A big surprise!

Yesterday we received  a parcel from our epals in Dexter (Michigan, USA). It was a very good surprise.
Inside the parcel there were Christmas cards, one for each one of us. They were so beautiful!

To our epals:

Thank you for your Christmas cards and your little presents! We were very happy!

Happy Christmas!

Our "pessebre"

This Christmas the boys and the girls from the 5th and 6th grade made a "pessebre".
We made it with plasticine. We made some groups and each group had to represent an scene of the "pessebre" in a shoe box. For example: the manger was a shoe box, the devils were in another shoe box, the shephards in another one...
It was so funny making the "pessebre"!

International Project

Last year our 6th graders started exchanging emails in English with some students in US schools. We met them in ePals Global Community.

This year we decided to go one step further and start sharing some projects. Our first project is a wiki about Christmas Traditions. We wrote about our Catalan and Spanish traditions and ourepals from Bellevue, Kentucky, USA wrote about theirs.

Thank you for being our parterns. It's been a great experience!

Xmasnadal wiki

In our class, 6th grade, we created a wiki which explains some of our Christmas traditions. We want all the people around the world learn about them.

-In Catalan Xmas songs, we uploaded some of our traditional Catalan Christmas songs like: “A Betlem me’n vull anar”, “M’agrada el Nadal” & “Ara ja és Nadal”.

-In Catalan traditions we explained “El Tió”,  “El pessebre”, “El pessebre vivent”, “El caganer” & “El poema de Nadal”

-In Spanish traditions we wrote about: "Christmas holidays", "Torrons”, "New year's Eve"  “Els tres reis", "Tortell de reis", &“El dia dels innocents”.

-In Other traditions we put: “Invisible friend” & “Advent calendar”.

Sol Solidari

More photos...

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.
