LET’S GO TO THE THEATRE!

Last week all the children from Mitjans and Grans had the opportunity to enjoy with a new theatre version of Robin. Robin was a rich girl that discovered that her parents’ factory was contaminanting the river.

The students had a good time singing the songs and following Robin’s adventures but the best moment was when three students got on stage and participated in the Garret’s Catwalk. How fun!

I CAN SEE AN INSECT!

Yesterday we Jordi and Laura prepared a surprise… In the Petits playground there were a lot of small animals and Rovellons had to find them!  There were a lot of animals but only some were insects. Rovellons had to find the animals, count the legs and decide if it was an insect or not. Do you know that insects have 6 legs?

To remember the vocabulary, once in class, we played a memory game. It was FUN!

TONGUE TWISTERS

One day, while we were talking in the circle, some Tanit said something very fast…

Then another Tanit said “Es como un trabalenguas!”. At that moment Laura told Tanits that in English they have the same: Tongue Twisters. Tanits liked the idea and they decided that they wanted to learn some tongue twisters in English. Here you have the first. Can you say it? Tanits can say it vey fast!

ARE INSECTS GOOD PETS?

In class, we watched a video about a man that had a very small house. The man tried different pets but no pet was small enough. Rovellons discussed the best pet for a small house: a fish? a snake? a spider?

And then the question appeared: can insects be pets?  Rovellons discovered the words WORMS, BUTTERFLIES, STICK INSECTS, BEETLES…

To Rovellons surprise, Laura explained that she has some pet butterflies at home and she has some eggs to give us!   Can we take care of some silkworms?

CLASSIFYING ANIMALS

Playing with the game of the Endangered species we realized that is very important to classify animals correctly. We used a classifying key but Noa realized that it was not correct and we decided to do our own version.

In order to do that, we read texts about the different types of animals to identify the characteristic that makes them unique and we discovered MARSUPIALS and MONOTREMES.

Now that we have our questions ready, the next step is to put the questions in order to make our own classifying key.  

 

DESCRIBING MONSTERS

As Tanits created a monster to include in their invented group story, we continued inventing our own monsters. You can see that we created interesting monsters: some are funny, some are scary and they are all very different!

Trough different games we also learned all the necessary vocabulary to describe them. Just have a look at our creations!

 

BRITISH MONEY

If Alicies want to create a bakery, they will need to know about money. Alicies discovered that in England, where Laura lived, the people don’t use euros: they use pounds!

Alicies looked at the coins and they discovered that not all the coins are round and that they do NOT have numbers on it! They had to read the coins to discover the value and it was a bit tricky.

Now that they know the value they are learning to use different coins to pay the prices on the tags. Wow! How fun and interesting!

 

PETS

Rovellons have been discussing what animals could be pets and they learned a lot of animal names in English. Do you know what animal is a squirrel? Can it be a pet?
They have also listened to the song ” I have a pet” (click Llegeix més»
