Science projects

During these weeks, to reinforce everything we have learned throughout the school year in science, each grade has developed a special project. Here is a look at what our young scientists have been investigating:

  • 3rd Grade: Discovering the green world

Our 3rd graders have been exploring the green world, studying how plants grow, their life cycles, and why they are essential for our planet.

  • 4th Grade: We are animal experts

In the 4th grade, the focus turned to wildlife. Students researched different species, their habitats, and the fascinating ways animals adapt to their environments.

  • 5th Grade: Fossils

5th grade went back in time! They have been learning about paleontology and how fossils help us understand the history of life on Earth.

  • 6th Grade: Stop smoking

Our oldest students took on a very important topic. They researched the components of tobacco and the health risks it poses. They also learned about healthy habits and a smoke-free lifestyle.

CAN I BORROW…? 1st GRADE

During the first term, the Year 1 students have been working on the structure “Can I borrow…?”, a very useful and practical way to politely ask for something in English.

To practise what they had learned, the students took part in a fun and communicative activity. Working in pairs, they asked each other for different classroom objects. In this way, they not only practised the grammatical structure, but also improved their pronunciation, listening skills and confidence when speaking English.

As a final part of the activity, we recorded a video in which the students can be seen interacting with each other. The video reflects their motivation, progress and enjoyment in the English classroom.

We invite you to watch the video and see how we learn English in an active and engaging way!

ENGLISH THEATRE!

Over the past few weeks, our Infant Education children have had the opportunity to enjoy two special English theatre performances at school. These activities are part of our ongoing effort to bring English to life in a fun, meaningful, and engaging way.

Our first play was “The Ugly Duckling,” a charming story set on a farm and full of friendly animals. The children loved meeting the different characters, participate and singing along.

The second play, “Santa’s Boots,” helped us dive into the festive spirit of Christmas. This performance also included animal characters and invited the children to laugh, and follow the story in English while learning new vocabulary connected to the holiday season.

Both plays encouraged the children to listen, interact, and enjoy English in a natural context, making language learning fun.

Here you have some pictures we take during the theater.

HALLOWEEN

During the pasts days our youngest learners have been celebrating Halloween in a very special way!

We read the story “Go Away, Big Green Monster!” by Ed Emberley. This is a fantastic book to help us learn and review the parts of the face in English. The children loved seeing the monster appear and disappear as we turned the pages!

After enjoying the story, each class worked on a creative Halloween activity:

I3: They painted a spooky Halloween picture.

I4 and I5: They created their own Big Green Monsters! They had so much fun designing their monsters, adding the eyes, nose, mouth, hair and ears.

LEARNING ABOUT SCHOOL SUPPLIES IN I5!

In our 5-year-old English class, we have been learning about school supplies in a fun and interactive way!

We started by singing a song to introduce the new vocabulary. Then, we practiced the words with flashcards and a worksheet, helping us connect the pictures, words, and sounds.

To keep practicing in a playful way, we set up learning stations around the classroom. Each station had a different activity to help reinforce the vocabulary:
At the first station, students completed a puzzle and said the word aloud.
At the second station, they threw a dice and named the object that appeared.
At the third station, they read the word and searched for the correct picture.
And at the last station, they played a memory game, saying each word when they found a matching pair.

Learning Stations: English in Action!

Today, our 5th graders had an amazing time working through English learning stations! Each station included fun activities and games designed to help them learn new vocabulary and practice their oral skills.

Students moved around the classroom, working in small groups, speaking in English, and helping each other to complete the challenges. It was wonderful to see them so engaged, and motivated while using the language.

Exploring Our Classmates’ Likes

This week, our students had a fun and interactive English activity! They created colourful charts and asked their classmates questions about their likes and preferences — from favorite foods and sports to animals and colours.

After gathering all the answers, they worked together to compare the results and discuss what they discovered. Some students were surprised to find how many friends shared the same interests, while others learned something new about their classmates!                                            The activity was a great way to practice speaking and writing in English, while also learning how to collect and organize information. Plus, it was full of smiles, laughter, and teamwork!

VEHICLES I5

In the I5A i B class, we have worked on colours and emotions such as: happy, angry, sad, calm, afraid and in love…with the story of «The colour monster». We had made a worked a worksheet on the emotion of joy. We have also made a dictation of the colour monsters.

In the both classes we have played a game with the rope to work on the vehicles.

Currently, we are working on winter clothes. The teacher has read the story of «Froggy gets dressed» to the students.

They had a lot of fun!
