LET´S FIND OUT

  Planting seeds is a hands-on way to teach kids about the life cycle of plants.

The students in groups prepare all the neccesary elements to plant a seed and make it grow.

They will need:

• A packet of seeds
• A small pot
• Some potting soil

 The process allows kids the opportunity to view

 germination and root growth as it happens, with 

an additional focus on soil, water and light requirements.

Growing plant seeds with kids teaches them how nature works, responsibility in caring for something, an interest in the environment

   

Once the seeds have sprouted and entered the maintenance phase, each child ends the project with a young plant that will serve as a reminder of their labor.

TEACHING VOCABULARY

LEARNING VOCABULARY MUST BE FUN

A group pupils of second of Primary are showing us how this can be done.

All estudents take part in the activity

The activity consist on  identifying a written word or expression in such a way that every time they see it they know what it means.  

 

 They match it with a colourful picture displayed in the classroom.

 Everyone can see and think about what his/her classmate is doing.

Apart from that,  the students prepared a mini book that everyone uses in class. 

  Here, in the picture, Irene is asking her classmates words, sentences, and some basic  concepts of grammar included in the didactic units.

This active way of learning vocabulary  becomes a  fun  classroom game where everyone participates.

 It also helps our students to be ready for "The Starters" Cambridge Examination.

COOKING DAY

Last Friday we cooked truffles with 4 year- old children.

 This project is related to  food. 

These are the ingredients

Butter,  flour, sugar, vanilla,  powdered milk, powdered cocoa

They loved mixing them with their hands

They had fun

Apart from having a good time...

They learned vocabulary and practiced the stuctures used.

They children could finally ate the truffles they cooked.

Yummy, yummy delicious!

Our activity consists of:

 1.     Everything was ready for them

2.      We named the vocabulary all together

3.      Ready, steady,…GO!

4.      They mixed all the ingredients by themselves

5.      We learned to share.

An incredible experience

Peace at School

In every group the teachers of English have been preparing the students for the celebration of  the Peace Day on the 30th of January. 

   They have talked in English about the values of being in peace, about friendship and care for others.

They decorated the classrooms and

 draw pictures. 

They sang and listen to songs and poems about peace.

The celebration started in the afternoon, reading the students´poems and singing in Spanish and English.

We all carried a baloon with our special wish of peace.

They enjoy thowing baloons to the sky, joining everyone´s  wishes of peace.
