INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY
On March 8th our school, as many others worldwide, celebrated the International Women's Day. The bilingual students of 1º ESO made a project in which they had to research and write about some famous women from the past and from the present. Below you can see an example in the powerpoint made by Marta Quesada Villaescusa, Nerea Montañés Montaño and Luis Enrique Ruiz Carreño.

THE EARTHQUAKE IN HAITI
The earthquake in Haiti happened on the 12th January 2010. The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.0 degrees on the Richter scale. This earthquake was the strongest recorded in the area since another in 1770, which measured 7.5 degrees. The bodies recovered since January 25th are more than 150,000, and the deaths recorded more than 200.000. There are also more than 250,000 injured and one million homeless. Now Puerto Príncipe is the poorest city in America.The survivors were transferred to the Dominican Republic.
WHY DID THE EARTHQUAKE IN HAITI HAPPEN?
The Caribbean plate has got a concave plate. It was a movement of this plate that caused the earthquake. It happened 15 km from the capital, at a depth of 8 km on the Enriquillo fault. Each year it separates one or two centimetres and there are little earthquakes, but there hadn’t been an earthquake for 167 years. The pressure had been accumulating until this year when it exploded and there was a big earthquake of 7.0 degrees.
