Sol Solidari


Three weeks ago a man called Deli from Sol Solidari came to our class to explain us how they help people in Africa to cook their food using solar technologies.

He showed us a solar stove and we could heat water under the sun in our playground.  We found out  that it's possible to cook without electricity.

When we went to the class he showed us a power point and we could see photos of the projects Sol Solidari has in Africa. We think that solar stoves are very useful even in developed countries because we can save electricity and money.

We liked his talk very much. Thank you for coming to our school.

On Thursday 14th of November, TV3 came to our school. They wanted to record us because we study Science and Art in English.

They recorded us while we were giving a presentation to the other students in our school. We explained them how to save energy. It was part of our Energy Saving Campaign.

Doing a presentation with the television recording us wasn't easy beacuse we were very nervous, but the cameraman was very friendly with us!

The video appeared on TV3 the same day at midday. It was an amazing experience!


Energy saving campaign (II)

This term, the 6th graders are studying Energy. We are doing different activities in class: worksheets, on line games, videos, models of solar toys,  ...
Now we are making posters with different tips that we think are important to save energy at school and at home.
We are preparing some presentations to explain to the other classes what they should do to save electricity. We are going to explain it in Catalan to the little ones, in English and in Catalan to the 1st and 2nd graders, and to the other ones in English.

We think that saving energy is important because we save money. It's also important to be aware of the energy we spend because we need it, and the energy we waste.

"La Castanyada"


Two weeks ago, on the 25th of October, we celebrated "La Castanyada" which is a popular festival in Catalonia.
Our class, the 6th graders, dressed up as chesnut sellers, and we handed out chesnuts in newspaper cones. The chesnuts were delicious!

The youngest students sang a song called "El bolet" (the mushroom, in Catalan). Each grade made a circle in the playground and then everybody ate chesnuts. Even our families!

We had a great time and we want to repeat this festival next year!
