OUR TRIP DIARY

2011-04-10T20:44:00.007+02:00

Writing the diary is not easy for a primary 3 and 4 children, so they had a template where they had just to change some information about the different countries and cities. They had to look for the information in the wikipedia. Every time we got a new destination they had to write a postcard to their families or friends.

Groundhog Day is celebrated every year on February 2nd. The official groundhog lives in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. His name is Punxsutawney Phil. If Phil sees his shadow (the day is bright and sunny), there will be six more weeks of winter weather. If he does not see his shadow (the day is cloudy), there will be an early spring.

Groundhog's Day is an American holiday, but it has European roots in Candlemas Day.

Learn this saying from USA:
If the sun shines on Groundhog Day;

Half the fuel and half the hay.

The Emperor´s New Clothes

2009-12-07T21:43:00.006+01:00

"The Emperor´s New Clothes" was first published with "The Little Mermaid" on 7 April 1837 in Copenhagen, Denmark, as the third and final installment of the first collection of Andersen's Fairy Tales for Children.

PLOT: It tells of two swindlers who come to town to persuade the Emperor that they can make clothes which can only be seen by wise people. The Emperor pays more attention to his clothes than to his people, so...

Hans Christian Andersen

2009-12-02T17:36:00.005+01:00

Hans Christian Andersen (1805 - 1875) is a Danish author whose enchanting fairy tales are among the most widely read stories in the world. "The Emperor's New Clothes," "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Princess and the Pea" are three of his most famous tales.

To know more about him you can visit this site where you can find his biography, games and storytelling. Click on the image!

The Princess and the Pea

2009-11-30T16:58:00.008+01:00

Hans Christian Andersen had heard the story when he was a child, but not from Danish but Swedish tradition. For Andersen, true nobility derived not from an individual's birth but from their sensitivity and could be a metaphor for the princess depth of feeling and compassion.

2009-03-16T19:54:00.007+01:00

This september I have started to teach in one of our schools located in a small village called SORZANO. We have just seven pupils there and I go three days a week to teach them English. Their names are Cristina, Marian, Ivo, José, Youssra, Borja and Rahal. They come from different countries: Bulgaria, Romania, Portugal, Morocco, Spain. It´s really an interesting group and I enjoy a lot with them.
I have been thinking about the blog and I have decided to post vocabulary games, on-line activities, stories, songs, movies .... related to topics and grammar they learn from their text books.
I will write in English or Spanish.

The second term is over. Yesterday we started with the patchwork heart we are sewing for Mother´s Day. Pay attention to them! They are very concentrated on their works, above all, threading the needles!

Now, let´s act it out!

The lion and the mouse is an Aesop Fable . Fables teach a lesson or moral. This story teaches how we can help each other no matter how we are.

We have to work hard learning the dialogues and decorating the stage. By the end of the school year we will perform the play in our class and we will record a short video to show you all.

Patchwork fun!

Do you know what a quilt is? and... What does patchwork mean?

Well, to answer these questions I invited Julia Baigorri to our class. Julia is a teacher of english, a poet and she loves patchwork. She is really a wonderful woman!

She told the children the origins of patchwork. Its way from the Near East to Europe and then to America. The lifestyle of the pioneers who settled in the west and their lives in the new frontier. They reviwed and learn words from many topics. They spent a happy time with her. The idea now is to sew a patchwork heart to present on Mother´s Day. The heart design has been made by Mª Jesús a patchwork artist and teacher from Logroño.
Many thanks to you both!!

Yesterday we spent a wonderful afternoon with Carmen.
Carmen is a potter from Logroño. She is very kind and she came to teach us some pottery techniques. Everybody was delighted and we learnt a lot.
She had another surprise for us. She has just arrived from a trip to India, so she showed us some coins and some pottery.
Thank you very much Carmen. You are really a good teacher!

So we will make an aboriginal style hand print.
We will practice the Aboriginal Dot Art.
And we will make an activity based on Australian Aboriginal X-ray style of painting.

We will use reds, browns, oranges, yellows and occasionally Green.
