BOOK DAY 2013

We did many activities: Animal bookmarks, worksheets and we listened a funny song.

Pupìls of the sixth level are going to read the chapter one of The Little  Prince in English at the reading time, because this is one of the activities of the library for all the school (in Spanish). Then they are going to complete a worksheet about Saint -Exupéry's life and a wordsearch with words about the book.

This activity is made for me with information  that I found at the web.
