HALLOWEEN 2015 (EL CARMEN)

Hello Salusbury School,

We are very happy to be in contact with you again.
Last Friday we celebrated Halloween at school. We had a gymkhana and we played several games such as "Spider Web Walking", "Boo Bowling", "Halloween Secret Message", etc. where we had to walk on a spiderweb, play bowling or build a Halloween sentence. At the end, each class received a certificate for the game they had won.

We had a Spooktacular Morning!


Here you have some pictures.

OUR SUMMER (EL CARMEN)

Hello Salusbury School,

We want to tell you the places we have visited during this summer holidays. Most of us (Valeria, Lucía, Iria, Zaida, Mónica, Inés, Gleb, Juan Pablo, Carla, Ibai, Gabriel, Vera and Renata) went to the beach with our family. We could swim in the beach and we enjoyed a lot.

Others (Renata, Isabel, Lucía, Inés, Gabriel and Zaida) went to a summer camp with more boys and girls.

Vera, Carla, Lucía, Valeria, Inés, Pablo, Olivia and Iria went to their villages to visit their grandparents and other relatives.

Others visited some Spanish cities. Ibai went to Bilbao, Isabel went to Galicia, Inés went to Cantabria, Lucía went to Sevilla and Mónica went to Málaga.

Finally, Ruth and Nuria stayed in Cuenca.

We all had a happy summer.

What did you do?

BELMONTE CASTLE

Hello Salusbury Primary School,

Today we have gone to Belmonte, a village near Cuenca. There we have visited the castle where we have learned its history and played some Medieval games.

Here you have some pictures:

Hola El Carmen School. We are back from the half term break and happy to get back in touch with you.

We had a look at the photos from your trip to Belmonte Castle. It looks like a very interesting place to visit. We have a few questions we would like to ask you about the Castle:

1. Does anyone live there at all?

2. Did any famous King or Queen live there in the past?

3. What are the views like from the castle?

4. Was there a knight? 

5. Were the swards we saw in the pictures made of metal or any other material?

6. What games did you play?

Hasta pronto!

Hello Salusbury School. We are very happy you liked our trip. Here you have our answers to your questions:

1. Anybody lives in the castle now but in the past El Marqués de Villena, la Princesa Juana y el Bufón Pepón lived there.
2. Any King or Queen lived there in the past.
3. From the castle we could see the village, Belmonte.
4. There were two knights who showed us the castle.
5. The swards you saw in the pictures were made of metal and wood.
6. We played many games but our favourite ones were archery and bowling.

See you!!

Hello El Carmen. Many thanks for answering our questions. Maybe one day we can visit the castle!
