St. Anne’s Charity Challenge

This year we will be dedicating

the St. Anne’s Charity Challenge

to helping five babies with

Down Syndrome to get the spe-

cial stimulating treatment that

they need while they are still

very young. This treatment is not

covered by the Comunidad de

Madrid and the families of the

chosen babies do not have the

money to pay for it. We feel that

this is really worthwhile cause

and we are delighted to work

for it this year. We will also be

learning about Down Syndrome

in school, why it happens and

how well the families deal with this situation. We will hear first-hand testi-

monials!

This year our Instagram challenge is called:

#downsideup#stannescharitychallenge Your parents can upload your photos or videos of your idea of

#downsideup, so … start thinking! Let’s see who can take the most in-

teresting photo or make the funniest video!

Year 1 assembly was about

Benjamin Britten. He was born

106 years ago. He wrote an

opera called Noyes Fludde

so, Y1 wore animal masks

and acted the part where

the animals went into the ark,

singing Kyrie Eleison which

means “God have mercy” in

Latin.

The teachers had a surprise

for all the children.

Miss Catherine taught the

teachers a song about a vio-

lin, clarinet, kettle drum a horn

and a trumpet.

They sang the parts separtely

and then put it all together.

We all loved the performan-

ce.

“The Sorcerers Apprentice

Nursery played percussion

instruments and dressed up as

magicians and brooms.They

acted and danced to the

music and perfomed for

Y5R.They all had a great time!

Year 2 learnt about Edward

Grieg. They sang a song ca-

lled “In the Hall of the Moun-

tain King”, a song from the

play Peer Gynt. They learnt

the story of Peer Gynt and

played along with the song

using percussion instruments.

Reception did a carnival of

animals dance they had :

elephants, swans, birds, fish,

lions, dinosaur hunters. They

made masks of their animal.

Editor: Carlos Year 5 Blue

The Classical Music day

was a huge success. We

started with 2 different

surprises. Firstly, there

was an assembly by Y6

about the different musi-

cal instrument families.

They also spoke about

the composer Benjamin

Britten. Some musicians

visited: a trumpetist, cel-

list and a clarinetist. The

musicians played some

pieces of music. Later

there were further activi-

ties:

1. S o m e c l a s s e s

swapped to show

some mini plays

about different

composers.

2. There was another

assembly where

the teachers sang

a song with differ-

ent groups repre-

senting different

instruments.

3. Later in the day

the musicians went

to different classes

to speak about

their instruments

and play pieces

that the children

requested.

What the classes learnt Y3– Learnt about Peter and

the Wolf by Prokofiev

Y4– The 4 Seasons by Vivaldi

Y5– Learned about The plan-

et suite by Gustav Holst

Y6 -Presented The Young Per-

son´s Guide to the Orchestra

by Benjamin Britten.

Editors: Alejandra B, Angela R, Borja B and Eduardo

Once a week we watch a class assembly in the gym. Chil-

dren talk to us about what they’ve been learning in their class

or about a topic they’ve done.

Miss Helen often gives us certificates (which is exciting) and

notices about new rules. Sometimes other teachers like Mr.

Altuna talk to us about sports or Miss Laura tells us about extra

-curricular clubs at school.

This term we have had many fantastic assemblies performed

by the different classes:

Year 1: Benjamin Britten Year 2: Great Fire of London

Year 3: Feelings & Emotions Year 4R: The Ancient Egyptians

Year 4B: Helping the

planet

Year 5R: Changes &

new beginnings

Year 5B: The planets &

how to save ours

Year 6: The different fami-

lies of instruments of the

orchestra, to introduce our

Classical Music day.

Year 3: did an assembly about

emotions.

What emotions do you feel?

How do you express them and

show them?

We were very excited to inter-

view the wonderful Miss Cath-

erine. We asked her many

questions and we had some

unexpected and interesting

answers. We really wanted to

interview Miss Catherine as

this is her final year here at St.

