Con este trabajo hemos pretendido utilizar el idioma

inglés como vehículo de comunicación y aproximación hacia gente de otros lugares y culturas mediante el programa europeo eTwinning, más allá de su utilización en el reducido universo de la clase. Debemos por tanto valorar el esfuerzo, realizado de manera voluntaria por nuestros alumnos de 5º y 6º, la ilusión y el compromiso mostrado por todos ellos para su realización. Esperamos que este sea la primera de muchas par-ticipaciones de nuestro centro en Programas Europeos, la dimensión que nos faltaba para completar nuestra aspiración a ser sección bilingüe. Creemos que se han cumplido con creces los objetivos planteados mediante el trabajo cooperativo para la toma de conciencia de la verdadera utilidad del aprendizaje de un idioma: la comunicación. To our partners: we hope you like our work, our aim was to show you where do we live and some facts about us and our culture using the English lan-guage. We expect that this is only the first of many other projects that we can make together. To our students: CONGRATULATIONS YOU’VE DONE A GREAT JOB.

Santa Ana, our schoolSanta Ana, our school

Hi, our names are Fernando, Guillermo and Juan. We are ten years old. We are from Spain so we are Spanish and we live in Cuenca.

Our school is old and big and it's next to Santa Ana's park, it has got about four hundred students. There are a lot of classrooms. There is a gym, two playgrounds, many toilets, an assembly room and a lift. There are a lot of levels: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th our level, and 6th. We learn Maths and Language everyday. And we have P.E, Music and Eng-lish too. Some teachers of our school are Don Antonio, Don Andrés, Dª María, Dª Nieves, Dª María Jesús and Don Carlos. Our class room isn't very big. All the lessons are very funny. We start at nine o´clock and we finish at two o'clock. The lessons aren´t very hard. And we haven't got a lot of homework. Our favourite subject is music. Sometimes we go on a trip. It´s great!

Bye Bye School. A Personal experience

Hello, my name is Guillermo Iván Martínez Díaz and I am a student in 6th grade at Santa Ana school. Next year I will study in a High school. I started pre-school in 2004 here. I still remember when we were younger, we went to the park and the teachers in the clasroom: Dª ROSA, Dª NIEVES and Dª ASUN taught us reading, maths, tie our shoes and more things. After that in primary 1st and 2ndour teachers were: D. MIGUEL, D. ANGEL, Dª ASUN, D. JESÚS AND Dª SARA. In 3rd and 4th Dª MARICARMEN, Dª ASUN, D. ANGEL, D. JESÚS and D.MARCO. And now in 5th and 6th D. CARLOS, D.ANDRÉS, D.ANGEL, D. JORGE, D.ASUN, Dª MARIAJE, Dª.ROSA and the headmaster D. VICENTE. We will always remember the teachers who have left, some are retired and the others went to other schools, so they are not here: Dª ROSA, D. IGNACIO, D. MIGUEL, D. JORGE and D. SARA . I remember the walk of faires with D. MIGUEL or drawing with D. MARCO or D. JORGE and using pipo with Dª ROSA to learn maths, language and science.

This year I leave, but I will stay here, in my memory

The Museum of Spanish Abstract Art houses exhibits, permanently, a collection of paintings and sculptures by Spanish artists of abstract gen-eration of the 50s and 60s. The museum opened its doors on July 1st, 1966, because Fernando Zobel donated his collection to the Juan March Foundation in 1980. Located in the Hanging Houses of Cuenca, in a medieval building, the museum has suffered several renovations. It has spaces for temporary exhibitions and develops educational pro-grams for school groups, families, etc.., and includes guided tours of the collection and temporary exhibitions. In the library-museum shop are available several editions of catalogs, books, original artworks and reproductions.

La Fuente de las TablasLa Fuente de las Tablas

The students of 5th grade spent a week in october in place named “Fuente de las Tablas” near our town. We did many activities as canoeing in the reservoir of La Toba, archery, hockey on grass, zip-line, guessing song , orientation and we played a lot in a large room of games too. When we went to the dining room we ate: potato salad, veal steak with French fries, Macaroni and, and omeltte...They are not our fa-vorite food, but they were good. Boys and girls were in separate rooms. Each group had a room. There was a spacious bathroom and a bedroom with two bunk beds. We had a great time.

Last November we went to Toledo for the chidren’s rights day. Fifth and sixth levels of primary went to Toledo’s parliament, sat down and listened the 50 laws of the children. Girls of sixth of pri-mary read some of them. We took a photo with the members of the parliament. When we left, they gave us sandwiches, fruit and juice. After that we visited the Army Museum and we saw swords, helmets,

armors...in a bog room. The armors had bullet holes. When we went

into the room, a woman told us a lot of things about wars.

The place was incredible, huge and really interesting.

When we left the museum, we went to the bus and we came back to Cuenca.

We like cookingWe like cooking In Spain, we have typical food as: morteruelo, potato omelette, gingerbread, paella or zarajo. They´re all good.

How to make a Spanish Omelette

Ingredients:

6 eggs

3 potatoes

1 small onion

1 green pepper

2 glasses of olive oil

Salt and a parsley leaf

Peel and chop the onion. Clean green pepper, remove the stem and seeds and cut into cubes. Clean the potatoes with water. Peel them, cut them in half lengthwise and then cut each slice into thin crescents 1/2 inch. Put all in the pan with olive oil, and fry over low heat for 25-30 minutes.

Remove the fried potatoes and wring. Put the oil into a bowl and set aside. Clean the pan with kitchen paper.

Break the eggs, put them in a large bowl and whisk them up. Add salt to your liking, add the fried potatoes, onion and pepper and mix well.

Place the pan back on the heat, add a splash of the re-served oil and add the mixture. Stir a bit with a wooden spoon and wait (20 seconds) to start curdling. Separate the edges, cover the pan with a dish of larger diameter than the pan and turn it over. Throw it back to curdle on the other side.

The Spanish football team played the match against Ireland in the Confederations Cup on a baseball field. Spain won 2-0, goals from Mata and Soldado.

Rafa Nadal played the final Rolang Garros. He played it against the Spanish Ferrer, and Nadal won, although Ferrer played very well.

Marc Márquez, Spanish motorcycle pilot, won Dani Pedrosa, another Spanish rider and Valentino Rosi. Márquez, is a new pilot in the Moto GP cate-gory and we think he is the best.

Jose Miguél Pérez, triathlete from Cuenca and former student in Santa Ana School, participated in the Olympic Games in London and was 24, a good position for the first time. He talked in our school about his ex-perience.
