Día de Andalucía


Happy Andalusia Day!

The students at C.E.I.P Lope de Vega celebrated Andalusia Day this past Thursday, February 24 although the real day is the 28th of February. Students from the third cycle (5th and 6th grade) prepared poetry readings, a short theater performance, traditional Andalusian songs and dances and even an original chirigota for carnival, all performed in Casariche's newly reformed municipal theater. We all enjoyed watching our fellow students in this very original celebration of Andalusia.


Aside from the fantastic performance, the students of sixth grade C prepared a museum of Andalusian antiques. Here are some of the pictures from this beautiful exposition of yesteryear.
Enjoy!

Friends of the forest

In third grade, as part of the Comenius project, we all put our heads together to write a play about the importance of taking care of nature and our forests. Now we're practicing non-stop to be able to perform for our visitors from France, Poland and Ireland in March. Here's the script we wrote.
Enjoy!

Entre todos los de tercero, escribimos la siguiente obra de teatro. Ahora la estamos ensayando sin parar para poder enseñarla a los maestros de intercambio de Francia, Polonia, e Irlanda que vienen en marzo con el proyecto Comenius.
¡Disfrútala!

Be water

Be water
We're learning about matter in fifth grade bilingual science. We learned about the different states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. And we also learned about the properties of liquids: fixed volume, but no fixed shape. Liquids change shape according to their container. We watched this clip of Bruce Lee talking about water. Can you understand it without reading the subtitles?



What does he mean when he says, "Be water, my friend"?