Anne’s. She will be retiring

soon. We were very curious to

find out more facts about her

and hear her opinions after so

many years of teaching. We

will miss her a LOT! We were

amazed that she’d been a

teacher for 40 years and that

is probably why we had a re-

ally great interview.

Here is some of the interview:

What other jobs/work have

you had?

I’ve been a mother (a very

important job), a translator, a

basketball coach and even a

referee!

Why did you choose to teach

in Spain?

Spain chose me! I was looking

for an adventure somewhere

around the world and I found

one.

Which school did you most

enjoy working at?

All of the schools! I love

teaching children anywhere.

Can you play other instru-

ments other than the piano?

Yes! Many! I played the classi-

cal guitar, have had flamen-

co guitar lessons, (you play

them very differently) I’ve also

played the clarinet, flute and

had singing lessons as well.

At what other schools have

you taught?

I ’ v e

t a u g h t

at 9

schools

in total.

T h e s e

schools

are in:

Northern England, Madrid,

Marbella & Abu Dhabi (in the

middle of the desert!) They

don’t celebrate Christmas but

have other festivals.

How do you feel when you

play the piano?

I feel really privileged and

lucky when I play the piano

for the school children. When I

play for myself I get lost in the

music, lost in the reverie!

What will you do once you

leave St Anne’s?

I have so many things I wish to

learn and practise! And I will

finally have time to do so!

I’ll have time to live life.

We wish Miss Catherine a lot of

joy and happiness in her future!

In Drama Club we have rehearsed and then performed a

play by Charles Dickens called A Christmas Carol, to show to

the primary children and to our parents just before Christmas.

Drama club helps us to not be frightened or nervous when

we are on stage preforming for others. Lots of children from

Year 1 to Year 6 come to Drama and we all learn to work

together. It also helps children who are shy to talk on stage,

and it helps us to improve our pronunciation.

We did a ques-

tionnaire and we

got different an-

swers from drama

club children.

These are their

different answers:

Patricia P. Y6: My favourite

play that we have done was

Around the World in 80

Minutes.

Manuela Y1: I really like dra-

ma and I want to be a dra-

ma teacher like my mother.

Jimena Y5R: Drama is great

fun because I like acting.

Caritina Y2: I like preparing

the shows and doing the

shows.

Pablo R. Y3: I like playing dra-

ma games and acting.

Casilda Y4B: I like acting and

dancing.

The post-performance

party was

great fun!

Ivy and Bean

and the

ghost who

had to go!

Ivy and Bean

were never

meant to like

each other or

become friends .There is a

ghost in Emerson’s school

bathroom. Ivy and Bean can

see its cloudy form and

glowing eyes. They can hear

its moaning voice. It was the

best thing that happened at

their school, until of course

the teachers found out,

because someone was really

scared of the creepy noises

they made. Ivy and Bean

have to find out how to get

rid of the creepy ghosts in the

bathroom. They had a great

plan, which helped them

succeed in getting rid of the

ghosts and become good

friends as well. By Lilly Y6

The Diary of a

Wimpy Kid

Greg is not a very

popular kid and his

friend Rowley is not

popular at all. They

don’t have lots of

friends except each

other. His brother

Rodrick is not very good at all.

Greg has two brothers; he is

the middle one and then it`s

Manny the little one and the

last brother is Rodrick the

oldest one. In school there is a

cheese on the floor and if

someone touches it they get

the curse of the cheese.

Rowley eats the cheese off

the floor because some

bullies make him eat it. But

Greg took the blame and

they were friends. By: Theo Y6

Diary of Anne Frank

It’s about the life of the Franks

while they were hidden in the

back room of the office. They

were Jewish so they had to hide

from the Gestapo. They were liv-

ing in a small place and at the

end of August 1944 they were

caught by the Gestapo. They

were sent to a concentration

camp. The dad escaped and

published the diary. Anne was

sent to Auschwitz and afterwards

was sent to Bergen-Belsen, there

she died of typhus. She was very

brave right up until the end.

