CLASSROOM ANIMAL

We´ll start a new project about ANIMALS.
The students have to choose their favourite animal to be at their classroom door for the rest of the academic year.

They are going to choose one favourite and defend their election in groups of four, and if they win, in the class group.

The animal that wins will be at the classroom door.
They should set a picture, name and main characteristics about their animal (description, origin, habitat, food).

At the beginning of the third term, every single class has to talk about their own animal to the rest of the groups classes.

"The Tin Soldier" English play

In this short video, we can watch the story of a tin soldier, the ballerina and the jester.

This fairy tale is related to the English play we are going to enjoy next April in Cangas.

Thursday 7th April 2016

The children enjoyed a lot with the funny actors of the play and their songs (previously worked at class).

They were listening, answering at the actors questions and singing in English. They had a great time in an English context that is excellent for their English learning and understanding.

Cangas auditorium was full of Moaña kids having fun with the play that they'd prepared in the classrooms.

Wonderful end with the three characters together as Good Friends.

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.
