How terrifying!!     We also made some murals to celebrate the arrival of the new season. You can see our creations above:                 And you? How did you receive autumn this year?

Last September we started a new school year.  Do you want to hear about one of the activities we did since the beginning of school? Our pupils from 5th and 6th grade visited the Mines of Kaolin in Vimianzo, a small town near Santa Comba. There we learnt a lot about how kaolin is used in many products such as cosmetics, deodorant, paracetamol or shoes! A lot of things can be made from this material and learning it was more than impressive. First we heard about the story of the mine and how it works:   Then we could see some objects  made from kaolin. Plastic bottles, marker pens, deodorant, different cosmetics…     After that, we visited the mine…

Last Thursday we visited Naturmaz, an adventure park in Mazaricos. The weather was fantastic and we couldn’t be more excited to spend a day in the nature! We divided in two groups. First, we did archery. As you can see in the pictures below, we first tried with ballons, but then we had a proper dartboard. Look how well we did!     After archery, we went to the climbing wall. Some of us got to the top of the wall! Others were too tired, but we all had a great time there.     Look how tall it was!     We also had some time to chill a little bit in the shadow and recover. After these activities we…

The 17th of May is a very important date for all Galician people! On this date we celebrate our heritage, culture and literature. Every year one galician writer is honoured for his or her trajectory. This year Letras Galegas is dedicated to Antonio Fraguas. We prepared some murals inspired by Antonio Fraguas’ work:             The day before Letras Galegas we celebrated a festival in our school. Our first and second grade schoolmates acted in a play called Berenguela, aventuras e desventuras dunha espiña de toxo. They were amazing!!
