We saw "Brave"

Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In "Brave," a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida  confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts. Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor. Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin , surly Lord Macintosh  and cantankerous Lord Dingwall. Merida's actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Wise Woman  for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it's too late.

How does a tree work?  How does it make humus? What is wood? Forests are the most biologically diverse terrestrial ecosystems in the world. They are an environmental reserve where the genetic heritage of billions of years of evolution preserved. Trees regulate moisture and temperature, they control the water cycle, air purifying, favor the formation of humus and protect from erosion.

From the humble earthworm, essential for the formation of humus, to the trees, undisputed protagonists of the exhibition, this tour is the best way to enjoy and understand this complex ecosystem called forest.

Asimismo os dejos un interesante comentario en relación a un artículo escrito en el New York Times denominado "Gym Class Isn’t Just Fun and Games Anymore"

"I am so inspired by this article. Physical education today is very different from when I attended school. I am glad to learn that the days of being picked last, waiting on long lines, not having enough equipment, and dodgeball are being taken out of physical education programs.

Physical education is evolving and I am elated (=very cheerful) that PE is catering it's curriculum toward all children. Shouldn't physical education class be about providing students with different opportunities to become more physically active? Less than one percent of students will become professional athletes so PE programs need to reach the remaining 99 percent of students. Teaching students to set their own fitness goals and learn how to exercise in their target heart rate are strategies for PE classes.

Professional development is important for all teachers including physical education. Let's support physical education and make it a CORE subject just like math, science and language arts.

More PE in schools please!!!"

With our best wishes¡¡¡