First day (24th October):

At 8:30 am we all met up at Atocha station to go to Córdo-

ba by AVE. Once we got there we went to the Mosque –

Cathedral that had lots of different types of designs and

arches. It was really beautiful, and it was worth the visit be-

cause it looked so much better in real life than in photos!

Later we walked around the Jewish Quarter with our guide

Walada, who was a real expert in the area around the cen-

tre of Córdoba, with its super narrow streets and their peculi-

arities.

Finally we got to the hotel and sorted the rooms out, ending

our day with a lovely dinner and some funny games before

going to bed.

We had a magnificent trip to Córdoba and Granada from

the 24th to the 26th of October. We went with Mr Alejandro,

Mr Ian and two monitors (Irene and Sergio). We went there so

that we could learn more about al–Ándalus and to learn

about the Islamic culture. It also helped us understand more

about the past and how they lived.

Second day (25th October):

As soon as we finished a delicious breakfast at the hotel, we

took the bus to Granada to see the Albaicín and visit the

fabulous Alhambra. First we started with a tour with a guide

around the centre, seeing the beautiful streets and facades

of Granada.

Then we arrived to the Alhambra, one of the most beautiful

places in our country. The guide got all of our attention with

the way he explained everything to us about those old times.

We were so impressed with the splendour of everything in

there: buildings, gar-

dens, decoration,

fountains …

After a long but pro-

lific day, we got

back to our hotel to

charge our batteries

for our last night all

together.

Last day (26th October):

After a filling breakfast we prepared our luggage before

heading off to Medina Azahara, which is the ruins of a vast,

fortified palace-city built by Abderramán III in the 10th centu-

ry in Córdoba.

That’s the last place we visited on our amazing trip before

going to the train station to take the AVE back to Madrid,

where our parents were waiting for us!

It was such a nice experience, with a perfect mix of culture,

fun, convivence and friendship!

We are looking forward to the next one!

Welcome to the pets page.

Many people have pets that

are important to them. Pets

become one of the family!

They make us happy and

comfort us when we are feel-

ing sad. We can play with

them and even take some of

them for walks. We need to

feed them and give them

water.

These are some pets of some

of the children in school.

This one is a hamster called

Johnson. He’s beige and his

eyes are red. He likes to play

with his wheel, he drinks lots

of water and knows how to

climb. He also eats lettuce,

carrots, tomatoes and ham-

ster food. He has an igloo to

sleep but he sleeps in cotton

wool. B y A r -

In winter-time it’s very

gold.

We make a winter hat,

Then the snowman goes

splat!

In winter the people are

very nice,

But the one that fails all

the time is the ice!

We put on the fire,

And the star is higher and

higher.

My Dad is going,

When it’s snowing.

We eat delicious dinner,

But my Dad is getting

thinner!

“Goodnight!”

And turned off the light.

It’s less far! By Vega Year 4 B

Learning Music is very impor-

tant for St. Anne's School, so

we decided to create a Mu-

sic Club. We did this so that

children from this school have

the opportunity to explore

everything related to music.

On Wednesdays the children

learn all about musical notes,

rhythm, how to read music,

how to play percussion instru-

ments,etc. On Fridays some

children are learning how to

play the keyboard, which is

the first step before learning

how to play the piano.

We decided to interview one

of the teachers who are in

charge of the Music Club.

Jairo: Rodriguez Visuerte. He

was born in a small city called

La Laguna,Tenerife.

ST. Anne’s: When did you start

playing the Chelo and why

did you choose that instru-

ment?

J: I started playing at the age

of 8 but I was already going

to Music classes since I was 5.

I like this instrument because it

is amazing how it makes your

whole body vibrate. You also

hug it to play it so there is a

huge connexion between

your body and the making of

such wonderful sounds. Its mu-

sic is special too as it sounds

similar to the human voice.

STA: Why do you like Music so

much?

