Christmas is coming and in our school we are trying you to live Christmas in an alternative way to the individual consumism provided by the famous "Markets". This is the third year we put forward a solidarity campaign with the motto: "LIVING A DIFFERENT CHRISTMAS, A SOLIDARITY CHRISTMAS".
We're waiting for presents, buying lots of food, but this is a moment to think of other people who can't live Christmas and the rest of the year like us.
Here you can watch, read and sing the song by Phil Collins Another Day in Paradise (1989), written for the Non-Governmental Organization CARITAS, supporting the people who live in the streets.
You can also watch the video from Michael Jackson's song Heal the World. After this song, the singer also created the Heal the World Foundation, a charitable organization which was designed to improve the lives of homeless children. The organization was also created to teach children how to help others
BY THE WAY...

4) In your opinion, how can we help other people in our life? Write three or four sentences.

HALLOWEEN IN IESO SIERRA LA MESTA
For the first time, we celebrated Halloween in our school. Fifty-one Jack-o-Lanterns were shown made by the students and some posters to decorate the halls of the School Center.
Next year we'll try to do it better.
