Peace Day

The day before yesterday we celebrated The Peace Day in our school.
Before that day children did different activities.
In the photos below you can see children doing an original plant.
It consists of colouring a flower and write on it a word related to peace.
After that, they stick all flowers together in order to form a large plant.

Other activity was to form a circle on the playground where all children were held hands. They sang the song "Sólo pido la paz" by Jesús Mondéjar.

After that some children read some sentences about peace by famous people like Nelson Mandela, La madre Teresa de Calcuta, et.

THE TALL SHIPS RACES

During this year, is held in Cádiz (Spain), the bicentenary of the Constitution known as "La Pepa" (1812-2012).

Among the many events held, stand The Tall Ships Races.

In the Cádiz´s harbour, we can enjoy tall ships from many cities around the world.

Below, you have a few photos I have made, where you can see the beauty of the sailing boats

as well as other entertainments in which you can enjoy.

In my opinion, if you can afford it, you shouldn´t lose this wonderful event.

Many people waiting in long queues in order to visit the ships

As you can see, some used the occasion to paint pretty pictures,

View of stands where you can buy different souvenirs.

There are many bars and restaurants where you can have a drink or eat a sandwich.

Even there is a small fanfair for children and youth.

Finally, here you have another pictures.

That´s all for today! 

TIME TO REFRESH YOUR SOUL

Perhaps the title of my post can be a bit exaggerated but why not refresh your soul with a fun hobby?
It´s no doubt that there are many ways of entertainment to forget how much trouble we have to face every day.

Personally, I don´t think for refreshing your soul, you have to go to a retreat or do yoga or tai-chi.

It´s as easy as doing a little vegetable garden, among other things, of course.

Fortunately, I have a friends who have a plot in Chiclana de la Frontera (not far from Cádiz). It´s there where we have a little vegetable garden where we enjoy planting different products and, primarily, relax and forget all the problems that affect us everday.

We have planted potatoes, green peppers, spring onions and lettuces.

However, we had to build a fence to protect plants from animals such as dogs, hens and even some rabbits.

We also look after some fruit trees.

Finally, in order to get a fertile soil, we put some dung of horse.

We hope to obtain a good harvest soon!

Note: In order to ilustrate what I´ve said, I´ve put some pictures that you can see below.
