Book Day 23rd April 2015

In this  Book Day, in the Art class we wanted to enjoy the magic of  Classic Books of all ages and draw the most important scene for each kid.

      From 5 years kindergarden to 6th grade, they drew their favourite classic book.

                  Nice pictures!!!

    The exhibition of the original drawings.

   During the 23rd of April 2015,  Book Day, the 4th, 5th and 6th graders are going to read English books to the younger kids.

 The children were practising reading their own books during the week. Some pupils who have sisters or brothers in the school wanted to read them and have them in their reading groups.

      As the day is sunny, we are going to read outside in the playground and garden. We are going to have a wonderful Book Day.

     Amazing books for young learners!!!

COLOURED SALT BOTTLES

              This attractive project made kids became very interested and responsible, because they had to remember what they have to bring from home for doing it.

      STUDENTS NEED:

        - A RECLYCLING GLASS CONTAINER

        - SALT

       

        IN THE CLASS, TEACHER HAS:

       -COLOUR PAINT

        -PLASTIC BAGS

 

    We put all the salt in different plastic bags for the different colours. 

     We added a little of paint in every bag.

     The kids smashed the mixture with their hands carefully till the complete mixing up.

                             THE RESULTS WERE AMAZING..      LOVELY COLOURS!!!!

            IT LOOKED LIKE ORIENTAL SPICIES.    

         

         The kids enjoyed a lot, they could mix up the colours the way they prefered.

         They were very proud of the results and they got a great present for their families.

                                                         NICE & FUNNY END

English Breakfast in Kindergarden

The kindergarden children were learning about London  and everything related to the country in their class, so the Kindergarden teacher and the English teacher have decided to prepare a authentic English Breakfast for the 21 kindergarden children in the school dining-room.

Kids had to learn the names of food by means of Youtube videos, songs and games related.

      VOCABULARY:

                       TOASTS, SAUSAGES, BOILED EGGS, CHEESE...

      BUTTER, JAM, HONEY...

                                                        ENGLISH TEA WITH MILK

          They had fruit, cereal with milk, orange juice...

       Marian, our American language assistant, was also helping us serving and speaking English.

       The kids had a great time, they ate a lot and they were shouting SAUSAGE, SAUSAGEEEEE....!!!

      And after so light breakfast...

                              they were delighted to SHARE AND TASTE Queen Elizabeth BISCUITS...

                  WE THOUGHT IT WAS AN  AMAZING EXPERIENCE for some kids who never had tasted some of the variety of food we offered them...

Salt Mandalas

In order to celebrate "Peace Day" and knowing by heart that students love doing "Mandalas"...

We've decided to create those original and colourful "Salt Mandalas".

They are inspired in Motoi Yamamoto who has wonderful creations with salt.

Admire them!!!! 

They're really amazing and very original, they're always related to SEA and because of a family reason, this artist use "salt" as a cleaning way of cleaning sad feelings.

                                              This is a very interesting video about his technique.

                                       

In this one, Yamamoto explains by himself why he works with salt after his sister death. He uses salt because in Japan it's a funeral material.

                                                         http://vimeo.com/52553020   

  

              Now you can enjoy what students create at Art classroom.

       They draw the mandala design with glue by means of a thin paintbrush.

              

      We'd talked about mandalas typical  patterns 

        - repetitive models

        - circles

        - repetition of patterns

                             They put the salt on the glue picture and...took it off.

             The coloured salt mandalas are experiments before the last works children will do.

               We were testing how to colour the salt, with a lot of paint like this first one...but

          we didn't like the result, we wanted a lighter end.

                                     

           Then we tried just colouring the water with a lot of paint and putting a small drop on the piece of salt we wanted to tint.

             

                                  Perfect result for our kids to try by themselves.

                       The kids enjoyed a lot touching the salt and manipulating it on the pictures.

             Next Art session, colouring the salt with coloured water, and that's it!

                  Salt Mandala Tree for Peace Day

                          Hanging at the main school hall.

       

        Finally, the main exhibition of the children salt creations.

          Beautiful and Peaceful work. They've learnt about salt manipulation for Art.
