Experiència per compartir i aprendre: LA CAMPANYA D’ESTALVI.

Leave a reply

El passat dia 27 de febrer vam iniciar a la nostra escola una nova experiència per compartir i aprendre: LA CAMPANYA D’ESTALVI.
Es va personar a l’escola un voluntari de Valors de Futur i va plantejar la temàtica de l’estalvi a la classe. Vam reflexionar tots plegats al voltant de conceptes d’educació financera i estalvi, de consum responsable, etc. Els alumnes es van mostrar molt interessats per les explicacions i molt participatius, preguntant al voluntari constantment sobre el contingut que s’estava exposant. Es van donar unes primeres pinzellades de les futures accions a realitzar per aconseguir un estalvi conjunt. Vam acordar que uns representants de la classe que forma el comitè d’estalvi difondrien la campanya a 3r, 4t, 5è i l’altre 6è per tal que l’estalvi es fes extensiu en un futur i es comenci per 3r. Vam considerar que tot aquest estalvi aniria destinat a les sortides de fi de curs que els alumnes realitzen a la neu (única estada de més de dos dies en tota l’etapa d’infantil i primària)i a Navarcles (esports d’aventura d’un dia), possibilitant que la despesa sigui menor en el moment del pagament i oferint la possibilitat de que alguns nens sense recursos puguin anar-hi. Es va acordar anar pensant en les possibles accions a realitzar per obtenir diners i poder-los recollir. Tota aquesta informació juntament amb les fotos i petits reculls de video seran publicats en el nostre blog.
El 13 de març vam continuar amb les sessions que tenien programades. L’objectiu de la sessió era iniciar les diferents actuacions per estalviar i reflexionar al voltant de la necessitat de contribuir amb la nostra feina i esforç.

Benvolgudes famílies,
Des de la biblioteca us convidem a participar a la II Fira d’Intercanvi de Llibres que se celebrarà durant la Setmana Cultural.
L’objectiu d’aquesta activitat és promoure el gust per la lectura sense fer cap despesa.
Per participar-hi cal portar un llibre de segona mà (en bon estat) per poder fer l’intercanvi. El vostre fill/a donarà el seu llibre i a canvi en rebrà un altre.
Els llibres els recollirà cada tutora durant la setmana de l’1 al 11 d’abril

Atentament
La Comissió de Biblioteca

Spring in London

37 Replies

Hello again!

It’s very difficult for us, Mediterranean people, to understand the importance that nice weather has in countries where sunny days and warm temperatures are so rare!

Last winter has been long and very wet. There have been important floods near London. The sun was weak and often hidden behind dark clouds. Hats, gloves and scarves hid people’s faces and hands… So sad!

Suddenly in March the temperature rises and the sun really shines. And the city changes! Parks and gardens fill up with smiling people and some curious facts start…

In the week, clerks and students, shoppers and workers, have lunch outside, eating and laughing…

At the weekend the parks are full of families and friends playing football, cricket, rugby, volleyball, lacrosse…

People take off jumpers, jackets and socks, and walk barefoot on the grass.

Thousands of small colourful flowers appear on the ground. Daffodils mark the start of the spring and they are everywhere… Also in many buttonholes!

Everybody seems happier! Spring is perfect time to visit London.

Finally… one question, a difficult one!: What  are the two essential things you need to play lacrosse? 

Vocabulary:

Flood: the inundation of land because of heavy rains or high level of a river.

Buttonhole: the hole in the clothes for passing the button… (En català: trau, en castellà: ojal)

The London Eye

26 Replies

Hello again!

Today let me explain something about the London Eye.

## This massive (very, very big) Ferris wheel is located on the opposite bank of the Westminster Bridge, almost in front of the Big Ben, and was opened to the public on March 2000.

## It is the highest Ferris wheel in Europe (135 m. high) and the most popular paid tourist attraction in the UK with over 3.5000.000 visitors annually!!! The views are really wonderful!

## The wheel consists of 32 capsules, one for each London borough. Each capsule weighs 10 tonnes and can carry 25 passengers who can walk around inside or take a seat…

## Each rotation takes about 30 minutes… The wheel turns slowly but surely, 0’9 km per hour, allowing the passengers to step on and off without the wheel having to stop. Here you are the online standard prices:

Child (4-15 years): £12.60                        Senior (60+years): £14.85

Adult (16+years): £17.96                          Family of 4: £54.33

## You can celebrate a private party, even a wedding, in the Ferris wheel… Of course you need a lot of money…To hire one capsule for one rotation (30 minutes) costs £500!

Finally, the question, more difficult this time: What is the other name for the London Eye?

Vocabulary

Ferris wheel: noria

Bank: the land next to a river: There is a bike path on the Besos river bank)

UK: United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland)

Borough: Fondo, Singuerlin, Sta Rosa…are boroughs of Sta. Coloma

To hire: to acquire the temporary use of a thing or the services of a person in exchange for payment: Next summer I will hire a house and a car.

The Big Ben
Hello everybody!

“Big Ben” is the nickname for the big bell of the clock tower, north of the Palace of Westminster. His real name is “Elizabeth Tower” in honour to the present Queen Elizabeth II.
Some curiosities:
# It works since 7th September 1859.
# Each clock dial (there are 4) is 7 meters in diameter.
# The minute hands are 4.3 meters long and the hour hands are 2.7 meters long.
# New Year’s Eve (31th December) in London is celebrated around Big Ben area. The countdown is accompanied by the Big Ben’s chimes.
# It has appeared in several animated Walt Disney films, including The Great Mouse Detective, Peter Pan and Cars 2.

The final question: Do you know a famous building in Sta. Coloma where there is a clock in a tower?

Vocabulary
Nickname: a familiar name given to a person, animal, or place… Pepe is a nickname for José
Dial: The circular graduated disc of a clock.
Countdown: To count numbers backwards: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0

Double-decker buses

45 Replies

Hi everyone!

The red double-decker buses are one of the most specials things in London.

If you are a tourist, for sure you will take a picture of it! But if you are a Londoner, red double-decker buses are just your usual transport.

There are approximately 8.600 iconic red buses carrying more than six millions (6.000.000!!!) passengers each weekday and there are 19.500 bus stops in the capital… Amazing, isn’t it?

When I first arrived at London I thought that it would be very difficult to move around the city by bus. But, believe me, it’s really easy and cheaper than the tube!

Getting on the upper deck is the most exciting, funniest way to see London.

The London bus fares are:

Cash (single fare) £2.40

Oyster (single fare) £1.45

Daily price cap £4.40

Children under the age of 15 can travel for free on London buses (the driver could require them a valid photocard).

Finally, the extra-point value question:

If you come to London how much will you pay for taking the bus???

Vocabulary:

Iconic: person or thing that is a symbol. Sagrada Familia is an iconic monument in Barcelona.

Weekday: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Weekend: Saturday and Sunday

Fare: the sum paid for travelling in a bus, train, plane, taxi…
Oyster: name of the travel card for London transports.
Daily price cap: the maximum price you pay in a day.

Kisses from London
