Comenius Event in Toledo

Last week, our Head Teacher, Carmen Bueno, and our project coordinator, Christine Stoody, attended an event in Toledo for schools participating in Comenius projects in Castilla- La Mancha. They received a Comenius plaque on behalf of Colegio Público Ocejón that recognizes the schools participation in Comenius. Castilla-La Mancha is giving a plaque to each school that participates so that they are identified when a visitor comes to the school.

Ocejón school's community is involved in a new project: we have organized a flea market, thanks to the donations of our students. The first two days have been a success, and we will probably repeat the experience soon.

We'll continue informing you of upcoming events!

Year Six students visited a Science display in the gym

Last Wednesday, we went to the school's gym to see an exhibition about Ecology and Environment. It was very interesting, and we read about different ways to help the Environment. Soon, we will do some activities related with the project. We'll keep you posted!

Last Friday, Ocejón School celebrated Halloween, ending with a thrilling performance by the sixth grade students. It was awesome!!!

Yesterday, year six students of Ocejón School visited the Beech Wood Park, in the province of Guadalajara. Then, the students designed leaflets with interesting information about the Park. Here are some pictures of that trip and the students' projects.

Hello again,

Today, I'd like to propose an activity for you. We all know that taking care of the environment concerns all of us. From this space, I'd like to invite you to write some ideas of little things that we can do in our families to help fight pollution and climate change. 

I'll start:

• We can turn off the lights when we leave a room (that one was easy).
  

Try to think of all the small things that you do in your daily lives, and also suggest ideas that we can put into practise.

I'm looking forward to reading your comments!
