Culture Week. Pablo Picasso. Madrid

In April, we celebrated Culture Week at Pablo Picasso in Madrid providing our students with an opportunity to experience new and enriching activities within our school and the community.
Throughout the week each class had the opportunity to go on excursions outside of the school. They visited the Natural Science Museum, the Prado Art Museum, the Planetarium, Hortaleza Village, and the Fire Station.
Within the school we were treated to a piano concert, a cooking class, and a First Aid Workshop.
Our main theme for the week was Chinese Culture. We were very fortunate to have so many volunteers who gave their time and energy to organize interesting workshops and exciting activities. During the week, the children made Chinese lanterns, traditional hats, costumes, informative posters and much more. Additionally, we saw Chinese Folktales told in sign language and learned Tai Chi. For the Grand Finale on Friday all of the children participated in a parade wearing the costumes they had each made in the workshops.
Culture Week was a great success and we appreciate all of the efforts of the volunteers and community members who made it possible.

In this competition teams from every primary school in our region participated. Every school had one team. There were six teams. Questions in the test were very difficult but our team was second.

A long weekend

On the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of May we had a long weekend. On the 1st of May it was May Day. On the 2nd of May we celebrated Flag Day and on the 3rd of May we celebrated Constitution Day. These festivals are very important for our country. In this time we can also rest. Some pupils traveled to different places. We were delighted because we came back to school fresh and relaxed.
