1. Save water: Take a shower, not a bath
2. Save fuel: Carpool
3. Recycle
4. Don't litter
5. Use solar energy
6. Switch off the lights when you leave a room

And these are the posters we made in 5th grade:

A Trip to the Emerald Isle!

"The Emerald Isle" is Ireland's nickname. Can you guess why?? Here's a clue: emeralds are green stones... Ireland is a very green country! Eire is the Galic name for Ireland. Galic is the language that Irish people speak. In Ireland there are two official languages: English and Galic. The schools in Ireland are bilingual (just like in Casariche), they learn Galic and English.

Last week three teachers from C.E.I.P. Lope de Vega, Juan Jesus, Alvaro and Jesus, visited Ireland. They went as part of an exchange program through the school called Comenius. For five days they visited an Irish school and toured Dublin, the capital city. They had a great time and practiced their English a lot!

In March some teachers from the Irish school will visit us here in Casariche. We look forward to their visit. :) Undoubtbly, this trip was a very positive experience for our teachers and we hope that it is a positive experience for our new Irish friends when they visit us.

Have a look at some of the pictures that the teachers took on their trip!

Here are Alvaro and Juan Jesus at the airport in Ireland! And below is a picture of Jesus and Juan Jesus outside Trinity College in Dublin. Trinity College is the oldest university in Ireland!

Here are some pictures from the Primary school in Ireland. You can see it's not so different from our own.

Here are some pupils in the gym. At their school, they must wear uniforms. Do you like uniforms? Would you like a uniform at your school? Is it a good idea?

Here is some work that the students have done in class. They celebrated Halloween, too! There is also information about autumn and recycling.

Finally, these are some pictures that the teachers took in their free time while they were visiting monuments around the city. This is a suit of armor at the Museum of Modern Art in Dublin. Do you like museums? What museums have you visited?

This is a bridge over the river Liffy. It's the only river in Dublin.

What animals are these? Do you know the name? These are deer in Phoenix Park just three kilometers away from Dublin. These are wild deer. The park is very big: 712 hectacres!

What do you think of Ireland? Do you like the pictures? Would you like to visit Ireland? What is the weather like in Ireland? Can you tell from the pictures?

Halloween

This week we're celebrating Halloween at C.E.I.P. Lope de Vega. Have you ever wondered where the holiday comes from? Have a look at this presentation to find out!

Have a Happy Halloween!

Ésta semana celebramos Halloween en las clases de inglés del colegio. ¿Alguna vez te has preguntado de dónde viene esta fiesta tan particular? ¡Averígualo con esta presentación!

¡Feliz Halloween!

Welcome students of West Walker Primary School

Bienvenidos a todos, alumnos y alumnas y personal docente de West Walker Primary School, en la bonita ciudad de Newcastle-upon -Tyne.

Nuestro colegio, el C.E.I.P. Lope de Vega, situado en el pequeño y acogedor pueblo de Casariche (Sevilla), está encantado de estar en contacto con vosotros y poder seguir trabajando durante el año próximo. En los blogs solemos colgar fotos, imágenes de los trabajos y exámenes, y excursiones que se realizan a lo largo del curso. Esperamos que os guste y deseamos que vosotros nos mandéis también fotos y proyectos para conocer vuestro colegio y vuestra ciudad.

Un saludo y un abrazo fuerte de nuestro colegio.

Good bye!

Este jueves, 27 de mayo nos hemos despedido de nuestros dos auxiliares de conversaci

ón: Kristen Koning y Viola Wilbanks. Se lo hemos pasado muy bien con las dos y las echarémos mucho de menos en estas semanas que quedan del curso.

Sin embargo, las dos van a repetir la experiencia de auxiliar, incluso Viola volverá a incorporarse en nuestro centro el curso que viene.

Kristen se va a Madrid para explorar y conocer mejor la capital y nuestro país.

A Kristen la deseamos suerte en el próximo curso y confiamos que aportará tanto al centro donde está destinada como ha hecho este curso aquí en el C.E.I.P. Lope de Vega. Esperemos que vuelva el año que viene de visita y desde

aquí queremos que sepa que siempre tiene casa en Casariche.

Hasta pronto.

Thursday May 27, we said good bye to both of our English Language Assistants, Viola Wilbanks and Kristen Koning. We have had lots of fun with both of them throughout the school year and we will miss them in the few weeks left of the semester.

