Aunque el tiempo no lo parezca, ¡hoy empieza la primavera! Y qué mejor manera de celebrarlo que con el increíble trabajo de tres alumnas de Bachillerato en nuestra biblioteca.
Por iniciativa propia, han dedicado parte de sus recreos desde el inicio de curso a dar rienda suelta a su creatividad, transformando sus paredes con flores pintadas a mano. Un proyecto lleno de talento, dedicación y arte.
El resultado no podría ser más espectacular. ¡Enhorabuena, chicas!

Hoy en Infantil hemos puesto fin al Carnaval con el tradicional Entierro de la Sardina.
Nuestros alumnos de 5 años han creado una sardina muy especial, y sus compañeros de 3 y 4 años han asistido a la despedida entre canciones y gestos de tristeza. Como manda la tradición, han dicho adiós al Carnaval con semblantes apenados, aunque sabemos que pronto volverá la alegría con nuevas celebraciones. ¡Hasta el año que viene, Carnaval!

Today, in Infants, we bid farewell to Carnival with the traditional Entierro de la Sardina (Burial of the Sardine).
Our 5-year-old students created a very special sardine, and their 3- and 4-year-old classmates attended the farewell, singing and showing their sorrow. As tradition dictates, they said goodbye to Carnival with solemn faces, though we know joy will soon return with new celebrations.
See you next year, Carnival!

¡Hoy hemos vivido un Carnaval mágico en CEM!
Nuestro colegio se ha llenado de imaginación y aventuras con disfraces inspirados en personajes de cuentos. Desde valientes caballeros y intrépidas exploradoras hasta magos, hadas y criaturas fantásticas, cada alumno ha dado vida a su historia favorita. Pero lo mejor no han sido solo los disfraces, sino la oportunidad de compartir y redescubrir la magia de los libros.
Este año, la temática ha girado en torno a los personajes de cuento porque sabemos que la lectura nos transporta a otros mundos, nos enseña valores y despierta la creatividad. A través de sus historias favoritas, los alumnos han recordado que los libros no solo se leen, ¡se viven!
Y después de este día tan especial, llega el momento de un merecido descanso. A partir de mañana, comienzan los días no lectivos para Primaria, Secundaria y Bachillerato, aunque Infantil permanecerá abierto.
¡Feliz Carnaval y a seguir disfrutando de la magia de los cuentos!

Today, we have experienced a magical Carnival at CEM!
Our school has been filled with imagination and adventure, with costumes inspired by storybook characters. From brave knights and fearless explorers to wizards, fairies, and fantastic creatures, each student has brought their favorite story to life. But the best part wasn’t just the costumes—it was the chance to share and rediscover the magic of books.
This year, our theme focused on storybook characters because we know that reading transports us to new worlds, teaches us values, and sparks creativity. Through their favorite stories, our students have been reminded that books are not just read—they are lived!
And after such a special day, it’s time for a well-deserved break. Starting tomorrow, Primary, Secondary, and Baccalaureate will have non-school days, although the Infant stage will remain open.
Happy Carnival, and may the magic of stories continue!
