A NEW EXPERIENCE…….”THE SCHOOL MAGAZINE”

For the first time our school has got a “School Magazine”. The idea started from our class ( IV AL) and then circulated throughout the school.
It’s organised and written by the students and published monthly. Now the cost is covered by the school but we are searching for a sponsor. Not an easy task!!! We’re going to ask for donations from local businesses.
Now we’ll try to explain the title to you. As you know Minerva is the Goddess of knowledge, while “snerva” in Italian indicates exhaustion. This implies that school is tiring, but still worth it because we receive the necessary competences for our future.
Every month we decide upon a general theme and then a selection of students write the articles. The next edition will be themed around “Carnevale”. This is one of the traditional festivals in Italy. It’s an old tradition with lots of celebrations and everybody wears masks!
How would you like to write an article to be published in our magazine?
We have attached the front cover of last month’s edition. We hope you like it!

A WEEK IN ENGLAND

MINISTAY BRIGHTON ( England)

07/14 December 2008

Hi guys! We want to tell you about our fantastic week in Brighton, a very pretty seaside resort in the south of England, from the 7th to the 14th of December.

Now let’s tell you shortly how we spent our week there. Every morning we went to school from 9 o’ clock to 12:30. In the afternoon we visited lots of places as the Royal Pavilion, Brighton Pear, Brighton Museum, the aquarium and we spent a very amazing evening at the Bowling! We had also some free time for shopping and we enjoyed the traditional “cream tea” in a very typical tea room. A full immersion in the English tradition!

The last 2 days where the most exiting: “two trips to London”. There we visited the most important monuments, of course. Everything was very interesting, but the most exciting experience was to visit the Hard Rock Café where we enjoyed a lot and spent some money, too. A group of us lived with English family so they had the possibility to make new friends.

The week seemed too short, and now we are at school again, and we have to work hard as we are at the end of the first term!!!