However, both Viola and Kristen will be repeating their experience as Language Assistants next year. Viola will be coming back to work here at C.E.I.P. Lope de Vega in October of the coming school year; and Kristen is moving to Madrid to explore more of Spain and the capital city.

The small party at school on Thursday was a celebration that Viola is repeating at our school, and a going away party for Kristen. We wish her the best for the coming school year. The students and staff of C.E.I.P Lope de Vega will miss her next year, but we are certain that she will have a wonderful experience and bring as much to the classrooms of the capital as she has to those of our own school.

We look forward to a visit next year and want to let her know that she has a home in Casariche.

Good luck and see you soon!

Desde aquí quiero dar las gracias a todos los que han trabajado tanto para que el Spelling Bee de este año fuera de tanto éxito.

Mil gracias.

Congratulations to the three finalists of this year's First Annual All-School Spelling Bee!

This past Thursday, 20th May, we at C.E.I.P (Centro Escolar de Infantil and Primaria) Lope de Vega witnessed the final showdown between contestants from each cycle of Primary School. Our representatives were from second grade, fourth grade and sixth grade. The final round of this year's Spelling Bee was just as exciting as the previous ones, and this time the whole school watched as our three contestants gave everything they had to be school champion.

I want to give a heartfelt congratulations to the students of C.E.I.P. Lope de Vega for all their hard work and study since the beginning of this contest in April. The first graders (and a few other classes) didn't even know their ABC's at the beginning, nonetheless, they were spelling with the best of them by the end of a month. GREAT JOB!

I would also like to thank all of those members of the school community whose permission, assistance, ideas and collaboration made this event possible and made the final round such a success.

Thank you very much!

First cycle contestant: Juan Rodríguez Domínguez

Second cycle contestant: Dylan Barrero Averland

Third cycle contestant: Mª Carmen Graciano España

Bilingual Projects:

Este es el pirámide de los alimentos hecho en la sección bilingüe de conocimiento del medio en 4ºA.

Estos son unos de los trabajos más bonitos de 6ºC que hicieron los alumnos para la celebración del Día del Libro. Son poesías del famoso poeta andalúz, Juan Ramón Jiménez, escrito en español e inglés.

These are some of the best projects that 6ºC made to celebrate National Book Day. They are poems by the famous Andalusian poet, Juan Ramón Jiménez, from his book Platero and I. The students wrote the poem in Spanish alongside its English translation and illustrated each one.

Congratulations!

Enhorabuena a todos los alumnos que han participado en la ronda preliminaria de nuestro concurso de deletrear y especialmente a los que han pasado a la primera ronda oral.

Special recognition for the students in 2ºB, 4ºA, 6ºC. Each of these classes ended the first round with various finalists!

Celebrating Book Day--April 23rd

El 23 de abril, como bien sabemos, es el día del libro. Como centro bilingüe, los auxiliares de conversación, Kristen y Viola, han ido a muchas clases de infantíl hasta sexto para leer cuentos en inglés. Aquí hay algunos de los libros que hemos leído.

April 23rd is National Book Day. To celebrate books and reading, Kristen and Viola (auxiliares de inglés) have been holding reading groups from pre-school through sixth grade. These are some of the stories we've read:

This is a poetry book by Andalusian author, Juan Ramon Jiménez. He lived in Moguer, Huelva. We have a bilingual edition of the book and the sixth graders are making bilingual murals with excerpts from the book (photos forthcoming).

Owl is very silly! Had lots of fun reading about his adventures in this collection of five stories.

What happens when a crocodile has a toothache?? Find out with this fun book.

Can girls and boys play together?? This story is all about getting along with each other at school.

Practice prepositions with Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf! :)

Fun Fact: Did you know that Book Day is celebrated on the 23rd of April because it's the day that Miguel de Cervantes and William Shakespeare died? Cervantes was a very important Spanish author from the Spanish Golden Age. William Shakespeare was a very important poet and play write from Elizabethan England.

All-School Spelling Bee

Como parte de las celebraciones para el día de Europa, los alumnos de C.E.I.P. Lope de Vega están preparando un concurso de deletrear en inglés. Todos están ensayando el abecedario inglés y estudiando mucho.

¡Suerte a todos!

As part of our Europe Day celebrations, the students of C.E.I.P. Lope de Vega are practicing their ABC's and brushing up on vocabulary to prepare for the first ever, all-school Spelling Bee.

There will be contests first at the class level, then in each cycle (first and second grade, third and fourth, fifth and sixth), and finally we will hold a competition to decide the school spelling champion on Europe Day.

Good Luck!
