More forests in Spain
2011 is the International Year of the Forests and in Spain we
have to celebrate because the forest areas are growing and we
are the 3rd country in the world with a
higher increase in the extension of
forests, just behind China and the USA.
This has happened because some rural
areas in Spain are dissapearing.
On one hand, it is something very good
for planet Earth - commented the
children in Year 5 after reading the news
on the newspaper- because it means that
there are a lot of trees in the country
and that we can beathe a better air. But
on the other hand we have to be careful
with the fires.
In Europe, only Sweden, Findland and Eslovenia have got bigger extensions
of forests: 60% of their territory is covered with forests while in the
United Kingdom it’s only 12%!
Els Pins in a magazine
The Second Hand market that the Pupil’s Parents Association
organized before Christmas was a big success. And rewarding
this initiative a short article has been published at number 10
of the magazine “Educació i sostenibilitat” (Education and
Sustainability). Congratulations!!!

Carnival decorations
On the 4th of March we are celebrating Carnival but since early February
the school is preparing this
big festival decorating the
school. This year’s topic is
Stories and all the school
is full of book of all kinds,
letters
hanging
for the ceilings and characters from the different
stories. Families have helped with the decorations and,
as we are an Eco-friendly school, they have made
beautiful books and letters with recycled materials
(paper rolls, plastic bottles, cereal boxes, etc).
Making paper at Capellades
Children in Year 3 and Year 4 have visited “Museu Molí Paperer” in
Capellades, near Barcelona. It’s an old
mill that has become a museum about
the history of paper. Children visited
the
different
rooms in the museum and learned about the
traditional handmade processes of making
paper. Each child did a paper sheet to take
home.
