Jacky, American conversation assistant 2015/16

 Jackie is our new conversation assistant 2016 from Oregon.


          She's enjoying our special Halloween with us.




Jackie's  in the class helping with oral comunication, pronunciation,  making questions to stimulate the natural language on students. 


Jackie is a very important part of the plurilingual school to create spontaneous language in natural situations. Teachers and the assistant speak English all the time during class and free time.





                                                CARNIVAL 2016 in Tirán


Jackie shares Carnival day with us. As the main school topic is Animals, the whole school  was disguised as Jungle Animals. 2016 is Monkey Chinese Year so we got an idea...



SPEAKING TESTS
Jackie was doing the speaking part of the English tests. 
She was alone with the students, apart from the class.
We´re very lucky to have you, Jackie!.



Thank you, Jackie, you've been doing great today! 
We've made a big job!! A lot of speaking tests before the 3rd term grades.



Last Art lesson with Jackie.
We said goodbye to Jackie at the end of May enjoying with watercolours.



We're using watercolour painting and Jackie left us a woderful watercolour elephant picture. 
 

        Thank you, Jackie,
                        
   

         SAYING GOODBYE TO JACKIE


All the kids were sitting down in the main entrance to give a surprise to Jackie.
Mara from 1st grade and Xavi from 5 kinder gave her a present.


Jackie was really surprised to find out the kids got a special book with a picture from all the children of the school. 
She also loved a small owl "curuxa" that is our special present for all the special people who come to the school...

     Bye Jackie, we'll never forget you!!
                   A huge Galician hug.

PEACE DAY "Heal the World"


Here you have the lyrics for "HEAL THE WORLD" by Michael Jackson,


This is the song we are going to work on for 2016 Peace Day.
Different levels, different ways of learning the song; translating into groups, singing, learning the lyrics, creating posters to decorate the school hall ...


Live in Munich




After learning the song... Let's do the Art work. Paint, hands and writing the song title.



Two first graders sharing paint and project with Jacky's help.



All together on the floor...





Finishing the other side of the poster...



Waiting for being hung...



Finally, the awesome result of the Art work.




The whole school is learning & enjoying the song. From kindergarden with the teacher Belén to Primary with teacher Rosa.



Let's heal the world...! 
Earth needs it!


This is kindergarden 5 in the Primary English classroom.


VIDEO LINKS of all of the school groups:

ORIGAMI ANIMALS

This new year, main school topic is ANIMALS,  so we´re going to work on animals doing Origami.
This will be a new way of having fun learning that we never did.



We are going to watch the video and move our hands at the same time, folding paper back and forwards again...
It´s a kind of mess...but also funny.

EVERY GROUP IS GOING TO DO A DIFFERENT ANIMAL, acording to their level.






ORIGAMI ENGLISH VIDEOS from YOUTUBE:

2nd Graders are going to create a FISH.
Very easy, but also complicated for a group of 18 kids all together at the same time. 


And a PIG.







A scary OWL for 4th Graders.






We have also a  FROG to do.






A BUTTERFLY for 5th  graders.







For the oldest students, 6th graders, a very difficult TURTLE.





And a BIRD for fastfinishers.







A cute EASTER BUNNY for next Easter.






Extra activities for fastfinishers.
















WORKING INTO THE PROJECTS


Fourth graders following the origami video by Art for Kids in English.
They're doing bunnies of different colours.










MORE TO NJOY...
