POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES&POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS
Possessive adjectives and possessive pronouns in English are often confusing--because most of them are very similar in form and one has exactly the same form for both the adjective and the pronoun.

THE HISTORY OF INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY 8th MARCH
International Women's Day, formalized by the United Nations in 1977, not only reminds us about the victories of women, but also invites us to reflect upon the role and status of women in the world at large.
In one century women have achieved legal and legislative equality in most countries of the world. However, equality in actual fact remains a goal that has yet to be achieved.
ORIGINS
Just like other symbolic dates, International Women's Day came about due to several historical occurrences. It is the symbolic culmination of both the long public struggle for women's rights and the more private struggle waged everyday by women that have made the celebration of this day possible.
The main historical reference of International Women's Day is based on the strikes that were made by American female workers in 1857 and in 1911 in New York City. These strikes were a protest by the female workers against the miserable working conditions they were forced to endure. One event was particularly significant to these demonstrations. On March 25th 1911, a group of female workers, who were demonstrating in a textile factory in New York, died as a result of a fire. These women were not able to escape from the fire because the doors of the factory were locked. The doors had been locked in order to ensure that the workers would not leave before the end of the workday.
Another important historical reference is the Second International Conference of socialist women, which took place in 1910 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Here, the German socialist leader, Clara Zetkin, proposed to create an international day for women, so as to recognize the struggle undertaken by women worldwide.
In 1977, two years after the International Women's Year, The United Nations adopted a resolution inviting Member States to observe a day for the celebration of the rights of women and international peace. Consequently, March 8th has become a day of recognition of the rights of women in many countries in the World.
Mothering Sunday 14th March
Mothering Sunday in the UK is the equivalent of Mothers' Day in other countries.
It is a time when children pay respect to their Mothers. Children often give their Mothers a gift and a card.
Many churches give the children in the congregation a little bunch of spring flowers to give to their Mothers as a thank you for all their care and love throughout the year.
Mothering Sunday (Mother's Day) is always the fourth Sunday of Lent.
Mothering Sunday in UK in 2010 - 14 March
(Mother's Day in US in 2010 - 9 May)
Mothering Sunday is not a fixed day because it is always the middle Sunday in Lent (which lasts from Ash Wednesday to the day before Easter Sunday). This means that Mother's Day in the UK will fall on different dates each year and sometimes even fall in different months.
Mothering Sunday has been celebrated in the UK on the fourth Sunday in Lent since at least the 16th century.
Mother's Day
In recent times Mothering Sunday has in Britain taken on the name and character of the US Mother's Day. The original meaning of Mothering Sunday is often unknown, although people are aware that it always falls in the middle of the Christian festival of Lent.
CHOCOLATE BROWNIE
How To Make Chocolate Brownies
Chocolate Brownies Recipe. The Art of Hospitality School specializes in making food with kids - that's healthy and fun to cook. This is Chef Sally Kuhrt's delicious chocolate Brownies Recipe
Step 1: You will need…
250 g caster sugar
180 g plain chocolate drops
180 g soft butter
110 g plain flour
1 vanilla extract
3 eggs
some butter for greasing
150 g walnuts
baking parchment
baking tin
oven gloves
heatproof bowl
small saucepan
wooden spoon
large mixing bowl
teaspoon
tablespoon
spatula
whisk
sharp knife
pallet knife
Step 2: Prepare
Grease the side of the tin by rubbing with a kitchen towel dipped in a little soft butter. Line with a square of baking parchment. Turn on the oven, and set it to 160 degrees Celsius, or 320 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 3: Chocolate & Butter Fill the saucepan with a little water, and sit a heat proof bowl on top. The bottom of the bowl should not touch the water, and definitely not the bottom of the saucepan. Remove some of the water if this is the case. Cut the butter up into small pieces. Place them in the bowl and add the chocolate.
Step 4: Heat Put the saucepan over a low heat. Make sure the saucepan handle is facing away from you, so you don't knock it. The chocolate and butter will gently melt over about 10 minutes. Don't be tempted to stir! This will solidify the chocolate, and you won't be able to melt it again after that.
Step 5: Cool
When completely melted, stir gently with a wooden spoon. Turn off the heat, remove the bowl from the pan and leave it to cool.
Step 6: Eggs, Sugar, Vanilla Put the 3 eggs, 250 grams of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into a large bowl. Whisk together
Step 7: Add chocolate
Fold in the cooled chocolate mixture
Step 8: Add remaining ingredients Now add 110 grams of plain flour. Use a method called cutting and folding to mix it, moving the spoon in a figure of 8. This helps to keep the mixture light and airy. If you would like, add 150g chopped walnuts, again using the cutting and folding action.
Step 9: Bake
Put the mixture in a tin and smooth the top over evenly. Bake at 160 degrees Celsius for 20 to 30 minutes. If you can, set a timer to make sure they don't over cook. Check after 20 minutes. The chocolate brownies should still be soft but not springy.
Step 10: Cool Remove the chocolate brownies from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for at least 30 minutes.
Step 11: Serve the chocolate brownies
Cut into squares with a sharp knife. Lift the baking parchment from the tin, and use a pallet knife to transfer the chocolate brownies to a serving plate.

Jingle Bells

We Wish You A Merry Christmas
"We Wish You a Merry Christmas" is a popular secular 16th century English carol from West Country of England. It is one of the few traditional holiday carols that makes mention of the New Year's celebration. In the days of Olde England, groups of travelling singers would entertain for food or pay. These groups were called "waits" and were extremely popular at Christmastime. We Wish You a Merry Christmas is one of these old tunes.
We wish you a Merry Christmas History has its roots in England. However the author and the composer of the song still remains unknown to the whole world. Therefore the date of the publication of the song is not known. This song We wish you a Merry Christmas actually reflects the Christmas tradition of showering gifts on the people who wandered from house to house, singing these Christmas songs to please the wealthy people of the community.

Halloween at IES Puerta de la Axarquía
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.
