Thanksgiving at School 2010

Now that we know about the history of Thanksgiving and how people in the U.S.A. celebrate, the students at C.E.I.P. Lope de Vega have done their own projects to give thanks and take part in the fun. Here are some pictures of their work:

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?
