On the First Day of Christmas
My 3rd and 4th year classes have to prepare a Christmas song to sing to the other classes at school, so here is one of the songs. I hope they can learn the words in time!

wall murals
Here are some examples of wall murals you can do to encourage children to read. The first one is for 'Around the World in 80 days', which we read in Year 5
The second two are for Tom Sawyer and Five Canterbury Tales, which we read in Year 6.
With 'Around the World in 80 Days' I asked the children to draw their favourite comic strip from the book and we put them on display.
With 'Tom Sawyer' I asked them to think of adjectives to describe his character which we then displayed next to a life size picture of him.
Finally with 'Five Canterbury Tales' we drew the characters and coloured them in with labels so that it was easier to remember who each one was.

25th Anniversary CEIP Pablo Picasso
I've only been there for one school year, and probably won't be there next year, so shed a few tears as well.
On occasions like this as teachers everything seems worthwhile: all the late nights correcting exams, looking for ideas in Internet, sleepless nights when problems arise etc etc.
Happy birthday CEIP Pablo Picasso, and I hope to be around when you celebrate the next 25 years!

Shakespeare's Sonnet (103)
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

Churchill Quotes
A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.

Henry VIII's wives
The wife that most fascinates me is Anne Boleyn.
If you would like to know more about her, click on the picture below
If you would like to read a book about the wives of Henry VIII I can recommend the following:
'The Six Wives of Henry VIII' by Antonia Fraser
'The Queens of Henry VIII' by David Starkey
'Anne Boleyn-Fatal Attractions' by G.W. Bernard
and 'The Secret Diary of Anne Boleyn' by Robin Maxwell which is fiction based on facts. If you live in Madrid I can lend them to you!
Look at this diagram to help you understand more about Henry's six wives at a glance

The Birthday Present
THE BIRTHDAY PRESENT
It’s the 25th of March and it’s Tom’s mum birthday. He doesn’t know what to give her. He is so worried and he thinks what he can do. Finally, he decides to ask his best friend Lucy about it.
TOM: Hi Lucy!
LUCY: Hi Tom! How are you?
TOM: I’m so worried .
LUCY: Why?
TOM: Because it’s my mum’s birthday. I want to give her a present but I haven’t decided it yet.
LUCY: Ok, Don’t worry! I will help you.
TOM: Ok, thank you.
LUCY: Let’s start thinking! You can buy her a racket. Does your mum like playing tennis?
TOM: No, she doesn’t. She doesn’t like sport.
LUCY: Ok, You can buy a CD. Does she like listening to music?
TOM: No, she doesn’t. She prefers watching TV.
LUCY: Watching TV? There’s nothing interesting to watch on the TV. I prefer reading books. Does she like reading books?
TOM: Yes, but she says she hasn’t got time to read books as she’s always doing the housework. You know, things like washing the dishes, washing our clothes, ironing, making meals etc.
LUCY: Does she like cooking?
TOM: Well, she’s very good at it but I don’t know if she likes cooking.
LUCY: Well maybe you should buy something that will help her with the housework and allow her to have more free time.
TOM: Yes but things like that are really expensive and I haven’t got much money. She’s got a washing machine but she hasn’t got a dishwasher. I can’t afford to buy her one of those.
LUCY: Well, you know what they say – the best things in life are free! Why don’t you just help her with the housework? That would be cheaper and I’m sure it would make your Mum really happy.
TOM: Yes, but I have to buy her something, even if it’s something small.
LUCY: Have you asked your Dad what he thinks? Maybe he can give you some ideas. After all, he knows her better than you.
TOM: Great idea! Let’s go and find him.
TOM: Dad, Dad, where are you?
DAD: Here I am, in the bedroom.
TOM: What are you doing?
DAD: Wrapping up Mum’s birthday present. I decided to get something from all of us, because you usually forget.
TOM: What have you bought her?
DAD: Well, she’s always saying that she’s fat and wants to lose weight so I decided to get her something to help her.
TOM: But what is it?
DAD: It’s a tennis racket. Don’t you think it’s a great idea?
