World Book Day



World Book Day is the biggest annual celebration of books and reading in the world. 23rd April: a symbolic date for world literature for on this date and in the same year of 1616, Cervantes, Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega all died. It is also the date of birth or death of other prominent authors such as Maurice Druon, K.Laxness, Vladimir Nabokov, Josep Pla and Manuel Mejía Vallejo. It was a natural choice for UNESCO's General Conference to pay a world-wide tribute to books and authors on this date, encouraging everyone, and in particular young people, to discover the pleasure of reading and gain a renewed respect for the irreplaceable contributions of those who have furthered the social and cultural progress of humanity.


We celebrated it telling stories, tales, playing theatre plays, reciting poetry in our school library, and having a funny party in our classrooms.We enjoy a lot.

Our Easter egg hunt

Easter eggs are special eggs given to celebrate the Easter holiday or springtime.The egg was a symbol of the rebirth of the earth in celebrations of spring.The oldest tradition is to use dyed or painted chicken eggs, but a modern custom is to substitute chocolate eggs, or plastic eggs filled with confectionery such as jelly beans. These eggs are often hidden, allegedly by the Easter Bunny, for children to find on Easter morning. Otherwise, they are generally put in a basket filled with real or artificial straw to resemble a bird's nest.
So on Friday 26th March we had our Easter egg hunt at school. We enjoyed a lot! Look at these photos:

Happy St. Patrick's Day


St. Patrick's Day honors St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. We celebrate St. Patrick's Day on March 17. Americans march in parades, dance the Irish jig and gather to sing Irish songs. People wear green in memory of Ireland, the Emerald Isle and wear shamrocks, clover with three leaves.



Can you sing a rainbow?