J: If I think of the most amaz-

ing moments in my life, Music

has been always in all of

them: listening to it, going to a

concert, going on stage.

The more I get the audience

excited about the Music I am

playing, the happier I feel.

STA: Why do you like teach-

ing Music to the children?

J: It gives me great satisfac-

tion to see how much they

enjoy each lesson and how

much they learn in each

session.

STA: Have you ever played

in a concert?

J: I am very lucky as I had

the honour to play in many

places such as Alicante, Va-

lencia, Vigo, Madrid and of

course the Canary Islands. I

was also invited to Cracovia

to play with a Young or-

questra and it was very

emotional because al-

though we did not speak

the same language we

could understand each ot-

her as MUSIC is the universal

language of the world.

Editor: Carlota Y6

Music lessons

Nursery have started doing Music lessons with Miss Catherine.

At the beginning, half the class had a music lesson, while the

other half of the class played outside in the sand and water.

Now the whole class does music together. They are learning

new action songs, musical games and how to play different

percussion instruments, which they enjoy a lot.

Hallowe’en

Nursery did a

Hallowe’en top-

ic. They made

some ghosts or

pumpkin sun

catchers for the

windows and some spiders too!

Classical Music Day

The children have been listen-

ing to the “Sorcerer's Appren-

tice”. From the Disney film “Fantasia”.

Some of them dressed as brooms, some played percussion

instruments and

some were magi-

c i a n s . W e

danced , cast

spells and played

musical instru-

ments. It was a

fantastic day!

Colours , shapes and

manners

Nursery have been learning

the shapes. The tables have

shape names (Triangles, Cir-

c les , Rectangles and

Squares). They learn about

colours, how to count up to

20 and lots of different topics.

Talking about manners, Nurse-

ry have been learning how to

sit properly, to listen, look, to

be quiet when someone is

talking, and to be nice to your

friends.

Fun Friday

On Fridays, Nursery and Re-

ception work with all the Early

Years teachers to do fun ac-

tivities. Half of the Nursery

class goes to Reception and

half of Reception goes to

Nursery. Each group works

with a teacher to do an art or

a craft activity. Both classes

have a double playtime out-

side together and then they

go to the other classroom to

do the other activities with

the other teachers. They all

have a great time and enjoy

Fun Fridays!

Free Play

In Nursery they have free

play. The favourite toy of lots

of the children is DUPLO.

Nearly all them play with dolls

or teddy bears. They also look

at books a lot. They love free

play!!!When the teachers call

them, they come to do activi-

ties with them.

Story Time

When the children have story

time they sit on the floor and

listen to the story that the

teacher reads. Children bring

books in to be read.

Editor: Genoveva and Alexandra

Reception have been learning about

numbers up to 24!

Every morning they count to 24.

In Reception they also know

like: lions, elephants, giraffes

and some children as explor-

for your body. As well, they

have been learning that exer-

cise is good for you. They

even did a fitness challenge!

In class they also designed

and made healthy

sandwiches.

Thyssen Museum

Year 2 went on an excursion

to the Thyssen Museum.They

learnt about mysteries in pain-

tings at the museum. They al-

so looked at paintings by Kan-

dinsky, the artist that they

have been studing in class.

The Great fire of London

In class, Year 2 have been

learning about the events

during The Great fire of Lon-

don in 1666.They wrote a dia-

ry entry pretending to be

Samuel Pepys, thinking about

what it would be like during

the fire. They also made

houses to replicate the ones

from London in 1666.They

used cereal boxes, white pa-

per and strips of black card.

Mondrian the artist

In Art Lessons, Year 2 have

been learning about lots of

different artists. One of the art-

ists they have been studying is

called Mondrian. They learnt

about how he always used

black lines to create a grid

and then coloured using only

the primary colours, black and

white.

Retiro Park

Year 2 went on an exciting

trip to Retiro Park in the Autumn term. They played games

around the park, learning about the environment and how to

look after nature. They also made footprints of different ani-

mals using clay, learning about their features.

