Some of the students in the class made nice Christmas cards in order to send them to our Comenius partners.

Here you have the results! Aren't they beautiful?

Eurystheus wanted Heracles to steal the Mares of Diomedes, so he would die. Heracles went to Diomedes palace, Diomedes was feeding his Mares with human meat. Diomedes gave Heracles a cup of wine with venom, Heracles knew this, so he pretend that he was poisoned. Later, when Diomedes was absent, Heracles took Diomedes and he put him into the mangers, where the Mares eat.     
Finally, Heracles took the Mares to Eurystheus.

L.Martin, L.Ortega, E.Algaba y J.Bellón

The son of Zeus, Heracles, has killed the Nemean Lion with his bare hands.  

Heracles tracked the lion back to its lair to kill it because Eurystheus told him to do it as a punishment. When Heracles fired arrows with a bow they just bounced off beacuse the lion´s hide was very strong. Then, he tried to kill it with a sword but the blade broke. Finally, Heracles kill it with his strength: he strangled the lion. It happened 2500 years ago but Heracles remembers it with grief as if it were yesterday.

Heracles cleaned the Augean Stables

Heracles cleaned the stables yesterday, King Eurystheus  told him that he had to clean it in only one day. It was his fifth task. He didn´t imagine that the stables weren´t cleaned for years. The stables were very dirty and full of shit and other indeseable things. So, Heracles had a great idea that could help him to complete the task. He made a hole in a wall around the stables, then, he dug two trenches to the stables of nearby rivers. Finally, the rivers flowed, cleaning the augean stables. 
Now, the rivers are flowing in the augean stables, so they are clean forever. 

The authors of this report are the philosophers Jaime, Rodrigo, Antonio and Guillermo.

Heracles kills the Hydra

Y. Ramírez, M. del Fresno, E. Coronel, S. Verdejo

Heracles killed the hydra 100 years ago when it was having dinner in its cave.

King Euristheus set Heracles his second task. He told Heracles to go and kill the Lernean Hydra.

Heracles and his nephew Iolaus went to the cave where the hydra lived.

Heracles surprised the hydra and chopped off its head with his sword.

However the hydra didn´t die. It grew heads to replace the one that was lost.

Heracles kept on chopping off the hydra's heads. Every time he chopped one off two more grew.Then Heracles had an idea: Each time he sliced off a head, Iolaus used a torch to burn the hydra's neck so the head wouldn't grow back.

Eventually the hydra was left without any heads and it was a simple task for Heracles to kill it. 

PELIGROS DE INTERNET

Esta mañana hemos recibido la visita de Gregorio, un agente de la Policía Nacional que nos ha contado muchas cosas importantes sobre Internet. Nos ha relatado casos reales de jóvenes que han sufrido cyber bulling, sexting o grooming. También nos ha dado consejos para que no seamos víctimas de ninguno de estos delitos cibernéticos.

Tanto alumnos como padres debemos hacer una seria reflexión sobre cómo utilizamos la red de redes. Internet, las redes sociales o los teléfonos móviles son herramientas útiles para nuestra vida. Nos permiten estar al día de cualquier tipo de información, nos acercan a amigos y familiares que viven lejos. Como cualquier otra cosa que está a nuestra disposición, no es bueno ni malo, todo depende del uso que hagamos de ellos.

En esta entrada hemos querido compartir unos vídeos referentes a este tema.

Un nuevo curso ha empezado...

Ya llevamos una semanita haciendo rodaje, recuperando el ritmo y con las pilas cargadas.

 Todos los cursos tienen algo especial, pero este es nuestro último año en el colegio y eso le da una solemnidad especial a todo lo que hacemos.

 El primer día de clase pasó a saludarnos Lázaro y nos hizo conscientes de lo que somos: los mayores del colegio. Eso es una gran responsabilidad, porque todo lo que hacemos sirve de ejemplo para los más pequeños y pensamos dejar el listón bien alto.
 Tenemos muchas cosas por hacer. Hay que disfrutar cada día de este año que será irrepetible, trabajar duro y sacar lo mejor de nosotros mismos. ¡Será un curso memorable!

 Por supuesto, no podemos olvidar que muchos de nosotros seguimos preparando con mucha ilusión nuestro viajes a Londres. Seguimos recaudando fondos y hemos empezado a profundizar en la historia de la ciudad. A lo largo del año seguiremos trabajando para conocer más a fondo una de las capitales más emblemáticas de Europa.

¡Feliz curso a todos!

VIAJE AL PASADO

Como todos sabéis, a lo largo de todo este año hemos tenido muy presente la época medieval. Nuestro cole se transformó en castillo y de vez en cuando hemos presenciado acontecimientos históricos.

Los chicos y chicas de 5º han hecho un gran trabajo entrevistando a algunos personajes que fueron muy relevantes en la Edad Media. Buscaron información, prepararon las preguntas y aquí tenéis una muestra de su trabajo.

Debido a problemas técnicos y de tiempo, faltan algunas entrevistas. Con suerte, con el comienzo del próximo curso, adjuntaremos la 2ª entrega.

Teatro, lo tuyo es puro teatro

Aquí tenéis el estreno mundial del debut teatral de la clase de 5º. ¡Qué duro es el mundo de la farándula! El trabajo en equipo ha merecido la pena, pero nadie dijo que iba a ser fácil. 

¡Qué buen rato pasamos!

Aplausos para los actores.

CAMINO DE SANTIAGO

Chicos y chicas de 5º, vuestro proceso de elaboración del trabajo sobre el Camino de Santiago está en el blog del proyecto ARCE, echadle un vistazo, ¡hay fotos chulísimas!

 Tenéis el enlace al blog en el menú de la derecha.

PERIODISTAS POR UN DÍA

Hemos estado trabajando como reporteros de la actualidad de nuestro centro. Pensamos qué queríamos conocer sobre lo que ocurre en el resto de aulas, redactamos unas preguntas y nos lanzamos a investigar para poder escribir nuestras noticias. Una vez obtenida y ordenada la información, nos pusimos ante la cámara y ... voilà.

SCHOOL LINK

We are very happy to introduce to you our new friend: Bare Trees Primary School. It is a school in England (Oldham, near Manchester). We are going to keep in touch exchanging emails.
