Although the weather was awful, we enjoyed ourselves a lot and we are looking forward to next year´s celebration.

El Caminador

2009-10-22T06:45:00.000-07:00

Eran las 10:30 de la mañana del domingo 18 de octubre, y los maestros y familias del Colegio Lester House nos encontrábamos sentados en la sala del cine Grupocine. Ansiosos esperábamos el comienzo de una película llamada El Caminador.
Era para todos nosotros una película muy especial porque los protagonistas éramos nosotros: los alumnos de 5to y 6to. Convertirnos en actores y protagonizar una película de cine fue una experiencia inolvidable. De hecho la parte más graciosa fueron los bloopers.

Coming Soon... A new Lester House production

2009-10-01T07:11:00.001-07:00

Last Monday 28th September 5th and 6th form students started a film project. This project is directed by Andres López Scarone. The film is about a very special mouse because it is one of a kind. The mouse belongs to an animal organization that protects animals , but one day it escaped. The organization was trying to find it when... an animal collector and a group of bad guys appeared. This collector has all the kinds of animals in the world except for the mouse. So everybody will try to find it.
What will happen? Who will find it? The collector or the organization? Wait and see...

The English festival and the previous feelings

2009-10-01T07:10:00.000-07:00

I'm a 6th Form student and I took part in the English festival. This year was the last time I was going to be on a stage with the Lester House school. This year we had to perform a group of young men and women who entertain young children... HI-5 !!!! At the beginning I wasn't happy at all with the teacher's choice. I thought that we had to do something more serious in view of the fact that it was our last year. But after selecting our songs and episodes and rehearsing them I started to change my mind about the teacher's decision. In each rehearsal I got more nervous about the festival , but in the end it was great!!!!

Previous days

2009-10-01T07:09:00.000-07:00

Hi!!! I'm a 6th Form student. I'm new in the school. I had never taken part in an English Festival before. I was very nervous, but day after day I understood it more and more. I took part in 6 songs and in one part I had to talk. Then I had to dance YMCA with the rest of the students.
The days of the rehearsal were great sometimes, but sometimes it was a little bit boring to wait for the other students. But in three words I'm going to say it all: I LOVE DANCING!!! That´s why I think it was amazing!
I would like to go back in time to do it again.

The days before the Festival

2009-10-01T07:08:00.000-07:00

The days before the festival I was very anxious, excited and nervous about what could happen on stage. Although I was only going to take part in Hi-5, it was quite hard for me to dance and and pronounce the words I had to say correctly. From the outside the rehearsal looked very disorganized but we, the actors, knew that it was very complex. But after all I wasn't so nervous because as Hugo said last year: if the play is excellent everybody claps, if the play is good everybody claps and if the play is a disaster everybody claps as well.

English Festival 2009:The big day finally arrived!!

2009-09-17T07:17:00.001-07:00

At the beginning my classmates and I were sitting and talking when... the festival began. The English Director started talking... ; then while we were getting ready for our play some 1st and 2nd girls started dancing Scottish dances.
When we had to get on stage, I was so nervous that I was shaking like a leaf. While I was acting I made some mistakes, but I think it was quite good.
I think that people liked the songs and the slide presentations that were shown on the screen because they reminded them of the time when they were young.

Living the festival from the inside

The big day has arrived. Families from students of all ages are coming with their children and a lot of bags!!! The minutes before we were very nervous ; two classmates hadn't arrived so we panicked and we started thinking about who would replace them.When I said the first quack (I played the part of a duck in my play), I relaxed. The festival was 3 hours long. They showed lots of slides.
It was very funny when children from first and second form went on stage and they danced .
Families took lots of photographs.
It was the best festival that I can remember .
I think people enjoyed it and they had fun although we made some mistakes!!!!
