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. After that, they practised giving short introductions to their partners.

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!
