Last week we held our Snow White week when the children did lots of different activities based on the story .... raps, different versions, art, music.... On Friday we held a Snow White assembly. All the children (and staff) dressed up and the staff performed a Snow White pantomime! It was great fun.








When the bell rang to go home, Edward said 'I don't want to go home. I don't want this day ever to end!'








DAY OF NON-VIOLENCE AND PEACE (30th January)
CEIP LOS GUINDOS
The "School Day of Non-violence and Peace" is held on January 30th every year, on the anniversary of the martyrdom in 1948 of Mahatma Gandhi, the great apostle of non-violence. Last Friday we celebrated this day at our school. Children made drawings and a big posters in colours to symbolized a world in colours, a world in peace. They wrote message of peace, a small sketch was perfomed, they played cooperative games. We had our assembly in the playground where children danced and sang songs of peace, some children talked about their countries and our languages assistants from EEUU, Ireland and Filand (Corey, Ashling and Elli) talked of their feelings of peace.


All year round you can find delicious sweets and biscuits in Venice and the mainland , such as "bussolai", "baicoli" and "zaeti", made from maize floor, perfect with Malvasia wine or zabaione but in Carnival time frittelle and galani are the ones you have to try!
They are the symbols of Carnival in our area and not only...

Can you see the handcart in the background? The "Sternsinger" become lots of sweets for their work. Often they bring most of it to the convent in Gengenbach and the nuns give it to hostels belonging to them.



Between New Year's Eve and Epiphany
groups of children go from house to house.


They say some special rhymes and
sing some special songs for the residents.

Then the biggest one which only
attends them writes on the door:
20 C + M + B 09
This means Caspar, Melchior, Balthasar
or better:
Christus Mansionem Benedicat

After all the residents spend some money for poor children in the box they have with them. Every group wants to collect the most money to bring it to the church on Epiphany.

Can our french partners guess which boy and girl
from class 3e are disguised (the boy with the star
and the smallest girl? What are their names?
