CONSUMER
EDUCATION AND THE CHANGE OF SEASON
During
the month of April, we celebrate different activities in the school
in relation to consumer
and vial education and the change of season.
We promote children’s physical, psychological and social health,
growth and development.
Our
students are helped to be conscious of themselves in relation to
other people and the environment providing them with positive
experiences and opportunities to participate.
Children’s
abilities to understand and take responsibility for their own health
and safety are promoted in everyday situations.
Children
are guided to move safely in and around their immediate
environment.They are guided to take care of their health and daily
personal hygiene.
The
acquisition of healthy eating habits acquire a great importance not
only in the school but also in the family through activities and
behaviours. They are guided to get good personal relationships and
to develop the emotional intelligence.Children’s growth and
development is supported by the correct balance between work, rest
and recreation.
Almost
all parents agreed that healthy food habits need to be initiated
early in life and our school pays particular attention in helping the
children to acquire these healthy dietary behaviours.

Aproximation to the literature with the story of the little prince by Antoine de Saint Exupéry.
The
narrator is a pilot who has craslanded in a desert and while trying
to mend
his
aircraft he is interrupted by a small boy who asks him to draw a
sheep. And thus a series of conversations begins between himself and
the Little Prince.He explains that he travels through the universe
from asteroid to asteroid populated by one inhabitant.The prince has
also cultivated a precious rose on his planet and discover that roses
are so common on Earth. A fox convinces the prince that he is
responsible for loving the rose and that this act of giving provides
his life with meaning.Satisfied, the prince returns to his planet.
Saint-Exupéry
believed firmly that children see the important things in life such
as the bonds of friendship and responsibility more clearly than
adults do because they see with their hearts not just with their
eyes….
