Carrilet has 110 steps! We are a green school. Therefore we use boxes to keep the breakfast instead of foil paper; we recycle; and we have a vegetable garden which is looked after by a grandfather.

Our school is in Palafrugell, a big town in Baix Empord, Girona.

We can go to the beach in Tamariu, LLafranc and Calella, which are very closed.

We speak Catalan and Spanish. All the students in the school like playing football, studying English, playing music and going to holiday camps. We also like reading. From 5 pm to 6pm we can do some of these activities. We study Les Gavarres, a group of mountains that we can see from Palafrugell.

We do theatre. In third grade we are practicing a horror and funny play. Meanwhile, in sixth grade they are preparing films. We also do workshops and radio. It is called radio Xiulet. We explain all the schools news and people from town can listen to the program three times per year. http://www.xtec.cat/ceipcarrilet/html/curs%2008-09/08-09%20radio.htm We sing different songs along the year as Pentagrama, El follet valent, Les notes and La castanyera rockera. We celebrate Sant Jordi. Girls give books to boys and boys give roses to girls. During that day, everybody reads books. We also celebrate Christmas, Carnival, la Castanyada and the Day of Peace. In Christmas we meet our family and we eat grapes and torrons.
