The 2014 FIBA World Cup Championship will be the 17th edition of the FIBA Basketball World Cup, the tournament previously known as the FIBA World Championship. To be hosted by Spain, it will be the last time the tournament will be held in the current four-year cycle. The next FIBA World Cup will be held five years later, in 2019, to reset the cycle on a different year than the FIFA World Cup.

Madrid will be the main venue, hosting the final and the most matches among the host cities. The Palacio de Deportes de la Comunidad de Madrid will be the venue used for matches in Madrid. On April 17, 2010, Barcelona was added to the list of cities to hold the games.

Carnival

Carnival is a traditional period of fun, feasting and partying. The last 28th February Manuel peleteiro school celebrated a fantastic carnival party, where all students, of primary and secondary could wear funny costumes and enjoy that afternoon. When the bell rang after lunch fifth and sixth classes started running up the stairs waiting for permission to put their amazing costumes on. Later we all went to the auditorium to watch our friends performing. The children joined them singing and clapping. They were all fantastic, and we had a wonderful time.

After the show we went to the playground, and we ate some delicious carnival pastries. We took lots of photos with our friends and teachers. We hope next year, it will be as good as this one, or even better.
