Our kids in 4°A and 4°B have already taken part in a Gymkhana our 'Practicum' students have organised and carried out for our e-Twinning Project 'Save A Domestic Bookworm Elf!
They all had fun!
Thank you so much Rocío, Salva, Antonio and Iván!
Thanks to our ambassadors in 6°, their teachers as well as to our PE teacher and the headteachers in 4°, too!

Happy World Poetry Day

Our kids in 6° have dealt with the poem Annabel Lee by Edgar A. Poe.

Some kids have copied it in some bunting, some others learnt the song about it (Radio Futura), some others made the posters about it and the Romantic Era and, some others became our videoclip actors for a day!

Our Spanish Language Head Teacher, Inmaculada Sánchez has thought about something big to be carried out at school.

I am delighted to post I will be in charge of making it an e-Twinning project in collaboration with other schools in Europe.

Nuestra jefa del Departamento de Lengua Castellana y Literatura y profesora de ESO y Bachillerato,Inmaculada Sánchez, lleva desde principio de curso esbozando algo grande.

Nuestra compañera de 4°EPO, Francisca Cano, también le estaba dando vueltas a una gran idea.

Como dicen, 'Great Minds Think Alike'.

Las grandes mentes piensan igual y ellas, sin hablarlo antes, compartían la misma ilusión.

Yo seré la varita que plasme sus ideas, otras mías y del claustro en un proyecto e-Twinning que acabo de esbozar en Inglés para que esas maravillosas iniciativas de nuestras compañeras lleguen a rincones escondidos de Europa.

¡Qué mayor magia que esa!

En cuanto nos acepten como socios otros profesores de otros colegios de Europa (nuestra socia de Cracovia) y nos lo apruebe el Servicio Nacional de Apoyo de e-Twinning, arrancará un proyecto apasionante para personitas, personas de mediana edad y mayores.

Y por qué no...

Para lechuzas, elfos domésticos y Boggarts.

A los dementores, mejor los dejamos bien lejos.

¡Id buscando los calcetines viejos que tengáis, que hay que prepararse para liberar a todos los Dobby del cole!

Keep tuned!

Alohomora!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr Edgar (Allan) Poe

I feel proud to say one of my favourite days in the year is getting closer in time.
Poetry Day is not only a date to devote to poetry, but to emotions as the glue that binds us to other human beings.
One kid told me robots will be able to feel a poem. That will not happen. Poetry, literature, arts, music are linked to the very core of humans.

The chosen poet for 6º will be Edgar (Allan) Poe and his 'Annabel Lee'.
I heard that poem for the first time when I was 10 and it got me thinking.
Then, as an adult and,when I was going for my degree, we had to read ´The Man of The Crowd´ as one of the compulsory tasks in Literatura Norteamericana. I fell in love with that brief story.

Our kids in 6º will:
-Make a poster about the poem
-Cope with it in both languages
-Perform it as actors
-And sing the song about it (by Radio Futura)

It will be team work with the only target to make them realise once you are deprived of your fears, you become a monster. As long as you feel scared, you keep alive.

In the event of an emergency...

To round up our unit about Disaster in 5°EPO, we have dealt with some collaborative task today.

Each team had to be ready to keep making some comic strips about that topic,but making sure they did not delete what their classmates had already written.

Technology.4°EPO

By The Leprechaun in charge7:57INFORMACIÓN SOBRE CONTENIDOSNo comments

Since we are involved in a 21st century approach to technology, isn't it crucial to go back in time to when it all started?
Kids in 4° will be focused on several devices to the extent to carry out four separate tasks about their own 'rendition', let's say, of them.
They will be arranged in groups, with a name,a badge and some allocated space.
They are going to write down a list of terms and vocabulary concerning their invention.
They are going to make a sample of it, together with and ad and,last but not least, if we do not run out of time, they will give it as a present to a local shop that sells items like theirs.
They are going to love it.
That's for sure!

Dear families,
Here I submit a link to a PDF file, a grammar that will be rather useful in case your kids feel a bit like a fish out of water in terms of the amazing field of language core.
I will set some tasks concerning this file.

To my kids in 6°who are working on one of David Walliams' books,
He has just posted that his new novel, Fing will be sold tomorrow.
I guess it will take some months to have it translated into Spanish.
Here I post the link to his website.

