You did it again...

Like last year, ten of our students of 3º ESO have passed to the final round of Global Classrooms (in the pictures they are at the Asamblea de Madrid during the Opening Ceremony). You have been an uplifting example of engagement, hard work and deliverance. Together with the rest of the students in 3º, who have supported this project so enthusiastically, you have made this thrilling experience possible. Thank you all.

And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts". 

4. "If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?".

5."O, beware, my lord, of jealousy!
It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on."

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?"
