			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Carrying on the theme from our own school&#8217;s verse speaking competition today, this week&#8217;s song of the week differs from our usual ballads and pop songs. </strong><em><strong>Grand Corps Malade</strong></em><strong> is famous in France for being a leading Slam artist.  <span id="more-1211"></span>Slam is a form of spoken word which is generally set to varying sorts of music. </strong><em><strong>Grand Corps Malade</strong></em><strong> is so named due to an accident in his early years which has left him unable to walk without a walking stick.  His songs are generally very political and contain rich vocabulary including lots of </strong><em><strong>verlan</strong></em><strong> (back slang). </strong><em><strong>Midi 20</strong></em><strong> describes his journey from childhood to adulthood describing the effect of his accident on his life.<!--more--><br />

<p style="text-align: center;">Je suis né tôt ce matin, juste avant que le soleil comprenne<br />
Qu’il va falloir qu’il se lève et qu’il prenne son petit crème<br />
Je suis né tôt ce matin, entouré de plein de gens bien<br />
Qui me regardent un peu chelou et qui m’appellent Fabien<br />
Quand le soleil apparaît j’essaie de réaliser ce qu’il se passe<br />
Je tente de comprendre le temps et j’analyse mon espace<br />
Il est 7 heures du mat’ sur l’horloge de mon existence<br />
Je regarde la petite aiguille et j’imagine son importance<br />
Pas de temps à perdre ce matin, je commence par l’alphabet<br />
Y’a plein de choses à apprendre si tu veux pas finir tebé<br />
C’est sûr, je serais pas un génie mais ça va y’a pire<br />
Sur les coups de 7 heures et demie j’ai appris à lire et à écrire<br />
La journée commence bien, il fait beau et je suis content<br />
Je reçois plein d’affection et je comprends que c’est important<br />
Il est bientôt 9 heures et demi et j’aborde l’adolescence<br />
En pleine forme, plein d’envie et juste ce qu’il faut d’insouciance<br />
Je commence à me la raconter, j’ai plein de potes et je me sens fort<br />
Je garde un peu de temps pour les meufs quand je suis pas en train de faire du sport<br />
Emploi du temps bien rempli, et je suis à la bourre pour mes rencards<br />
Putain la vie passe trop vite, il est déjà 11 heures moins le quart</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Celui qui veut me viser, je lui conseille de changer de cible<br />
Me toucher est impossible, à 11 heures je me sens invincible<br />
Il fait chaud, tout me sourit, il manquait plus que je sois amoureux<br />
C’est arrivé sans prévenir sur les coups d’11 heures moins 2<br />
Mais tout à coup, alors que dans le ciel, y’avait pas un seul nuage<br />
A éclaté au-dessus de moi un intolérable orage<br />
Il est 11 heures 08 quand ma journée prend un virage<br />
Pour le moins inattendu alors je tourne mais j’ai la rage<br />
Je me suis pris un éclair comme un coup d’électricité<br />
Je me suis relevé mais j’ai laissé un peu de mobilité<br />
Mes tablettes de chocolat sont devenues de la marmelade<br />
Je me suis fait à tout ça, appelez moi Grand Corps Malade<br />
Cette fin de matinée est tout sauf une récréation<br />
A 11 heures 20 je dois faire preuve d’une bonne dose d’adaptation<br />
Je passe beaucoup moins de temps à me balader rue de la Rép’<br />
Et j’apprends à remplir les papiers de la Cotorep<br />
J’ai pas que des séquelles physiques, je vais pas faire le tho-my<br />
Mais y’a des cicatrices plus profondes qu’une trachéotomie<br />
J’ai eu de la chance je suis pas passé très loin de l’échec et mat<br />
Mais j’avoue que j’ai encore souvent la nostalgie de 10 heures du mat’</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">A midi moins le quart, j’ai pris mon stylo bleu foncé<br />
J’ai compris que lui et ma béquille pouvaient m&#8217;aider avancer<br />
J’ai posé des mots sur tout ce que j’avais dans le bide<br />
J’ai posé des mots et j’ai fait plus que combler le vide<br />
J’ai été bien accueilli dans le cercle des poètes du bitume<br />
Et dans l’obscurité, j’avance au clair de ma plume<br />
J’ai assommé ma pudeur, j’ai assumé mes ardeurs<br />
Et j’ai slamé mes joies, mes peines, mes envies et mes erreurs<br />
Il est midi 19 à l’heure où j’écris ce con d’texte<br />
Je vous ai décrit ma matinée pour que vous sachiez le contexte<br />
Car si la journée finit à minuit, il me reste quand même pas mal de temps<br />
J’ai encore tout l’après-midi pour faire des trucs importants<br />
C’est vrai que la vie est rarement un roman en 18 tomes<br />
Toutes les bonnes choses ont une fin, on ne repousse pas l’ultimatum<br />
Alors je vais profiter de tous les moments qui me séparent de la chute<br />
Je vais croquer dans chaque instant, je ne dois pas perdre une minute<br />
Il me reste tellement de choses à faire que j’en ai presque le vertige<br />
Je voudrais être encore un enfant mais j’ai déjà 28 pijes<br />
Alors je vais faire ce qu’il faut pour que mes espoirs ne restent pas vains<br />
D’ailleurs je vous laisse, là c’est chaud, il est déjà midi 20.</p>

