THE END OF OUR PIEFCITOS JOURNEY

Hi everyone,

Once the classes have come to an end, it is time to resume the different activities that we have developed all along the year.

At the beginning of October, our school was involved in the development of a national project called "El camino de Piefcitos", which was created to promote health-focused values, such as the physical activities, mental health, healthy nutrition or the environmental care.



The project had the objective to travel a fictitious path thanks to effort of all our students and their families, transforming many different activities and challenges into kilometers. For example, by bringing healthy lunches to school, recycling, participating on extracurricular sporty activities, taking part on cultural events...

And here are the results:

- Among all the courses involved we have achieved 38.759 kilometers.

- Nearly all the courses have traveled 11 of the 17 autonomous communities.

- The classes that have achieved the biggest amount of kilometers were, 5潞A, 4潞A and 4潞B.




We would like to thank all of our students and their families for the effort and we encourage you to continue working during the summer.

Happy holidays, and see you again on September!

KNOWING NEW ALTERNATIVE SPORTS

Hi everyone,

Here we are again, with information about our 3rd and 4th grade students. During this second quarter of the year we have been able to get to know and practice different alternative sports such as colpbol or datchball.

But, what are alternative sports? Alternative sports are understood as physical and sporty activities that have been born mainly for educational porpuses, seeking objectives such as coeducation, coexistence or equality.



As we have said, we have been able to begin to learn about two sports such as Datchball and Colpbol.

Datchball is a divided court sport in which 2 teams throw balls at each other with the aim of hitting the rivals. Here you can see an explanatory video.


While Colpbol, is an invasion sport similar to handball in which two teams hit the ball only with pats, trying to get it into the opponent's goal. You can see an explanatory video right here.

So, as we always tell you, go out and practice sports, because there is always something new to learn.

LEGUMES DAY!

Today, February 10, we celebrate the international day of legumes. Here are some of the benefits of this type of food:

·         Legumes are one of the foods with the highest protein content.

·         They are rich in fiber.

·         They are rich in calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, iodine and iron.

·         They do not have gluten, which makes them suitable for people with celiac disease.

·         They are a great source of B complex vitamins.

·         Most legumes do not contain fat.

For these and other reasons, it is important to say that legumes are perfect to eat at any moment of the year.




How much do you know about legumes? We propose this Kahoot! to show your knowledge.

PARKOUR FOR SCHOOLS

 Hello everyone!

How are you doing?


Do you want to know more about Parkour?

Parkour is a movement activity that promotes health and fitness whilst teaching young people to master their bodies and minds. 

The term ‘Parkour’ originating in France in the 1980s, was adopted from 1998. It derives from the French word ‘parcours’ meaning ‘route’ or ‘course’.  Used interchangeably, “Parkour, Freerunning, Art Du Deplacement, is the non-competitive physical discipline of training to move freely over and through any terrain using only the abilities of the body, principally through running, jumping, climbing and quadrupedal movement.” Whilst there is no set list of moves those that are often practiced are:

  • running towards a wall and then jumping and pushing off the wall with a foot to reach the top of the wall
  • moving from a position hanging from a wall-top or ledge, to standing on the top or vaulting over to the other side
  • Vaulting over obstacles
  • jumping and landing accurately with the feet on small or narrow obstacles
  • jumping and catching a ledge with the hands while the feet land on the vertical surface below.
  • using a rolling motion to help absorb large impacts
Let´s see a video!

ANOTHER SPOOKY GAME!

 


Hello friends!

How's it going? It's been a while! Needless to say, the start of the 2020-2021 school year has been a wild one. I've been meaning to share how things have been going in my teaching but it seems that each day brings a new challenge or adventure.

As I get back into the swing of things, here is a resource that I think you might like! The game is called “Ghostbusters”, another spooky and fleeing game designed to help you explore tactics, resolve conflicts, and practice emotional self-regulation.

That's it for now! I hope you have a great week! Just in case you haven't heard it recently, the work you do is important and meaningful. Know that it's ok to have off days and you can't go full throttle all of the time. Just being you is enough, so remember to take moments to feel proud of the efforts you are making in these times of great uncertainty. You've got this!

Take care and enjoy!

PLANKS FOR KIDS



Kids can get healthy to the core by strengthening their cores! A plank is an easy ab workout to do at home. Just start in a push-up position, then bend your elbows and rest your forearms flat on the ground. Then, flex your stomach muscles and hold!

For an easier version of this exercise, start from your knees. Make sure your back stays flat. You can do these for 20 seconds or until you get tired.

YOGA FOR KIDS






Yoga is an old discipline from India. It is both spiritual and physical. Yoga uses breathing techniques, exercise and meditation. It claims to improve health and happiness.

Yoga is the Sanskrit word for union.
Patanjali was a pioneer of classical yoga. He defined yoga as "the cessation of the modification of the mind". (stopping changing the mind).

A person doing yoga will move from one posture (called asana) to another. For example, the "sun-salutation" contains 12 poses of asanas, one after the other, and is said to help balance body and soul. The "sun-salutation" is popularly known as "Suryanamaskar".