Allotment activities

This term Year 2 had a visit

from Felix and Eduardo from

the allotment. They taught

them about plants that have

a fragrance and they made

their own lavender bags.

Editors: Miguel and Carlos.

History

Year 3 really loved learning

about the Iron Age Celts and

they said they’re lucky to

have a Celtic teacher from

Ireland to teach them. They

learned how the Celts made

houses, made their own

clothes and grew their own

food. Most importantly they

learned about how well the

Celts could work with iron and

other metals. They got to

make their own Celtic torcs,

but they used clay, not iron.

Art

The children focused on the

Spanish artist Pablo Picasso

this term and tried to make

some self portraits in his style.

They used mirrors to look at

themselves from different per-

spectives the way he did.

The Reina Sofia Museum has

some of Picasso’s best work,

so the class went on a trip

there to see his paintings,

especially the Guernica,

because they made their

own cubist version of it! Wow!

Maths

Year 3 love Maths classes, es-

pecially playing competitive

games like Around the World

or Last Man Standing! They

have been learning the 3

and 4 times tables for multi-

plying and dividing. They’re

also learning about fractions,

which they said can be hard

sometimes.

Welcome everyone to the Ex-

ploring Year 3 page.

Here you will find out some of

the things that Year 3 have

been learning about from the

children we interviewed! They

all said that Year 3 is a really

fun class, and really enjoyed

being in it. They all said that

the work isn't much harder

than Year 2. The all agree that

Science is their favourite les-

son, so let’s take a look at

what they’ve been learning!

English

There are some difficult cha-

llenges in Year 3 English like

having to learn grammar and

comprehension, but the chil-

dren enjoy the work they do

and the books they are

reading, especially Mr Majei-

ka! One thing they are getting

really Good at is finding words

in the dictionary! This is a diffi-

cult skill, but they say that they

enjoy doing it.

Science

In the topic “Mirror, Mirror”

the children learned about

reflections of light and uses of

mirrors. Using mirrors was very

useful for making self portraits

in art classes too! They also

investigated how shadows

change size with by moving

lights closer and further

away!

They made some really cool

mirror mazes to try and help

the light escape from inside

the box.

Editors: Valeria and Alejandro

Cesar Manrique: Funky Fish

For Art, we looked at some

pieces of work by Cesar Man-

rique. One was his “Funky

fish!” We really enjoyed this

special activity. We drew pic-

tures of fish and coloured the

different patterns on them.

The fish were peculiar, with

ladybird skin and many bright,

shiny colours. Some had big,

black spots and multicolou-

red stripes. We used crayons,

pencils, felt tips and highligh-

ters. We were really happy

with the result. Our fish were

really Funky!

By Blanca

Ancient Egypt Museum

For History, we studied Ancient

Egypt. During the weeks we did

this topic, we also had to do a

project at home, based on

what we were studying in class.

We all did different themes of

Ancient Egypt, for example,

pyramids, maps, death masks

and even a video game! We

had a lot of fun and learnt a

lot. We then brought in what

we made and displayed it all in

class. All the other classes

came to visit our museum.

By Ana

Playscripts

For English, we wrote a sce-

ne from a story we knew.

We chose popular stories

like, the 3 Little Pigs or Little

Red Riding Hood.

By Juan

Science

In Science, we looked at sta-

tes of matter. We learnt the

difference between solids,

liquids and gases and how

the particles behaved in

each state.

We then did an experiment

by mixing corn flour and wa-

ter and creating a non-

newtonian fluid, which you

can pour like a liquid, but it

acts like a solid when you hit

it. It was messy, but fun!

By Alejandra

Valdemingomez

As part of our Environ-

ment topic in Geo-

graphy, we visited the

V a l d e m i n g o m e z

plant. We learnt about

what happens to our

rubbish and how we

could help the envi-

ronment, by reducing our waste and recycling. By Jimena

Editors: Nacho and Fabiola

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and

Repair.

