What's in the jar?

All the members of the project together

--

"What's in the jar?" was a charity project created by the 4ºB and D bilingüal group. If you keep reading, here you will find how this enormous project was developed just from a little idea.

Let's move to the beginning. 2 months ago more or less our English teacher told us to investigate one charity from the United Kingdom and bring a little summary about what it does to help people in need. For our surprise, there was a very big range of charities, and people brought many charities' names and none of them were the same.

Afterwards, she made us create an event in groups in which you had to promote one of the charities with a project to get money for it. All of the groups had brilliant ideas, but, at last, only "what's in the jar?" stayed. It consisted in guessing the exact number of candies a jar contains paying 1€ in order to win them and all the money we got was for Cáritas.

Then, we had to write a formal letter for the principal teacher in order to set up all the stuff we had in mind. We created a committe and we had a meeting with him, and he gave us the permission we needed.

Meanwhile, the students that were not in the committe had another task. For example, one of the students had to create the posters we were going to stamp all over the school. He did a wonderful job I must say.

We continued working on the project, and we advertised it everywhere (even in Twitter). We promoted the hastag #GuessItAndGetIt.

Finally, everything was ready. The Cáritas representative came to the event. He was excited because pupils that were only 16 organised this huge project in order to help people that couldn't pay their electricity bills.

The bell rang, and more and more people started beting the number of sweets the jar had. Here you can see some pictures of the day.

We raised more than €100! And the number of sweets was 877. The winner was Paula Ruiz, from 4ºA, and she shared them with lots of people.

Well, that's all. I hope you have enjoyed it and don't forget to comment on this entry and have a look at my Instagram. ;)

See you and have a good day!

My best ability

One of my best abilities is running.

I discovered this ability when I was really young, because my father loved athletics and he saw I was that good really soon. He wanted me to be in a club, but my mother told to him "no", because I was too young to start competing.

Anyway, I must say that I really enjoy it. I feel as if I was a cheetat (maybe I'm exagerating, but it's true, I feel that!). Although I have to train a lot to have this feeling, it's not a problem.

By the way, I don't really think that I would dedicate my life to that, because it's not well paid and because I prefer another kind of job instead. I would leave this as a hobby maybe, I don't know.

To finish with, I can only say running is amazing!

What was the best day I had in Christmas?

I thought about writing this text before, but I wasn't sure of what I was going to write about. Now that the end of Christmas is near, I could say that the best day I had in Christmas was, without any doubt, the Christmas Eve.

That day I was in La Antilla with my whole family and I had a really good time though I had to work a lot because I was the host and because the washing machine was broken, and I had to wash all the plates in a tradicional way.

All the people that was invited had to bring some food and drinks to colaborate a little bit. Finally, everything went OK. The dinner was fantastic and the dishes too. Afterwards, we started dancing a lot of different kinds of music because every person had to choose three songs that the liked and then they were played, and that mix of music was really peculiar.

With the food that was left over we all eat the other day, that was celebrated in a relax way.
