Mama Said   (Lucas Graham) The song is about overcoming and confidence. It tells us the story of a boy that can't travel in summer or buy new clothes because he is poor. But he loves his parents and he is very grateful. Definitely he was a good boy. His dream was to become famous but everybody told him that he was crazy, that it is impossible and that he wouldn't get it. But he was convinced he would get it so he fought very hard for his dreams and finally after too much work he got it. I think it is a very beautiful song and we must think about what it tells us. Maybe what you want is difficult and everybody tells you that it is impossible but you must believe in yourself, work hard and you would get it . Written by Carlota Rodríguez  (2º ESO A)

BOD DYLAN, THE NEW NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE 2016 US music legend Bob Dylan, whose poetic lyrics have influenced generations of fans, won the Nobel Literature Prize on Thursday, the first songwriter to win the award in a decision that stunned prize watchers. The 75-year-old was honoured "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition", the Swedish Academy said. The choice was met by gasps and a long round of spontaneous applause from journalists attending the prize announcement. The folk rock singer had been mentioned in Nobel speculation over the years, but was never seen as a serious contender. The Academy said Dylan's songs were "poetry for the ears" while acknowledging that some might find Dylan a "strange" choice. it is "poetry   performed, together with instruments,"  Knocking On Heaven's Door   Mama, take this badge off of me I can’t use it anymore.

5th and last Day Último día. Ya ayer lloraron un poco tras la marcha del otro colegio y de algunos de los monitores. Estos chicos tienen los sentimientos a flor de piel. Se espera un día duro. El Padre Marcelino nos resume hoy el mensaje importante que quiere que nos llevemos: Después a las habitaciones a hacer las maletas y a comprar algunos recuerdos y nos reunimos en el teatro para la entrega de diplomas y la despedida oficial. So, That was all folks!!!. No queda más que subir al autobús y decir adiós a David, Oscar y Teresa, que han estado con nosotros estos días muy atentos y divertidos y a nuestro querido Pinto que ha salido a despedirnos. Y decir que los chicos se han portado estupendamente. Solo espero que ellos se lleven un buen recuerdo de su estancia en Farm Camp al lado de sus profesoras Miss Kate, Mrs Scully y Charo.  HASTA LA PRÓXIMA!!!  SEE YOU ON TUESDAY AT SCHOOL!!!

Last night.     Horror story and... the cave!!! Última noche, nos tenían preparada una sorpresa. Creíamos que no habría historia de terror, pero sí hubo. Algunos de los chicos incluso participaron de la broma. Después de contarles una terrorífica historia para ambientar, bajamos por el campo con las linternas hasta la cueva abandonada y allí... Ja,ja,ja... la salida de la cueva fue memorable. Entraron con miedo y salieron despavoridos pero  luego no paraban de reír. Y solo eran algunos de sus compañeros y los monitores pero la ambientación fue genial. Esa noche terminaron cansadísimos gracias a Dios.
