Man Utd v Schalke Champions league semi-final
Don´t forget you football lovers out there. A huge game tomorrow night at 20.45 live on ITV 1. It appears a formality for Man Utd, but they need to be careful as the way they played on Sunday anything can happen, nevertheless as a United supporter I have faith in their ability and should be too strong for Schalke. Please add your views on the outcome!!!

SCHOOLS
Hi, We are moving to the area in the summer and wanted more information on schools in the area. I understand that there is a school in Benijofar and also one in Rojales. My children are 4 and 6.
Hi, Our children attend the schools in Rojales - one is at the institute (high school) and one at the junior school. My youngest has been at the junior school since she was 4 when we moved to Spain and I have always been very happy with the standards there. You have to sometimes accept that things are done differently here. My son is due to leave this year to go to the Institute. I think if you go along to the school (they only speak Spanish so you will need a translator if you dont!) - they will advise you what you need to register.
We put our lad into this school when we first came to Spain he was 13 and did not speak a word of Spanish. His first lesson was History and it was all in Spanish not a word of English was spoken, after 6 months he was fluent and is now a professional translator back in the U.K
He went thought some very frustrating times but it made a man of him and has help him no end for the future.
There are also plenty of opportunities for the children to do sports eg football, gymnastics, tennis outside of school at the polideportivos (sports centres) in Benijofar and Rojales. Both have great football teams for the boys and I believe girls!
My children go to the junior school in Benijofar and we are more than happy with it. The only downside we have is that there is no lunch facility there so the children have to come home whereas from what I hear if they go to Rojales they can stay for lunch.
Hello Sarah, My name is Anita and I work at the Berlingua International School in Ciudad Quesada. We are located about 5 mins from Benijofar. Our language school teaches people of all ages to learn spanish. We have an excellent track record for preparing children for their academic classes.

Hi Karen,
We have been living in Almoradi only for a few months and we love it dearly. Our children are too young for school, but have heard the education here is very good. My husband is on contract work and I look after the kids. When we are all together we spend lots of quality time together. Jenny

Rheumatoid Arthritis Relief - Massage Therapy For Managing Arthritic Pain
My first post Ia m going to talk about how to Manage Arthritic Pain.
Massage therapy will not cure rheumatoid arthritis but it will definitely offer a rheumatoid arthritis pain relief and will lessen the stress associated with it.
Why Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is considered one of the popular alternative or complementary rheumatoid arthritis treatments because:
- It lessens muscle tension so that stiffness and muscle pain is reduced.
- It promotes better blood flow.
- It improves joint movement and flexibility.
- It reduces inflammation and the pain that goes along with it.
- It is relaxing hence people don’t feel stressed out.
According to a recent study, massage therapy has helped to increase grip strength in the hands of people who suffer from arthritis. In a four week period, a massage was given once a week to participants in the study. In addition, the participants were asked to perform the same massage routine on a daily basis.
If there is any question that you want to know about, please feel free to ask,and I will answer as soon as possible.
Many thanks all of you for your support. Im here to help! :)
