EASTER EGG TRADITION AND MORE

In the past, people didn´t eat eggs during Lent (Cuaresma). As a result, following Lent there were always a lot of eggs to eat; too many!. This is the root of the Easter egg tradition. People used to hard-boil the excess eggs, paint them and give them to friends and family. Often, these decorated eggs were hidden and children were asked to find them.

En el pasado, las personas no comían huevos durante la Cuaresma. Tras la misma había siempre muchos huevos para comer, demasiados. Ésta es la base de la tradición de los huevos en Semana Santa. La gente solía cocerlos, pintarlos y se los daba a amigos y familiares. Estos huevos decorados se escondían con frecuencia para que los niños los buscasen.

EASTER GAMES

Enjoy these Easter activities!

SAINT PATRICK´S WEEK AT SCHOOL

Durante la semana del 16 al 20 de marzo  trabajamos la festividad de San Patricio, patrón de Irlanda. Desde aquí agradezco a los alumnos, padres y madres que con vuestras contribuciones hacéis que la labor educativa sea más amena y enriquecedora. Aquí os cuelgo unas fotos de las cosas que trajeron los chico/as.







Así han quedado los murales, pues menudo pedazos de artistas están hechos. Great work!










A los alumnos/as de 2ºA les dije que les colgaría una foto del muñeco del "Leprechaun" que hicimos en clase para casi terminar en casa. Lo único que debéis hacer es colorear y recortar para pegar todo en la cuartilla de folio que os di. Después le pegáis los brazos y piernas con las tiras verdes que os proporcioné. Finalmente, le hacéis las manos y pies como queráis.



En la clase del martes escribiremos unas letras en la parte blanca del cuerpo.


HAPPY EASTER!

Easter Bunny moves his ears,
moves his ears, moves his ears.
Easter Bunny moves his ears,
All on Easter Sunday!

Easter Bunny moves his nose,
moves his nose, moves his nose.
Easter Bunny moves his nose,
All on Easter Sunday!

Easter Bunny moves his tail,
moves his tail, moves his tail.
Easter Bunny moves his tail,
All on Easter Sunday!

Easter Bunny hops along,
hops along, hops along.
Easter Bunny hops along,
All on Easter Sunday!
