Class description:

The students in this elementary class are between 11 and 12 years old. They are 25 students in each classroom (15 girls and 9 boys in 6to C – 16 girls and 10 boys in 6to D). The class starts at 15:45 in the afternoon, until 16:25 in one of the classrooms. Once the class finish, and after a ten minutes break, the second class starts at 16:35 until 17:15. Usually, students enter to the classroom very excited and noisy since they come from the break. After that it takes more or less 10 minutes to calm them down. Nevertheless, they work very hard and effectively when the activities are
