Christmas explained by 2ºB, 3ºA, 4ºA and 4ºB

Good afternoon.
Today, 18th December, we recorded some videos in 2ºB, 4ºA and 4ºB.
We tried to talk a bit about Christmas, about the Christmas Tree they´ve made with teacher Sandra and they tried to sing the carol we learnt (which is quite difficult. They tried their best).

Good morning.
This is the video we recorded in class with the voices of some children in 3ºA and the pics about
the workshop carried out by Beatriz (M.´s mum) in teacher María´s class  last week and from the Nativity
Set.
Las voces son de alumnos de 3ºA y las fotografías de estos dos videos, las manualidades que les
enseñó Beatriz (la mamá de M.) en clase de la seño María la semana pasada y del Belén de clase.
 
 

Good evening.
Her I submit a podcast about Christmas by 4ºB. Some voices will sound familiar to you...
The pic is of Omagh (Northern Ireland) and how it looks this Christmas (lights are quite different
these days from those I saw in 2002 and 2003. Much nicer now!)





Here I am, taking the most of my break time to update the blog with the carols your kids have voted for.
3ºB,4°A and 4°B love this one:
Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer (pinchad el enlace)
And 2ºB and 3ºA love this one:
Yo lo he cantado más rápido... (no encuentro una versión algo más dinámica)
Lo escuché de pequeña en la película de Mujercitas (la version de Elizabeth Taylor) y me encantó. Es de mediados del siglo XIX.
Por eso lo busqué  hace años hasta que dí con él.
It Came Upon A Midnight Clear (pinchad el enlace)
6º cantará As I Went Down in the River To Pray. Lo aprendieron la generación de alumnos que ahora están en 2º de ESO. En realidad a mi me la enseñaron en Irlanda, en el grupo de canto al que iba cada semana y la cantamos varias veces alli en el escenario. (Hacíamos varias voces y sonaba muy bonito). La canción en sí no es un villancico sino una canción Gospel que cantaban los esclavos de las plantaciones y que se hizo conocida en la versión de Alison Krauss.La seño Eli ha decidido rescatarlo esta Navidad para sexto y, les ha encantado la idea.
As I Went Down in the River To Pray (Pinchad el enlace) Lo canta con un estilo country (por cierto, la música country es de origen irlandés,  de los emigrantes que dejaron Irlanda en el siglo XIX a causa de la Potato Famine, la epidemia que atacó al cultivo de la patata y que causó pobreza y hambruna en el país. Los irlandeses que emigraron a USA llevaron su música con ellos... si habéis viajado a Irlanda alguna vez y habéis estado en una sesión de música tradicional, seguramente habréis escuchado la música tradicional celta y alguna que otra canción que os habrá recordado al country ;)

Thanksgiving

This morning we were lucky enough as to have a student among us who can definitely talk about Thanksgiving. She used to celebrate it with her family when she lived in the US, so here she is, recalling those memories.
Thanks so much for this, Sofía!

And last but not least...

Good evening,
Here I upload two more videos.
There are two more which I cannot upload due to some technical reasons.
If you want to watch them, just let your kids bring a USB device and they will have the chance
to have them at home (just those in which they appear).
Have a great weekend!

More videos about Halloween and All Saints Day

Good evening, everyone.
Here I submit another video with our students´opinions.


Halloween and All Saints Day

Good evening, everyone.
Here I submit a video with our students voices (2ºBachillerato) but with the decorations some of our
students in Primary have prepared this week.
The idea is to chat about the extent to which Halloween is celebrated by children or if we stick to All Saints Day, as it always was and will be our belief.
I hope you enjoy it.
It is much better if you use some headphones.
Thanks so much to our students for their cooperation!

Halloween and All Saints' Day

Buenas tardes a todos.
Todos los videos se han colgado con el permiso paterno de los alumnos mediante autorización expresa para esta actividad.
Dear parents,
As you know, we live in a society in which traditions have a lot to do with social media and networks.
I was not raised into the Halloween culture, basically because we have always celebrated All Saints' Day in Spain, which I strongly support.
However, I was lucky enough as to live just an hour away from the place in which Halloween is said to have been settled as a tradition.
We have always thought, thanks to TV...that Halloween is an American tradition, which is not true.
As you know, Halloween is a Celtic tradition and it started to be celebrated in Northern Ireland, in a city called Londonderry (an hour away from the place I lived in 12 years ago:Omagh).
So then I had the chance to celebrate Halloween twice in Ireland.There it made sense, but it does not make sense for me in Spain.
But our children like the costume party and the sweets...
And since it has to do with culture and my subject, we will devote some time to it, bearing in mind it is All Saints' Day what we really care for in our culture.
I'll upload our students videos as soon as we record them and I edit them, too.
Have a great week!
Ps:Congrats to our students in 2Primaria for their nice riddles they prepared as their homework.
Take care!

Creativity

Good evening!
Here I am, checking my networks at the end of a busy day and I just came across something which I consider both cute and creative.
A friend of a friend has launched a project called "Napoleon The Cat", in which he is taking pics and designing some merchandising about a cat he got a few months ago.
He deserves some sharing in networks since he is doing a nice and great job.
Check these links about it or look for its page in Facebook:Napoleon the Cat:

Cambio de diseño. Numbers Game

Hi everyone!
You are checking the right blog though I decided to change its layout to the one I once
used, back in 2009 when it all started.
It looks much better and it is much easier to read.
Keep enjoying our bank holiday.
See you tomorrow.
