The 25th and 26th of April, I did a different trip with other students. We went to Valsaín where we did activities about the mediation in the high school. We met mediators of a few high schools of Segovia and Valladolid. The mediatorts are people that help other students with high school's problems. We showed to the rest of the students the things that we do in our high school and we learnt how help to other students with problems in the high school. We learnt the mediation's mean:
We talked about bullying which is a very important problem in the high schools. I think that the mediation is important and these things are very interesting. We made many friends and the trip was fantastic. I hope to repeat the experience soon.
Storybird is a web page where people can writte books for other people can read. The books can be longer or more shorth and in this book you can put pictures which are in this web page, you can put a tittle too. In my high school, we have done a book in storybird. My little story is about a small girl who is alone all the time, this story is for children and I hope you like.
The 21st of March, my class' patners and I began a unusual trip with two teachers: Marisa and Diego. This trip was different, because It was during five days and every day we have to walk between 15km to 20km. The trip's objective was arrive to Santiago and see the Cathedral. We did a part of the "Camino de Santiago". We went in the bus to Palas de Rei, where we began walking. Then, we arrived to Melide, a village which is popular for the octopus that the people can eat. We slept here in a hostel very new. It was confortable and we slept all together. The second day we wento to Arzúa, in the way we saw passages very beautifuls. On Sunday, we arrived to...
...where we watch a fotball match. The hostel was very modern and pleasant. On Monday, we went to Monte do Gozo. This is a very attractive place. This hostel was the biggest unless we couldn't sleep together, because there was only rooms for eight people. This place was very popular, because a few years ago Pablo II was there.
MONTE DO GOZO
In the afternoon, we visited Santiago, we went by bus. In the evening we slept in Monte do Gozo and when we woke up, we took our bags like other days and we went to Santiago. Between Monte do Gozo and Santiago there was 5km and when we arrived to Santiago, we had breakfast in a Santiago's bar. Then, we went to visit the Cathedral, which is a symbol. We were in the Cathedral's roof.
After we was in the Cathedral's mass and we saw the "Botafumeiro", which is a enormous censer and It very popular. In general, the trip was fantastic!
Emmeline Pankhurst is
considered one of the leaders of the suffragette movement in Great
Britain.
.
She was born in Moss Side, Manchester in 1858.
Robert
Goulden, her father, was a successful businessman with radical political beliefs
and Sophia Crane, her mother, was a passionate feminist.
Emmeline’s
parents had conventional ideas about education and after a short spell at a
school in Manchester, Emmeline was sent to finish the school in Paris at the
age of fifteen.
When
she returned to Manchester in 1878, she met a lawyer, Richard Pankhurst.
Richard was a strong advocate of women’s suffrage.
Richard Pankhurst
Richard
and Emmeline got married. In the first six years of the marriage Emmeline had
four children. Christabel in 1880, Sylvia in 1882, Frank in 1884, and Adela in
1885.
Christabel Pankhurst
In
1885, Emmeline became a Poor Law Guardian. This involved regular visits to the
local work houses and she was shocked by the suffering of the inmates. Richard
and Emmeline were both active members of the Independent Labour Party. But Richard's political career ending when he died of a ulcer in 1898. Emmeline continued her
involvement in politics and in 1903, she founded the Women’s Social and
Political Union (WSPU).
In 1907, Emmeline moved to
London to join her two daughters in the struggle for voting rights. There she was imprisoned a few times.
The Emmeline’s actions inspired many other women to follow her
example.
Emmeline Pankhurst
In 1914, England declared war on Germany. The WSPU talked with the British government, and the government released all suffragettes from prison, then the WSPU helped in the war. Two days later the WSPU suspended all political activity until the war end.
After World War, Emmeline spent several years in the United States of America and Canada lecturing for the National Council for Combating Venereal Disease. When she returned to Britain in 1925, she joined the Conservative Party and continued her life’s work championing for the right of women to vote. Emmeline died three years later in 1928, a few weeks after British women got full voting rights. She was 70 years old.
Last summer I went to England. I've been in Torquay for two weeks. I visited the nearest villages and I made many friends. I went to English classes in other village near to Torquay. I went out with the Spanish friends every night. My hostfamily was very kind. I came back on the 29th of August. The travel was fantastic!
