AVICII

Hi Children! How are you?
My days on vacations are almost finished. I will  come back to school soon. So, I would like to give  you a small gift. Do you know AVICII...?
Enjoy yourself!

Feeling my way through the darkness

Guided by a beating heart

I can´t tell where the journey will end

But I know where to start

They tell me I´m too young to understand

They say I´m caught up in a dream

Life will pass me by if I don´t open up my eyes

Well that´s fine by me

So wake me up

When it´s all over

When I´m wiser

And I´m older

All this time I was finding myself

And I didn´t know I was lost

I tried carrying the weight of the world

But I only have two hands

Hope I get the chance to travel the world

But I don´t have any plans

Wish that I could stay forever this young

Not afraid to close my eyes

Life´s a game made for everyone

And love is the prize.

(La traducción no es muy buena. Estoy segura que podéis mejorarla)

Sintiendo mi camino a través de la oscuridad
Guiados por un corazón que late
No puedo decir dónde terminará el viaje
Pero sé por dónde empezar
Me dicen que soy demasiado joven para entender
Dicen que estoy atrapado en un sueño
La vida se  me va a pasar si no abro mis ojos
Bueno, eso está bien para mí
Así que despiértame
Cuando todo haya terminado
Cuando soy más sabio
Y yo soy más viejo
Todo este tiempo me estaba encontrando a mí mismo
Y yo no sabía que estaba perdido
He intentado llevar el peso del mundo
Pero sólo tengo dos manos
Espero tener la oportunidad de viajar por el mundo
Pero yo no tengo ningún plan
Ojalá que yo pudiera quedarme para siempre siendo este  joven
  sin tener miedo de cerrar los ojos
La vida es un juego hecho para todo el mundo
Y el amor es el premio

Hi guys! How are vacations going?
El inicio de curso está ya cerca y es por ello que os he colgado en el blog una página que quizás os interese mucho, sobre todo a los que dáis el salto al Instituto.
Cuando pinchéis en la foto de Silvia y mía que está a vuestra derecha aparecerá directamente esa página. En ella encontraréis, si bajáis un poquitín, una gramática muy simple pero muy completa.
Seguid disfrutando de vuestro merecido descanso.
As usual, enjoy yourselves!

What a beautiful town! The magazine

     A los más mayores os están entregando una pequeña revista con las notas. Se llama DOORBELL, que significa literalmente "llamador". Se eligió este nombre porque queremos con ello hacer una llamada de atención a toda la comunidad educativa.
    Por si alguien aún lo desconoce, os diremos   que el Centro cuenta con una sección bilingüe en el 3º Ciclo de Primaria. ¿Qué significa esto? Pues que los alumnos de 5º y 6º de Primaria, además de sus tres horas semanales de inglés, reciben la asignatura de Art (Plástica) en inglés; y parte del horario de  Science (Conocimiento del Medio), también en ingles.
    Para el nuevo curso, además del 3º Ciclo, intentamos ampliar el proyecto bilingüe al 1º y 3º curso de Primaria. Ya hemos enviado el proyecto a la Junta de Extremadura  solicitándolo y estamos a la espera de una respuesta afirmativa.
   De momento, os dejamos con algunas de las actividades que realizamos el curso pasado en el área de inglés y sobre todo en la sección bilingüe.

Bye-bye Caitlin.

Good luck, Caitlin! 

We can... TITANIC

Go on....

  Every night in my dreams

I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you
go on
Far across the distance
And spaces Between us
You have come to show you
go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart and
My heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go 'til
we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always
go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart and
My heart will go on and on
love hear, there's nothing appear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart and
My heart will go on and on

Very well done Adán!

Los alumnos de 4º han estado confeccionando un mural con los edificios más importantes que se pueden encontrar en una ciudad. Posteriormente han escrito frases en inglés contando algo sobre esos edificios.

Very well done, children!

Days of farewells

Today was a day of farewells:
- We said goodbye to our students in practice. They were with us for three months.
Carolina in her last class with the pre-primary students.

- Francisco in his last class with the  4th grade.

 - Caitlin will be with us for a week more but our old students will  be not in the school next week. They will go to Granada so today was a farewell day for them, too.

Good luck! You will be inside our hearts for ever.

Spanish History

We are going to introduce ourselves in the Spanish history. 
 

The ways of the water in the Roman Mérida.

A project about the water in a Roman town called Augusta Emerita. 

