Álamos del prado,fuentes de Madrid,como estoy sin blancamurmuráis de mi.
Álamos cubiertosde hojas por abril,como yo desnudosde maravedís;fuentes que regáistanto perejil,
como estoy ausentemurmuráis de mi.
Cuando tuve plataun sol parecí;cuando tengo cobreparezco un candil.Cantasteis corriendoa su retintín;como estoy sin blancamurmuráis de mi.

Las Burgas: Orense
The town of Orense, of remote origin, developed around the Fountain of the Burgas.Thermal waters spring, in its surroundings, Roman remains have been found, among them the nymphs altar of As Burga Today it is located at the Archaeological Museum of the town, but a copy can be seen by the fountains.It has three open air thermal fountains, with an average temperature between 64º and 68º: Burga de Arriba, the oldest, from the XVII c.; Burga do Medio, attached to the wall and in the modern style; and Burga de Abaixo, of neoclassic style projected by the architect Trillo in the second half of the XIX c.There are several legends that try to explain the origin of the thermal waters; a volcano under the near Montealegre Mountain; or that it comes from the feet of the Santo Cristo.

PROCESS AND EVALUATION:1º. - The student will solve his/her investigation working individually, using the resources provided by his/her teacher (internet, encyclopaedias, specialistbooks, note cards, brochures …)2º. - Team work: pooling all individual findings. Making a mural board, brochureor any other information medium.3º. - Presentation to the class group of their proceeds.
METHODOLOGICAL FOCUSING
The methodology implemented for working with our students is based in a constructive focusing, that advocates learning by means of building their knowledge day by day, as a result of the student’s interaction with his/herambiance and surroundings. Therefore, it is our aim that the student buildshis/her own outlook of reality.The final educational goal is to contribute to the students whole development,thus we should promote the development of the individual’s diverse abilities inall fields, not only in the cognitive field, but also in the linguistic, social,
affective and emotional.In our educational centre, we find students from a very diverse background, towhich is difficult to reach using traditional methodology.Thus, we base our educational performance towards cooperative working that enables us the development of our students in accordance to their abilities
and possibilities. Thus the students with high abilities will be the ones that will specially benefit by this way of learning.This methodology carries a precise distribution in small groups of 6-7
students. They themselves, make clear guidelines for their own group, requiring all themembers assent, its breach means withdrawing the privilege of belonging toa team.This distribution favours the creation of flexible groups; for big, small groups and individual work.
Starting from the use of reflective and interdisciplinary learning, above all in the
last cycles; meaning: to encourage the student reflection before given a hasty
answer and where all the areas are inter related, as in real life each item of knowledge is used in relation with all we know.Therefore, our educational role is mainly based in presenting a problemsituation to the students providing some guidelines (text support, teacher’s explanations, search possibilities…) that they should solve or at least trying
tomake their own hypothesis. For this purpose they have at their disposalbibliography in the classroom (we have got a library in the classroom) andmaterial provided by the teacher that enables solutions. In this way, they
startby comparing their finds and opinions to uphold their position as a team.Afterwards, the teacher helps them to shape their ideas and offers themguidelines to arrive to a right solution.Their finds must finally be presented to their classmates by an oral
presentationand a paper written individually, so, each student will be able to make its own auto evaluation. This individual work is important because increases their
self esteem and the confirmation of their individual knowledge.Most of the written work is exhibited in an area for this purpose in the classroom so the value of their effort is in full view.

THE SPANISH EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
1) GENERAL OVERVIEW. The 1990 Organic Act on the General Organization of the EducationalSystem (LOGSE) regulates and governs Special Education within theGeneral Educational Plan , incorporates it into the mainstream system andintroduces the concept of Special Educational Needs.. This term covers either the most common, temporary and momentary needsto those of a more permanent nature.. AII needs are supposed to be attended within the framework: of an educationthat is comprehensive and open to diversitv.. The concept Special Education must be understood as the whole set ofmaterial and personal resources that are made available to the educationalsystem in order to suitably respond to the temporary or permanent needsthat some pupils might have.. The Law also distinguishes between pupils with special educational needsdue to socially or culturally unfavorable situations (see Compensatory.Education) and those who need special attention due other reasons (eitherthose with physical, physhic or sensory disabilities, or gifted and talentedstudents).. Under the legal framework established by the Organic Law, eachAutonomous Community is elaborating its own action model in the field ofSpecial Education.
II) THE LOGSE. LEVELS AND AGE GROUPS.
The schooling time for an average Spanish child can be divided into variousstages:
. NON-COMPULSORY EDUCATION
1. Pre-primary Education. It is a non-compulsory level, although the Madrid Autonomous Community has understood the importance of financing this first level of education. The teacherlstudents ratio is 25.There are two different levels:
a) From O to 3 years: It is usually taught at Infant Schools.b) From 3 to 6 years: More and more frequently, this level is taught at Primary schools.
. COMPULSORY EDUCATION. The period of cost-free and compulsoryschooling set down by the LOGSE covers ten years, from 6 to 16 years of age, and is broken into two education stages:
1. Primary Education (6 to 12 years).2. Secondary Education (12 to 16 years)
Compulsorv Education is conceived of as a Dublic service and therefore is runbv the State.After this schooling process, the student obtains a Certificate on SecondaryEducation
..
NON-COMPULSORY UPPER SECONDARY EDUCATION AND UNIVERSITY.
1. Baccalaureate
2. Professional Training Programmes
3. Social Guarantee Programmes
Both numbers two and three are oriented to a faster transition to adult lifeand the professional world.
JUSTIFICATION

VALUATION OF THE EXPERIENCE
We are very satisfied with this experience. It has been a very attractive changein our daily routines.Starting in a experience like this which we get involved in making our own materials is in itself satisfactory.We are aware that everything that is done with illusion obtain the best results,all those experiences have won no only due its scientific character but the enthusiasm that the pupils have dealt in it.
LEGISLATION – COMUNIDAD DE MADRIDThe most recent legislation regarding intellectually gifted pupils and their specifec educational needs moving up an academic school year is from 21st of January 2005.It states:The level of superior intellect will be identified through psychopedagogical evaluation.The evaluation of the pupil will be carried out by the department of orientation.The student´s psychopedagogical assesment should be kept confidentially in their academic records but should be available to the professionals who should familiarize themselves with it.The pupils will only move up a year if the educational measures are considered insufficient to meet their needs and development.When it is recognised that this “special measure” will be taken, the parents of the pupils will be informed and asked for their written consent.The pupil will then be moved up a year.This measure can be applied a maximum of 3 times in obligatory education and once in higher education.Once the educational needs of the pupil have been recognised, the staff, with the parent´s consent, will request his or her assesment.From the 15th February to the 15th April the head of the Centre will put forward the request for skipping a school year with the following documents:
.Completed psychopedagogical report.
.Staff report.
.Written parental consent.The staff and the team in charge of orientation will be responsible for assesing The effectiveness of the method used, and will be annuled if the pupil doesn´t meet all the stated criteria.
