Letters from Scotland

As promised, here you have some pictures about the project with our new friends in Hamilton, Scotland.

Exchange Project With Scotland

This year during the 4th hour of English with Fiona and Aran, our 5th primary students were very excited to hear that they will be taking part in a really exciting project with a primary school in Hamilton, Scotland.

One of the P7 classes (6th primary) at St. Elizabeth's Primary School, Hamilton invited us to create a special project with them so that they can learn all about our lives in Escola Garbi and Catalonia and so our students can learn all about them.

Our 5th level students will only be communicating in English, whilst the pupils from St. Elizabeth's have just started to learn a little Spanish so they will be communicating in English and a little Spanish.

Last week our first set of letters arrived from our new Scottish friends and the Garbi students were very excited to learn about them!

Our letters have been sent in return and we hope that St. Elizabeth's really enjoy them!

We post some photos this week of the Scottish letters.

1st primary: Shapes

The 1st primary students this past two weeks have been learning the names of some shapes such as circle, square, triangle and rectangle. As well as learning to pronounce the shape correctly and learn to read its name in English, they have been using adjectives and colours to describe the shapes the could see e.g. I can see a big, red circle.

So to make the shape work more fun for them, we decided to let their imaginations run free and for them to create a boy or girl out of shapes.

First they had to colours the shapes, then cut them out, make a person, glue it down and finally they had to create a name for their person and write it down!
We saw some really great and original pictures alongside some interesting names! And there were a few Messi, Naymar, Batman, Scoobie, Mr Potaote, Violeta and even a Fiona!

Here are a few photos of the lovely work!

Enjoy!

2nd Primary: Boys and Girls....

Something new that our 2nd Primary students have learning this year is how to use he and she to say if someone is a boy or a girl correctly, which sometimes people can find difficult.

As well as doing some listening work in the activity book and playing some games about when to use he/she and his/her, our students also made a sheet to help them remember and to start writing some more in English.

Below you can see just a few examples of the great work that they did!

1st Primary: New Book!

Our first of primary students have really started the school year really well and are quickly learning how to use their new book in English class.
It's the first time that they've used an activity book in English class and they have been taking to it like water to a duck's back!

Whilst the class book is projected on the digital board, every pupil has his or her own copy of the activity book where they are learning to read and write in English by doing some really fun activities.

A few weeks ago the pupils got to make their own comic where they were the protagonists and then they preformed their own stories in The English Theatre in class! They did a great job and really gained lots of confidence by acting in English!

Pictures to follow very soon!

Present Simple with Patricia Pumpkin

This week our 4th of primary students have been working on the present simple. They have watched a short video in which a pumpkin gives some information about its sister Patricia daily routines. 

In this way, our students have taken the pumpkin's story as a model to create their own ones.

Daily Routines Comic

As promised here you have a few of the comics we worked on last week!

PREPOSITIONS

One of the most important thing that our 3rd of primary students have learnt these days are prepositions of place. Despite they know some of them from previous years, they have started using them in context. They have been working them through sentences and images. 

Here you have some of them. Have a nice day!

THE BORROWERS

This week 5th of primary students have started working on Reading. Reading is a very important skill and it has a lot of benefits such as: academic excellence, it helps to acquire basic speech skills, it improves communication skills, it enhances concentration, etc.

It's for these reasons that in class students are reading 'The Borrowers'. It's an adaptation of a children's fantasy novel by Mary Norton. It's about a family surnamed 'Clock': Pod, Homily and Arrietty. They survive through Pod's 'borrowing' of items from the human beings who live in the house above the floor. 

If you want to know more about the story keep an eye on this blog!

SCHOOL SUBJECTS

These weeks 5th of primary students have been learning new vocabulary about school subjects. They have created a mind-map with all the subjects they have in school and they have drawn all of them. 

Have a look!

Daily Routines

Our 4th of primary students are working on daily routines and adverbs of frequency (always, sometimes, never). So, they are creating a kind of comic with different cartoons illustrating the actions that they usually do. All the cartoons are accompanied with a little explanation.

As soon as they finish the comics, we'll post some pictures. Pay attention!

Ready for the Comenius Project!!

We started a new course in September and also new Projects to work on.
As you probably know our School is going to take part in a Comenius Project called EUniting Voices with European countries such as: United Kingdom, France, Romania, Turkey, Germany, Poland and Italy, Bulgary....

Our teachers talked about the Project and in our English classes we have to design a Logo for the Comenius and both groups, Nausica and Nautilus, have voted in order to have our own Logo for this blog.

We have to say that it was a difficult task to do but finally the logo that got more points was the one you can see below:

Description of famous people

We just wanted to show you a few pictures that all our 4th primary level students have been creating over the past days.

Using a photo as a reference, the pupils learned how to describe another person.

We hope you will enjoy the pictures.
