Birds in Girona
In Science, this term, we are learning about animals. Today we've listened to a talk about birds in Girona and we've learnt lots of things:
-the cuckoo doesn't build a nest. It puts the eggs on another nest and throws away the other eggs, so the owners of the nest feed the baby cuckoo.
-the black swift sleeps while flying because only half of the brain sleeps.
It's been very interesting! Thank you Ponç for coming!

Learning about the Sun
On Wednesday we did a workshop in the Parc Tecnològic i Científic of the UdG.
We learnt lots of things:
-Galileo Galilei was the first man to use a telescope to look at the sky. He discovered Saturn and that the Sun has got sunspots. When he was old, he was blind because he had looked at the Sun without protection.
-The sunflares and the magnetic fields create the Aurora Borealis.
-Using the computers and looking at the sunspots in some videos, we learnt that the Sun needs aproximately 24 days to rotate.
-In the Planetarium, we learnt that at night we can see some planets in the sky, such as Venus and Saturn. We also saw the constellations and leant about their importance.

Robin Hood, clink!!
On the 19th of February, Stella, an actress, came to our gym to perform "The Story of Robin Hood and Maid Marion".
The story was about a man called Robin Hood. He was a strong, brave archer. He was famous for stealing money from the rich and giving it to the poor. He lived in the Sherwood Forest.
There was another man called Sheriff of Nottingham, He was rich and evil. Robin Hood and the Sheriff both were in love with Maid Marion. The Sheriff hated Robin Hood.
Our favourite parts were:
* when Robin Hood said:
- Robin Hood, clink!!! (and showed us his bright teeth!)
* the archery competition
The theatre play was amazing and there was only one actress! The story was great because Stella is an excellent actress. She is very funny and she sings very well.
We think it is very difficult that one person performs all the different characters in a story.
The Sheriff of Nottingham asked Natàlia (one teacher) to have a coffee with him but she answered "NEVER!".
