I hope you enjoy a few of the photo’s I took today of the students participating in an oral language game which incorporated La Comida (Food) and Los Numeros (Numbers). Using their Lista de Compras (Shopping List) they had to name and collect the items on their list. It was great fun watching them participating in the activity and using their language skills.

La Tomatina The Tomato Festival
Students from Years 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 had the opportunity to learn all about this interesting and messy festival!
It just started as good, messy fun. It is believed that in 1944 this began as a simple tomato fight between groups of friends in the town’s main square – the Plaza del Pueblo.
During the week leading up to this epic battle, the 9000 inhabitants of Buñol watch as their town doubles in size. A whole week of parades, fireworks, food and street parties make this town the centre of attention in Spain. The night before La Tomatina, the narrow streets beneath the town’s medieval bell tower begin to fill with the smell of tomatoes.
This is a clip that shows all the fun.
El arbol de la vida The Tree of Life
The Junior Primary children have been designing and creating their own Arbol de la Vida, which is a Mexican tradition. The children drew what they thought the Tree of Life meant to them. Below are some examples of their creative work. Some trees were represented as colours, others as animals and food etc..
