New friends in Slovenia!

Last week, we had the pleasure to met the students from PRIMARY SCHOOL KOBARID in Slovenia. We, as wizards, continue opening doors using the Alohomora spell. This door was more than magic, it was incredible because we got to know different people from different cultures!

We were a litle bit nervous to met the wizards from abroad, so we worked very hard in couples in our class to improve our interview skills.

Here you can watch us working with the questions we wanted to ask the boys and girls from Slovenia, take a look!

We prepared questions in order to ask them about their names, their age, their favorite color, animal and food... But sadly we didn't have time to ask all of them! We save some questions for the next time we get to talk to this incredible boys and girls from Slovenia.

And now, watch this video! You will find us having a little conversation with them for the very first time!

Big thank you to the teachers and students who made this possible!

See you around!

This is our new door!

The basilisk from the Chamber of Secrets.

El basilisco está listo para tragarnos. Esperamos que cuando nos "vomite" a final de curso hayamos crecido mucho por fuera y, sobre todo, por dentro. 

La visita de Harry

Hello muggles and wizards of the world!

We are beyond excited to tell you our experiencie with Harry Potter in our class. The famous wizard came to help us with the "Matter and materials" unit of Natural Science. We studied this contents in Spanish and Harry knew how to bring Spanish games about this topics!

Potter helped us with a special spell called "Memory Spell". When we use it (only once, then it dissapears) we could ask another goup of students for help in case we don't know the answer of a question. The groups were fantastic so they barely needed the help.

We worked on the different states of matter we observe every day: solid, liquid and gas. We know plasma is also included but we didn't get there. We also worked on how temperature changes the state and we named the phase changes.

We also worked on the characteristics of some materials like plasticine, which we use everyday in our class. This material is soft, solid and changes it's shape when we apply a force.

In the end, we found out we are stronger to face and fight Voldemort. Our brains are almost ready to use magic spells so we can destroy him forever. Thanks for your help Harry!

See you soon!

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!

Welcome to the Potions Class!

Hello muggles!

We are celebrating the "Family week" in our school so we had the most special guest in our Potions Class: OUR PARENTS! Most of them came to our school to spend some magical time with us. Keep reading if you want to know better!

Mum and dad have worked with us in class in order to defeat Fleur Delacourt, a very powerful wizard from Ravenclaw who wanted to test our Spanish skills. It was very important to warm up our cooking skills with a magical fight!

Now, if your want to know a little about Spanish food and recipes, take a look! We have some fantastic cooks in second grade!

Tortilla de patata (Spanish omelet)is one of our most traditional recipe. We have some great cooks who dared to prepare one of the most spectacular Spanish omelet we've ever had!

Some other students prepared salmorejo, paella, ponche segoviano, tarta de Santiago, rosquillas, arroz con leche... And all of them tasted spectacularly good!

And now... Watch some other great videos of this traditional Spanish recipes!

Can you imagine Lord Voldemort and Harry Potter cooking together?

This is not a traditional Spanish recipe, but we love rice pudding so much we couldn't help cooking some!

Our chickens are not magic, but their eggs are!

We hope you liked this fantastic videos as much as we enjoyed making all of them! Now watch some of them explaining their recipes!

Thanks to every parent involved in this project. We are so grateful and happy that we have such good families in our school.

See you around! Don't go too far!

¡En busca de la Piedra Filosofal!

Hola a todos!

Durante el primer trimestre hemos combatido contra algunas amenazas como Dementores, Centauros, Arañas gigantes y dragones... Todos ellos son criaturas mágicas que han puesto a prueba nuestros conocimientos en las áreas de Matemáticas, Lengua Castellana, Ciencias Naturales y Ciencias Sociales. 

Cuando estas criaturas aparecen por clase, suelen traer cinco preguntas que nos hagan estrujarnos el cerebro en cooperativo para poder derrotarles pero... ¡Cuidado! Que todos tienen ataques mágicos que nos pueden dejar fuera de juego!

Derrotar al Centauro no fue moco de pavo, ¡no os podéis imaginar qué hachazos y que pisotones nos dio entre pregunta y pregunta! Por suerte, nuestro trabajo en equipo cada vez es más eficaz y le derrotamos en menos de una hora. 

Los Dementores son criaturas que se alimentan de los conocimientos y experiencias de los demás y claro, en las clases de 2º de Primaria hay tantos conocimientos que éramos un grupo muy jugoso al que atacar. Por suerte, tras una hora de trabajo en equipo para contestar bien las preguntas que nos traía, salimos todos de clase sabiendo más que cuando entramos. 

Pero ojo, no solo nos visitan criaturas fantásticas, también aparecen miembros de Hogwarts para ponernos a prueba. Hermione Granger nos hizo un buen cuestionario sobre lo que estábamos estudiando en Lengua y... ¿Sabéis qué? Aunque Hermione sea la más estudiosa de Gryffindor, nosotros no nos quedamos atrás y supimos contestar a todas sus preguntas. 

Por último, también nos ha visitado el profesor Snape que, además de ser el más experto en pociones, también es conocido por tener muy mala uva y poquita paciencia. Sus pruebas fueron de Matemáticas y, sin duda, fueron las más complicadas. ¡Nos llevó más de una hora resolver sus problemas, series y restas con llevadas! Pero finalmente conseguimos demostrar que somos unos hachas en esto del cálculo y el razonamiento matemático. 

Tenemos que confesar que, mientras Snape no miraba, nos tomamos un par de pociones de sabiduría para que los profesores que más saben del asunto nos echasen un cable con alguna pregunta un poco más difícil. 

En resumen, el primer trimestre ha sido toda una aventura que, con toda seguridad, seguiremos viviendo a lo largo del segundo... ¡Lo que no sabemos es cómo ni cuándo!

¡No os vayáis muy lejos si queréis saber más!
