Hello everyone,

Libraries day is celebrated is in Spain on 24th October every year since 1997.

It commemorates the destruction of Sarajevo National Library in 1997 during the Balcans War. 

Do you usually borrow books from your school or town library? Do you like bibliopatio?

How many libraries are there in your village or town?

Do you usually visit libraries when you travel? I do.

Let me share these two libraries I visited in Belfast last summer.

Belfast Central Library is a Public library in Royal Avenue, Belfast.

If you go inside, you will see this beautiful Dome.

The Linen Hall Library is one of the hidden treasures in Belfast and it is also the the oldest library in Belfast. The library was founded in Belfast as the "Belfast Reading Society" whose aim was to promote knoledge and "to excite a spirit of enquiry".

"Weaving Communities" is the theme in Spain this year.

Let's learn a little more about this special day.

 Hi everyone,

Let's celebrate European Day of Languages. Do you promote plurilingualism in your school, your family, among your friends, your village, your city? We love learning new languages. 

We have been celebrating  European Day of Languages every year since 2012 on 26 September together with our friends from Stamford Green Primary School, England.

We are going to investigate languages spoken in United Kingdom and Eire, apart from English and our friends are going to investigate languages spoken in Spain apart from Spanish. 

We also want to learn more about the origin of those languages.

We consider linguistic diversity very important because it connects people to their histories, families, homes and friends. It is also an expression of creativity, intelligence and innovation of humans.

 Hello everyone,

It's doubtless that one of the "must see" bars in Belfast is "The Duke of York" where you can sample the real flavour of Belfast. I loved going there Fridays and Saturdays in order to enjoy the live music and the worm and cosy atmosphere.

It's incredible the unique decoration inside the bar: mirrors, clocks, bottles, glasses, lamps.

I loved all the music, but the crowd got crazy when they played:

"Take me home, country roads" by John Denver.

 Hello everyone,

My first day in Belfast City was sunny in spite of the neon umbrellas at the colourful street Commercial Court in the Cathedral Quarter which ask the visitors:

 Hello everyone,

My teacher Ryan played the song "Belfast City" by Ryan McMullan, a songwriter and singer who can also play the piano and the guitar although his voice is possibly his best instrument.

This is the song who gave everybody goose bumps even though most of us had listened to it. It was the last day leaving Belfast and the emotion was really strong to the point of making us cry with feels.

The fist time I listened to the song, at The Thirsty Goat Pub, it blew me away.

Let's listen to it. 

 Hello everyone, 

Queen Victoria granted Belfast the status of the city and a grand and magnificent building was required for its new status. The City Hall opened its doors on the 1st August 1906. It was designed by Alfred Brumwell Thomas and it cost 369,000 pounds.

If you take the tour on one of the daily guided public tours of the buildings, you will see the beautiful Belfast Coat of Arms on the floor. The seahorses remind us the maritime importance of Belfast, as does the ship at the base of the shield.
