Halloween is fun too!

Halloween is near and we are starting to celebrate it... We are decorating the school, doing activities related to it, reading stories, creating pumpkins and Jack-o'-lanterns! We have been playing some games on-line too and this is the link to surf on today's website: Halloween games 

On Friday we are disguising ourselves and playing "Trick or Treat" in the neighbourhood!! :D We'll upload some pictures next week...

Meanwhile, have fun! ;D

A Danish visit! :)

At the beginning of October, we had a very interesting and nice visit at school. A Danish friend of mine called Kasper came to meet the kids and participate in two of our classes. He told us some things about his country: Denmark. Then, we made a quizz and, afterwards, we had a bilingual lesson of Physical Education playing games using the English language :)

I hope you learned (and still remember) something from that day. I know you did enjoy yourselves quite a lot! ;)

Here you are some pictures of that day (October, 7th):

Thanks to the other teachers for collaborating, to the kids for their good behaviour and to Kasper for coming to school and participating! As he would say in Danish, "tak" :)

New year, new school, new kids...

Hi everyone in 6ºB and 6ºA! :D

As you know, I'm working in a different school this year. The name is Nuestra Señora de las Veredas and it's located in a small village called Guadalema de los Quintero, depending on Utrera (Sevilla).

This school is very small: there are only 45 children altogether! I'm teaching English to all of them, but I'm also "tutora" of the 3rd year class and I teach them Spanish reading, Spanish language, Maths and Arts and crafts. They are 7-8 years old and all of them are very good.

Here you are some pictures of my new school:

I'm good here but I miss you and hope to see you again soon! :)

Our song...

Flower of Scotland

Easter!! =)

And before Easter holidays, the last day at school (Friday, April the 15th) the kids had a great surprise: they had to search for an Easter egg each, hehe! At the beginning, they didn't know what was going on... I sent them all out of the classroom so that I could hide the eggs... When they came in, searched for an egg, sat down when found it and eventually ate it when everyone had theirs...uhmm!! :D

 5ºB looking for the eggs...

                                                                            5ºA after finding the eggs :)

After eating the eggs, we watched a video where Mickey Mouse called the rest of his friends to do something similar... Mickey's Easter party
Hope you had a great Easter week! :)

Day of the Book

Hi there!

Last 14th of April we celebrated the Day of the Book, which is on the 23rd of April, but it was Easter holidays.

We were invited to go to Santa María Square to read some passages of Cervantes' Quijote. This reading was organised by the IES Fuente de la Peña, who danced some medieval dances before the reading. They also invited classes from other schools :)

You can see some photos below.

As you can see, after the reading, on our way back to school, we made a stop in this park (next to the bullring) for five minutes :)

We had a great morning, the kids got some knowledge of the Quijote novel. I hope they liked it and felt motivated by what they learnt to read this novel adapted to their age.

Now you should read for a while ;)

Last Thursday, as every 17th of Marh, St. Patrick's Day was celebrated. We learnt the story of St. Patrick's, we studied some vocabulary related to the day (shamrock, Dublin, Blarney Stone, leprechaun, rainbow...).

Now I would like you to watch this funny video about St. Patrick's life:

Carnival Time! :D

Hi!

Last Friday  4th of March, Carnival was celebrated at school! :)

It was a fun day as everyone could went to the party in costume, haha! There were fancy dresses as a robot, police officers, a nurse, clowns, a sheriff, a cowboy, an Egyptian woman, a waitress, Indian girls, a devil, a pirate, a chicken, a bee, a hippie... All the costumes were good! I was dressed up as a witch, haha! But I didn't have a broom for bad boys and girls, so I was a good witch ;)

We went to the playground for an hour to see the kids from Infantil singing and dancing! And there was a parade, haha!

You can see some photos below :p
