FOOD BANK

The Gran Recollida d’Aliments is a major event that happens each year. This year is from November 30 to December 1.

During the event volunteers give plastic bags at the entrance of a supermarket. The people can buy something extra to donate to the food banks of Spain, which help feed thousands of less fortunate people.

In our High School, INS Mollerussa IV, we take part in this collection of food for poor people. Everyone can take some packets of rice, beans, pasta…or other non-perishable food and collaborate with the Food Bank.

FRANCESCO REDI CELL THEORY

Francesco Redi presented the theory of the cell to show that living beings can only be originated from living beings.

In order to verify this theory, in the biology class we did an experiment. We took three glass jars and we put a piece of raw meat into each one. The first one was left open, the second was covered with a cloth and we put a lid on the third.

After a few days, on Friday, November 23, we could observe that larvae appeared on the meat that had been uncovered, possibly due to the contact of an insect with the meat. The meat covered with a cloth created fungus, possibly by the same contact with our hands. Finally, in the meat that was covered nothing came out because it was not in contact with any living being during the time that the experiment lasted.

THEATRE: LIMITS

On Monday, November 26th, in the class of culture and values, we worked on the story about the Elefante encadenado by Jorge Bucay.

On Friday 30 December we are going to the theatre to see the play Limits, by Ferran Orobitg. This show is inspired by Bucay’s story,  which tells us the life of an elefant in a circus. The elefant is chained to a stake from an early age. A child guesses why such an strong animal does not escape…The answer is that it tried to run away when it was small, but it was not strong enough, so he could not.

This teaches us a lesson: we ourselves put our own límits.
