SPANISH CONSTITUTION DAY

Sixth class went to the local library to celebrate the Spanish Constitution Day. There was a play, an exhibition and a talk about a book. We also played some games.

OUR NEW SCHOOL PAINTING

We would like to thank Dos Hermanas City Hall the opportunity they gave us to paint a mural on the second floor of our school. Third, fourth and fifth class were in charged of the painting. They have painted a popular park in Dos Hermanas.





St.Nicholas

        We celebrated St. Nicholas Day as usual on the 6th of December. Older kids probably don't believe in Santa, because they had so much fun when two Santas interrupted one of our classes and gave the switch to the teacher. Our teacher, Mr. Czechowicz said "I will try the switch on naughty students!". It sounded cruel but funny at the same time. Unfortunately no one  got a gift from Santa Claus. Younger kids had awesome St. Nicholas Day. Santa Claus arrived in the afternoon and all the kids were excited. Their parents waited with them. Santa had a long, golden rod, just like a shepherd, white beard, and big bag full of gifts. When he came to our class kids smiled and welcomed him warmly. After singing the song everybody could get a present. There were no quizes or tests that day. We had really had a great time.

Now we can enjoy  snowy freezing weather and we are looking forward to Christmas.

SCIENCE EXHIBITION

Sixth class boys and girls have been studying energy sources. We have made electric circuits.  They are based on real things that require electricity. Some examples are: Eiffel Tower, traffic lights, windmill, swiming pool, parks, houses... Most of them were sprctacular.

HUMAN REPRODUCTION

Fourth class students have been studying human reproduction and their own biography. To understand it better they made individual and group posters. These decorated our corridor. They made oral presentations in the classroom to explain their project. Here there are some examples.
