"The Legend of the Sleepy Hollow""

25th April the sixth graders, Jackie and the teacher went to watch an English play to the IES As Barxas.

There, they could listen and learn English, while they had a lot of fun.

Raúl, a shy student from our school, was a real star. He was participating in the play as "the girl's boyfriend who got married to her".

We had a great time..

Sara, another student from Tirán, was the other one who went up to the stage to dance with the actors.

They really got into contact to real English in order to learn, enjoy and realise that English can be funny at the same time as necesary.

Henri Rousseau

Henri Rousseau was born on May 21, 1844, in Laval, France. While working as a toll collector in Paris, he taught himself to paint and exhibited his work almost annually from 1886 until the end of his life. He was given the nickname "Le Douanier" ("the customs officer") by his acquaintances in the Parisian avant-garde. Despite his connections with other artists and dealers, he never profited from his paintings; however, works like "The Dream," "The Sleeping Gypsy" and "Carnival Evening" influenced many artists who came after him. He died in Paris on September 2, 1910.

                     We´re going to work on Henri Rousseau's biography and paintings.

 We´re going to enjoy a charming video 

about 

his life & paintings in order to learn more.

                   And a "surprising" visit to a museum...

Another nice video based on Rousseau's paintings and his style for kids.
