Happy Easter !

Let's celebrate and share our Easter traditions!

You can buy and boil some eggs. After that, dye them as the picture above. 
You will enjoy a lot if you share that task with your friends or your family as well. 
After that, you can hide the eggs and play with your friends. 
You can also give them as a present for Easter Monday!

Easter is coming!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

 Today is the anniversary of the day St. Patrick died many hundreds of years ago.

He lived in the fifth century, that's more than 1.500 years ago! 

St. Patrick is Ireland's patron saint. 

That means that people from Ireland believe that he protects them.

But who was St. Patrick? 
Also, this day is well known for a number of its traditions.
But, how do we celebrate his day? Here you have some recipes and craft ideas to celebrate it.
Families let me say that students will have the opportunity to have some information about the celebration with the presentation below. They also will learn what a shamrock is and some vocabulary about the legend with this wordsearch

St. Patrick's day from Inès Rosado

The picture below will help 4th graders to choose the name of their personal leprechaun depending on their personal names and the month they were born.

I'm a little leprechaun

This St. Patrick's Day cute song for young children is delightful!

Wear green next Tuesday!

Hi everyone!

St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner. So, why don't we wear something green on Tuesday? 

That's an amazing idea. Can you imagine everyone at school wearing something that reminds you St. Patrick's?

Come on! Don't be shy and remember to prepare your green hat, t-shirt, shoes, jeans, trousers...whatever you want.

Meanwhile, here you have a clear video that explains the tradition.

See you next Monday.

Positive and negative shapes

The uses for paper in the English lessons are infinite. You can do whatever you want for developing imagination, motivation and surprise.
I have done this introduction because students and me explored differences in positive and negative spaces using colourful paper.

Let me remember that a positive space is a shape cut from a paper and a negative shape is the hole from which the positive shape was cut.

In the last lessons we designed some characters doing daily activities.

For more information about positive-negative art click on the link. 
There's a short video clip explaining the positive negative art form, plus some cool samples like this

Have a look:

As a whole group, brainstorm what things students like about Halloween and list them on the board.  Then discuss the negative aspects of the holiday and things that they don't like about Halloween.  Write those on the board as well.  
The lists can help students with spelling, as well as deciding what things they want to include in their own writing prompt. 
I've always been intriqued by the positive negative aspects of art, and the fun things you can create around that concept.
