Folklore / fiesta
Spanish term or phrase: se hace por ciclos o por cursos
Hi,

Please see:
http://www.educa.madrid.org/web/cp.garciamarquez.getafe/Web/...

La fiesta de fin de curso se celebra el último día lectivo del curso escolar.

Suele ser una fiesta que se hace por ciclos o por cursos.

Best wishes,

held by key stage or by year
Explanation:
This would be translating it in terms of the British equivalent. The ciclos are groups of years, and that way of grouping years is called Key Stage in UK.

Primary in Spain is divided into three ciclos (and this is the translation refers to a colegio público, ie a state primary school), of two years each.

Perhaps you could call it "lower school" "middle school" and "upper school".

Actually having looked at your link, I wd now suggest "held for those finishing pre-school, and for those finishing second, fourth and sixth years" or something like that. Since infantil is also a ciclo and I would expect it to have been included there.