In the middle of the Autumn

term in Year 4 Blue’s class-

room, they made posters to

teach children in school how

to reduce, reuse recycle and

repair. They used the Geogra-

phy textbooks to get ideas.

They drew the posters with

pencils and felt tipped pens.

They did this because they

were learning about how to

look after the environment. By Fiona

Popular Playscript

At the beginning of the Au-

tumn term, Year 4 Blue wrote

some playscripts based on

famous fairy tales such as

“The three little pigs”. They

planned the playscripts first

then they drafted them and

finally edited and improved

them so that they could pub-

lish them. Then they drew a

picture for the playscript. By Adriana

Tutankhamun’s Death mask

At the end of the Autumn

term, Year 4 Blue, in their

classroom, made Egyptian

death masks. They did this

with newspaper, cereal box-

es, paints and a pre-made

mask. We got a cereal box

and cut out the headdress

and covered it in paper ma-

che and then painted it gold,

blue and black. We did this

because we were learning

about Tutankhamun a phar-

aoh of Egypt. By Sofia

Great Guitars

In the middle of the Autumn

term Year 4 Blue made a

guitar with elastic bands and

a shoebox. We cut a hole in

the shoe box and we put the

elastic bands around the

box. Then we used a pencil

for the bridge of the guitar.

We did this because we were

learning about sound in our

science topic. By Javier

Marvellous museum

At the beginning of the Au-

tumn term Year 4 went to the

archaeological museum. We

saw Egyptian artefacts and a

real mummy. They went on

this trip because they were

learning about Ancient

Egypt. Mr David gave us a

worksheet to draw and find

information about four differ-

ent artefacts that we liked

from the museum. By Nicolas

Editors: Jimena and Olivia

Viking during the hot Summer

term. We did them in our cool

classroom.

We made them because we

were learning about the

vicious Vikings and how they

travelled to different places.

We made them by firstly cut-

ting out the shape of the

boats. Then we made the

shields and the flags.

Afterwards we painted them

and lastly we made the mast

with the sail. It was very cool. By Pablo

Lovely Lighthouses

During the Spring term we

were learning about electrici-

ty in Science so we made

some working lighthouses in

our classroom. We started by

putting paper mâché on top

of a shoe box and we used a

Pringles can to make the light-

house tower. Then we painted

them and finally added the

electrical circuit inside. I had

lots of fun making it. By Juan

MUNCYT

In Year 5 Red we went on a

trip to MUNCYT science and

technology museum to do

experiments about the solar

system. It was an amazing ex-

perience!

We explored a lot of science

activities including how to see

the difference between a

star and a planet.

Planets Display

In Art we created a solar sys-

tem display. We used: tissue

paper, fabric etc. It took us

days of hard work and effort.

Have you already found the

hidden rabbit and cake in

our display?

Autumn Walk

Another excursion was a walk

to the park, each one of us

went with a Year 1 partner.

We enjoyed it a lot. We

needed to pick up as many

autumn leaves as we could.

We found so many different

colours, .shapes and sizes!

Transport Topic

Year 5 Red learned about

types of transport and traffic

problems. Some examples

were air pollution and global

warming. We also carried out

traffic surveys to see what the

busiest roads near school

Fruit salad At Chamartín

market the class bought dif-

ferent types of fruit. Each

table group decided which

ones to buy to make a deli-

cious fruit salad and a won-

derful still life drawing.

Maths

Do you

like going

to the

m a r k e t ?

In Year 5

Red we

h a v e

l e a r n e d

a b o u t

paying for

things with

money to

help us on

our visit to

the market, it was great fun !

Greek Pots

In Year 5 Red we have

learned about Ancient

Greece. We have made

some Greek pots! The pottery

was very famous for having

many uses in Greece. After

letting the clay dry we deco-

rated them with some scenes

depicting Greek life.

