Are you ready for the Innocents' Day?

We will celebrate the Holy Innocents' Day tomorrow. Some people will play all kind of jokes and foolishness. However, the most famous tradition in our country says that you have to hang a "llufa" on the friends' and people's back. But, do you know how to make one? It's very easy, you need a newspaper and scissors.
First, take out a page from the newspaper and fold it as an acordion. Look at the picture:







Now, it's time to cut the "llufa".
Look at the pictures...and that's all! When you open the "acordion" you will have a "llufes"' chain. Now you can use it as you want: you can decorate your bedroom or you can cut the chain and you will obtain lots of "llufes".


Remember this tradition is in Spain because different countries around the world have a similar date on the 1st of April and they call it April Fools' Day.

British life and culture

A journalist is someone who investigates, collects or presents information. This can be presented through newspapeers, magazines, radio, television and the internet. Look at this video. It deeps into British life and culture.

When we talk about the written press in Britain there are some differences between a Tabloid and a Broadsheet, aren't they?
What do you think about having TV in the bedroom?

Daily songs for very young children

The morning



Open your eyes,
shake your head,
look at the sun,
make the bed.
Drink your juice,
brush your teeth, 
go to school,
wave to me.



Rock, scissors, paper





The senses song



The food train chant
