“Welcome to the Sanpa Times”


In this Winter edition of the 4th year`s Xanpa Times, we are going to give you unusual informa-
tion about some subjects that actually are of special interest. Furthermore, we have done a
great effort making these magazines because we wanted to assure that they could be a great
success.
As Seneca said, work and struggle always call to the best, so we have worked a lot asking people
with an important role in the school for documentation and personal photographs as well as
formatting the best way possible in order to make the magazine attractive. Xanpa Times includes
interesting and complete surveys about different issues such as Films, Alcohol, and Parties that
gives us an orientation of the world we live on.
As well as surveys, the magazine is completed with 20 news stories that have answered the Five
Ws (professor William Cleaver Wilkinson), because they are regarded as basics in information.
The objective of this magazine is to entertain calling the lector`s attention with an attractive
format and a veridical information.
Our final area of inquire, was to see whether we were able to work as a team, we have managed
to do it so please continue reading....

In this edition, you're going to find loads of bri-


lliant articles such as:

Surveys:
Music, Parties, Drugs, Tv...

News stories:
Students, Gossip, Teachers back(for your sorrow),
new material...

Unedited photos!
You're going to enjoy it for sure!

News Stories
Diabolos Around the School
Since classes started it seems as if a plague of “diabolos” had invaded our
school. Children between 4th primary and 4th year of E.S.O are playing with
these objects and achieving some incredible tricks.
It all started when some boys from the 4th year of E.S.O brought some of
them one day. Younger students saw them and now it has become a new
fashion in school. “It’s really incredible” says Marcos Areizaga, a 4th E.S.O
student.

From the outdoor to the indoor

This year some students form the forth year are playing
indoor football instead of the one we are used to. At
once they were going to make up a normal football
team, but as there weren’t enough people, they took
pot luck with the indoor football. That idea ended up
as being very attractive since two more teams made
up by girls from primary have signed up. “Firstly, we
weren’t very sure, but as we are having very good
results playing very well, we are really motivated”
said Eric, a player for the indoor football team.

because she had taken a sabbatical year for herself. Although being away
12 months, she didn’t leave Oiartzun, the city where she lives.
Instead of Pilar Goyoaga, Pilar Arsuaga gave the lessons. “It’s good to

Films, actors, actresses

These statistics represent that we all like the genre of the comedy the most

the films. We sometimes prefer to watch films
at home and other times, we enjoy watching
films in the cinema. The majority of us, have as

pretty. To conclude, we think that films in-

The truth about our TV habits


Adults are always complaining about our hours in front of the TV and what kind of
TV habits. They always say we watch too series and programs we watch. Our final

But is this really true, or are they just

questions about their TV habits and then

rious to see if teenagers spend too many

What kind of series/programs do you watch?


Action 15% Comedy 80% Crime 3%
Football 2%

We can see that the kind of programme most of us like to watch


is comedy. So why do our parents say that the programs we
watch are so horrible? Isn’t it good thing to laugh a little bit after
a hard day at school?

How often do you watch TV?


Twice a Week 13% Daily 87%

As the graph shows, here we’ve got a problem.


Most of us watch TV daily,
which can distract us a lot from our studies.
It would be a better
thing to reduce a little our time in front of the TV if we want
to get better moves at school.

Do you watch it primarily alone or with your family?


Both 48% Alone 33% Family 19%

Here we can see that there are moments in which we prefer


to watch alone, and moments in which we prefer to watch to
with our family, as nearly half of us have both habits

Do you have a TV in your room?


No 58% Yes 42 %

More than half of us don’t have a TV in our room, which is a po-


sitive thing if we want to reduce the number of hours in front of
the TV, but from another point of view, it can also be a negative
thing because then we’ll have to deal with our parents or bro-
thers/sisters to decide which programme to watch.

How many TV’s are there in your house?


Three 30% Two 22%
One 11% Seven 5%
Six 2% Five 11%
Four 20%

The graph shows that the majority of us have 3 TVs in


our house. But there are some of us that have up to se-
ven TVs (nea 5%) so in this case it wouldn’t be the
child’s fault if he watched too much TV, it would be the
parent’s fault, having an unnecessary number of TVs at
home.

Do you watch the news?


