SHAKESPEARE AND CERVANTES AT NORBA SCHOOL

Miguel de Cervantes (1547–1616) and William Shakespeare (1564 –1616) were probably the greatest and most influencial writers in Western civilization. They both improved literature and enriched their languages. They created unforgettable characters and stories that have survived for centuries. Norba students of English are prepearing an exhibition to try to show different aspects of William Shakespeare: his life, his age and the great influence of his work.

Leap year

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A leap year (also known as an intercalary year or a bissextile year) is a year containing one additional day (or, in the case of lunisolar calendars, a month) added to keep thecalendar year synchronized with the astronomical or seasonal year.^[1] Because seasons and astronomical events do not repeat in a whole number of days, calendars that have the same number of days in each year drift over time with respect to the event that the year is supposed to track. By inserting (also called intercalating) an additional day or month into the year, the drift can be corrected. A year that is not a leap year is called a common year.
