Have an Arty Easter EGG Hunt





This Easter we decided to create a very arty collection of Easter Eggs.
The instructions for the coloring were following the influence of:
- Mondrian
- Kandinsky
- Yayoi Kusama
Artists characteristics already known by the students. 













Some kids are really artists and they created amazing artwork freely.







At the class, they were decorating their empty eggs in teams of:
- Collage (recycled papers).
- Watercolour (they love them).
- Soft crayons (Yayoi Kusama dots/ polta dots). 
- Markers and rulers  ( Mondrian squares & rectangles).
- Stickers (Yayoi Kusama). 








Mondrian work is very demanding, a group of 5th graders made an awesome work. 


Watercolour is fun and they can reflect what they know about Art tendencies.










Free style is nice too. Imagination and relaxation at the English class before the spring break.




Easter Bunny is hiding the eggs.

Pen Pals in USA & Tirán have fun with PoP ArT

Our yearly Pen Pal project with our American friends in Winona, Minnesota, took place working on Pop Art, as this year school topic orders.
We’re so happy to create under the rules of Art.





A picture of the first graders was taken and copied 4 times in a paper. They recreated four different images of themselves. After that, the students chose their favorite one and they wrote about it, using the body vocabulary we had just learned.



 On the English wall chart outside the class, we showed to everybody our work. The students in first grade were proud of their effort and good style colouring their own photos. 

















They did a great job colouring and writing in English.

OUR AMERICAN PEN PALS SENT US THEIR PICTURES TOO



They are on the wall for everyone to see them.





There were 26 students in first grade in Winona. 




A bunch of faces arrived at Tirán. 
Our students could bring home at least one artwork to show to their families. 
Openminded families are able to understand such a interchange project for their kids to learn from other cultures. 



First graders in Tirán can read in Spanish what the American friends wanted to share them.
The American friends can do it in English.







These students are in an  immersion in Spanish school, where they can learn a lot of Spanish most of the time during the school day. 




So, Erin, the teacher that we know for being helping here as conversation assistant, wrote us a letter in Spanish.



Thank you Erin, we can’t pay you all receiving these pics from the other side of Atlantic Ocean for our students. 
Great pleasure!. ♥️



Those are our students’ works in USA.

8th March International WOMEN’S Day 2023



In the English class, we were celebrating the Women’s Day CREATING. 
Every Primary student participated in a big collage we prepared with all the colour papers. We continued working on Pop Art.
They drew a very colourful shade of a woman’s face.



All of them were so happy about drawing their own style.





They really loved the work with bright colours.



The oldest group, 6th graders, worked on their favorite fictional character and wrote a short text about feminism.









Also, the lower groups did a writing work about their favorite WOMAN in their families. 
Mum, godmothers, sisters, cousins or good friends were the chosen ones for the task.










Great activities for an important date, 
teaching FOR FUTURE.
