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



A landscape is the land you can see. There are many things like rivers, lakes, buildings, roads, bridges...

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

• nombrar y describir elementos naturales en un paisaje
• reconocer algunas semejanzas y deferencias básicas entre los paisajes costeros y los de interior 
• entender que hay que tomar precauciones para estar seguro durante las vacaciones
• 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





Our eTwinning project Let's be e-citizens needed a logo, and in the interest of fairness, it was decided that a vote was the best way to choose our logo. 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. This year our first grade students are participating in an annual project, Let's be e-citizens, with children from Serbia, Croatia, Italy and Greece. Thanks to this project we have been doing enjoyable collaborative work with our partners.
