LET´S LEARN ABOUT RUSSIA!

And now it´s time to learn about Russia! Thanks to our Russian visitor, Vera Galushchenko, we learnt many new things about this large country. She brought some matryoshkas, also called nesting dolls, to the classroom and we enjoyed watching her putting ones inside the others. Amazing! 
And as she is an English teacher, she also gave us some good advices to improve our English during the summer holidays.
Thank you very much, Vera!

SCAVENGER HUNT

How funny! We went on a scavenger hunt last week and we had a great time! In groups of four, we first had to look for a long list of things around our playground: stones, sticks, wildflowers, barks, feathers, seeds, ... Lots of spring stuff! Later, when our teacher checked that everything was found, she gave us a treasure map and we went on a treasure hunt. First we had to answer three questions located in three different places and then we went to find the treasure. Each team found a "cache" or treasure: a plastic box with a notebook and some little gifts. We wrote the date, the name of our group and a sentence in the notepad and then we took a present, but we left another one in exchange. It was very exciting! We want to repeat it again!
