A Trip to the SCIENCE MUSEUM

VISITING THE SCIENCE MUSEUM IN VALLADOLID

Written by 3ºA students in cooperative writing

On Thursday, February 22 2018 the Bilingual groups of 3ºESO went on a trip to Valladolid with our Science teacher Ignacio de Blas to visit the Science Museum.

There were several remarkable exhibitions there.

Off we go!

NUTRITION, VITAL IMPULSE

The first thing we saw was a video about food in the different periods of history. There was a puzzle which showed the percentage of water in some foods and in the human body. You could also smell different foods and try to guess what each one was. Besides, there were some computers showing the typical dishes of some countries, as well as information about the calories and nutrients in each food. Playing with interactive games, we also learnt about the food pyramid and the diseases we can get if we don’t have a proper diet.

THE TREASURES OF TUTANKHAMUN

In 1928 Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings. This archaeologist found the pharaoh’s personal objects by digging a hole in the wall of the burial chamber.

 

 THE PLANETARIUM: Energy for Life

In the Planetarium, we saw an audiovisual presentation in English about renewable and non-renewable energies and the impact they cause. The resources have evolved from the fire mainly used in pre-history to fossil fuels and coal used nowadays. These resources can cause a severe harm in the environment, producing global warming and the greenhouse effect. Therefore, we need to find new renewable energies such as wind power.

Our trip to Ireland

OUR TRIP TO DUBLIN (IRELAND) (By the students in class 4ºB)

OFF WE GO! We took the bus in the roundabout behind our school and went to Santander’s airport, which is very small if we compare it to Madrid’s or Dublin’s ones. It was my first flight so I was nervous and scared. Now, after flying twice, I believe it’s the safest mean of transport. When we arrived at Dublin airport, we took a bus to the shopping center where our host families picked us up. (Tomás Carretero)

OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD We lived in the outskirt of Dublin. The ones who lived in the same area used to go out together, although there weren’t many shops or people in the streets. It was near the sea and very beautiful because of the green parks and all the nature around. It was so exciting that a professional footballer from the national team lived next door. (Álvaro García)

THE IRISH FAMILIES were generally friendly and responsible but I can’t say the same about mine. We only talked to them at dinner time, to improve our pronunciation. The main conversational topic was how to move around in Dublin. They prepared our packed lunch and then we had dinner with them. Our family was formed by the parents, two daughters and a dog, which we never got to see. (Paula Antonio)

THE SCHOOL we went to in Dublin was called Apollo. The first time there, they gave us a test to divide us into two groups. We had classes from 9:00 to 10:30, then a break and again from 11:00 to 12:30. We had different teachers in each class. We mainly talked about what we thought of the past and we played games. (Daniel Morrondo)

DUBLIN is the capital of Ireland and a very large city with a population of about 1,900,000 people. It was founded by the Vikings but it became Ireland’s principal city following the Norman invasion. Places of interest include the statue of Mollie Mallone and the Spike, which is an enormous needle in O’Connell street. Irish culture is very different to ours. Their colour is green. They also have traditional music and dancing. (Patricia Pastor)

                 

CONCLUSION I’d recommend and repeat myself this trip because you learn a lot about the culture and the city during the staying with the families. They mainly teach you colloquial expressions which we don’t usually learn in class. (Lara Mayoral)
