We have celebrated Halloween with 1º ESO for the first time at school. Lots of students dressed up as witches, ghosts., skeleton and some of them wore masks. At the beginning they were shy but as time went by they felt more confident and very excited about it. The bilingual group had the Science lesson about the pumkins , where they came from, what they are like in the inside, the way they are carved to become Jack O´Lanterns and some recipes about traditional Halloween food: pumkin bread, dead fingers, cemetery dish, pumkin pie. In the Social Science lesson they spoke about Egyptians and the way they were buried. The Spanish Language Teacher gave them a project work about “all the Saints Day” in Spain. How Spanish people remember their dead relatives going to cemeteries and taking them flowers. The English teachers spoke about the Halloween origin and its meaning in the English –speaking world and how it has become so popular that nowadays it is celebrated in many other European countries.
Just to finish, the bilingual group held a party with candles . They all danced , in pairs, with an orange in their foreheads. When the music stopped those students who still kept the orange won a prize: a bag of sweets . We, teachers and students, had a very good time and really enjoyed it.

Songwriters: Carlson, Britney; Gad, Toby; Knowles, Beyonce; If I were a boy even just for a day I'd roll out of bed in the morning And throw on what I wanted And go
drink beer with the guys And chase after girls I'd kick it with who I wanted And I'd never get confronted for it 'Cause they stick up for me
If I were a boy I think I could understand How it feels to love a girl I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her 'Cause I know how it hurts When you lose the one you wanted 'Cause he's taking you for granted And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a boy I would turn off my phone Tell everyone it's broken So they'd think that I was sleeping alone
I'd put myself first And make the rules as I go 'Cause I know that she'd be faithful Waiting for me to come home, to come home
If I were a boy I think I could understand How it feels to love a girl I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her 'Cause I know how it hurts When you lose the one you wanted 'Cause he's taking you for granted And everything you had got destroyed
It's a little too late for you to come back Say it's just a mistake Think I'd forgive you like that If you thought I would wait for you You thought wrong
But you're just a boy You don't understand And you don't understand, oh How it feels to love a girl someday you wish you were a better man
You don't listen to her You don't care how it hurts Until you lose the one you wanted 'Cause you're taking her for granted And everything you had got destroyed But you're just a boy