Experiments We enjoy investigating! Re-

cently we tested to see which

materials kept ice cooler for

longer and one of the results

shocked us!

Ice melting is a reversible

change as we can always

freeze the water back into ice!

Editors: Angela R. Lourdes G. and Jaime P.

In Year 5 we have been learn-

ing about the Solar System. We

did a Whole assembly about it,

we learnt that there are 8 plan-

ets in our solar system and they

all orbit around the sun. Our

planet, the 3rd from the sun, is

called Earth. Our planet always

surprises us, it’s such an amaz-

ing place with many species,

but we all need to collectively

protect it. In Y5 we have been

learning about small changes

we can all make to help stop

destroying it before it’s too late.

In Geography we have been

learning about all the pollu-

tion in our environment

caused by so much traffic.

There are many types of pol-

lution caused by traffic. We

conducted a traffic survey

outside the school and

our local area to check.

In History we made Greek pots

inspired by our

trip. INSTRUCTIONS

TO MAKE A

GREEK POT:

1)Cut a pack

of air drying

clay in half

and get a plastic bottle

(remove the lid and wrapping)

2) Knead the clay until it is nice

and soft.

3) Flatten it, roll it and wrap the

clay around the bottle.

4) Put clay around the bottom

and make sure it stands.

5)Add handles/spout.

6) Let it dry completely before

you decorate it with black

paint and glaze with PVA glue!

What an exciting year this as

been for Year 5! We began our

first day meeting the new Year

5 teachers and finding out who

was in each class, everything

felt new, but now it’s like we’ve

always been together.

Autumn walk with Reception

We went on a trip with the Re-

ception class and we enjoyed

it a lot. We walked from the

school , around our local area

and to a park. We played lots

of different activities! We spot-

ted various Autumn things,

even a squirrel and

lots of berries,

which was a lot of

fun! We played in

the park for a long

time but we were

never

tired.

MATHS! Do you like maths?

In Year 5 Blue we love maths

and enjoyed learning all

about fractions. This was one

of the most interesting clas-

ses we had. We learned

about equivalent fractions

and how to simplify them.

We worked on them for a

week or so and now we are

little experts!

At M.A.N. we found many Ancient Greeks facts: DID YOU KNOW women spent all day in the house and could-n’t go out without their husband. Sometimes men were drinking so much that they fell into ponds!

At the market

We went to the

Chamartín Mar-

ket to buy fruit to

make delicious fruit salads.

Nobody helped us choose

the different types of fruit, we

had free choice! Still life paintings

We did pencil drawings with

and then used

watercolours to

portray the fruit

t h a t w e

bought.

Year 6 at the laboratory

Year 6 went to Mr. Scott’s la-

boratory to learn about the

eye and how we see things.

They did lots of cool experiments. They learned a lot of things.

There was a laser and a stick with fire and you needed to

blow. With the smoke you could see the laser beam. Don’t

try this at home, as it is dangerous.

They also saw how different coloured light mixes together to

make new colours. It was very cool and Year 6 liked it a lot!

Editors: Nacho & León Y6

Year 6 and the Nursey walk

Year 6 and Nursery went on a

walk to a park near the

school. Nursey enjoyed col-

lecting leaves of different col-

ours and size. First Year 6 went

to the Nursery classroom to

choose the partners. Every-

body had their one. It was

great fun!

Classical music and Year 1

As you can see, we love helping other classes in Year 6! On

the Classical Music Day we went to the Year 1 Classroom to

listen to some classical music and to help the Year 1 children

identify the instruments they could hear. They also told us

how they felt

when they heard

the different

parts of the mu-

sic. It is very im-

portant for young

children to be

able to express

themselves.

Hallowe’en activities The Year

6 Captains and Vice-

captains provided a special

treat for the Primary children

the day before Hallowe’en.

They prepared Hallowe’en

games to play in the play-

ground. It was spooky fun!

