EASTER IS ALREADY HERE!

I find slideshows and power points very useful to teach vocabulary. That´s why I tried to gather some Easter stuff together in this slideshow so that children can have a general view of this typical festival in the UK.
Tip:
If you don´t have the time to make flashcards, try slideshows or power points! Children really love them and it´s a good way for us to do something different.

HUMPTY DUMPTY, THE FAMOUS EGG!

This is my favourite nursery rhyme as the children made me love it! They used to act out the song over and over and always burst out laughing when they fell off their particular wall, (my desk).

We spread out a mat on the floor and when someone fell off the desk, we tickled them! Try it! They really enjoyed playing this game.

I think they won´t ever forget the expression " one more time"...! They didn´t seem to be tired of this song. Neither did I!

I dedicate this nursery rhyme to them! I miss you, little guys! ;-)

TOMORROW IS MONDAY

Just a little joke to cheer you up! Mondays are usually hard... At least for me!

Have a nice week! :-)

FUN WITH TEDDIES VIDEO!

We all know that little children absolutely love teddy bears so we can take advantange of this fact to teach them everything we want our pupils to learn using them in our classroom.
On the other hand, teddy bears are cozy, cuddly and adorable!

Count the teddies (up to 10), discover some opposites, and see what the teddies are getting up to! Teddy bear fun for preschoolers. The music is The Blue Danube by Johann Strauss.

I´m sure you will enjoy this video!

GET TO WORK!

Ya no queda nada para Easter así que como hacemos casi todos al aburrirnos de nuestras fichas de siempre (los conejitos a estas alturas, ya tendrían que estar en el horno con una manzana dentro), me dispuse a "googlear". Qué buena pinta tiene esta página... id a verla antes de seguir leyendo... Os espero...

Bueno, qué...? Sí, todo nuestro gozo en un pozo, hay que aportar material elaborado por nosotros mismos para poder bajarnos alguna fichita... Como curiosidad, está bien, pero va a ser que o me pongo manos a la obra, y en lugar de ahorrarme trabajo me lo duplico o sigo googleando como el resto de los mortales :-)

WHO WAS ST. PATRICK?

Saint Patrick was born in Wales about AD 385. His real name was Maewyn.
When he was 16, he became a slave when a group of Irish criminals destroyed his village.
He escaped from slavery after six years and went to a monastery. He thanked God and decided that he wanted to convert the Irish pagans to Christianity.

Saint Patrick won many converts in Ireland. This upset the Celtic druids.
St. Patrick was arrested several times, but escaped each time. He travelled around Ireland, and established monasteries, schools and churches across the country.

Ireland was converted to Christianity. His mission in Ireland lasted for thirty years.
After that time, Patrick retired to County Down. He died on March 17 in AD 461.
That day was commemorated as Saint Patrick’s Day.

One traditional symbol of the day is the shamrock. Saint Patrick used the shamrock to explain the Trinity. His followers adopted the custom of wearing a shamrock leaf on his feast day.
Today, Saint Patrick is Ireland’s patron. People celebrate the day with parades, wearing green and having a good time.

Saint Patrick’s Day is also celebrated in other parts of the world where Irish immigrants live, for example in the United States, especially New York.

THE WORLD GETS SMALLER

In this second term, the 4th year children in Primary School, carried out an exchange of information (in English and Spanish) with St. Charles School (London).

The English children from that school are studying Spanish, so we took advantage of this fact to send them a little bilingual book with pictures of different parts our school (library, staff room, English classroom...).

In this book, we explain what our school looks like so that they can get a better feel of the environment. They did the same with their school and we already have their book on display in our English classroom.

Our pupils enjoyed getting to know the English school and comparing the similarites and differences with our own school. Using e-mail, the teachers in both countries used power point to present a summary of the contents of the books that the children had made.

We hope you like them and you get as much enjoyment as we did when we made them!
