Troy con los Reyes Magos

Hoy los Reyes Magos visitó Guzman. Los dije lo que espero recibiré, si soy un chico bueno.
"Transformars"!  
Manu tomó las imágenes para mí. Gracias Manu.

La semana próxima, es una semana muy especial de Navidad al colegio. Estoy realmente feliz.

**En el 5 de enero nosotros nos "partied"... para los reyes que vinieron en el 6. Vea aquí.

Guys day!

While Hayley was having her exhibition I was hanging with the guys.  We started off with Raffie's birthday in Pelayo - it was so cool and Hayley did a bit of cooking with Amy - who's just the business when it comes to the kitchen!  Then I went off on an adventure to a house with tons of dogs and made two new cool pals.   Guys at last - sometimes all Hayley's girlie friends can be very boring!  

Hayley's going to be a great cook.	Amy cooking cool stuff.
Raf's in front of the cool cake on the left.  He's a big boy now!	Jago and Louie

Fiesta del Otoño

Before the Battle of the leaves (Batalla de las Hojas) .. we learned about Autumn.
Some of the mum's made really tasty cakes.
We had a presentation before we ate them, where the Mums gave a talk on all the things that you find in nature that you can eat in Autumn.  Mum spoke about Grapes (Uvas) .. she gave the presentation in Spanish!! We then sang a song...
And then to the serious business of eating.
mmmmmmm delicioso!

I'm way at the end of the table .. but there was still loads left.	My friend Cesar beside me
Eating before we went to battle!	Nice weather for the MIDDLE of November :)

Batalla de las hojas!

Because we live so near the sea, there's not so many leaves as other places.  So we went to forests near by to collect them (see here CLICK). 

Anyway .. we got loads and this is what happened to our leaves!  We went crazy!  

See me ..... I'm just under the tree....   (this is our school yard and the man with the sunglasses - Manu - my teacher) 

Preparados....

listos...

...... and in the movie ... right in the middle for like one second before I'm buried ...

 

¡ya

What fun!

Otoño

Before I show you what we did with all the leaves we collected - I'll show you a bit of my school and my autumn pictures.

This is my classroom door.  We all have our pictures on each door.  Can you spot me?	My picture is the first, second row of the Trees.  The top red pictures are "Grenadas" - which is Pomegranate in Spanish.  And Grenada is the Island in the Caribbean that my dad's family come from.
We all did a leaf for the tree.	My picture is the second on the top row.

La Letra -A-

Troy did the letter A in school this week so he and his sister made a letter A with their body.

Y este fue el video que encontramos, que nos gustaba, por la letra A

Aris comes to stay

Aris se queda con nosotros

 Each weekend someone has to take Aris home . She stayed with our family for her first weekend at school.  It turned out to be a "Womble Weekend*" for her. 

First she ate Lunch with us, then we took her to the supermarket.

Then as it was raining, my sister made them both coats out of plastic bags - hmmm!
On Saturday, we left Aris in charge of the house as we went to visit friends.
But on Sunday we took her with us for some more Wombling - as lots of people in the town went picking up the rubbish left from the summer picnics.
She went to bed early.  It had been a big weekend! 

*These are Wombles in case you don't know. 
(They use the rubbish they find  -when cleaing the parks - to make cool stuff. Like the coat Hayley made ..).

Monsters

On my first few days at Cañada Blanch we discoverd "Donde Viven Los Monstrous".  We have this book at home. Fue nuestro primer libro en español cuando éramos muy pequeños ...

Today we talked about Monsters with mum.  

We went through all the books that we have here in Tarifa and looked at all the pictures.  Some of the things my mum thought were monsters I did not.   For me monsters have to be scary and they have to be real monsters, not muddy ones like in 'Room on a Broom'.

Very few of the animals in Dr. Seuss are monsters ... as when I thought about it - they have to be scary.

So here's our top three.

We really like "street monsters" and often draw them in our breakfast in the mornings with honey!

We also like the Cookie Monster

And the one that I like most are Monster Trucks !!

After talking about Monsters we went to the beach and drew street monsters in the sand .. but in Tarifa they're called Monstruos de Arena! 

This is what Osos y Leones said about Monsters and the Book.

Guardería - London

In London I went to Cañada Blanch School.  I've just finished Infantil for 4's,  now (2010)  I go to Infantil for 5's.
Yo estaba muy feliz allí. Pero ahora es tiempo de gran escuela!
Here's some special times there.
