SATISFACTION SURVEYS

Como parece que este curso ya no tendremos más reuniones del Erasmus Club, os dejamos ya estos enlaces a encuestas de satisfacción para que tanto los alumnos que habéis participado en el proyecto como vuestros padres las completéis.

Es una encuesta muy cortita, no os va a llevar nada completarla.

¡Esperamos que los resultados de las encuestas nos digan que lo habéis disfrutado tanto como nosotros!

Nos vemos pronto...

¡Gracias!

Make something work -project

During art lessons 4th and 5th graders built something they had designed themselves. In this video you can see some of the projects. We combined technology and art! And we had fun!

Welcome to our school!

                                                                How to survive in Finland?

GREETING VIDEOS!

Our last meeting was real fun! We spent some time preparing some greeting videos for our finish friends and wondering what kind of exciting activities they'll prepare for us in our trip to Finland.

We had lots of laughs recording the clips and learned a bit about video editing and producing. By now you'll only see the "good" final takes but, who knows? maybe in future entries we'll also show you the funny outtakes we recorded.

Bye for now!

XSMAS GREETINGS

Today we’ve been learning how to use a chroma and edited our first videos. They are not as professional as we wanted, but it’s our first attempt; as we say in Spain: “the intention is what matters” and our intention was to share with you all our Christmas wishes and our best desires for you in the new year to come.

Colegio Apostol Santiago and our Erasmus Club wishes you ¡FELIZ NAVIDAD!

Let´s make a PREZI

Last Tuesday we had another meeting of our Erasmus Club. It's so nice to go to school out from normal classes!

This time we learnt a new IT tool, it's called Prezi and it's an online software to create presentations. You can learn a bit more in their web page: https://prezi.com

We met in the computers room, got some ideas about the program and started to create our own presentations. We've decided to talk about Spanish festivals and traditions from Spain, so when we finish them in our next meeting, we will share them with our Finnish friends. We think it's a nice way for them to learn a bit more about our country.

We are also looking forward to knowing a bit more about Finland too.

In a few weeks we'll have our next meeting and we'll share our presentations with you.

Colourful greetings from Rastaala!

Hi there! We have some new members in our Erasmus+ Club this autumn. They wanted to say "hello" to all of you and send some pictures of our magnificent and colourful nature here in Rastaala. The trees are bursting with wonderful colours - a sure sign of nature getting ready for the winter. No snow yet but the weather is getting colder, and our days are getting shorter which means that every day the sun rises later than the day before and it also sets earlier. The houses nearby the school got very nice murals on their walls a few weeks ago. Each house has its own mural, and we think they look very cool.

Codeweek in Eu

Hi everyone!

This week we have celebrated codeweek in our school. We have had small coding workshops in different classrooms. Today the fifth graders learned about loops and if-statements. We made simple Halloween mazes. These were the first games they made!! You can also play them! Enjoy!

Here we are again!

After a nice summer vacation, it's time to go back to school..., that is always hard, but getting to see your friends again makes things easier. That's why having a Erasmus+ Club meeting this afternoon again was good news.
We've started talking about our summer. All of us have been to the beach and enjoyed our family, the sun and the food. With those good memories in our minds we've started talking about what we would like to do in the Club meeting this course.
We've written down our ideas of things to do in different areas -Arts, Crafts, Music, Technology, IT, Video..., and we've also said some other ideas that have come to our minds.
We would like to use new technologies, make a short movie, play games, be creative... and even party!
We will see what we are able to do, but in any case, we are sure we will have fun, so be ready!

E-CLUB Baking

As today was going to be a bitter day, we decided to do a super-sweet activity.

I say “bitter” day because today we said good bye to our Erasmus Club meetings. Well, not exactly “good bye”, only “see you later”, as soon as the course starts back we’ll take our meetings again.

The sweet activity we had today was… Baking pastries‼‼

We learned how to bake croissants and palmiers, and then we didn’t have to learn how to eat them, we all knew how to! They came out super yummy.

While the pastries were in the oven we talked about the activities we made this year and decided ideas to make next course. Do you want to know our plans? Then stay tuned to our blog to discover.

Bye for now. Enjoy your summer and see you back in September.

The Finns Visiting CAS

Hi guys!

We hope that everything is fine in Aranjuez. It is our last week at school, and you can imagine how excited everybody is. Next week we will be on our summer holiday. Yes!💪 

Time flew by after our visit to Aranjuez in March. We wrote a small diary about our trip and had a few presentations on the trip. We even gave a presentation to two different groups of teachers visiting Rastaala school, one was from Sweden and the other one from Italy. Can you imagine how exciting that was?! The texts had to be translated into English, and it took more time than we had estimated. It also took a while to get all the pics and texts here, but here they are now. We hope this brings you lots of good memories.

Monday, March 18^th




On Monday we had a normal school day before we left school at 14.30. Our plane departed at 17.00. We arrived in Aranjuez at 22.30 and met our host families. And our Finnish teachers met their Spanish colleagues. Look at those smiling faces! :) 

Tuesday, March 19^th 
On Tuesday we were at school and got to know the school. We visited some classes and gave them a presentation about Rastaala and Finland. The Spanish students asked a lot of questions.

 The hall 

We also saw quite a few interesting biochemical experiments in the chemistry class. The 4th graders explained us in English what was happening in the experiment.

Waiting for the short films to begin.

And then we saw some fantastic short films made by the 3rd and 4th graders. Very talented young filmmakers!

In the afternoon, we went paddle surfing.  

The weather was great but the water rather cold. Some of us fell into the water and got a bit wet. We had soooo much fun!

Wednesday, March 20^th



On Wednesday we went to the royal gardens and to the palace. It was very beautiful there. The Spanish students gave us great presentations about the history of Aranjuez, the royal gardens and palace. We ate snacks at the gardens. What a beautiful place!

 Later in the afternoon we had our Erasmus+ meeting with our Spanish Erasmus ambassadors and planned their visit to Finland next year. In the evening we ate some churros with our friends. Yummy!

Thursday, March 21st  A Trip to Madrid

 In the morning our host families took us to the Aranjuez train station. The trip to Madrid was so much fun. We saw so many things there. Luckily, we had a little bit of time to do some shopping too. In the afternoon we travelled back to Aranjuez.

Friday, March 22^nd 
A Trip to Toledo 

We went on a trip to Toledo. In Toledo it was nice and fun and we learnt really much about Spanish history and the history of the city of Toledo.

Look, how narrow
this street is!

A few steps to see the view.

Admiring the view.

What a view!

Catedral de Santa María de Toledo 

Mezquita del Cristo de la Luz

A very small window.

 In the evening we had a very nice farewell party with the families and teachers.

It was fun to get to know Spanish people. We learnt interesting things about Spanish culture, arts and history. We made friends with them and we keep in touch with our host families via social media.
