La Castanyada

These last few weeks our 5th of primary students have been working on 'La Castanyada'. Concretely, they looked for some information on the internet such as: food, clothes and the history of this popular Catalan celebration. They drew some pictures of 'La Castanyada' and then they wrote a brief text including all the information found.

This week some of these pieces of work will be sent to our Scottish friends in Hamilton for them to learn more information about our traditions.

Here you have some of them.

AUTUMN FRUITS

Last week our 3rd of primary students did some murals with autumn fruits drawings.

First, they learnt the names of several fruits that they normally eat in autumn, such as mushrooms, chestnuts, pumpkins, grapes, etc.

Second, they chose one of these fruits and individually they drew and coloured them.

Third, they glued their drawings on a big poster board with the names of each of the fruits.

Finally, some of the students were recorded giving a brief description of each fruit.

Here you have the video:

AUTUMN AND WINTER WORD SEARCH

Last week our 3rd of primary students prepared a fun activity for their eTwinning friends.

The activity consisted of creating a word search containing words and pictures related to autumn and winter.

Here you have some of them!

TARZAN

Two weeks ago our 3rd and 4th of primary students watched a theatre play, Tarzan.

Tarzan lives in the jungle in Africa. He has a lot of friends. His best friend is a monkey called Cheetah. Tarzan likes living in the jungle. He is very happy. Jane is a photographer. She lives in London but today she is in the jungle. She wants to take photographs of monkeys. Jane is travelling with a guide called Clayton. He is not a nice person. He is a hunter. He is also an expert on surviving in the jungle. Jane doesn’t know that Clayton’s favourite food is monkey!

One day Tarzan and Jane meet in the jungle. Tarzan likes Jane and Jane likes Tarzan. But Jane doesn’t like Tarzan’s smell! Tarzan never washes his body, cleans his teeth or combs his hair! So, Tarzan needs help from his animal friends. He needs to learn about personal hygiene. The elephant teaches him to wash his body. The crocodile teaches him to clean his teeth. The lion teaches him to comb his hair. Meanwhile, someone needs to teach Clayton that killing animals for fun is not nice! 

After watching the play they created a comic explaining the story with some pictures and English sentences. Here you have some of them.

THE GOONIES

This week our 6th of primary students watched 'The Goonies'. It is a 1985 American adventure-comedy film directed by Richard Donner.

The Goonies are a crazy bunch of misfit kids whose only hope of saving their neighbourhood from greedy developers who want to use the area to build a new golf course, is to find the lost treasure of a 17th Century pirate.

After watching the film, next week, they are going to answer some questions about it.

borrowers

Last week 5^thof primary students started reading “The borrowers”. The book is about a family who survives borrowing different items from the human house they live above the floor.

1st of primary: Shapes

This week the 1^st of Primary students have been learning the name of different shapes (Square, rectangle, triangle and circle) and decide by using their imagination, create a girl or a boy with the shapes.

They had to decide the colour of the shapes and then cut them out and make their own person gluing the shapes and inventing a name.

Here you can see some of their really original creations. We hope you will enjoy it.

2nd of primary: Measuring

This week our 2nd of Primary students have been measuring their body and learning the numbers from 1 to 40.
By measuring the different parts of their body (hand, head, leg, foot and arm) with a measuring meter, they learned and improved the numbers and the new vocabulary.
Here you have some photos of the work done.

PERSONAL PROFILE

This week our 3rd of primary students wrote a personal profile for the eTwinning project.

They chose the information they wanted to write about, all together they wrote a draft on the whiteboard, and finally, they did it individually. Moreover, they drew a picture of themselves.

Here you have some of their profiles!
