We are a band


Since this year started we have been singing, “We are a band” from Audio Adrenaline. Now this song is an important part of our school memories. I think that this song really brought us together trough this last school year. But, however, what we like more is the real meaning of the lyrics; because it shows us all the great things that Christ did for us. But we can forget about all his love and about that friend that we will always have.

We just wanted to thank Miss Raquel for showing us the importance of love and friendship, but the most important, for bringing us together with this song.

The Analects

The analects are readings that show us the importance of having and living a moral life. They were written by Confucius, a Chinese philosopher. In his writings we can notice the use of aphorisms, which are short statements that express general principles. With these statements we can learn all the benefits that a moral life can have and all we can do by living one.

We really liked to read “The Analects”, because we learn that it is always better to be nice with everyone and that by not having evil thoughts we can reach anything we want. However, everything we do has to be done for our self improvement and not for impressing anyone else. The Analects also show the importance of respecting the authority and the most important, our parents. We have to try hard to make them proud about us and do not make them have any anxiety. But do not ever forget that if you want to reach something you have to give more of yourself and less from the others.

Panchatantra


Panchatantra is an Indian fable that teaches a moral. It is a Fable about an arrogant lion, named Numskull, who always wanted to be the most powerful animal and eat everyone. It also talks about a clever rabbit, who tricks the lion. This fable teaches us that sometimes we are our own enemies. It also shows the importance of being wise and skips violence.

We really liked this fable because it really showed us the importance of being wise in everything we make in our lives, because if you are wise you can reach everything you want. It is always better to be wise and smart than being arrogant and cruel. We also learned that sometimes the person who stops us of reaching our goals is ourselves.

Panchatantra shows that power is not everything, and that there are more important things, and that if we only focus on power we may loose everything we have even our lives.
