Sicily - natural beauty and an equally rich history


By Antonia Borsa, Coordinating teacher: Melania Egyed, School: Samuil Vulcan National College

                   I have always been impressed by the landscape of  Sicily whenever I had the occasion to see it presented on T.V or in different films. And here I am giving my own opinion after I had the opportunity of my life to visit it and to have real, vivid impressions about the place.

'What's New on the News?' on the air, for the 2nd year.

Last February 24th 2016, a group of students from IES de Catabois and the coordinator of the Erasmus + project 'What's new on the news?' were interviewed at the COPE radio station in Ferrol, to continue with the series started in January 2015, during the first year of the project. Now, after a year and a half involved in it, we had lots more to tell.



It was a live programme with Ada Romero as the interviewer again.
This radio station has shown a great interest towards our project since its very beginning and it keeps in touch with us, collaborating in the dissemination of it. We are thankful for that!

THE DRONE INDUSTRY IN GALICIA.


By Pablo Rodeiro Rañales.
 
The Rozas Aerodrome is a private aerodrome in the municipality of Castro de Rey, about eight kilometres from the town of Lugo in the north of Galicia, Spain.
It was opened on 4th June, 1943. It is generally intended for sports aviation. The ground where it's installed belongs to the Ministry of Defence, but the airdrome is managed by the Royal Flying Club in Lugo.


The aerodrome was built by the Germans during the Second World War, with the purpose of providing quick maintenance to the antennas of the radio beacon Consol.
Once the battle was finished, the airdrome was recognized as an exceptional place for the creation of a larger airport. It was an airbase for some time, where there was a military garrison for aviation troops. In 1949, Rozas Aerodrome became the Central Airport in Galicia and it kept this status for 2 years , while the Santiago de Compostela airport was being built.

A mysterious animal


  by Bartłomiej Blacha and Karol Danielczyk from Bieruń, Poland

On the third day of our trip to Sicily we went to a very nice beach in Mondello. We put on our swimming costumes and started taking pictures. Suddenly, we saw a strange animal lying on the sand. It was quite small, just a few centimeters long, transparent with some blue elements. We didn’t know what it was. Our teacher warned us: “You’d better not touch this animal, please, be careful”, but it was too late. We had already touched it!
