TABALUGUES DO THEATRE IN ENGLISH

For some weeks now all the Tabalgues have prepared two tales to tell to the Patufets and the Pinotxos.

The first story is the well-known book Brown bear. It’s a tale about animals and colours. It follows a repetitive structure which is perfect for the kids to remember.

The second one is The Boo Hoo bird. This tale is about friendship and forgiveness. It’s a great story to work on values with children.

Last Wednesday all the Patufets, Pinotxos and Tabalugues gathered at the Music classroom and enjoyed the Tabalugues tales’performance.

After the theatre we had some fun dancing together!!!

An activity on co-education

Since we were born we are sorrounded with several toys of different shapes and colours.
But which toys are for boys or for girls?

We started the activity talking about two colours: blue and pink.
The teacher asked them which colour they prefer. Boys mostly said blue and girls answered pink.
So after talking about these two colours we put pink and blue in the middle.

Then Pinocchios were given 6 different toys: a rocket, a ball, a train, a robot, a bike, a teddy bear and a yo-yo.So they were asked to classify them according their opinion on wheter it was a toy for girls or a toy for boys.

At the beggining all the toys were ment to be for boys!

So I asked them:

Have you got a bike, or a yo-yo, or a teddy bear, or a ball?
They all said YES.

Then the second round was more balanced. These were the results:
Girls’toys: the bike, the yo-yo, the teddy bear and the ball.
Boys’toys: the train, the rocket and the robot.

It’s been an interesting activity and it has given us a lot to think about it!

SPRINGTIME

Since Spring 🌻🌺🌸🌼 arrived we have been talking about the animals that appear in Springtime, such as; ladybirds, butterflies, caterpillars, bees… and we have read some beautiful stories:

The very hungry caterpillar and Where is the butterfly?

At the moment the Pinocchios are learning a short poem about SPRING. Next week we will record and upload it. Don’t miss it!

After several days talking about Spring and practicing the Springpoem here below you have the results!

Hope you like it!

The moon and the 7 days of the week

Since last week the Tabalugues class have been learning the days of the week song and a question has come out:

Why has the week 7 days?

After doing some research we have discovered that the ancient astronomers thought that on Early days some planets had power on the Earth.

So,

MONDAY was the day of the Moon🌚 –           Dilluns

TUESDAY was the day of Mars –                     Dimarts

WEDNESDAY was the day of Mercury –          Dimecres

THURSDAY was the day of Jupiter –                Dijous

FRIDAY was the day of Venus –                       Divendres

SATURDAY was the day of Saturn –                Dissabte

SUNDAY was the day of the Sun 🌞 –             Diumenge

Soooo interesting!!!

We listen to a story!

This morning Alicies have had the chance of listening to a story in English! Tintins came to our class to explain the story and it was very funny for us because we could participate and it was useful to us to learn commands such as: “stand up!” or “touch the dot five times”. The thing we liked the most was that every time we did an action, the image we were seeing changed and it was like magic!
