CPI Plurilingüe Virxe da Cela

This year 5th graders enjoyed learning about Easter in the Philippines.

Our Foreign Language Assistant showed us the most important aspects of that celebration so the students could notice the differences and similarities with the way we enjoy Easter.

It was interesting to learn about that tradition!

We spent our last day before Easter break writing and decorating Easter postcards for our Slovenian friends. Hope they find them interesting!

As you already know, we could learn about Slovenian timetables.

Slovenian students asked us some interesting questions about our school and about our interests and we also sent them our questions. They replied really fast so we are happy the communication is being so interesting!

Before the Carnival break we prepared a dictionary for the Slovenian students to know the first words that come to our minds when we think about Carnival.

We wrote the definitions, added pictures and audios too.

Here you can see an image with some of the pages.

This week we were seeing the school timetables of our Slovenian friends. It was really interesting because if we compare them with our own timetable we can notice there are some similarities and some differences too!

 We sent them our school timetable, of course!

On Friday the 13th of January we received the Christmas postcards the Slovenian students made and sent us!

It was really fun trying to guess what the envelope had inside and when we opened it we were happy to receive such nice postcards.

We would like to send a big thank you to the Slovenian students.

Today, on the first day of English after the Christmas break, we received really good news:

Our Christmas postcards

have already arrived in Slovenia!

The Slovenian students sent us a photo and now we are looking forward to their reactions and feedback!

We hope they liked them!

Today we finished creating our “glossary” of Christmas Special Days in three languages: English, Spanish and Galician.

It was a stimulating task, as, in the one we sent to Slovene students, we included some audios about how we pronounce the words in the three languages.

Today we finished creating our Christmas logo for the Slovene students.

We had to decide how to do it and what to show. After brainstorming our ideas, we decided to draw a gingerbread house (covered in sugar, of course), a gingerbread man, a Christmas tree and some snowflakes made of cotton.

Here you can find some photos of the process and a picture of the result.

Last week we did a really interesting activity to send to the Slovene students: we created, wrote and sent Christmas postcards!

We enjoyed thinking what to write and now we are looking forward to receiving their reactions!
