ENGLISH WITH ELVIRA

HALLOWEEN TIME

This year the Halloween party has been made through a yoga class for students of 5th and 6th grade. We had a great time imagining that we were a witch traveling to the cemetery. There, they found ingredients for their potion such as frogs, snakes and spiders. We were realizing the poses of these animals and finally we got the final potion. The witch was transformed with it into a very lovely character who gave kisses and hugs to everyone. Finally, the relaxation part was transformed into a mindfulness session painting the face of the character that each one chose.

For the 1st graders, we prepare two songs and we danced in the playground have been prepared. One was to prepare a potion of a witch with various animals such as frogs, snakes and bats. It's been a fun party and we've all had a great time. Happy Halloween!

HANDMADE TOTE BAGS VIDEO TUTORIAL

HANDMADE TOTE BAGS IN 5º CLASSES

During this month, the pupils in the 5º classes have made a new project called "Handmade tote bags". Taking into acount that they learnt the past simple of the regular verbs in English and the middle ages history in Spanish and social subject, we decided to do something related with this period of time. So they was doing a handmade tote bags to sell in the solidary market prepared in the typical art week in our school. The money obtained with the seller, goes to the "Dongoyo" town in Togo.

Durante este mes, los alumnos de las clases de 5º han realizado un nuevo proyecto llamado "Bolsos de tela hechos a mano". Teniendo en cuenta que aprendieron el pasado simple de los verbos regulares en inglés y la historia de la Edad Media en lengua y el sociales, decidimos hacer algo relacionado con este período de tiempo. Así que estaban haciendo bolsas de tela para vender en el mercado solidario preparado en la típica semana de arte en nuestra escuela. El dinero obtenido con la venta va a la ciudad de "Dongoyo" en Togo.