We have made a project about the water way in the Roman Mérida.
We drew nine  roman monuments related with water.  After this, we looked for information about them and we wrote some small paragraphs in English.
We are learning French, too. So we translated into   French, too.
Of course, we couldn´t forget our nice native language so we wrote them in Spanish.
This is the result: We hope you can know our beautiful town a little bit more!

The way of the water in the Roman Mérida.

Publish at Calameo or read more publications.

And this is a book our more important Roman monuments. 

Students illustrated  it with paintings and Teresa  illustrated it with photos.

School day

Today we celebrated school day in the school playground. The topic was: The Middle Age.
We danced, drew, painted, played, through balls to the dragon...

It was a fantastic day. Congratulations to all of you.

St. George´s day

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland uses as its national flag the royal banner known as the Union Flag or Union Jack — technically the latter term, although the more common name for the flag, refers to its use as naval jack when flown at sea. The current design of the flag dates from the union of Ireland and Great Britain in 1801. It consists of the red cross of Saint George (patron saint of England), edged in white, superimposed on the Cross of St Patrick (patron saint of Ireland), which are superimposed on the Saltire of Saint Andrew (patron saint of Scotland). Wales, however, is not represented in the Union Flag by Wales' patron saint, Saint David, as at the time the flag was designed Wales was part of the Kingdom of England.

Heritage day.

| Start your own Photo Books | Create custom Christmas Cards

Today was Heritage day. In Mérida each school has to adopt a monument. We have adopted "The our Lady of Antigua chapel" which is near to our school.It is obviously how we got our name.

    Today we celebrated with  a medieval market

situated near the monument. The goal was to involve our   community  so that we all can learn to appreciate  the monuments left behind by our ancestors.

THE CHAPEL "NTRA. SRA. DE LA ANTIGUA".
     The Chapel "Ntra. Sra. de la Antigua" is one of the most famous building of the city. It has survived  many difficult situations.
    The emeritense historian, Moreno de vargas, wrote History of Mérida city in 1633, in which tells that the monastery Ntra. Sra. de la Antigua of the barefoot friars of Saint Francis Order was founded in 1576. Firstly, it was situated in The Santisima Trinidad Chapel, but as it had lack of water, later the monastery moved to the Sumptuous Antigua Chapel in 1578.
   

  The image of the Virgin was in the altar. People were very devoted to the Virgin and she was taken into procession, in which all the city took part. They asked for rain to the Virgin in order to avoid diseases and epidemics.
     The chapel was away from the city so the spiritual life was centred in religious services of the friars and some acts that took place in certain festivities.
     The chapel has always had problems with the floodings of the Albarregas river. In 1638, one of theses floodings brought down the walls of their gardens. This chapel had a large cloister convent, whose remains are still preserved. The convent became hermitage again when friars left it.
During years it was in private hands, then it was renovated in 2006 and it became a place of cultural events. Some years ago was ceded to the Catholic Church.
I     n 2011, The School " Ntra Sra de la Antigua"  adopted the Chapel of " Ntra.  Sra. de la Antigua".

Holy Week in Dublin.

 Holy Week in Dublin. By Caitlin.

¡Hola chicos! 
He querido hacer una entrada con lo que Caitlin nos enseñó de su viaje a Dublín. Ahora conocemos un poquito más ese pequeño, pero precioso país, que es Irlanda. 
Gracias Caitlin.

I had an incredible time there!  Dublin is a city rich with history ranging from the Celtic tribes to Viking influence to producing some of the most famous authors to date.  I went to many museums and learned a lot about Ireland and Dublin which was so fascinating and thoroughly enjoyed my time there.  I unfortunately was unable to photos of what I saw inside the museum since it was prohibited but I will describe the highlights of my trip as best I can.

My first day there I went to Trinity College which is well-known for its library and Book of Kells exhibit.  The Book of Kells is a manuscript of the Four Gospels from the New Testament from the year 800.  It is considered to be one of the most important Irish manuscripts because the technique and decorations are so precise and so masterfully crafted.  It is the epitome of Celtic design including Celtics knots and interlacing.  The book is also a wonderful example of calligraphy.  It was written on vellum which back then was calf-hide and inks and dyes that they used were made of semi-precious stones like lapis lazuli for that rich blue.  

Trinity College and Library

Flood spring.

It is said that one image is more valuable than one thousand words so I will no add any text to this entrance.
I hope you enjoy yourself!

What a beautiful country!

Chicos actualmente nuestro nuevo país imaginario está como lo podéis ver.

How a beautiful garden!

By 6th grade

A Holy Week from Spain.
