The festival of San Isidro is a perfect opportunity to transmit the richness of our traditions and to bring the little ones closer to the culture of Madrid. At Casvi BoadillaSchool, we have turned this celebration into an educational and festive experience that has filled our classrooms and playgrounds with joy.
KNOWING AND VALUING ABOUT MADRID CULTURE : SAN ISIDRO
For several days, the pupils took part in creative workshops and didactic proposals that allowed the children to explore the typical customs of San Isidro. They designed their own shawls, worked on coordination and rhythm through the chotis dance and got to know some of the most representative traditions of Madrid.
These activities not only encourage creativity, but also help to develop a sense of belonging and respect for cultural heritage. The involvement of teachers and students has been key to creating a festive and enriching atmosphere.
CELEBRATING SAN ISIDRO WITH MUSIC, DANCE AND TRADITIONAL COSTUMES
The most special moment of the week came on the very day of San Isidro, when our students , transformed into authentic chulapos and chulapas, danced the chotis that they had practised so hard during the previous days. Dressed for the occasion and with the typical accessories, such as carnations and shawls, the little ones gave us a display of enthusiasm and joy that will remain in our memories.
The San Isidro festival in Casvi Boadilla has been much more than a celebration, an opportunity to continue learning through experience, with activities that combine values, artistic expression and knowledge of the cultural environment. An experience full of colour, music and enthusiasm that has united the whole school community. Happy San Isidro!
At Casvi Boadilla School we believe in a comprehensive education that goes beyond academics.
