As you all know, the 28th of February is the Day of Andalusia and at our school we celebrated it on a large scale. From 9 until 12 o’clock children participated in different workshops to learn and enjoy the culture that surrounds them.
 
The little ones enjoyed making crafts and created their own shawls. They also showed their culinary skills cooking colourful muffins simulating the Andalusian flag. They were really delicious!

Some children worked hard to make their Andalusian flags, using olives, pickles, cheese and chives. They also had a great time creating their flamenco masks to make a photocall.

The older ones did a research project of interesting facts about Andalusia, to later participate in a Kahoot. They were very excited about the game! In addition, they learned amazing things about the place where they live.

In addition, we organized an Andalusian breakfast and all the children tasted our delicious bread with olive oil and sugar. And, what would the Andalusian culture be without flamenco? Since music is a great part of Andalusia, we were very lucky to enjoy the talented guitarist Daniel Casares (one of the five most popular guitarist in Spain), Miguel Ortiz ‘Nene’ playing the cajón and the flamenco singer Manuel Peralta.

They delivered a music workshop with Year 6 and 7 students, and in our final assembly, they played and sang for us in order to bring a bit of Andalusian rhythm. In the end, we all danced to the sound of the palms and the Andalusian cajón.

Overall it was a day full of emotions and wisdom. It was a fantastic day for the children to connect a little more with everything that this magical land in which they live offers.
