ORDESA NATIONAL PARK: LET IT SNOW


First of all we watched a documentary about Ordesa National Park. In Spain there are 15 national parks and this one was the second one. It is one hundred years old. Then, we visited a room with some extinct animals, like the bucardo, the dodo and the Tasmanian tiger. 
We think that the documentary was interesting, but we preferred the room about the animals. The best thing was the views, with the snow!



FEELING NATURE WITH THE 5 SENSES


We had very good weather this morning. It was sunny. We went to walk next to the river. It was very funny to play with the snow. We made a snowman, his name was Antoñito. He passed away as he lost his head. We will miss you Antoñito! 😁




THE SECRETS BEHINGD CANFRANC STATION


Today we have visited Canfranc International train station. It was built at the beginning of the 20th century. The train station is between France and Spain. In 1970 the train derailed and no more trains can go to France. We think that it was great and finally we enjoyed it a lot.



THE ARRIVAL OF THE GÜIXAS


We saw stalagmites and stalagtites. They looked like octopus, gellyfish and macarroni. We learned that it takes one hundred years for it to grow one centimeter. There were also many bats which were sleeping because of hibernation. The cave had a hole on the ceiling where people used to grow güixas.
From our point of view the cave looks like ice age and we really liked the bats.

TOUR AROUND PAMPLONA This morning we had breakfast, picked up our picnic and then we went to see the historical center of Pamplona.  A nice, bearded man was waiting for us. He was our guide. He took us to the main squares of the city, and he explained us the history of the sculptures, the meaning of the coat of Arms of Navarre… then we went to San Nicolás church, which has a really impressive organ in an upper floor. Finally, he showed us the town hall. It has a very decorated facade. We liked it a lot! TALKING ABOUT THIS AMAZING WEEK We have been talking about what we liked the most during this week.  We have chosen the Zaragoza Aquarium above all, because it was very funny and we learnt a lot. Also, we have been talking about things to change, and we preferred more free time and less bus. Finally, we have played a game to have fun all together and we have gone to have lunch.

ZARAGOZA Natural Science Museum We went to the Natural Science Museum. First, we saw an exhibition about Santiago Ramón y Cajal who was a scientist. He won a Nobel Prize.  Secondly, we went to the old library. Finally, we visited the Evolution of the Earth rooms. We saw different types of fossils. We think it was interesting but at the end it was a little bit long. THE 1000 FACES OF FISH Today we have visited the aquarium in Zaragoza. We have taken many pictures of the fish, sharks, frogs, monkeys… We had to choose the most beautiful and the ugliest fish. We also bought some gifts at the aquarium shops. We have seen the second biggest fish of the river and the most dangerous animal, the amazon frog.  We loved the aquarium because there were many beautiful and interesting fish, but some of them were quite ugly.  It was very exciting to see the biodiversity of the oceans!

JACA-SAN JUAN DE LA PEÑA- FOZ OF LUMBIER THE MAGIC OF LEARNING ABOUT ARCHITECTURE IN JACA Today we went to Jaca and we visited the citadel and the cathedral.   In the cathedral we played a game in English about finding four parts of the cathedral and trying to explain the meaning of those parts. We were very excited and it was cool. IN THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN IN SAN JUAN DE LA PEÑA San Juan de la Peña is near Jaca. It’s half a cave and half a building.  It’s a romanic and gothic monastery. It’s cool because there are tombs of Kings and Queens of Aragón. There was a lot of snow and it was funny. The views of the mountains were awesome! FLYING WITH THE VULTURES IN LUMBIER'S FOZ Today we visited the Foz of Lumbier. We saw different types of trees depending on the leaves.  Then we saw the griffon vulture. Finally we saw a sheep falling down. It was really funny!
