  3. Fold over the four corners, into the middle.
  4. Fold into fourths again

An amazing ending

Hi 1st graders!

After watching the Gingerbread story,  you  decided that the bird didn't eat the gingerbread man and we thought about an ending.

Let's see if this ending likes you...

The Gingerbread man

Hi everyone! How is all going? 

A new week is here and we have lots of things to do.

Reuse and recycle whatever you can, as this song says!

 

Classroom names for 2nd grade

This school year brings black holes and horses to 2nd grade

2ndA group are black holes, but what are they?
Have you ever had to vacuum your bedroom? When you do, watch closely because you will see the dirt and crumbs start to move towards the vacuum cleaner.  A black hole is similar to a vacuum cleaner, cleaning up debris left behind in outer space.

However, it is not suction power that makes things fall into a black hole.  Suction would not be strong enough.  Instead, a black hole uses the power of gravity to pull things towards it.

                             2ndB group is working on horses. 

We are learning the actions that horses do and also new vocabulary about them.

Besides that, we have discovered fun facts about them:

. They can sleep both lying down and standing up.

. Their lifespan is around 25 years.

. They have around 205 bones in their skeleton.

...

Here you have this funny song from "kids songs" by Patty Shukla

How does the heart work?

As 4th graders know, our heart is a hard-working muscle

and is one of the most important organs in the human body.
So let's pay attention to this video and you will learn new facts about the body's engine.

Incy Wincy Spider

It's a rainy and sunny day Today.

The leaves have changed into their fall colors and the breeze is in the air. Halloween is right around the corner and it's time for "castanyada" too. Today we have a special celebration at school. Most of families have brought chestnuts and delicious cakes to school and 6th graders have prepared lots of games for the rest of students at school. So you are probably exciting and waiting for the afternoon. 

Nevertheless, remember that we are working on the Halloween theme. Never fear because there is still a lot of funny activities we will do in our English lessons.

Basic vocabulary for 3rd graders

Hi everyone!

3rd graders are learning the English alphabet. Among different activities I want to show you some poems they wrote playing with their names. The presentation below show you a summary of them because they worked individually and thought about a thing they liked. I tried to copy what they described.

  

Peppa Pig and the stars

1stA group has a new name: "The Stars"

Children and me have been talking about them. Children were astonished about what a star is (if you want more information, look at 1st group page on your left of the screen)

Fortunately we found this short movie about Peppa Pig and we enjoyed a lot. Thanks Peppa for being so cute!

Red Riding Hood and Peppa Pig

Hi everyone! 

1stB group has a new name: "The Wolves group"

For that reason we have read the Little Red Riding Hood story today.
We have practiced some structures that the wolf repeats as

Peppa Pig does in this short episode.
Enjoy it!

Why do some leaves change their color in Autumn?

Every Autumn in all the forests of the world, there is a miraculous change in the color of the leaves. They turn from green into brilliant shades of yellow, orange, red, and gold. Sometimes you can see several shades on the same leaf. But why are these color changes happening, and what is going on in the plant?
Read this explanation and you will understand!
Plants make their own food. They take water from the ground through their roots. They take a gas called carbon dioxide from the air. They turn water and carbon dioxide into food using sunlight and something called chlorophyll. This one is green. It gives leaves their green color.

Winter days are short and dry. Many plants stop making food in Autumn. Then, the chlorophyll goes away. Then we can see different colours as orange, yellow, red, gold and also brown. When they are brown, it comes from wastes left in the leaves.
Watch the video!
