On Tuesday, an English teacher, Catherine, came to our school to stay with us for over two weeks. Catherine gave us a short presentation to introduce herself. She wanted to get to know all the class, so class 2A prepared short presentations to introduce themselves. First,the pupils wrote the presentations on a paper.

St. Patrick´s Day!

Saint Patrick´s Day at school

St. Patrick´s Day is on March 17^th .  This year  17 th of March was on Saturday so we decided to celebrate Saint Patrick´s day one day before, Friday 16^th of March.

In order to celebrate Saint Patrick´s day at school, we decided to make a list of ideas of what we could do that day related to Irish culture and Irish traditions.

Some of our ideas were…..

*We can make leprechaun´s hats.

*We can prepare green jelly.

*We can eat green food on that day.

*We can put on green clothes that day.

*We can play Irish music at school.

*We can cut out shamrocks to decorate the school.

Etc.

With all these ideas we got ready to celebrate St. Patrick´s day in our school.

-We cut out and prepared leprechaun hats to put on for St. Patrick´s day.

-We wrote down wishes on lucky shamrocks.

"I wish I could be Ronaldo"

                                           "I wish I could fly"

                                                                                    "I wish I were a princess"

-We played "the naughty leprechaun game".

That was fun!  Few students went out of the classroom pretending to be the good leprechauns. The rest of the class played to be naughty leprechauns. They messed up the classroom a little bit. The good leprechauns had to find out what looked wacky in the classroom.

-We prepared green jelly in the school kitchen.

-We ate  green jelly using our five senses: sight, smelling, hearing, touching and taste.

mmmmm ……….it was yummy!

-We wrote down the recipe to prepare green jelly at home.

-We listened to irish music in the playground.

-We also danced to the rhythm of irish music.

               We had a great time!

       Happy Saint Patrick´s Day!
                 
   Now children, tell me, What activities have you enjoyed the most?

Visita al Centro de Artesania de Aragon

El lunes 27 de febrero los alumnos de seis años visitamos el centro de artesanía de Aragón, en el barrio de las Fuentes de Zaragoza.
Allí Noemi y Hector, los dos monitores del taller, nos ayudaron a hacer un cuenco con arcilla de colores con nuestras manos.
¡Fué un taller muy entretenido y divertido!

Aprendimos que la arcilla puede tener colores diferentes según la clase de minerales que haya en la arcilla. Nosotros trabajamos con arcilla de tres colores diferentes:
Arcilla roja, arcilla blanca y arcilla negra.

Noemi nos fué explicando los pasos que teníamos que seguir para crear un cuenco con las arcillas de colores. Todos atendimos a sus explicaciones con gran atención mientras ibamos siguiendo sus pasos.

Primero, cada uno hicimos 30 bolitas con arcilla de color blanca y las colocamos separadas unas de otras en un molde.

Segundo, moldeamos otras tantas bolitas con arcilla de color negra y las colocamos tambien en el molde.

Tercero, hicimos una carita con la arcilla de tres colores y la colocamos boca a bajo en el molde.

                                                 "It is a witch", dice Julia.

                                              
                                                  " It is a vampire", dice Javier.

                                                   " It is a boy", dice Miguel.

                                                     "It is a girl", dice Maria Delpon.

Cuarto, cubrimos las bolitas y la cara en el molde con diferentes capas de arcilla.

Después, nos tomamos el almuerzo y jugamos un poco en el patio.
Andrea, Leire y Daniela posan en uno de los murales del patio.
Los abuelos de Irene vinieron a verla y les tomamos una foto. ¡Qué simpáticos!

 

 

Finalmente, regresamos al taller. Noemí, Hector y Marisol nos ayudaron a sacar el cuenco del molde y entonces vimos nuestras obras de arte. ¡Qué chulo!

Carnaval en el colegio

El pasado viernes 17 de febrero celebramos el carnaval en el colegio.

Este año cada curso decidió disfrazarse de una época histórica y los niños de la clase de seis años lo hicimos de la época de las invasiones germanas: LOS VIKINGOS.

Nos los pasamos muy bien estudiando sobre los vikingos y aprendimos muchas cosas interesantes sobre este particular grupo. Los vikingos no sólo fueron saqueadores y piratas,  eran un grupo de personas muy hábiles en el trabajo de metales, madera y cuero.  Durante la semana, averiguamos cuales fueron algunas de las herramientas que usaban en sus batallas y preparamos algunas para nuestro disfraz. También aprendimos que los vikingos tenían muy buenos conocimientos navales. Algunos vikingos llegaron a ser grandes exploradores como Leif Erikson que fué el primero en llegar al nuevo mundo sobre el año 1000 antes de que lo hiciera Cristobal Colón en 1492.

Los padres de los alumnos nos ayudaron a hacer los disfraces de los niños en casa y quedaron estupendos, especialmente los customizados cascos y escudos. Finalmente, llegó el día de carnaval y disfrutamos de los lindo con nuestros disfraces.


Aquí teneis a Leire y Julia con el traje  vikingo y algunas de las herramientas fabricadas en clase.

       Luna y Miguel sonrien con sus escudos y  cascos  vikingos.

Una vez nos pusimos todos los trajes, nos metimos tanto en el papel de vikingos que cada grupo imaginó estar subido en un barco vikingo y hacer el grito de guerra de los Vikingos.

           Pablo, Irene, Ana e Ines D. imaginan estar navegando en su barco.

                             Aquí tenemos a Carlota, Candela, Maria D y Luna .

    Lucia, Ines P. Daniela, y Joaquín imaginan ser unos vikingos muy terribles.

            Julia, Leire, Marco y Javier se lo pasan en grande en su barco.

                           Luis Miguel, Paula, Vicky y Maria P

                             Marcos, Andrea, Miguel y Claudia creen ver algo a lo lejos.

Hasta las maestras Marisol y Montse se subieron a los barcos piratas improvisados solo para ese rato.

Después, bajamos al patio para hacer el desfile junto con las demás clases y ver a los padres que nos estaban esperando. Mientras esperabamos nuestro turno para el desfile, nos hicimos fotos con toda la clase.

En el desfile pudimos ver a los niños de 4 años que iban disfrazados de Egipcios.

¡Qué elegantes!

Muchos de los maestros del colegio también se disfrazaron con sus alumnos.

Aquí tenemos a los niños de 5 años vestidos de trogloditas. ¡Estaban guapísimos!.

              Después del desfile, nos pusimos a jugar en el patio y a imaginarnos que eramos verdaderos Bárbaros.

 Casi al final, en la clase , nos tomamos una merienda riquísima a la que nos invito el AMPA del colegio.....zumo de naranja y bollo con chocolate. ¡Estaba riquísimo!
                       Fué una tarde estupenda y todos nos lo pasamos en grande

                                       ¡Hasta el próximo carnaval!
