Living in the city / the countryside

Come and visit Tomar!!!

Hi friends! I was just passing by to tell you how great Tomar is! It’s a great town with some amazing places to visit and now I’m going to tell you some of my favourite places.

I think I will start by “A Mata dos Sete Montes”, it’s a really cool place to have contact with nature and it’s cool to have a snack and do physical activities.

            My second favourite part of Tomar is the older part of the city where you can find almost everything. Oh! I almost forgot the “Castelo dos Templários”. That is an excellent place to check out some of the history of the ancient people that used to live here.

            On the other hand I don’t really like some places in Tomar but about that I will not talk.

            So, if you’re getting your bags ready, and I bet you are, don’t forget to visit our excellent hotels, hostels, restaurants and make sure you don’t forget your hat, your sunglasses and your sun screen!!!

Goodbye! Hope to see you soon!

The Avalon Theatre in Tomar

In the afternoon of last day of the second term, all students of the 7^th grade, 8^th grade and some students of the 9^th grade went to the “Instituto Politécnico de Tomar” to see a play by the Avalon theatre.

The name of the play was “Off with their heads”. It was so interesting, all students enjoyed and would like to see it again. The best part for some students is the possibility that they have to participate in the play. The actors are very friendly and make all people take part in the play.

Why do students like to see plays done by the Avalon theatre very much? The answer is all of us can understand the play and because of that students can be in touch with the English language. Actors speak slowly and this is very important because students aren’t used to listening to native speakers.

I’m one of the 9^th grade students that saw the play. We enjoyed the play. We advise students to go if they have a possibility.

On Friday, 23^rd March, in the afternoon, the 7^th and 8^th grade students went to the IPT, on foot, to see a play called “Off with their heads”.

The characters were Queen Elizabeth I and her servant, Toilet, Sir Francis Drake and Sir Atterly Rodden.

When Sir Francis Drake and Sir Atterly Rodden came back from their explorations gave exotic foods, for example potatoes and chocolate to the Queen.

Queen Elizabeth wanted to discover the New World, so she demanded Sir Francis and Sir Atterly took her and her servant on a voyage. If not, it’s “Off with their heads”.

On their travels, they met famous conquerors like Napoleon, Boudicca, Johan of Arc and Christopher Columbus, played by the students.

The play was fantastic. I liked it very much.

On 23rd March, in the afternoon, the students of 7th, 8th and 9th grade went to Instituto Politécnico to see a theatre play called “Off with their heads”, by the Avalon Theatre Company. The main characters were Queen Elizabeth I, Toilet, a servant, Sir Francis Drake and Sir Atterly Rodden, the Explorers.

Toilet is the only servant in the castle, because all the others servants had food poisoning, after eating her food.

Toilet is explaining this to the Queen when Sir Francis Drake, and after Sir Atterly Rodden, appeared. They had three gifts to the Queen: a potato, chocolate and coffee, but she didn`t like them. So they left to discover the “Elixir of Life”. Sir Francis Drake went with the Queen and Sir Atterly Rodden went with Toilet.

In their voyage they found Napoleon, Genghis, Khan, Joan of Arc, Boudicca, Dora, Columbus, Magellan, Sacagawea, Olive and Olaf.

The map to find the “Elixir of Life” started and finished in the same place, so to really find it they had to make something funny to the gods and they sang and danced the Twist.

We, the students, help them, but nothing happened, when Toilet found it she became Lady Toilet.

I really enjoyed this play!
