We have been reading comics about different versions of Saint George and the Dragon. Today we have been writing our own version of Saint Geroge and the Dragon.
The idea was to role the story cubes and take the elements as part of our story. Apart from this we had to include the Dragon, Saint George and the Princess taking into account that we could change their gender.
Finally we read the story to our classmates.
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 have seen the sizes and price of a wood board. We deduced that after seeing a drawing with sizes and a price. The sizes were in two different formats, with cm and m or with cm and mm. This fact created a conversation around sizes and formats. Someone pointed out that a week could be measured with days or weeks. Therefore seven days equals one week. In the end we concluded the measurements meant the same but they were splitted in different units.
Later we represented on the floor the wood board. One Tintin thought we could use only one board in order to make the base for all our models. Since we need eight, they started dividing the area in two long parts. Later on, they splitted the two rectangles into four with a perpendicular line. Dividing again the rectangles we got a total of eight squares with 61 cm per side.
In Tintins, in the context of making a model, we have been working with volumes. They draw a grid of squares mesuring 2 centimeters per side.
Later, they had to create a sculpture taking into account full, empty, shadow and light.
Once they have finished, they had to take photos using a light in order to play with light and shadows with the full and empty spaces they had worked with.
Finally they wrote a reflection about their process, if they have enjoyed the process, if they had any difficulties, etc.
Today we have been looking, using an atlas and a map, where some of Tintin adventures are set in. Later, using a Chromebook, we looked up for information about each country such as official languages, capital city or the flag.
We have worked competencies such as teamworking and searching for information.
Today we have been working on the Tintin project. We made hypothesis trying to find were is each book set in. The first process was based on deduction by reading the title and looking at the illustrations of each cover. After, with the help of chromebooks and catalan and spanish versions of the book, we looked up for new information that might complete the one we already found.
Afterwards, we put in common our findings and hypiothesis in order to find a conclusion.
