Our rapping experience

Hello...We are Tonia & Ivan... we want to tell you our rapping experience... Same day ago we wrote a beautiful rap song with Daniel... "IF YOU WANT SOMETHING".In the morning we went to a primary school and we sang the song to the children.. the same day we went to a professional recording studio and we recorded the song!!! we were very excited because that was the first time that we had gone to a recording studio. After we had recorded the CD the producer gave us it. We came back to school and we listened the our song with other students. We were very shy because everybody listened to our voices. now we are going to make a video for this song, we hope that we will enjoy ourselves again! This was a special experience because we think that it will be difficult to do this it again!!!

The programme of the last week

This is the last week that we're spending here..


This week we have a lot of things to do:

Paola and Raffaella will write a report on our three weeks work here....

Jenny's group has to write up statistics, scientific findings and conclusions about its part of the project, which was asking questions people about the tale of "the ant ant the grasshopper" ...

Ivan's group is writing about the phases of the creative process involved in song writing and recording in a professional recording studio and also performing and presenting the song in a local primary school.

We might also be recording our song and filming it to make a 'music video' and putting together a play with the lessons from the Ant and the Grasshopper.


The school has also organized the "Sports Afternoon" next Tuesday in University Parks:
we can play football, frisbee, rounders, poi and jugging and so on...

On Thursday 15th we have the table tennis tournament...

A very busy week is waiting for us and we're sure it 'll be very exciting like the two before.... :)

Our travel to Stonehenge

Hello guys,
we are Alessandro, Rosario and Gerardina, on Saturday morning we and our group went to Stonehenge. We took the bus from Oxford at about 8 o'clock opposite the Greens' Cafe and we arrived at about 10 o'clock to Stonehenge. When we arrived we were very excited because it was the first time that we went there.
Stonehenge is a very old and misterious place. Stonehenge is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones. Archaeologists believe that the standing stones were erected around 2200 BC and the surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. The site and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986 in a co-listing with Avebury henge monument, and it is also a legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument. There are a lot of legends about Stonehenge. One of these is that "the Devil bought the stones from a woman in Ireland, wrapped them up, and brought them to Salisbury plain. One of the stones fell into the Avon, the rest were carried to the plain. The Devil then cried out, "No-one will ever find out how these stones came here!" A friar replied, "That’s what you think!," whereupon the Devil threw one of the stones at him and struck him on the heel. The stone stuck in the ground and is still there."

After Stonehenge, we went to Salisbury, a nice town, famous for its cathedral The Cathedral contains the world's oldest working clock and has one of the four surviving original copies of the Magna Carta (all four original copies are in Britain). It is really interesting!!!
