INCREDIBLE MATCH

Last wednesday there was a match between the teacher's team and the winners of the indoors school league. It was an incredile match and practically all school was watching it. The teacher's team was made of Tella, Fran, Eugenio, Guzmán, Chus, Manu and the incredible Manolo, but this team was helped by Óscar and Domi, two students of 4ºE.S.O. The match started interesting and soon the teachers scored his first goal. Tella show us his habilities with the ball and scored an incredible goal between the legs of the goalkeeper. At the end of the match, Manolo start playing and it was really funny because all the school was saying his name, and he scored two goals. We must say that Fran was spectaculas as goalkeeper, he stopped dozens of balls. Sadly the match was too long, and some students of 4ºE.S.O. didn't went to the inglish class, and there were an exam, so they must go to the exams of june. Finally the score was 7-2 for the teachers. Tella was the pichichi of the match, with three goals with a lot of flow. It's the first time in the history of the school that the teachers win a football match. We are wishing to see the next incredible match.

Anticrisis prices

  The school market is called “Mercapillo”, that comes from “mercadillo”. 

  
  It's going to be opened today (Monday, 3rd) and tomorrow (Tuesday, 4th) at break time in the playground.

There, you'll find a lot of handedness made by the children from 5 and 6 primary.

 Prices are always low because the objective is to have fun and to do different thing on class, instead of being sitting in a chair studying.

 So, if you have a little free time, you can go there to see all thing that our little artist have made.
