World Environment Day
World Environment Day is celebrated June 5 and it was instituted by the United Nations to stimulate worldwide awareness of the environment. A day to promote caring for our planet, Earth.

It is an important international organization that promotes world peace, security, cooperation, and understanding.
World Environment Day is celebrated around the world with street rallies, bicycles parades, green concerts, essay and poster competitions in schools, tree planting, recycling efforts, clean-up campaigns and much more.
What can we learn and why is it important to participate and celebrate this day?
We want the world to be safe, clean and beautiful for you as you grow up, and we want your children and their children to have a beautiful world to live in. For that to happen we have to work together to take care of our planet Earth. So today we can celebrate and learn ways we can care for the world we live in.

Martes 2 de junio: Excursión a CANENCIA
Os recordamos que el martes vamos a realizar la actividad complementaria del área de Educación Física llamada "Senda Ecológica Canencia", donde realizaremos distinto tipo de juegos medioambientales, alternativos y sendas ecológicas.
Acordaros de que saldremos a las 9 de la mañana y volveremos a las 4 de la tarde. Los niños que coméis en el comedor del cole no tenéis que llevar comida porque nuestro amigo el cocinero nos preparará unos buenos bocatas, agua y fruta para comer. Los demás no os olvidéis de vuestro pic-nic que ya sabéis que realizando actividades al aire libre nos entra mucha hambre y sed.
No os olvidéis tampoco de llevar ropa y calzado deportivo, una gorra y una mochila con crema solar.
Os adjutamos un enlace para que echéis un vistazo a los lugares que vamos a visitar.

Safe place, stop and wait,
Safe place, stop and wait,
Safe ground, look around,
Listen for a traffic sound,
If traffic’s coming let it pass,
Until the road is clear at last,
Then walking straight across the road,
keep watching, that’s the code!

EARTH DAY: Batteries Impact
22nd April: EARTH DAY
Earth Day is in the Spring Every Year
What is Earth Day?
Earth Day was started in 1970 by a man named John Mc Connell from the United States. It was originally held on the annual celebration of the March Equinox and still is by many people. However, it is generally celebrated on April 22. Earth Day is now celebrated worldwide.
When is Earth Day and Earth Month?
The UN designated April 22 Earth Day and April Earth Month.
What is the History of Earth Day?
Earth Day is a very special day specifically designed for all of us to think about earth issues . It is not only a special day in the town where we live, but a day that the whole world participates in! Often there are celebrations, events or campaigns that concern us with earth matters.
Some towns have Earth Day celebrations, and some people and groups participate in Earth Day projects.
You can participate in one of the existing projects, or start one of your own. Perhaps a small project with your mom or dad such as planting a tree, or a large project with your classroom or neighborhood friends such as a park clean up. The possibilities are endless. Try to think of something you would like to do-you too, can make a difference!
See the Information pages below full of ideas to make Earth Day a meaningful day!
