ENGLISH DAY

We celebrated our 4th English Day yesterday at San José de Calasanz.  We had an arts & crafts workshop where year 3 and year 4 students did some beautiful crowns.

 

 Later we played some games outside in the playground: Goldilocks, Magic Beans, Spider and Henny Penny.

After playtime, we had a very nice surprise.  The year 2 students together with some mummies, Sara and Maite from Year 4 and some teachers, playing drums and marching, came all dressed as the Queen's Scott guards.  And then, 4 members of the Royal family came to visit our school, including the QUEEN and her husband, Camilla Parker and Katherine Middleton!!!!  One child per class gave a flower to the royal family and said some words.  Everybody did a FANTASTIC job!!!
