Nos facilitará nuestra estancia en la ciudad y con esta guía conoceremos mejor algunos de los monumentos mas emblemáticos de la ciudad. Los alumnos británicos, que durante el pasado mes de Octubre, nos ayudaron a conocer sus costumbres y por ello, queremos aprovechar en nuestra visita a poder conocerles mejor.

Dear Families and students in the First grade of Bachillerato, from the department (Exchange Programme) we are sending you this first pamphlet. This pamphlet includes some interesting links on how to understand the relationship between concepts, and how the use of New Technologies could be used by our students as tools for improved comprehension, and also to correct the subjects given in each class during this term. It will help us during our trip to London and we can get to know some landmarks and emblematic places of the city better. The British students, who were with us last month of October, helped us get to know their customs, and because of this we want to take this opportunity to know them better.

A brief history:

01

London is almost 2,000 years old. It is thought that London in prehistoric times was merely a collection of scattered rural settlements. Spear heads and weapons from the Bronze and Iron Ages have been found around the Thames, and a recent archaeological dig near Vauxhall discovered evidence of a possible wooden bridge across the Thames around 3,000 years ago!

01 y 02 December:

At weekend we are going to stay with the families

It was the Romans who were responsible for the city we know today as London. They invaded Britain in AD43, and soon afterwards founded the city of Londinium. It is thought that the original city was small - about the size of Hyde Park! In AD60 Queen Boudica (also known as Boadicia) of the Iceni tribe rose up against the Romans, who fled. The city was burned to the ground. However, the Romans eventually regained control and rebuilt London, this time adding a Forum (market) and Basilica (a business centre), and slowly building a wall around the city to protect it from further invasion.

Don’t forget. We are all in this together. Be open-minded to new proposals. There are lots things to see.

El London Eye (Ojo de Londres), también conocido como Millennium Wheel (Noria del Milenio), terminado en 1999 y abierto al público en marzo de 2000, fue la mayor noria-mirador del mundo hasta la apertura de la Estrella de Nanchang en mayo de 2006, y la posterior Singapore Flyer en 2008. El London Eye alcanza una altura de 135 m sobre el extremo occidental de los Jubilee Gardens, en el South Bank del Támesis, distrito londinense de Lambeth, entre los puentes de Westminster y Hungerford. La noria está junto al County Hall y frente a las oficinas del Ministerio de Defensa. APP´S

DECEMBER

Se la conoce como "la ciudad de las agujas de ensueño", expresión acuñada por Matthew Arnold para describir la armonía en la arquitectura de los edificios universitarios. Siempre ha sido un asunto de mucho interés la relación ocasionalmente tensa entre "el pueblo y la academia", que en 1355 derivó en una revuelta con varios estudiantes universitarios muertos. A diferencia de su gran rival, Cambridge, Oxford es una ciudad industrial, asociada principalmente con la industria automotriz en el suburbio de Cowley.

Covent Garden is a district in London on the eastern fringes of the West End, between St. Martin's Lane and Drury Lane.[1] It is associated with the former fruit and vegetable market in the central square, now a popular shopping and tourist site, and the Royal Opera House, which is also known as "Covent Garden". The district is divided by the main thoroughfare of Long Acre, north of which is given over to independent shops centred on Neal's Yard and Seven Dials, while the south contains the central square with its street performers and most of the elegant buildings, theatres and entertainment facilities, including the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, and the London Transport Museum.
