Halloween Songs: Nightmare before Christmas & Monster Mash

Boys and girls of every age
wouldn't you like to see something strange/
Come with us and you will see,
this our town of Halloween
This is Halloween, this is Halloween,
pumpkins scream in the dead of night
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene,
trick or treat till the neighbours come and die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream,
in this town of Halloween
I am the one hiding under your bed,
teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
I am the one hiding under your stairs,
fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair
This is Halloween, this is Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
In this town we call home,
everyone hail to the pumpkin song
In this town, don't we love it now,
everybody's waiting for the next surprise
Round that corner, then,
hiding in the trash cans,
something's waiting now to pounce and how you'll..
Scream, this is Halloween,
red and black and slimy green,
Aren't you scared?
Well, that's just fine,
say it once, say it twice,
take a chance and roll the dice,
ride with the moon in the dead of night
Everybody scream, everybody scream,
in our town or Halloween.......

P.E. at the Beach in Burriana - Málaga

My homeroon 4ºESO A together with 3ºA-B and 4ºB

Today we have enjoyed an awesome day at the beach. We practiced P.E. at Burriana´s beach in Málaga with the teachers Alejandro Molina, MªÁngeles Malagón, Pepe Llinares and myself. We shared many games together and enjoyed typical Mediterranean food in the "Chiringuitos" (restaurants by the beach). What an excellent way to practice a class of P.E. at Lux Mundi School.
Besides, you all were great!! It was a real pleasure to enjoy it with you all!
Mr.García

• Con el verbo WISH (desearía o me gustaría, si el sujeto es "I" se puede traducir por "Ojalá"). 
• Con la expresión IF ONLY tiene el mismo significado y se puede traducir por "Ojalá"(sea cual sea su sujeto) o "Si al menos". IF ONLY is similar to I WISH but stronger.

 WISH/ if only + Past Simple(-ed/did)   [Refers to a  present situation - UNHAPPY speaker / dissatisfaction]

I wish I had bought the school yearbook ( Ojalá hubiera comprado el anuario del Colegio)
If only it hadn´t been so cold! (Ojalá no hubiera hecho tanto frío.)
