Year 1 and Year 2: «Thanksgiving Day»

Hello everyone and happy Thanksgiving Day!!!!!

According to the North American tradition, at Alqueria we have celebrated Thanksgiving Day. For Lindley it is the most special day of the year. They commemorate the day Native Americans and Europeans sat down together to share a feast that lasted for 3 days in 1620. Europeans arrived to Plymouth Rock and didn’t know how to grow vegetables or how to hunt. Native Americans taught them and they were thankful for that. Nowadays, there is a beautiful feeling about this day and families and friends gather together to share a very special meal with turkey, sweet potatoes, corn, pumpkin pie, stuffing, cranberry sauce… HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

PS: Children have created their own Thanksgiving tree and have left their messages hanging on it. Lindley has brought mini-pumpkin pies with cream to share with students. Thank you, Lindley.

Red Class: Autumn is here!!

Hello everyone!!

These past weeks we have been enjoying the change the weather has experienced dancing and singing traditional autumn songs, visiting the garden to jump on a pile of leaves and having a wonderful time. We have also learned about the animals and nuts that we can find in the forest nowadays.

¡Hola a tod@s!

Estas últimas semanas hemos estado divirtiéndonos con los cambios que ha experimentado el tiempo atmosférico cantando y bailando canciones de otoño, visitando el jardín para hacer una pila de hojas y saltar dentro de ella. Lo estamos pasando genial. También hemos aprendido sobre animales, frutos secos… que podemos encontrar en el bosque en esta época del año.

See you soon!
