Hello everyone!

Here we are your Italian friends! This year we have some difficulties to update the blog because there’s a news: our old school was demolished.

-Scrapping of the school-

“G. Marconi” Secondary School, in Maniago, is hosting us just for this school year. And we can’t go to the computer room during English classes because we share the classroom with lots of other students. It’s a very big school.

- Rebuilding of the school - WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A NEW SCHOOL VERY SOON!!!

 Children in our schools have received some letters from their Italian penfriends.  Children are so thankful for it that they want to write another letter to them.

Camino de Santiago

Every year all the pupils of CRA MONCALVILLO walk a part of Camino de Santiago.

This year they walked the first part, from Logroño to Navarrete.

We started the way in The Science House of Logroño.  Then we went through the old part of Logroño where we could see The Parliament building, The Oca´s Game, Santiago´s Church…

Everybody walked and walked until we arrived to The Grajera´s Natural Park where we had our snacks.  When we got some energy, we started our way to Navarrete, again.

By the way the view was very nice, we saw many different plants.

When we arrived to Navarrete, Andrés told us a story about a ruined hospital where many years ago people found coins.  So we went there to look for some coins.  And it was true, some lucky boys and girls found some coins.

Finally we had lunch and played in a big park of Navarrete.

We were tired but it was very  fun!!

Sports day in Sorzano

On February, 15th, children from CRA Cameros and CRA Moncalvillo celebrated a Sports Day in Sorzano.
We played some traditional games with sticks and plastics bags. We learnt to orienteering too and we made a Potato.
The day was rainny and cloudy, but we enjoyed it a lot.

THANKS TO OUR FRIENDS IN ITALY!!!

Inmersión Lingüística en Cabárceno

Last October, the oldest pupils of our CRA went to Cabárceno for a whole week. 

They had a great time there!  They had to speak all the time in English with everyone.  Their teachers were native people. Some of them were from England, some were from Ireland, from The United States or even from Canada.

They also learnt  so many interesting things about our planet:  how to recycle, the human impact, animals, plants...

One of the days, they went to Cabárceno Park to spend the day.  The park was really beautiful. 

They could enjoy watching giraffes, elephants, jaguars...and participating in very fun shows.
                                     

 

It was a wonderful week! 

I went to Cabarceno for a week the 10th October. I liked it!. We had many teachers, some of them were from other countries.
One day we were to the natural park of Cabarceno. We saw many animals of different species: we saw lions, gorillas, giraffes, eagles, hippos and much more...
Other day we did "workshops", we went to walk and we talked about our families and home.
The most important thing is that we learnt a lot with the teachers we had, whose names were: Paul, James, Mark, Jon, Vicent and Dori.
The day that I liked the most was the last night I spent there because we sang and we danced.
