Someone like you

BIBLIOTECA CENTRAL   19:15/30h Tuesday 7th
Av Baunatal, San Sebastián de los Reyes
Hi,
Just a reminder that we will be at the library on Tuesday, not to sing Adele's song but to read and comment on  a short story from  a collection by Roald Dahl by that name 'Someone like you' Penguin edition. The  association has enough copies to share but maybe you want to have your own copy.
See you then.

Let's begin.

We are very happy to offer some fab reasons to get together  thanks to the  great ideas of our members and the space we have in the Universidad Popular.

Where better to begin than at the beginning? Cristina will run this activity for small children.
Have a look at our poster.

Something to celebrate!!!

These pictures were taken by Audrey during la traca final de las fiestas de Sanse.
The fiestas are over but still, we have some good news.
We thought we'd use this firework display to celebrate that ASEDOW finally has a
space where we can get together to organise our many and diverse activities!
                                      
We have it all day Wednesdays.

The first thing we will do is bring the books and dvds we have to share.

 The Common Room 

A place for English speakers and English learners to get together and organize fun activities 

JOIN US!



Happy holidays!

Hopefully by September we will be able to confirm that we have a space for two new activities.

Congratulations!!!

For the jury the stories were fascinating and it was a difficult choice.
Here are moments of the prize giving event. Some of the participants read their stories to the audience. The beautiful souvenir booklets were prepared by José.

Blanca's winning story and her English are amazingly good.

Iván from CEIP  Antonio Machado  broke the ice and read his story about the witch Maruja and everyone admired his pictures as well as his good reading.

Ivan from I.E.S. Joan Miró , created a  chilling atmosphere for his tale and picked up the diplomas for friends from his school who also participated.

Eunice from I.E.S. Joan Miró read 'An Ordinary Night' a very good plot indeed.

Finally Beatriz from I.E.S. San Juan Buatista read 'Don't Give Up' a wonderful story giving hope to people in a hopeless situation.

Sofía didn't come to read 'The Mysterious Tree.' but her teacher from CEIP Antonio Machado picked up her diploma. I highly recommend it. We loved the pictures too.

Other stories were read by members of the jury

The jury especially enjoyed  The Super Vegetables by Irene from CEIP Principe de Asturias, The Sea Prince by Violeta Pascual CEIP Principe Felipe,, One Summer Day. by Barbara, CEIP Antonio Machado, Come On Sweetie by Carmen and  The Selection  by Claudia from I.E.S. Joan Miró.
Irene and Ana were there but didn't read their stories. Maybe next year.

After the event the children had the opportunity to mingle with Ann Marie, Attaché for Cultural affairs from the Irish Embassy in Madrid and Patricia, Attaché for European Affairs during Ireland's Presidency for the E.U. and Audrey who stepped in for Jane Anne the third jury member. The event was also attended by Mar, la Concejala de  Cultura de San Sebastián de los Reyes
We greatly appreciate your kind words and support.

That is the end of the  2013 ASEDOW  Story Competition.
