There’s more to the dark side of the English capital’s history than that of the Tower of London. Around Halloween the city will come alive (so to speak) with the dead, as ghosts, ghouls and witches take to the streets for a weekend of spine-chilling revelries, from Oct. 29 to 31.
The London Ghost Festival, put on by a group called London Paranormal (44-79-8223-0208; a k a Phantasmagoria Events), includes a performance in Greenwich, ghost walks, boat rides, and a late night opening of the London Dungeon, all culminating in a Halloween Ball.
You can sign up for a scary one-hour boat trip through the half-mile-long, pitch-black Islington Tunnel, organized by the London Canal Museum, or head to Thorpe Park, a theme park outside the city, for a special Halloween evening of roller-coaster rides and horror mazes, until 10 p.m. (Advance booking required for Thorpe Park.)
On Oct. 29 and 30, Charlton House, a Jacobean Mansion in Greenwich, will host performances of “The 13th Ghost of Gruesome Greenwich,” in which summoned spirits are invited to plunge the spectator into eerie interactive intrigues.
Back in London, Haunted History Ghost Walks explore the city’s “most horrid history and petrifying ghost stories.” On the route are execution sites, graveyards with body-snatching histories and ancient plague pits.
“This year we have two walking tours over Halloween — ‘Saints and Sinners of Southwark’ and ‘Spooky Smithfield and Beyond’ — and a special ‘Midnight Shocker: If You Dare,’ ” which starts at 10:30 p.m. on Oct. 31, said Ian John Shillito, the director and founder of Phantasmagoria Events. “Our aim is to reveal local social history — forgotten histories, lost regional myths and colorful characters.”

1º BTO E with Comenius

Dear students,

Thank you very much for your good welcome to the

Comenius project.

You have been chosen to welcome some of our foreign teachers

involved in this programme and I know you are going to do it very

well and with enthusiasm.
Now, we have many things to do.
Don´t forget to prepare the questions for Tuesday!

   Our highschool is  participating in a Comenius programme

   with a project titled: “Healthy lifestyle: comparing lifestyles

of students in Europe.” Our project acronym is C.L.O.S.E..

This project will last for two years. Six countries are taking

      part in it: Austria, Denmark, Estonia, France, Ireland and Spain.

Our aim is to make students, families and the

community aware of the importance of living

a healthy life and motivate them to change

unhealthy habits.

During the first year, we are going to work

on our students’ eating habits: first, getting

to know them, later working on traditional

healthy food in each country. We are going

to compile a common cookery book.

In the second year, we’ll concentrate on our

 students’ spare time activities, hobbies and

sports activities at school.

Students from the above mentioned countries

will get in touch through different ways: e-mails,

 exchanging letters, e-twinning and Skype, etc...

Therefore, they’ll be forced to use English as the

language of communication. This practice will

bring them great profit.

Finally, we’d like to announce that a group

 of teachers from all these countries will be

 working on this project in our country

 in November (12^th-16^th) and we will

wellcome them in our school

 on Monday, 14^th  November.
