Sleep and football.

A few decades ago, professional footballers spent their nights partying. Now, they are much more aware of the benefits of a good night’s sleep.

Gradually, club managers began to pay more attention to scientific sleep research, and for good reason. In 2011, sleep specialist Cheri Mah discovered that increasing sleep to 8-10 hours per night massively increased the speed and shot accuracy of players. Other research shows that a single night of inadequate sleep can increase the risk of injury, and 64 hours of bad sleep reduces strength, power and balance, and can even cause the body to eat its own muscles!

Consequently, managers started trying to improve their players’ sleep. Southampton Football Club’s manager Alek Gross, for example, forbade his players from consuming caffeine, sugar or fatty foods, which prevent sleep, in the evenings. Instead, they were given milky protein drinks which made them tired. 

Manchester City player Sergio Aguero, for example, was finding it hard to sleep because his muscular body prevented his legs from closing when he lay on his side. He got a new mattress which matched his height and weight, thus keeping his neck and back aligned in the night.

James Milner from Manchester City found it hard to sleep after evening games, so would play computer games into the early hours. As a result, he was too tired to train the following morning. Setting a routine with a late bedtime, early rise and afternoon nap helped to fix this problem.

Whereas in the past, playing after a party and a few hours’ sleep was seen as a badge of honour, a good sleep is now considered an essential part of performance.

Santa Amalia VS Villarreal. Spanish King's cup.

All we know: CD Santa Amalia is going to play its most important match in history. Next Saturday, at 18:00, in Francisco de la Hera stadium, our players will try to make history defeating a first division team.

What are our chances?

Certainly, not many. Villarreal is a strong team, a Champions team. Their football players are professionals, with an incredible quality and a perfect physical training. However, CD Santa Amalia has got an ace in the hole: they are excited to win. Our football players will give everything they have for defeating Villarreal.

Who knows. Perhaps next Monday we will be talking about how CD Santa Amalia, against all prevision, vanquished Villareal, passing to next round at the King's cup trophee.

Top 5 Egypt ancient treasures. 6th grade A.

Seti I tomb. King's Valley.

In this report I will tell you about Ancient Egyptians. An awsome civilization which let us a lot of archaeological remains; also a big pile of mysteries.

Who were Ancient Egyptians?

They were an old civilization appeared 5000 years ago and finished 2000 years ago (more or less) Along its 3000 years of life they made incredible things: great and beautiful buildings, tombs with delightful wall paintings, fine jewelry and goldsmith works... Let's talk about the most significative items they created.

Tut's Treasure

Top 5. Tutankhamun treasure.

In 1923 an archaeologist called Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun; and inside there, a fabulous treasure valuated in more than 1.000.000.000 € (One thousand million euro). The archaeologist got  very rich by selling all those artifacts. Although there was a curse...

Abu Simbel temple.

Top 4. Abu simbel.

It is a great temple carved into the rock. It was built by Ramses II, one of the most important pharaohs in Ancient Egypt. As you can see in the photo, there are four sculptures of Ramesses II in the facade. Also a gate whereby you can go inside the temple (right picture).

Top 3. Luxor and Karnak temples.

Luxor temple.

They are two very big temples (And when I say big, it means big: more than 200 football pitches) These temples were like cities: they had academies, barns, houses, gardens... 

Top 2. King's Valley.

King's valley.

Pharaohs used to make tombs for their rest in the afterlife. They made many of their graves in the same place: the Valley of the Kings. Archaeologists have found 65 tombs; but they suspect that there are more, yet unexplored. Sure that many treasures are still hidden, waiting for being discovered.

Top 1. The great pyramid of Giza.

The most famous Egyptian monument. It is a special tomb built in the first era of the Egyptian Pharaohs. It is big; very big: 144 meters high on a square whose side is 230 meters. It is made with big cubes of stone, each one with an average weigh of 2,7 tones. The most amazing fact of this construction is that it was made without modern machinary (no trailers, no tractors, no cranes, not bulldozers...) All the stones were moved and placed only by means of animal and human strength.

Titanic sinking.

RMS Titanic.

What was the Titanic?

It was the biggest, strongest, safest and fastest ship in its time. It was 269 meters long (three football pitches); 28 meters width (like the lenght of three of our classes); and 53 meters heigh (like two towers of our town church). Its maximum velocity: 40 km per hour (very fast for a ship) Its buliders said that it couldn't sink. They were wrong.

When and where was it built?

It was built in Belfast, Northem Ireland. It was finished in 1912 (113 years ago)

Who was travelling on it?

A lot of people: 696 were crew (sailors, cleaners, cooks...) and 2.344 passengers. There were three different classes for passengers:

• A first class for rich people.
• A second class for middle class people.
• A third class for poor people.

Titanic sinking.

What happened with it?

It sank on April, the 14th, 1912, during its first journey across the North Atlantic Ocean. At midnight the Titanic collided against an iceberg. two hours later it sunk.

How many people died?

1.517 persons died. Some of them drowned; but the majority because the hypothermia (the cold death) Furthermore, there weren't enough lifeboats for everyone. A complete dissaster. 

Grammar. 6th Grade. Going to.

"Going to" is an expression which could be translated as "voy a". We use it for talking about plans in a short term.

I am going to visit my grandad.

He is going to play football.

They are going to study English.

Today, at class, we did an online worksheet about it. I let it here, because, as you know, on next exam there will be a grammar excercise about "going to".

Note: it is a very complete worksheet. On following days we will do other parts of it. However, if you want to try it, go ahead.

A football story. 6th grade A.

Other video. I am not sure about which one I am going to use at the exam. So, we'll watch both them:

Hint for the exam. 5th grade A.

If I were you, I would be able to explain the rules of my favourite game. Who knows; perhaps on Friday's exam... 

Advise: do not choose a very complicated game. For example: chess is too complicated. Football is too complicated. Not good choices. On the other hand, hide and seek is easy to explain. Also some dice games, like the higest score. Or stone, paper scissors. 

New photocopy. Medieval Ages.

I park the photocopy "Football". Replacing it, a new one about Medieval Ages. Here we go with some pretty stuff related to it. First, a video.

Then, some questions I prepared some time ago:
