WELCOME TO OUR NEW FRIEND!!!

AN UNUSUAL FRIEND BUT VERY SPECIAL FOR US BECAUSE...

 IT'S A...GARDEN!!

ITS NAME IS ...

THE MULTICULTURAL  GARDEN

ON OCTOBER, 4TH WE ORGANIZED A CEREMONY TO CELEBRATE IT!
THE MAYOR FROM AGLIANA AND OUR HEADTEACHER WERE THERE.
IT USED TO BE A SAD AND LONELY GARDEN BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAVE EVEN  A NAME!!

WE  DECIDED TO TRANSFORM IT INTO A SPECIAL PLACE WHERE CHILDREN COULD PLAY AND LEARN TOGETHER....

DURING THE CEREMONY WE LISTENED TO SOME IMPORTANT SPEECHES,

ONE OF OUR FRIEND EXPLAINED THE MEANING OF THAT NAME...

IN OUR CLASS THERE ARE STUDENTS COMING FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES ...

LEARNING ALL TOGETHER IS MUCH BETTER!!!

NOW THE GARDEN IS HAPPY BECAUSE EVERYDAY LOTS OF CHILDREN WORK AND PLAY THERE...

WE ARE VERY PROUD OF IT!!!

Another game

Hi friends! 
We enjoyed so much creating eco-games that in classes 4 Marialida and pupils has just created a new table game: 
THE HOLIDAY GAME 

It has been created in September
Marialida asked: "What do you remember about summer holidays? 
Do you want to draw a likely moment, or a beautifull place where you spent the summer : by the sea, on the beach... ?"
 Pupils drew a lot of pictures with seaside objects and their activities on the beach: "I made a sand castle...I played beach-volley,  with ball..."
Then they 've decided to use them to play: 
Marialida prepared some small flashcards and asked to find, to point to put on...:" Where's? Where are? When? What's this? Who's this? What colour is it?..."
A lot of fun remembering the sunny and happy holidays
