On June 8, Year 1 and Year 2 were visited by some wonderful firefighters who told them about the work they do to help people all over Madrid. It was great to meet some real life heroes who inspired our students. The talks were very interesting and the children had a wonderful time!

This month, Year 4 went on a residential trip to Somolinos where they learnt lots about the water cycle and visited the source of a river and followed it through to a lake nearby the residence we stayed in. They also shared what they had learnt with others through drama, dance, song and natural art/sculpture. The children also had a go at zip lining and took part in a night time group task which involved reading maps and following symbols to gather information to crack a secret code. They all had a lot of fun!