<p>&#8220;Gregoire has everything a man could want -- a loving wife, adorable children and a job as a film producer. Yet as the debts continue to pile up and his future projects begin to look uncertain, all seems lost for Gregoire. Unable to cope any longer, his final act of desperation has devastating consequences for all around him. A moving film which asks the question, how much do we ever really know about those we love?&#8221;</p>
<p>See Mrs Moorhouse for more details.</p>

</strong></p>
<p>Described by Broadway as &#8220;a film so inventive, visually distinctive and utterly charming that it could only have come from Jean-Pierre Jeunet, director of <em>Delicatessen</em> and <em>Amélie</em>. It’s a thrilling comedy centred around a group of misfits who plan to bring down two big arms manufacturers. Jeunet continues to be endlessly inventive in his story telling and Micmacs is a perfect balance of visual feast, edge-of-the-seat plot and witty wordplay.&#8221;</p>

<p>Below are some of the <a id="aptureLink_rBqlP9d4uH" href="http://www.voki.com/">Vokis</a> that the boys produced while being filmed for a forthcoming programme which will be aired in the Summer Term on <a id="aptureLink_B0c2FLVHEB" href="http://www.teachers.tv/">Teachers TV</a>. Why not leave your comment on the side? What have they done well? Do you have any advice on how to write speak and write more complex Spanish?</p>

<p><em>&#8220;<a id="aptureLink_1dj4yP4tnC" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castile%20and%20Le%C3%B3n">Castile and León</a> is the cradle of the Spanish language, and also a living museum of Spanish culture which accommodates over half of Spain&#8217;s historical-artistic heritage. Castile and León is also a student region, with two of the oldest Universities in Europe, <a id="aptureLink_rvW8UPmEfr" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University%20of%20Salamanca">Salamanca</a> and <a id="aptureLink_6HB1RNuuCb" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University%20of%20Valladolid">Valladolid</a>. Furthermore, the region has historically specialized in the research of the Spanish language and teaching it to foreign students.</em></p>
<p><em>Especially in those two cities, but also in Avila, Burgos or Soria, schools that teach Spanish are dedicated to teaching the language in the most efficient and intensive way, but also, and most importantly, to offer students a comprehensive experience with lots of cultural and leisure activities, so students won’t have to wonder what to do to make the most of their stay.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>We want British students and teachers to know more about us, and that’s why we’re going to be in Nottingham on February 22nd alongside some of the most prominent schools in the teaching of Spanish to foreign students. You’ll learn more about Castile and León: our geography, history, economy, tourism, customs and traditions, gastronomy and wines, cultural routes…</p>
<p><em>But no, we don’t want to make this a simple classroom presentation… We’ve prepared a little party for you to taste some of our most exquisite gastronomic products: Iberian ham, chorizo and lomo, cheese from Zamora, Spanish omelette, and wines (red, rosé and white), which are such an important part of our popular culture. You’ll be able to chat with the people in charge of Spanish schools and ask them anything you might want to know about our Spanish courses.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><strong>There will be a raffle at the event (to participate you need to sign up beforehand with Mrs Moorhouse) the prize for which is a two-week intensive course in Spain including full board accommodation. </strong></p>
