International Week in Spain 2016

  •  

    These last days were very special for everybody, we enjoyed a fantastic Erasmus+ week in Burela.

    On Tuesday 24th May, 47 children and 15 teachers from Finland, Belgium, Greece and Romania came to visit us in Spain. 

    On Wednesday 25th, everything was ready at school to welcome them.

    After the welcoming ceremony, we split the visitors and the Spanish children of the 5th and 6th levels in to three international groups:

    Each group had a different route to follow:

    On the first part of the morning, each group had to participate in a workshop:

    Frida Kahlo made floral carpets:

    Wassily Kandinski made a cooperative surprise puzzle:

    Leonardo da Vinci made a Pollock workshop:

    After these fantastic activities, it was time to take a break and eat some delicious food the spanish families had made and brought to school (thanks!):

       

    Then, we participated in rotating activities:
