National Natural Science Museum
In December, the students of grade 4 went on an excursión to the National Natural Science Museum in Madrid. This Museum is one of Spain's oldest museums, founded in 1772 by King Charles III. Today the museum holds over 6 million pieces in its collection and is an important center for research, conservation, and education in the natural sciences. The students saw many exhibits, including dinosaurs, plants, space and time, and humans. We had a great time exploring and learning!

Parque Europa
In November, the students from grade 2 and 3 took a trip to the Parque Europa, a large plot of land that has been converted into a mini tour of Europe’s most famous landmarks and monuments! We saw the London Bridge, the Eiffel Tower, the Trevi Fountain and many more! Not only was this a social science trip, we learned lots about natural science too! There was also ‘El Mujer Gigante´, The Giant Woman, which is a giant structure of a woman with large scale organs inside, where we were taught how the body Works!
