Clay plaques

In year 4 as part of our Project about animals we have made these beautiful plaques using clay.

We make English Scones

One of the highlights of the second term was making English Scones. This was part of our Project about food.

Celebrating Book Day

In Spain, schools celebrate Book Day on 23rd April. We usually have special events around this date.

Today, years 3 and 4 had the chance to get a special visit, a writer came to our library and she told us about her book, which most of us had read before. 

She answered our questions about the book and the story. 

We were excited because it was the first time we could talk to a real author.

At the end of the session she signed our books.


It has been a good start of the celebration of Book Day!

End of the second term

We started our Easter holidays last Friday 27th March. We have some routines for the last week. We write a report and remember the things we have done during the term, we   get our marks and  some diplomas (spelling diplomas...). 

This year, to celebrate the end of the second term we brought some musical instruments to school and had a nice time with our school mates. Some of us also told some jokes.

We'll go back to school and will start the last term on 7th April. Happy Easter! 

Videoconference with Pilton Bluecoat Jr. School

Last week (26th, 27th February) classes 4A and 4B  had a videoconference with two classes in Pilton Bluecoat Jr. School (Barnstaple, England) using Skype.
The main topic of our videoconference was food, the topic we have just finished in Science.

Before the day of the videoconference we had prepared 10 questions  and sent them by email. 

They also sent 10 questions to us and we answered them in class.

Some of the questions we asked were: "Do you know any Spanish foods?", "Do you have lunch at school?" "What time do you have your meals?", etc.

We have learnt that some traditional English foods are fish and chips, bangers and mash, which is sausages and mashed potatoes, roast turkey with gravy, stuffing balls and vegetables,...

We have some things in common, some children have breakfast at the same time, here in Segovia and in Barnstaple, our favourite foods (pasta,...), we like cooking and we have some differences too, especially the times of the meals.

We think this activity is very good to learn from other cultures, also for our English though the sound wasn't perfect and the students in Pilton Bluecoat spoke a bit fast, but that's probably because they were as nervous as we were. Next time we'll speak slowly. 

Peace Day Joint Mural

And here you are, the final masterpiece in the main hall:

The explanation of the work in English and Spanish on both sides of the mural: 

The Kandinsky circles are displayed in different places in the school: classroom doors, corridors...as a reminder of their meaning. We hope you like our work! 

Joint Mural for Peace Day- Kandinsky Art

Next week on the 30th of January 'El día de la Paz'-Peace day will be celebrated in schools across Spain. As part of this special day we are going to create a joint mural involving every student and teacher from primary 1 to 6. 

The inspiration for our work comes from the Russian painter Kandinsky. We have focused on his famous paintings featuring squares with concentric circles.

Each student will produce one square, which on its own can be beautiful,but when put together with the rest will hopefully produce a real work of art- thus proving that when we work together our results are stronger, brighter 

and bolder.

 A real result of cooperation.

 We used oil pastels to create our squares. We glazed them with white glue.