Yes 53% No 34% Sometimes 13%

Here there’s a great surprise: Most of us actually watch the news! So our
parent’s complaints about watching trash TV is just an exaggeration be-
cause most of us, more than half, watch the news at least sometimes. So
we are interested in what happens around the world, which is a sign that
we are not the anti-social group we are sometimes supposed to be.

What influences the type of programmes you watch?


Likes 75% Publicity 14% Actors 12%

Here we can see that our likes are most influential on each other regarding
the type of program we watch, and that advertisements only influence us
to a small degree which is a bit surprising.

The most popular style of song among teenagers is pop. But there is not much difference between
pop and rock which are separated by less than 3%. Hip-hop and techno are also pretty popular

TEENAGERS + DRUG = ADDICTION!

habits of alcohol and cannabis, because we all have. I’m not
referring to tedious articles in which they try to encourage young
people, especially teenagers, not take either alcohol or cannabis.
But to modern and up-to-date facts.
We went to a secondary school and asked 60 4th year students. We
have the answers to the most common questions but questions,
questions that have never answered until today. When you get to
the end of this article, you will know the truth abut what teenagers
do.

I can’t think of a reason for which teenagers do this, don’t they know
that drink and drugs aren’t the definition for fun? In my opinion they
do this to gain popularity, and because they think that like this they are
more mature. But the truth is that it’s very childish of them to think in
this way. The worst thing is that they don’t control it, and when they

We can see then that not a lot of people go to pubs/discos, maybe because we are not old
enough.

about what they though about their

not worried about that, also when we asked
the questions they answered with decision.

(16%) think they need to drink alcohol to

So there is an exchange of ideas, apart

Football Survey

People complain that the Premiership is better than the Spanish


league because of the players that they have. What do you think
about that?

In this survey we have tried to get the answers of these ques-


tions. What team do you support? Are we supporting the team of
our city or is it that we are starting to support teams that
attracts us because of the way they play?

We have done this research in the San Patrick‘s school (4 year


students, 68 students in total). The questions are related to our
taste about football but that is not all the statistics are compiled
based on the answers of the students. We hope you carry on rea-
ding and also that you enjoy this survey.

The Truth About the Relationship Between


Students and Teachers
A lot of us think that if there isn’t any problem bet ween a
teacher and a student, everything is perfect. But do we
really know what students think about their teachers or
the exams they have to pass?
In this survey we decided to try to get to the bottom of
this thorny issue. So are some of the stereotypical things
students say true?
We asked the whole of the fourth year (68 students in to-
tal) some questions related to the school teachers and then
made some graphs with the results. We hope you find them
interesting.

Which teachers do you think is the funniest?


10%9% As we can see, a lot of students think Chema is the most amusing teacher

(31%), but other people like Josemi or Josean seem to get on well with
12% their pupils.

Which teacher do you think sets more homework?


As the chart shows, the majority of people (31 %) think that Reyes has to
reduce the amount of homework she sets. However, we can also see the-
re are many different opinions between students.

Do you think a teacher has picked on you sometimes? If so who?


In this case most students think that a teacher had picked on them but it appears not to be a particular
teacher who picks on students as “others” agroups the majority (22%). However, Alazne is for stu-
dents a teacher who often picks on her pupils.

Which teacher do you think makes the most difficult exams?


As we can see, a lot of students find Simon’s exams the most difficult ones
(22.05%). This pie chart shows, as the previous, that not all of the inter-
viewed agree in a particular teacher.

Which teacher do you think punish students most?


In this case, the biggest amount of the interviewed agrees
Chema punishes quite a lot (45.58%). New teachers in the
third year like Mac, also punishes a lot. 13% 9%
13%
Alazne 19% Chema 46% MAC 13% 19%
Simon 13% Others 9%

46%

These statistics are remarkable for any reasons, but what stands
out most is that they serve to show what students talk about rela-
ted to their teachers when they are not listening to their teachers.
The first pie chart shows that Chema is the funniest teacher whe-
reas the third one shows Alazne as a strict teacher. This survey
also advise you to study a lot for Simon’s exams or shows that
many students have been the teachers pet

We do know that not all the teachers are going to agree with some
results but what we don’t want to do is to make teachers argue in
the staff room.
