Activities on line

Dear families and children!
Second term has already begun and we have to follow with our activities.
Students from 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade are working in Unit 3 in their books. So, remember that checking what they are learning at school through activities on line, it's a good way to refresh and to reinforce what they have learnt in the English lessons.

Rock, scissors, paper

Hi everyone,
although some people say that today is a blue Monday arguing that it's a very sad day, we don't agree with them, do we?
We have just started our "Creative week" and 1st graders and me designed some objects with our hands just only with an easy song:
"Rock, scissors, paper
Rock, scissors, paper
1, 2, 3
play with me.
Right hand,...
Left hand,.... "

Look at the pictures and this video.
Can you find more objects and animals just using "rock, scissors and paper"?

On the pic above you have a helicopter
the one below, glasses


                     
A snail is the animal on the right.

What is creativity?

Hi families,
it will be an important week the next one.
We will cope with CREATIVITY in different workshops.
Albert Einstein said that "creativity is intelligence having fun".
Artists are very creative as the picture and the video below show you. 



 Now, tell me:
Are you ready to face with creativity next week?
Hope we all enjoy!

Three Kings' Day

January 6th is Three kings Day. 
Traditionally, children receive gifts on this day, brought by the three kings, Melchor, Gaspar and Baltazar.
So... Are you excited? 
We will enjoy the procession tomorrow evening. 
Watch this Christmas carol written by John Henry Hopkins, who wrote both the lyrics and the music.
  
By the way, catalonian families will usually celebrate Three Kings Day with a scrumptious dinner that is topped off with the King's Bread for dessert. 
Children also wear a crown at the table in honor of the kings. 
Here you have my last king's special bread made at home last year.
Delicious!
