Second day in England

This morning we woke up at 7:30 am; then we went to Kaffeccino´s for breakfast and we got our packed lunch. At the Hostel, we had a meeting with the manager and he explained the rules of the Hostel. We went to a museum, the Discovery Museum, and there some of us bought some presents at the shop. Later, we went to a very funny park and all the boys and girls rented some boats. Then we had to pick up the rubbish. Furthermore, we visited the  Baltic Museum, and it was very interesting. We walked and walked, and we were very tired. Then, we came back to the Hostel and about 6 pm, we had dinner. The teachers gave us our mobile phones and we phoned our parents. Then we took a shower, and wrote our journals.  That's all, I hope we will enjoy tomorrow as we did today.

Hoy, nos hemos despertado a las 7:30 am; luego nos fuimos al Kaffeccino's a desayunar. Luego nos tomamos el almuerzo.Cuando llegamos al albergue tuvimos una reunión con el gerente. Después fuimos a un museo, el museo Discovery, y allí algunos de nosotros compramos algunos regalos en la tienda. Más tarde fuimos a un parque muy divertido y todos nosotros alquilamos unas barcas. Luego tuvimos que recoger la basura . Además visitamos el museo del Mar Báltico y fue muy interesante.Caminamos y caminamos, estabamos muy cansados. Luego volvimos al albergue, alrededor de las 6pm. Fuimos a cenar. Los profesores nos dieron los teléfonos móviles, y llamamos por teléfono a nuestros padres. Luego nos dimos una ducha, y preparamos nuestros diarios. Eso es todo, espero que podamos disfrutar de mañana como lo hemos hecho hoy.

In Newcastle... at last

Good night everyone.. It has been a very long trip, but we finally made it to Newcastle. We had a one hour delay in our flight from Heathrow to Newcastle, and we arrived at Albatross Backpackers Inn at 9.00 p.m. We are all excited and looking forward to visiting this city and Darlington. We hope we can get some sleep tonight. We'll keep you posted in the following days.

Buenas noches a todos. Ha sido un viaje muy largo, pero por fin hemos llegado a Newcastle. Tuvimos una hora de retraso en el vuelo de Heathrow a Newcastle, y llegamos al Albatross a las 9.00 p.m. Estamos muy nerviosos y deseando visitar esta ciudad y Darlington. Esperamos poder dormir algo esta noche. Les mantendremos informados durante los próximos días.

I liked the assembly today. I liked when Laura read the powerpoint presentation so fast. I liked painting frames with the Turkish and English students.

In the gym we made an assembly about the three schools that form the comenious project. The English and Turkish students go into different classes to play some games to meet us and make friends. Next we went into the playground to play with the students of the different countries. After that we had fun making a photo frame with different types of pasta. In conclusion we had a brilliant time!

Tomorrow more...

Hello, friends!

There is much information about climate change and environment in the media. But really, how much do we know about it?

Here is a quiz that can help us clarify our ideas:

After you take the quiz, share a comment with us if you wish.

News from Ocejón School!
All of our students are currently completing surveys about their fruit eating habits. These surveys ask students their age, their favourite fruit and things like when they eat fruit. The surveys come from The School Plan for Fruit Consumption in Castilla-La Mancha. We have started to eat only fruit every Thursday and have noticed that we have much less garbage on these days. Now Castilla-La Mancha is going to provide our school with fruit every Friday as well.

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!!!
