THE FOOD TRAIN CHANT !

Hi everybody!
As you know, the way children learn a new language is very important. 
Games are extremely significant for them. 
Because of this reason, we use funny activities in the english lessons. 
The next one is a good example:
 they can practice phonetics through a topic and a game (building a train ).
They have enjoyed a lot with this food train chant! 
Let's listen to it and let's play with them to reinforce english at home!

SPRING IS IN THE AIR !

What season do you think the song is about? 
Autumn, Winter, Spring or Summer?

SPELLING IS FUN !

Hi you all!

Sometimes you have problems when you want to add something in your writings. 
If you are a little forgetful, it's very common to commit spelling mistakes. But, don't worry!

Remember that a/an is different from AND. 

Here you have a very energetic video to explain this. Pay attention please! You won't forget it!

HAPPY SAINT GEORGE'S DAY

Saint George is the patron saint of England and Catalonia, and Saint George's Day is England's and Catalonia’s national Day.

It has been a very special day, today. We have celebrated "Jocs Florals" and we have talked about the catalan legend. Here you have a short movie that explains this legend with cute pictures. 
After that, you can see some photos of 
Joanot Alisanda's "Jocs Florals" . 
Congratulations to all the winners and participants!

EARTH DAY

We celebrate the Earth Day today !
What does it mean? It means that people around the world are becoming more and more conscious of the urgent need to reduce pollution and save the environment every day.
Earth Day is not just a celebration, it is a call for action! 
Then, here we go!

4th graders had three lessons on this topic last week and we established some categories in the school and some in the classroom to analyze our immediate environment.
Children concluded that there are lots of things we can do in the school and also at home. 
Here you have some of the main ideas they said:

• To take shorter showers.
• To turn off the tap while you are brushing your teeth.
• To turn the lights off when you are not using a room.
• To walk or cycle more.
• To take public transport.
• To reduce plastic.
• To reuse more.

By the way, I want to share with you this green memory game. I hope you like it!
