READER: THE UGLY DUCKLING

THE UGLY DUCKLING

It was summertime and in an old farm some ducks popped out of the eggs, except one big and dark.
The small and the big ducks started looking at the strange egg. From the big and dark egg popped out an ugly dark duck. All the animals of the farm wanted that the ugly duckling went out of the farm, because he was ugly.

So he went out of the farm and started walking up to he saw a lake with wild ducks. Maybe I can go with them he thought. He approached them but they saw him and they told him to go because he was very ugly.

The ugly duckling decided to continue walking up to an old cottage, where he decided to sleep.

The next morning, the old lady of the cottage saw the ugly duckling, and she said that if he put eggs he could stay. The little ugly duckling could not, so the old lady throws him out of her cottage.

It was winter and the ugly duckling was shivering and all covered of snow. While he was walking he saw a set of an old badger and he decided to sleep near the badger.

The ugly duckling woke up from his long slumber. He went out of the set.
He feels strange because while he was sleeping his lungs have grown and have become stronger.
The ugly duckling saw a lake and he went inside to swim.
He was going to go in when he looked at the water and he saw the reflect of what he was, A BEAUTIFUL WHITE SWAN!

Art in class








The teacher will show these paintings to the children, in which the topic is traditional games. It is a good way to show them how culture was in their country in the past. That will help them to be aware of the changes that have happened in their country. Making a comparison between how the came was in the past and how is it nowadays.
Now, all the children will play to “Gallinita Ciega” and “Cinquillo”. In the first game, one child will cover his/her eyes with a blinker and all the kids have to move around in order to be catch. If the “hen” grabs on of his/ her classmates, he /she would have to figure out who that person is. In the second game, the children will have to put the card number five on the table, and then they will have to follow the numbers up and down. The winner is the one that runs out of cards first.
