Spring photo in Ferreries

Sorry for the delay!
It's springtime in Minorca. Trees outside are green.
Last Friday we took this photo. It was quarter to two. As you can see the sky was blue, it was sunny. Some people wore T-shirts and some people wore long sleeves.

Winter Poems from Ferreries

As I told you last post, Year6 students wrote some poems. Then Year3 students chose some of them to learn.

In these videos you can watch the students reading the poems. In the last video one student is reading the translation into Catalan.

Fourth picture from Ferreries (Spain)

As you can see the weather in Ferreries is fantastic. It is sunny and not very cold! 

This morning some students took these pictures at 1:45pm.

The trees outside the school don't have any leaves and gardeners pruned them .

Students of Year 6 wrote Winter Poems and we have chosen some of them to learn. 

Next week we are going to show you two of them!

Third photo from Ferreries (Spain)

Sorry for the delay!
This photo was taken the first day we started school this term. The student and I couldn't open the window where we use to take the photos so the student took the photo from another window.
In this photo you can see a grey wall, behind it there are the stairs where the students go up every morning.

It was sunny!
This photo was taken on 7th January at 1:45pm and the students went home to have lunch.

"Es pastor gros" a traditional Minorcan carol.

In this post you can watch three videos and a slideshow.
There are 2 videos where the students of Year 3 are singing, in Catalan, the traditional Minorcan carol "Es pastor gros" or "The big-tall shepherd" in English.
There is also a video where a student is singing in Basque (his dad is from North Spain).
Enjoy!!

Second photo from Ferreries (Minorca)

Students finished school and they went home to have lunch.
The sky was grey, it was cloudy and windy.

All Saints' Day and Halloween in Ferreries

Last Friday (31st October) all the students in our school had "bunyols" (like doughnuts) with sugar or honey for breakfast (at break time). "Bunyols"  is a typical dessert for All Saints' Day.
In English class we sang and danced the "Skeleton dance" and  played at Happy Halloween.

This is our school (Ferreries).

Hi, from Ferreries (Minorca).
Year 3 students took these pictures last week. They want to show you their school, playground and displays on the walls.

First Photo from Ferreries (Balearic Islands)

Hi from Ferreries (Balearic Islands). 

This is our first photo. 

The picture was taken on  19^th October, at 1:45pm. That’s the time we finish our classes and go home to have lunch.

Year 3 classroom is on the first floor.

• From the window we can see the North playground; the door is still closed, the caretaker opens it 5 minutes before we leave school.
• Outside the school there is a policeman, he is going to help us to cross the street. A woman and a little boy are waiting  near the front door.
• At the sides of the stream there are white mulberry trees. Their leaves are still green but they are getting brown and some of them are falling down.
• Most of the houses in Ferreries are white but some of them are beige... 
• Last Friday was a little bit cloudy.
