DUTCH TULIPS IN POLAND

During the visit in Portugal in May 2012 our friend 
Marja Nelemans gave us a great present - Dutch tulips bulbs. 
We grew them in front of our school in autumn 2012. 
Now in April 2013 they grow beautifully 
and bring joy to everybody. 
A little Holland in Poland :) Thanks Marja!!!



POLISH HONOUR CODE OF COMENIUS KNIGHTS

In October 2011 pupils during classes of Comenius Club studied medieval honour code of Knights and discussed it with a teacher. Then they created their own honour codes in small groups. 
They presented their work and decided which of lines 
are the best and should be included into 
POLISH HONOUR CODE OF COMENIUS KNIGHTS. 
We made a big poster with it and put it into our comenius corner. Children really liked the activity and learnt a lot about honour code of medieval knights.

MEDIEVAL DANCES IN ALMERIA

Thank you Tore who made the video and Ana Hernández who prepared the dance with our pupils. The rain didn't allow us to make the "danza de los 7 saltos" in the playground with all our pupils and Comenius visitors, but you can enjoy this old coreography performed by Spanish children and teachers.

A NEW MISSION FOR SPANISH KNIGHTS


The Spanish association ONCE (that helps blind people) came to our school and showed us how blind children can draw, read or write. We had the chance to use Braille language and to check some devices that allows them use a mobile phone and  a tablet. After the visit,  we can better understand how  they feel  and  how they deal with a visual world.
We want to thanks people who work in order to help them to be integrated in our society.
