Inmaculada Festival

The most important day of the year for our school has arrived. On the 19th of December we celebrated Inmaculada's day with music, theatre and -of course- lots of fun!

After the mass, we could enjoy the play "Aladdin". It was outstanding! Here you can see the beautiful costumes and decoration we prepared:

After the play we could see the dances our classmates had prepared. Have a look! It was fantastic!

Congratulations for the hard work and a fantastic festival! Happy New Year everyone!

Autumn activities

Since school started back in September we have done various activities outside school. Here we tell you a bit about them:

First, we visited the library to learn about the lives of important women in history. It was very interesting!

After that, we went to the theatre to see a play about Antonio Fraguas, a galician writer who was honored this year's Letras Galegas.

 Finally, we visited an exposition of photographs about water in different forms. It was so enriching and interesting! We learnt a lot of new things.

And you? What have you been up to this Autumn? Tell us in the comments!

Welcome Autumn!!

Autumn is officially here! It's time to get cozy eating chestnuts and warm drinks.

Like every year, we celebrated our Magosto party this November. It was so much fun! We ate chestnuts and played lots of games.

We also celebrated Halloween with scary costumes and funny songs. How terrifying!!

We also made some murals to celebrate the arrival of the new season. You can see our creations above:

And you? How did you receive autumn this year?

Welcome to School! We visit the Mines of Kaolin

Last September we started a new school year.  Do you want to hear about one of the activities we did since the beginning of school?

Our pupils from 5th and 6th grade visited the Mines of Kaolin in Vimianzo, a small town near Santa Comba. There we learnt a lot about how kaolin is used in many products such as cosmetics, deodorant, paracetamol or shoes! A lot of things can be made from this material and learning it was more than impressive.

First we heard about the story of the mine and how it works:

Then we could see some objects  made from kaolin. Plastic bottles, marker pens, deodorant, different cosmetics...

 After that, we visited the mine and we saw how it works on the inside.

 We also touched some kaolin!

 It was such a great way to start school again! And you? Are you ready for an amazing school year?