Year 6 in the allotment

Year 6 went to the school al-

lotment to water plants and

pull out weeds. Then they

drew pictures of plants that

are in the allotment. They

were there for 1 hour or 45

minutes. They enjoyed going

to the allotment and they

had great fun.

Shelters

Take a look at our stunning

Nativity shelters! Year 6 decid-

ed to make shelters during

the days before Christmas

they had lot of fun and they

liked making them a lot.

YEAR 5. Decálogo de hábi-

tos saludables.

Este trimestre las dos clases

de Y5 hemos estado ha-

blando acerca de nuestras

costumbres diarias. Para ello

hemos estado trabajando

en un decálogo de hábitos

saludables. El propósito es

poder diferenciar los benefi-

ciosos de los que no lo son.

A continuación, os dejamos

un resumen de los que he-

mos destacado:

1. No le des vueltas al coco,

come de todo un poco.

2. Alimentos saludables son

los más aconsejables.

3. Para tener energía, cinco

comidas al día.

4. Si quieres calmar la sed,

agua y agua como un

pez.

5. ¡Levántate del asiento,

venga, ya, en movimien-

to!

6. Que no te dé ningún cor-

te, ¡engánchate al de-

porte!

7. Cuida tu espalda muy

bien para estar al cien

por cien.

8. La higiene personal es al-

go natural.

9. Duerme siempre como un

leño, no le quites tiempo

al sueño.

10. Alegre y de buen humor

vivirás mucho mejor.

Estos parámetros establecen

las bases de una buena

salud. Cualquiera pue-

de seguirlos, ¡ánimo!

have also planted bulbs in

school. When they grow a little

bit we will put them in the

Peaceful Plant City. Most of the

things we have planted will

start to grow

a b o v e

ground next

year (in Febru-

ary or March).

The Vertical Garden

This year we have plant-

ed everything from

seeds, which is more ex-

citing.

At the moment we

have flowers planted by

Year 1 and lots and lots

of parsley that was

planted by the green

team.

Everything seems to be

Christmas fair

In St Anne´s school we held a Christmas fair to raise money

for Caritas. Each class had a stall with different things to sell.

These were all things that the children had worked hard to

make in class. The children had lots of fun making things to

sell at the fair and then taking part in selling them on the day.

Christmas Fancy dress

On the last day of school

before the Christnas holidays,

everyone had lots of fun dres-

sing up! In the morning, we

had a school assembly to ce-

lebrate the children who had

achieved 100% attendance

for the term. We were also

able to see everyone´s Christ-

mas costumes!

These are the fantastic things

that each class made and

sold:

Nursery: Christmas tree pine

cones and painted wooden

tree decorations.

Reception: Clay Christmas

tree decorations

Year 1: Material Christmas

trees and Christmas biscuits.

Year 2: Christmas crackers

and Christmas cards.

Year 3: Christmas tree and

snowman magnets.

Year 4: Snow globes and

Christmas puppets.

Year 5: Christmas wreaths.

Year 6: Smoothie stall.

In Nursery, Reception and

Year 1 the children were very

lucky to have a special visit

from Santa Claus! He gave

them all a present and they

told him what they were ho-

ping to receive for Christmas.

Editor: Angela R.

This year at the Christmas fair

we raised a lot of money for

charity, as we try to do every

year. At our fair, with all the dif-

ferent things being sold it was

much easier. It is very important

for us to realise that we are very

lucky, that we can go to a fan-

tastic school, and that there are

children who are stuck in bed or

have a very grave illness... We

raised 2,426.20 euros for the

charity Caritas.

On fair day we had lots of fun!

It was a great success and it

was positive in two ways:

1. We loved it.

2. We raised lots of money to

help people in need.

Well Done to everyone at

St. Anne’s School!

At the end of year we went to

the church to sing carols. For

that each class needed to

prepare a carol. We prepared

them for a week or so, until the

big day (we were very excit-

ed!).

In the church as well as the

carols the Bachillerato pupils
