We had been thinking how to make our plays easier to be understood. We have also been practicing the text. Now we are starting to prepare the prompts for our theatre plays.
Fist we have been drawing some of the elements we wanted to appear. Later, we have been retouching the drawings. Finally we have been painting the drawings with colours, feltip pens or paints. Apart from this we have been sticking absorbent cotton with the shape of a snow storm.
We are now preparing the stories. Today we have been rehearsing “Elmer” and “We are going on a bear hunt”. Apart from this we have been planning the attrezzo.
As part of the rehearsal we have been highliting our roles in the story. Then we have been practicing. Every time we are doing better.
Today we have went to Can Papasseit to a theatre play in English. The classic Beauty and the Beast adapted in a version set nowadays in London and Hollywood.
All groups in Primary education from Rovellons to Massagrans enjoyed the show. Some of them loved the songs, some of them the jokes and some others, the whole show.
When it was almost at the end, four students had the opportunity to get on stage. It was an exciting moment.
We started preparing three teatre plays. After one Rovelló said she has memories about doing a theatre play, we decided to work on three theatre plays. We choose: “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”, “We are going on a bear hunt” and “Elmer”.
While one group was working in the text, the other was deciding how to customize the play with attretzo and costumes.
Today we have been playing some table games. Some of them are based in listening to a message and reacting accordingly, some of them about speaking while playing cards and there is also a collaborative game in which they have to say the name of the fruit and colour and some orders when it is required.
Rovellons seemed appealead by the games and the dynamics generated by the situation.
Lately we have been working around the forests and some of this was related to a story about a mouse and a monster in a forest named Gruffalo.
Today we have watched the film about the Gruffalo. Since we knew the story because lately we had been told it more than once, it wasn’t difficult to understand. Indeed, some of us had been able to understand a little bit more about this tale thanks to the film.
Later we drawn some of the elements in the story. We looked for labels with names spreaded all around the class. After drawing the element or character, we outlined with a black pen, painted with water collors, cutted out the outline and stuck them in our forest mural.
Today in the afternoon we have been playing games in Rovellons. In English we played Twister and Who am I?.
They have enjoyed the combination of kinestetic games, language games and building. While playing all these games they practice some structures while having fun.
This week we have talked around a climathologic topic: Hurricanes. We have watched some videos about different Hurricanes, one in Puerto Rico and one in Florida.
We also talked about how they are originated and how do they act. Finally we made an experiment to simulate an hurricane. We could differenciate the center with the borders and their different speed.
Today we have been playing table games in our class of Rovellons. One game was about picking the fruit of four trees before the crow could eat them all. Another it was about racing cars. We had to roll the dice and advance according to the color combination. The last one it was a about eggs and rolling dice. Each time we had to do different things such as running around the table, imitate a cockerel or catching a bouncy egg.
We had lots of fun!
