Summer Fair

Hola,
Wow! Today has been brilliant. I visited the school Summer fair at Ward Green. The parents, teachers and children spent a long time preparing.

Here I am with the school's other mascot. He says he is missing Roving Rex.

We all had glitter tattoos. They were really sparkly but now I don't want to wash it off.

 

We bobbed for apples. Some children got very wet!

 

I won a coconut on the coconut shy! We had to thow bean bags to try and knock one off.

 

Here I am playing Jenga with my friend from class 4.

 

They even had a bouncy castle and fair ground rides on the school playing field.

 

 

We are waiting to see how much money as been raised. All the money will be spent on something good for the children to use in school!

 

See you soon, love Curro!

 

 

 

Letters From Friends Around the World

Hola!

Today, I spent the day with pupils from Year 5 at Ward Green Primary School reading letters from pupils around the world that are taking part in this great Comenius Project.

I was so amazed with how brilliant the letters were written and decorated, and could see by the reaction of the pupils that they were very happy that so many pupils from different countries had replied to their letters.

It has been such a fun day and really look forward to reading more letters in the future!

A Day Trip to Kirklees Light Railway

Hola! I am missing all my friends at home,

Today, I went on a school trip with the Year 1 pupils of Ward Green Primary School to Kirlees Railway Station which is located in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.

I had a fantastic time with my new friends learning about the history of the old steam trains that used to go around England. I did many different things such as playing in the big outdoor play area and I even got to ride on a 'mini' steam train on a track around Kirklees Railway Station which you can see from the picture below...

A Day Helping Create An Ancient Greek Role Play

Hola to all my friends at home!

Today, I have been helping the Year 5 pupils of Ward Green Primary School create an Ancient Greek display and role play area at the back of the classroom. I had a lot of fun helping the pupils and also telling them about all the Ancient Greek stories I learnt from my time spent in Greece.

Love from Curro xxxx

Sa Die de Sa Sardigna

This festival commemorates the 'reawakening' of the Sardinian people when they revolted on 28 April 1794 against the domination of Piedmont in Sardinia by forcing the expulsion of the Piedmontese viceroy , Balbiano, from Sardinia. The revolt was spurred by the refusal of the King, based in Turin, to reinstate the basic rights of the people of Sardinia which had been previously guaranteed by Treaty. Since 14 September 1993, when the Parliament of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia passed a law formally recognising the festival, Sardinians all over the world got together to celebrate 'Sa Die De Sa Sardigna'.

Sardinians are proud of their history, language and culture and on this day celebrate the richness of their heritage which has survived and flourished, perhaps despite their struggles under the dominion of the many foreign invaders who were present on the island through the centuries, attracted particularly by Sardinia's natural resources and strategic position.

This special day means not only remembering the past but getting together with family, friends, Sardinians and lovers of Sardinia and to be grateful for the richness Sardinia has contributed to all our lives.
