Once upon a time... (6th grade).

...there was a princess. Her name was Isabel. She was young, pretty and clever. She wanted to be a great queen, but it wasn't easy.
By that time, Spain wasn't a country as it is now. It was divided into different kingdoms. Castile was one of them, and Aragon was another. Isabel decided to marry Fernando, prince of Aragon. He was a smart and handsome young boy who wanted to be king as well. Together, they became great kings. They joined together their two kingdoms to create a bigger one. They also conquered the Muslim kingdom of Granada to join it to this kingdom. That would be Spain, just as we know it now (that's what we now as Reconquest).
Of course they didn't do only good things...but bad things as well (as the Inquisition). But kings and queens are also human.
They had 5 children: 4 girls and a boy. Here's what you have to do: could you tell me the names of these children and who did they marry? It's not difficult!! Follow the link!!

Across the universe (3rd and 4th grade).

Our little planet is not alone in the universe, we know that. But...do you really know anything at all about our neighbours? There are eight more planets travelling around our Sun. and all together we form the Solar System. But what's that? What are all the planets like? Could we visite them? Does anybody live there?
You'll find the answer to these (an other) questions if you follow this extremely interesting link.

There's so much to know about the planets!! How about this? Try to discover which one is the hottest, which one's the coldest, which one's the fastest and which one the slowest. Then, let me know if you find out the name and number of moons of them all. Good luck and enjoy!!

Little things around us (1st and 2nd grade)

Who says little things are less important than big ones? I disagree. The world is made of many, many things, and all of them are equally important to create this planet we live in and make it exactly as it is: rich, interesting and beautiful. And...as all thing are important, we should try to know about all of them as much as we can.

Family is an important part of our lives, the most important part, I'd say. But it isn't so just for humans. We can find families everywhere. Animals have families too.
