Show and tell in 5th grade

In March and April our 5th graders have presented one of their favourite objects to their class and talked about it. This activity is called Show and tell.

All the students have brought an object from home and they have explained in English why they chose that particular item, where they got it, and other important information. Then the other students asked questions about it.

Building sentences in 1st grade

The 1st graders of our school have been learning about pets, their adjectives and how to make sentences about them.

In groups, we ordered the words in the correct way to make affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences.

We have also talked about our pets and the ones we would like to have at home and where they live: inside or outside.

Our vegetable garden

The first graders of the school want to present you all the work we have done in our vegetable garden.

We started in April, in Science workshop, by preparing the land and planting the seeds of four vegetables: radish, carrot, lettuce and spinach. We watered them and waited for the results.

We recorded all the growing process in a lapbook and we also visited a vegetable garden in Golmés.

10th English Day

Last Friday, the 5th and 6th graders from our school attended the 10th English day in Mollerussa.

We had a great day where we did different activities in groups and we had fun using English as a means communication. We also made new friends from other schools in Pla d’Urgell.

Two of our students were in charge of reading the closure speech and then we all danced the song Flowers by Miley Cyrus.

After having lunch, we enjoyed our free time playing in the park.

The 4th graders meet penfriends from Greece

The students from 4th grade have started a new Etwinning project called “Let’s be penfriends” with other 4th graders from Thessaloniki (in Greece).

The first activity has been introducing ourselves to the Greek students by writing our descriptions on a website and include a photo of ourselves with numbers in order they can guess “who is who”. The students from Greece have done the same activity and you can see us in the following photos trying to know the name of each student in the photos.

If you click on the Greek flag, you can see us in this funny task!

Show and tell in 5th grade

From the month of October to the month of December, each of the students from 5th grade has presented which is his/her favourite object to the classmates.

The first minutes of each lesson were devoted to give three clues to the others who had to guess what was the object. Once they knew it, they showed it and explained why it was so important for them. Then they asked questions about it.

It has been a funny and motivating activity for the students and at the same time they were learning English.

We go to the theatre

The 24th November, the 3rd and 4th graders from our school went to Teatre l’Amistat, in Mollerussa, to see a play. It was called Excalibur. The story begins in Camelot where three monks create a magic sword that can only belong to the king of England…

As we worked some previous activities before seeing it, we sang all the songs and enjoyed the play a lot. One of our students went on stage to participate in the play.

Our mascot in 1st cycle of Primary

The students of 1st and 2nd grade have got a new friend this school year. Its name is Sam and do you know what animal is it? It’s a squirrel.

Sam usually hides around the classroom and the students have to look for it. Then we greet him, speak in English, play games and it also helps us in the class activities. This week we have watched a story about him.

The first days of class we have observed him and draw a picture. It’s very difficult to draw a squirrel but we did it very well! Click on the photo of our class mascot to see our pictures.

 

 

E-twinning project: Sharing makes us wiser

During all this school year the students from 4th grade have been carrying out an E-twinning project with a portuguese school in Aveiras de Cima.

We started in November with a first contact where students wrote a letter about themselves explaining how they are, likes and dislikes… Then they sent us Christmas and Easter cards. We also exchanged the information about our Catalan traditions and costums. In the last term, we talked about our villages and schools. Finally, we shared our summer plans.

We have improved our skills and intercultural dimensions by using English as a means of communication with our penpals from Portugal.

Stefanie’s farewell

The 31st of May was the last day of Stefanie, the language assistant in our school for 4th, 5th and 6th graders.

She has been with us since she arrived in October from the USA. She has helped us in the English classes, she has explained a lot about US culture and we have learned with her a lot of American vocabulary.

We wanted to say thanks to her by giving her some presents like a special notebook with her story in our school and her pictures.

Thank you Stefanie and good luck!!!!!
