What  colour    is     our  school?

Hello, how are you doing? We are children. We like to play, study, work as a team, have and give lots of ideas because we're creative.

Our school has so many colours that we cannot tell what colour the school is. 

We have already discovered that it's where we learn, it's big, it has lots of people and it's fun. School is our great friend. It's our magical house.

In this magical house, not only are there lots of colours, but there's also a team of boys with superpowers.

We experimented with them. We mixed, stirred and discovered that...

Our school is orange. 

It has an orange slide.

This slide is in the playground, where one sunny day someone came down and heard a scream.

Henrique, being a boy with special powers, ran to try to help. He tried to figure out what was going on, but he could not understand why a classmate could not stop crying.

Henrique told him to take a deep breath and after a while the boy calmed down. 

He had only been frightened by a tiger.... They went to look and it turned out to be just a stuffed tiger making sounds.

Orange could be the colour of our school, but...

Our school is yellow! Yellow brown.

Because when the sun rises, our school shines.

We love the sun and we like to shine with it when we go to the playground.

On a day when the sun was shining like never before, the superheroes saved us from an angry basketball that was tired of being used. 

Everyone tried to dribble the ball, but it bounced higher and higher and ran away.

The boys with special powers came up with a strategy: they surrounded the ball together and managed to get it into the twisted yellow brown hoop.

Yellow brown could be the colour of our school, but...

Our school is aqua green! That's for sure!

Because every now and then a mermaid with a tail of aqua green scales bathes in our shower.

Her scales shine so brightly they look like emeralds.

She's the little mermaid. She was invented by the Danish writer and lives in Copenhagen, but sometimes she comes to visit us. 

When she visits, she always brings lots of algae and aqua green fish, which leave our bathroom smelling like the sea. 

This mermaid loves to sing to everyone, especially our super-powered mates.

Aqua green could be the colour of our school, but...

Our school is green! Just green. Neither dark nor light, neither water nor lemon.

See if we are right:

The most fun activity we do in the multipurpose room is when we talk about food: very green fruit and vegetables. Apples. Peppers. Lettuces.

Diogo likes to talk about green things and tell jokes that we laugh our heads off. 

On the day of the funniest activity, he saved us because a giant green broccoli appeared. 

Right there, in that room, he talked to the vegetable, who agreed to be everyone's friend.

Green could be the colour of our school, but...

Our school is sky blue!

There's blue everywhere, but the classrooms are the colour of the sky.

Inside there are teachers and pupils who dream of the clouds that appear there.

Dreams give way to adventures and Super Leonor, who dreams of being a teacher, on a normal day like many others, climbed up into the clouds, climbing a ladder of letters. 

In the blue sky she found the pencils we all use to imagine and colour new adventures.

Blue could be the colour of our school, but...

Our school is brown!

We all help our teachers, but Rúben is very good at running errands. 

One autumn day he went to the teachers' room to pick up a drawing of an acorn.

He has super hearing and heard a noise... Knock. Knock. Knock. He heard it getting louder and louder. It was a brown squirrel!

Rúben had a super idea: to take in all the animals he could find and protect them.

He is an inventor and even wants to be an engineer! He turned the printer into a fantastic machine and printed a house to shelter the animals.

Brown could be the colour of our school, but...

Isn't it better to be grey? Do you know why?

Yesterday we were in the canteen with our super powerful friend Laura.

When we looked ahead we saw a mascot. It was an elephant!

Laura screamed because the mascot was her favourite colour: grey!

She was so happy that she invited him to join us for lunch.

Suddenly, another guest appeared: a grey hippopotamus!

Yesterday we were confused, nervous, scared, amazed and curious. But next to Super Laura we don't need to be afraid.

Grey could be the colour of our school, but...

Our school is black! 

Because we love Halloween!

On the last one we celebrated, in the kindergarten room, they did a project with charcoal, a blackboard, crow and blackbird feathers.

In a second, Martim, the super powerful boy, appeared and helped finish the project. He added coffee beans and drawings of flies. There was also a nice witch in a black dress, pointed hat, broomstick and striped socks in different colours, making potions with flies and crow and blackbird feathers.

When they finished the project, they went to present it to the other classes.

Black could be the colour of our school, but...