A mis niños fans de Tom Chaplin

By The Leprechaun in charge17:28No comments

Os adjunto el enlace al concierto homenaje a Queen de diciembre en el que Tom Chaplin (cantante de Keane y al que mis niños de 6° han aprendido a adorar desde su interpretación en Navidad de Under A Million Lights) cantó muchas canciones de la banda, con el beneplácito y admiración de Brian May.
A partir del minuto 4:45, dadle voz y disfrutad del talento de Queen en la persona de Tom Chaplin.
Mi favorita...minuto 27:30.
No es fácil cantar por Mercury pero él sabe darle un toque único.
Irene,Jorge F.,Héctor, Hugo...
Y, en el minuto 1:32:20 de concierto...la canción con la que crecimos muchos y, ahora, vuestros hijos.
It's rewarding when you realise music can still be used as that token in class to keep our little kids stamina levels up!
It will always be a kind of magic when a teacher worldwide gets into a class with the target to deal with 'will' and then kids start singing "We will we will rock you!' Pure class!

As you know, we have dealt with some explorers in our lessons in 4°.
One of them was Ernest Shackleton.
There are some news about an expedition that was focused on finding his ship, Endurance, under the ice, where it has been for a century, laid to rest.
Here I post a link to a kids friendly encyclopedia,where you will learn a lot about him.

Resumen UDI basada en la paz

By The Leprechaun in charge19:45FESTIVALS2 comments

A lo largo de varias semanas hemos trabajado la idea de paz entendida como intrínseca en cualquier ámbito de la vida y, a través del idioma inglés.
-En 5°, hemos profundizado con lecturas (Segunda Guerra Mundial y la vida de Ana Frank), asi como con clases culturales sobre cuestiones de la actualidad geopolítica (el Brexit y la cuestión de la frontera norirlandesa).
-En el proyecto semanal,hemos realizado posters sobre cómo Granada puede ser una ciudad más pacífica y acogedora hacia sus habitantes y turistas.
-En 6° terminaron los posters sobre las canciones en Inglés que transmiten sensación de tranquilidad a sus familias.
Algunos niños han escrito un relato sobre la paz de manera voluntaria y espontánea en Storybird (podeis ver uno de ellos en la columna de la derecha).
-En 3° nos hemos centrado en crear ambiente de paz hacia cada niño del aula.Hemos enfatizado la importancia de parar y detener nuestra agitación interior cuando le toca participar a otro compañero (relacionado con 'must' y su matiz lingüístico de obligación ética).
En definitiva, pretendemos que el día de la paz trascienda los límites de sus símbolos y se perciba como algo que cuidar a cada minuto de la vida personal.

Infografía literaria. 6°

Bearing in mind English and Digital Citizenship are to be dealt with as a whole, we have gone for our new project in class.
Each team will make sure they make some infographic file about a novel they are reading or have already read.
Here I submit an example that has been uploaded by the CourseHero.

Let's Make 2019 a peaceful year

By The Leprechaun in charge7:49Reflexiones en voz altaNo comments

We are on the verge of a new Peace Day celebration.
Peace is not just a word to be used to fill in cards and posters.
Peace is the motto that keeps our idea of a society (alive and kicking).
Let's ask mum or dad about that particular song that grasps their feelings, let them out and keep them under lock and key when they need so.
We will vote for the most popular 'mum and dad' peaceful song in the gadget on the right.
Go for it!

Proyecto. 5°EPO. Preparación para la Jornada de puertas abiertas 2019.

By The Leprechaun in charge11:10INFORMACIÓN SOBRE CONTENIDOSNo comments

Como cada año, se celebrará la Jornada de puertas abiertas durante el año 2019.
El objetivo es dar a conocer nuestro centro a aquellos padres que piensan matricular a sus hijos por primera vez con nosotros.
Como el curso pasado, 5° va a realizar un proyecto de Inglés enfocado a este día y dividido en cinco tareas por equipos de trabajo cooperativo.

Ayer, 25 de enero terminamos el proyecto.
Se ha dividido en tareas semanales:
1. Elaboración en equipo de una lista de vocabulario útil en inglés y español sobre el colegio, comunidad educativa y emociones (explican por qué sienten este colegio como suyo).
2. Salida por equipos a los pasillos para elaborar un plano sobre nuestras intalaciones.
3. Salida por equipos para entrevistar a un miembro de la comunidad educativa.
4. Plasmar toda esta información en español e inglés en un folleto decorado por cada equipo.
5. Fotocopiaremos cada folleto y lo repartirán en aquellos lugares de su barrio en los que les den permiso.

A school is made up by the bond among those who dwell inside.
That is the reason why our kids will be enrolled in our School Open Day.
They have carried out some tasks concerning it.
Proud of them!
