Christmas Cards Exchange

Our children of 4th grade did an excellent activity for Christmas: they exchanged Xmas cards with children from Inverigo, Italy contacted by eTwinning (an international platform to develop collaborative projects and share ideas in Europe).
In these two pictures our 4th grade students have received the cards from Italy. As seen, they are very happy with the experience.

Winter Holidays!!!

It’s that time of year again when friends and family think about the Christmases of the past and plan for the coming holiday with their loved ones in mind. As we reflect on this wonderful holiday, we must keep in mind that Christmas is not just any holiday but may be the most important one of the year for some people. It is a time for remembering, a time to share the goodness of your heart with others, and for expressing with words and gifts what someone means to you. It is a chance to make wishes come true and to give something from your heart. It is a chance to give a message that will express love and caring to the ones we care about the most.

WELCOME FROM IRELAND!!!

CORK-BCN!!!         
  

As part of a job shadowing grant I am in Ireland for 2 months. The school's name is Brooklodge. It is in Glanmire, about 8 km from Cork.
I would like to show some of the activities we have completed.
Firstly we did a FOOD WORKSHOP. Children from Ireland asked for Spanish Omelette. And these are the results:

On the other hand teachers from Brooklodge and La Floresta agreed to have a Conference Call through skype all together. Both schools' students prepared a few questions they would want to know about each other. Children from Brooklodge also prepared a summary about important aspects they considered relevant such as hobbies, food, sports, buildings, school, weather, holidays...
To conclude with, they were very excited and motivated. They found the idea was fantastic!!!
