NOVEMBER ACTIVITIES IN SPAIN

On first November we celebrated All Saints Day. We didn´t have school and some of us ate “saints´ bones” (they are made with marzipan).

When we went to the yard to look for animals we caught “our friend” red handed eating our cabbages!!

Some trees have lost all their leaves and one had only three left :-)




On 18^th November we were invited by a nearby school to celebrate “ El magüestu” a traditional party when we eat roasted chestnuts and drink sweet cider. We were wearing a funny hat that is typical from our region ( the real one is made of woolen cloth but ours was made with cardboard












This year we played traditional sports.

And afterwards we enjoyed lunch toguether: red sausage rolls , Spanish omelette , cider and chestnuts :-)

Croatia - November activities

This month was very cold, with temperatures down to -5°C/23°F so we had all of

our lessons inside our warm school.

We learned new clothes vocabulary and made drawings.

6th November was really foggy.

And the leaves were beautiful and yellow.

We had an exhibition of art works called "Peace Poster" that older students made. The works will be sent to America next month:

This exhibition was also connected to remembering victims of Vukovar and a wish that the whole world can live in peace and happiness.

PEACE & LOVE FROM CROATIA! :)
