Fiesta fiesta fiesta!!

Had a very long 5 day weekend...it rained Wednesday morning so there was no school, and then it was cancelled Thursday due to a 'rain alert' from the Ministry of Education. It didn't rain Thursday.

This meant time for lots of fiestaaaaaa!

Started Wednesday night with some 2x1 mojitos in La Calzada and then we went to the karoake bar 'Be':

too many Germans!

Thursday night we went to a Jazz Concert, which was part of the Jazz Festival this weekend:

It was in the Hotel Granada and it was very dark and very silent, with this Glockenspeil thing being played. I thought jazz was a bit louder and more exciting...?! Then it finished and we went to 'Conchis' salsa bar:

Salsaaaa

Friday night we started in 'Kellys' bar with some rum and coke:

and then went to 'Be' (again!)

Lots of reggaeton my favourite :) Granada's favourite song at the moment!

 

Danza Kuduro

Maybe we had a bit too much rum and reggaeton Friday night, as Saturday we found ourselves in 'Nectar' with a nice diet coke. Then of course more salsaaaa in 'Conchis' :)

Thinking the weekend was over...no, no, no! Everyone wanted to go out Sunday toooo! Went for dinner in the bar with the 2x1 mojitos (y) and then to 'Conchis' for live reggae music!!!

That was very fun...lots of hippies tho but I fitted right in as I had my beautiful Barcelona trousers on!

And then Monday morning back to school:

Last week :'(

Decided to teach the time this week as they are always looking at the clock I have round my neck asking what the time is. However more children can't tell the time (even in Spanish!) than I thought... Our worksheets we made with empty clocks for them to draw the hands on was perhaps a bit too adventurous! For most of them I was teaching how to tell the time with my clock made from a paper plate and two hands. 'So the small hand is on the 4 and the big hand is on the 12 it's four o'clock..' etc. Most of them actually had no clue and last week most of them couldn't tell me what 12 - 3 was, so have no idea what they are being taught in these schools if they can't do basic maths or tell the time!
