Book's Day

We celebrated our own Book's Day at school. 

Teachers  played the "invisible friend's game",  and each one gave a present to other. Thanks everybody.  It was  a nice day.!!!

Good bye Chloe, our friend

Good Bye Chloe and have a good life!

This is Chloe's tree 

All our pupils signed the beautiful book that 3º X gave her as a present

We all enjoyed and wanted to stay with her

Here is our native speaking "teacher",  very near the end of the year with us. She is preparing her coming back to England and we are very sorry about it but very happy because she was  here in our school. Thanks Chloe for your patience and your sweet helping!!!
Have a very good summer at home!!!
