WATER INSPECTION

-






When we arrived at the "CENTRE D'INTERPRETACIO DE LA NATURA QUART DE POBLET" it was raining and we were welcomed by a friendly woman named Sarah.

After we put our clothes away she explained to us how a riverbed is structured. The plants closest to the water are grasses they filter the water. 
The second stage consists of flexible plants like canes from china and local bushes that slow the water down. After that, she talked about big plants for example trees. We went on and analyzed the water quality by identifying the insects in the probes. In the room was also an aquarium with three turtles. One of them was always trying to escape. The tour was fun and formative. 






We went back to a cafe to sit out the rain.

  This day has finally arrived!  Today, nearly all the students of 4th from the subject of scientific culture and a little amount of 3rd have gone to Manises’ airport because… the exchange students are here! They arrived on different timetables, and each Spanish student has gone at a specific hour to pick them up.   Then, we all hung out together around Alaquàs and had dinner.   We’re so happy to have them with us.   We can’t wait to show them our town and make this week unforgettable!

  Our day started at 8:00 am at our school in Alaquas. Our meeting point was at the gym, and we were very tired because of our experiences of the last day.  When we were going to the town hall it was raining and we were glad to arrive at the town hall.  The major of Alaquas Toni Saura welcomes us at the plenary hall with the woman Marian Espert who is responsible for the social projects in Alaquas. They told us things about the population and the economy, we were very shocked that Alaquas have more or less than 30 000 citizens because cologne has around 8 million citizens. The fact that he told us that Alaquas created a new forest showed us that the politic in Alaquas cares about the environment and climate change. He also told us about the castle of Alaquàs, and that the historic monument is now used for festivals or meetings. Toni Saura told us something about his private life and that he was a teacher and become a major in 2019, he spoke with us and we took some pictur...
