Hi again from Portugal!

Recycling is nowadays our key word!
In our school we are creating many works of arts by using only materials that on the past we put on the wastebasket, and parents are learning and helping us.
Last Easter the school promoted a competion in which parents and students could participate alltogether . They have to do a work associated to this festivity. They could only use reused materials.

Look at some of the results!

Can you see the works we did In Portugal?

At the end we gave some gifts to them and we showed the books that we have also produced by adapting the text of the book “At home we are”.

Hi again! From Portugal!

We made many questions to them about the inspiration for the stories and the draws they do, about the places where they study; about the characters they create; about the time they need to produce a book and others. It was very interesting to know all of this.

 

They showed us the original of a new book they are finishing now and they explained us how it will be pressed and finished.

Meeting with the writer Isabel Minhós Martins and with the illustrator Madalena Matoso

On the last 29^th February we had the pleasure to receive in our library the childish writer Isabel Minhós Martins and the illustrator Madalena Matoso. It was amazing because they work together and all the students had worked on some of their books, especially on one book called “At home we are…”

When the partner's were all together in Belgium, Martine's first year pupils were spending a lovely time in Normandie, at the seaside. They have writen a song to thank their hosts.

For the great week we've lived together, we want to say THANK YOU !

For all we've discovered,
For the luck to be there,
For the friendship and the smiles,
We want to say THANK YOU !

To the animation team,
To our very nice hosts,
To the good cooks,
To our teachers,
To all these people we will always remember,
We want to say THANK YOU !

Comenius RFTA team are spending a lovely time in a beautiful village of Arriaolos in Portugal. We all arrived here yesterday. We have tried various kinds of food, seen picturesque landscape, listened to Portuguese folk music and learnt to dance some Portuguese dances.


Boys from Slovenia (Martin and Leonardo) took a cycling trip with Rui (Portuguese IT teacher) and Marko (Slovene PE teacher). They liked the trip a lot. They saw the marvellous corker trees, rabbits and other animals.  But obviously the trip wasn't too demanding because they had the time to think about how to trick their teacher... (Ask your teachers, they'll explain it to you.)

Here's the photo of the enthusiastic cyclers.

A trip to Portugal

We all had to line up to get ready to swim. Emma’s race was first she did breaststroke and she came 2^nd.

Then it was Jennifer’s race and she did backstroke and she

Came 3^rd. After that Darcie did her race and she did front crawl and came 4^th.  Some of us got medals and some did

not but that was ok. The good thing is that we competed

and had a good time. Then we did a relay, Jennifer was in

the relay and she did backstroke. After that there was a final relay and Jennifer came 5^th and got a medal. At the end the boys were the fastest so they got the trophy. Jennifer got 2 medals and Emma and Darcie got 1 medal. In the end we all had a good time. Then we all got ready to go home and our teachers were very pleased that we swam in the swimming gala.

The Royal Wedding 2011

In 2011 at Heaton Avenue School we had a Royal Wedding but it wasn’t a real

Wedding.  Natasha was Catherine, James was Prince William,

Louie was Prince Harry, William was Mr Middleton and Megan Foster was Queen Elizabeth. There was a wedding reception where we had lots of food. There was sandwiches and jam rolls. Louie told a joke about Mrs Hayes in his speech.   We enjoyed it lots.
