Saint George's Day

Did you know that St. George is not only the patron of Aragon but also the patron of England

That is the reason why this year we decided to celebrate that day from a bilingual approach, developing cultural awareness related to both communities. 

Last April 21st, our students had to take 4 challenges to complete a shield for their class. Those challenges included reading, building up a cage for a dragon, writing the title of their favourite book on a dragon's scale and taking part in a Medieval Tournament.

That was also a good starting point to discover the differences among what we call "United Kingdom". "Great Britain" and "England", as well as their flags. 

They had a great time!


¿Sabíais que San Jorge no solo es el patrón de Aragón sino que también lo es de Inglaterra?

Es por ello que este año hemos decidido celebrar el día desde una perspectiva bilingüe, desarrollando conciencia cultural relativa a ambas comunidades.

El pasado 2º de abril nuestros alumnos realizaron 4 retos para completar el escudo de su clase. Esos retos incluían leer, construir una jaula de dragón, escribir el título de su libro favorito en una escama de dragón y participar en un torneo medieval.

Todo ello contribuyó a introducir las diferencias entre lo que conocemos como "Reino Unido", "Gran Bretaña" e "Inglaterra", así como sus banderas.

¡Pasaron un día estupendo!
