Exploring the Solar System!

We have been studying the Solar System!

We made our own Solar Systems with our friends in class.

This is what we learned...

The Solar System is so much fun!

HALLOWEEN

For Halloween, we made mummies!

First, Mayte gave us wire to do the skeleton of the mummy.

Then, we brought strips of a white t-shirt from home to make the body.

We started with the head of the skeleton and repeated the process to make it stronger.
 
                                  

Then, we made both arms in the same way.

To make the torso, we twisted the wire in the middle of the skeleton.


                                   

We did the same process that we did with the arms to make the legs.

With a ball of paper or strips of a t-shirt we filled the inside of the head to make it round. 
                                 
                                                 
With the strips, we started to wrap the body like we did with the wire.

If you wanted to,  you could have glued some eyes on your mummy.

Your mummy is finished! We hope you like it|

New Year, New School

Over the Summer improvements were made at our school. The entire school was painted and we got some new furniture. The biggest improvement was to our bathrooms. The bathrooms were completely redone with new tile, toilet rooms and plumbing fixtures. They look great!

Most of the work was completed over the Summer, but the contractors have a few items left to complete. We know we need to be careful until all the work is done at school. Watch were you´re walking, and be safe!

Now that the walls are painted, we need to decorate the hallways. We are very proud of our school!

SUMMER IS HERE!!!

At last, another school year is finished and summer has officially begun at Ciudad Pegaso. From all the teachers and assistants, we want to wish you and your families a happy, safe and fun summer holidays and we will see you again in September! :D

Cultural Week at Ciudad Pegaso

A couple of months ago, our school celebrated one of our favorite weeks of the year: Cultural Week! This year, the theme of Cultural Week was art movements. Each class took part in several activities around the school.

Here you can see some of the things that we did during that week and even a special survey we took to find out about the students' favorite activities!

Thanks Jaime, Alba, Diego and Lydia from 5ºB for writing about the different activites. And thank you Julia, Sara and Rita from 6ºA and Diana, Martha and Antonio from 6ºB for doing the survey! Great job guys and girls!! :)

Recently, some students from 4ºB had the honor of interviewing retired football player Jose Antonio García Calvo. You can listen to the interview by clicking HERE, and you can the read the transcript of that conversation below. Our thanks to Teo, Irene, Manuel, Valeria, Pablo, Jimena and Carla for a job well done!

Teo: Today at Ciudad Pegaso, we have with us José Antonio García Calvo.

Irene: We are going to interview him for our blog CP Times. Hello! Welcome!

José Antonio: Hello!

Manuel: My name is Manuel. When you were young, what did you want to be growing up?

J.A.: Well Manuel, when I was younger I didn’t know what I wanted to do growing up. I only know that I wanted to continue having fun and I loved football. I really didn’t know what I wanted to do, but I wanted to be happy which is what you have to aim for and what you have to try to be.

Manuel: Thank You.

Teo: Hello, my name is Teo. Who helped you during your career as a football player?

J.A.: Well during my career, I looked for support from my family and my friends. I tried to do better from day to day and I achieved that because of their support.

Teo: Thank you.

Irene: Hello, I’m Irene. What football team did you support?

J.A.: Well, I am, of course, for Atlético de Madrid. I’ve played on three teams, but I am a fan of Atlético de Madrid.

Irene: Thank you very much.

Valeria: Hello. My name is Valeria. Who was your trainer?

J.A.: Well I had many trainers. And I tried gaining something from all of them. I tried learning from them. I tried to get better with them. And, well, most of the time I succeeded in that.

Valeria: Thank you very much.

Pablo: Hello, my name is Pablo. Why did you like being a football player?

J.A.: I liked being a football player when I achieved the goal of being able to play in Primera Edición because I was competing, it gave you the opportunity to go to many places, it gave you the opportunity to improve, it gave you the opportunity to share the victories, and to share the defeats… And when you share those things, it betters you as a person.

Pablo: Thank you very much.

Jimena: Hello, I am Jimena. One question, how did you get so far (in your career)?

J.A.: Well I got far by being persevering, by trying to improve day by day, by trying to do things right, by trying to learn about everything in every moment and by not putting myself down as well, you know? I think that it’s very important to always be aware of the things that could affect you and to take them in and make them better.

Jimena: Thank you very much.

Carla: Hello. I’m Carla. How did your football career go?

J.A.: Well the truth is that it went really well for me. I was a child who didn’t think could play in the elites. I had the opportunity to play in the elites, in the Primera Edición, with great teams and when you reach that goal, well it’s obviously because you did things well and becuase it went well for me. I really enjoyed what I’ve done and above all I have wonderful memories of my time as a football player.

Carla: Thank you very much.

Jimena: Thank you for your words and for coming to Ciudad Pegaso.

J.A.: Thank you all.
