Recycling


We separate our rubbish to help the environment. Some rubbish can be recycled, which means turning old materials into new materials.
We put different materials in different recycling bins.

How to draw a landscape



Gloria Fuertes was born in 1918 in Madrid, Spain, where she lived most of her life. She worked at various office jobs and as a librarian to support her writing.Gloria Fuertes wrote poems, stories and songs for children. 

How to draw a landscape

A landscape has everything
You draw it like this:
some mountains,
a pine tree,
the Sun at the top,
at the botton a road
a cow,
a farmer.
some flowers,
a windmill,
the chicken and a rabbit,
And close by, a lake like a mirrow.
Now you add the colours;
the mountain is brown,
the Sun-star yellow,
the farmer with rosy cheecks,
the pine tree green,
the lake blue
-because it's a mirrow of the sky, like you-
The cow is cow-coloured,
the rabbit is grey, the flowers...
Wathever colours you want
from your paintbox.
Use all the colours!

Landscapes at night


A landscape has everything, you draw it like this...


Landscapes to dream


The natural landscape in the Canary Islands is different to what we see in the Iberian Peninsula. At Tenerife stands the mighty Mount Teide, a volcano.
 

Landscapes

La unidad en la que estamos trabajando  trata de los paisajes (Landscapes) y en ella aprenderemos a:

• reconocer los elementos humanos y físicos que se ven en la naturaleza
• reconocer los elementos humanos y físicos que hay en nuestra localidad
• conocer sobre los animales que viven en la costa
• saber cómo estar seguro en la playa


 Un tema para experimentar aprovechando el largo fin de semana en la Comunidad de Madrid, especialmente para los que se acerquen a las costas!

Election Day

Not only did the children enjoy the activity but it also presented us with an opportunity to teach the children how elections work, the processes involved, the importance of the criteria, as well as learning the vocabulary and terminology associated with elections.


eTwinning on spot


The awarding of the eTwinning Quality Labels took for teachers' projects from Madrid took place during the I Edición de Reconocimientos de los Sellos de Calidad eTwinning.Our school took part in the debate about the impact of eTwinning and how it affects teachers, students and the educational community as a whole.

Con el fin de lograr el acceso y la participación plena y equitativa en la ciencia para las mujeres y las niñas, y además para lograr la igualdad de género y el empoderamiento de las mujeres y las niñas, la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas decide proclamar el 11 de febrero como el Día Internacional de la Mujer y la Niña en la Ciencia. Hemos considerado importante concienciar a nuestros alumnos en este tema celebrando esta fecha. Somos afortunadas de contar entre las madres de nuestros alumnos con profesionales vinculadas a las ciencias. (Física, biología, química, ingeniería, medicina, informática, veterinaria, matemáticas). Se trata de poder exponer a las clases vuestra labor y sobre todo de transmitir el entusiasmo que os llevo a tomar el camino de la ciencia.
