Third Term: P3 and P4

THIRD TERM:  BROWN BEAR, BROWN BEAR, WHAT DO

YOU SEE?

 

This third term P3 and P4 deal with the Didactic unit called BROWN BEAR, BROWN BEAR, WHAT DO YOU SEE?

We’ll use this fantastic tale from Bill Martin Jr and marvelously illustrated by Eric Carle (we love him!!!) to learn the names of some animals, revise and learn new colours and HAVE FUN above all!!!!!

Enjoy with Bill Martin Jr reading Brown Bear tale:

EASTER CRAFTS: OUR CREATIONS

OUR EASTER PRODUCTS

We elaborated many crafts during this last week of the second term.

P3 to P4 did a nice postcard with a chick (done with paint and their fingers) and some message at the back giving a happy Easter to their parents and with their names. They enjoyed it very much!

This is the nice model we had as a reference, but we painted only one chick!

P5 made a carton rabbit, following a fantastic model we found, a marvelous craft we modified and adapted a little bit. Kids loved it!!! We linked the craft with the new topic of this third term: FARM ANIMALS!

Carton Rabbits made by P5

 

CI decorated the Easter Tree we built. They did it with many crafts, pictures, Easter eggs, Easter bunnies, baskets and even an Easter minibook. You’ll see a photo very soon……meanwhile, look at the model that inspired us!

FATHER’S DAY!

MARCH THE 19TH, IT’S FATHER’S DAY!!!

It seems to me that we don’t celebrate Father’s Day as much as we celebrate Mother’s Day! So, this year I’ve decided to do some activities with students related to this festivity which is almost here, in a week!

With the youngest, cicle inicial for instance, we’ll do special cards and with cicle mitjà we’ll make a necktie for our dad thanks to the “origami” technique. This is the link to the activity: http://www.es.origami-club.com/valentine/necktie-heart/index.html

 
Be in touch to see photos of the final products! Children will enjoy it for sure!!!!

Bye bye!

AN EASTER TREE!

This year we’ve made an Easter Tree, an excellent idea we’ve borrowed from CRAFT JR website. We’ll decorate it as much as we can with crafts related to Easter and Spring in general!

Bye bye and have a nice lesson!!!

CARNIVAL IS COMING!

CARNIVAL, WHAT CARNIVAL?

The thing is that I wanted to write a traditional article on Carnival festivals and so on, but the truth is that this year we are not doing anything special for Carnival! What a pity! It’s not our choice, it’s the Government’s choice! No money, no extras! So, if we, schools, are not given money, we can not buy material and all the stuff necessary for making Carnival possible or other festivals, activities and so on!

So, that’s our situation people!

Have a happy Carnival (if you are fortunate….)!

Cold frozen weather!

FROZEN THERMOMETERS!!!

Yes! Almost everything outside is frozen!!! Brrrrr! Put on your jackets, gloves, hats, scarfs, boots, ….everything to keep you hot and comfortable! Take profit of this weather and stay at home, read, surf on the Internet, play computer games, play board games with your parents……home, sweet home!!!

Bye bye!
