Wonderturner.
Turning marvel is a toy that was popular in Victorian times.
It consists of a disk or card with a picture on each side attached to two pieces of string when the strings are twirled quickly between the fingers.
Both pieces appear to combine into a single image due to persistence of vision.
These were the first optical toys, simple devices that continued to provide animated entertainment until the development of modern cinema.
Required materials:
Paper
Pencil and eraser
Scissors
Strings

We are celebrating St. Patrick's this year for our students to get to know more about this typical Irish celebration which is also celebrated for Irish communities worldwide.
This week we celebrated all of our fathers! Both the first and second grade drew and colored beautiful portraits of their father's to present on March 19th after school. By coloring the words the best describe each father, the students learned new vocabulary and had fun thinking about the different qualities that each of our fathers have.
Thinking hard!
Presenting her beautiful portrait!

This popular British finger rhyme is enjoyable and the children get involved from the very first moments.
We acted it out in pairs, clapping double high fives with the partners and singing it along at the same time.
It developes self-consciousness, reinforce psychomotricity, their emotional world
and empathy among peers.

I´m a little teapot
I´m a little teapot
Short and stout.
Here´s my handle.
Here´s my spout.
When I get all steamed up
I just shout.
Tip me over
and pour me out.
I´m a very special pot.
It is true.
Here´s an example
of what I can do.
I can turn my handle
into a spout.
Tip me over
and pour me out.
Act this catchy song out !

Time is going by really fast.We're already in March, so close to spring.
Along this awesome month we 've got many things to celebrate.
First of all let us get involved in St Patrick's Day.
St Patrick's Day heralds the spring- everything about it is so optimistic with colourful rainbows, pots of gold, mischievous fairies and a lot of emerald green-
Let´s have a look at what the first garde students did along these weeks to join the spring feast.

Our second grade kids have celebrated this "craic"festival drawing a face on the Leprehaun.
Which are being hung up later. They look so stunning in the main corridor.
Wishing you have plenty of pleasure watching these cartoons!
To commemorate the 8th March this year our 5th grade students have prepared some designs related to women's rights regarding jobs and professions. We have shown all these artworks at one of the school corridors.
All the designs have participated in a contest organized by the Town Hall together with the designs of the students from all the schools of this area. The prizes have been given in a function organized to celebrate this day where our pupils have also had an active part since they have danced, sang and presented it.
Some students from our school have received prizes and special mentions for their works of art.
