Harry Potter, The Exhibition!

Las 4 clases de 2º EPO en Harry Potter: The Exhibition (Madrid)

Hello everybody! How are you, muggles and wizards in Europe?

We are so excited to show you our trip to Madrid, the capital of Spain, to the exhibition of Harry Potter. It was amazing, so take a look at our pics and videos!

First, the sorting hat selected the houses we belong to depending on our thoughts and qualities. Gryffindor, Slytherin, Huffelpuff and Ravenclaw grew up with us:official members of Hogwarts from now on!

"It is our choices, Harry, that show us who we truly are, far more than our abilities."

—Albus Dumbledore.

We visited Hagird's house, the herbology cass with the mandragores (and yes, they screamed their lives out), the big hall, Albus Dumbledore's room and his incredible pet: the Phoenix! We got to see so many different things we loved!

If you have the opportunity to visit the exhibition, please go and enjoy the magic world of Harry Potter! Muggle or wizard, we are sure you will love it! We give you our magic word!

See you around, pals! Have a nice Easter holidays!

Welcome to the Herbology Class!

Hello, wizards and muggles of the world!

This week we have been working on healthy habits so healthy food was an important topic for all of us. We learned vocabulary about all kinds of foodstuff but we also spent  some quality time with professor Pamona Sprout and her plant collection. Take a look!

Madam Professor Pomona Sprout was a witch who worked as Head of Hufflepuff House and Head of the Herbology department at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She attended the school in her youth, where she was sorted into Hufflepuff House and excelled at Herbology. Some time after her graduation, Sprout returned to Hogwarts to teach and now she is in our school to show us the difference between vegetables and fruits.

We also met the Mandragora (Mandrake in English) which is is a plant which has a root that looks like a human (like a baby when the plant is young, but maturing as the plant grows). When matured, its cry can be fatal to any person who hears it.

In groups, we could describe the crying root in order to calm her down, so we learned a lot of vocabulary, adjectives and manners... Not to talk about patience! The Mandragora cry is such an ugly one! 

Watch us learning in 2ºD class...

I hope we can recover from this crying monster plant without using magic spells!

See you around!
