Our school field

This report is to know and improve the school field but first I had to interview with my school mates to know specifically what we had to improve.

The good points are:

. It has a barbecue where we protect us from thee rain.

. It´s only ours because the school doesn´t rent it as other schools.

. It has a vestry to dress up for a match or something else.

The bad points are the ideas we have to improve this field.

. There is no kiosk to buy something to drink after training.

. It´s very little and because of that the school can´t do local competitions.

. There are no showers.´

As we know, they are some things to add and improve for beyond activities, but, in fact, is a good place for the students of the school.

Diary Entry

25 May, 2012

Today was a unique day for me because this day I had to play which Pucara against my favourite rivals who were Lomas Athletic Club, San Albano and SIC. Although the weather was horrible because I was freezing, there was more mud than grassin the fields because it was a rainy day but, in fact, I didn´t want to miss it. All my club mates were there but not in the same team. However, I think that this day was completely fascinating.

The red pineapple of DOOM

The Red Pineapple of DOOM



Many years ago, at Caligula’s 50th Birthday, a mysterious shadow left a pineapple, as red as blood, with these words imprinted “For the most gruesome of them all”. Three gods wished it: Ares, Simus and Osamus. A furious battle between them was followed next. Mortals from all over the world joined them making the first armies of history, and making the 3 gods, the first commanders. Bloody battles all over the world started the first war of all time. The war lasted decades and took the lifes of many mortals. At the end, the army commanded by Ares left triumphant, making him the God of War. When he went to claim his reward, the pineapple rot as soon as he touched it. The mysterious shadow left laughing. He caused a war, with just a pineapple. That’s why, where there’s a reason to fight, and there’s men, there’s war.
