During this last week they are not celebrating Christmas at all, mainly because of the diversity of origins, religions and cultures that can be found on that school.
Instead of singing Christmas carols and decorating Christmas trees, they do the "Crèdit cooperatiu". It consists on different activities based on the same topic, which for this time was “Les llengües del món” (The languages of the world).
Each year there is a different topic and during three days (Monday to Wednesday) the students work with their tutors and teachers. On Thursday they spend the morning finishing the works and preparing an exposition on each floor. In the afternoon the parents visit the school and they can see students’ work and listen to a concert where the students themselves play different instruments.
Here you have some posters made by the 1st year students and the Babel Towers by 2nd year students.
I spend the morning with them, helping them and visiting all the classes. They all did really nice things!
I WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008!
