20 minutes.

Visiting the Malaga airport and the Aviation Museum

Yesterday, a group of 4th ESO students, together with their teachers, went out of the classroom to learn a bit about the Malaga airport and the history of aviation while they practised English.

Students in the E and G groups had the chance to put their English skills to the test by doing interviews to travellers at Malaga airport. And they did it with flying colours!

Besides, we took an imaginary flight from Malaga to London Gatwick. An Aena guide led us through all the steps preceding takeoff, as well as those following landing.

Meanwhile, students from the A group were visiting the Aviation Museum. Here, they could hop on a plane and see a pilot's cockpit.

It was a great day! We learnt interesting facts about aviation and the Malaga airport. For example, did you know it takes its code - AGP - from the Roman name of the city, Agripina?

a) Share with us any interesting information you learned in the trip, and

b) leave your opinion about the experience.

Thanks, your comments will be of great use for future experiences.

WRISTBANDS FOR GOOD CAUSES!!!

4ºESO-A has designed different wristbands to help good causes. They fight against the Ebola, ELA,

domestic violence and the illiteracy in Africa. They have created a slogan and have chosen the

best colour for their wristband. The aim is to collect money for scientific investigations and

help those people who really need it.

Have you ever collaborated with NGO (non-profit organization)? Do you ever give money to

charity? Have you ever had a wristband to help a good cause?
