Three Wise Men Present for Asturian Friends

During our geography lessons our teacher, Mr. Smit , used a miniature house to teach us about scale. This little house was in fact a florist shop in Dicken's style, nicely illuminated and supplied with a musical box. As flowers are typical for Holland and Dickens could be associated with our bilingual lessons, we decided to send the house to our bilingual friends from IES Cuenca del Nalón. Fortunately our teacher went together with his wife to Asturias during the Christmas break, so he could hand it over to one of their teachers, Ms. Pilar Cuello Alonso. We realize that Spanish kids, unlike us, get their presents on January 5th, celebrating the arrival of the Three Wise Men, so this present with all our names on it will hopefully be on time or just a little bit late. We really thanks the students of our Spanish partnerschool for their contributions to our site and we look forward to meeting you many times again!! And if you would like to come over to Holland, we will arrange a homestay for you! As well as an interesting programme, among others to many more miniature buildings in Madurodam! !Hasta luego!
