The Fonix contest- Regional stage

  Last Saturday Anna E., Anna M., their parents and me went to Tarragona. There were 15 or 16 pupils in each grade, and the 14th of May we’ll know the winners. We hope Anna E. and Anna M. become the winners!

Now look at these photos during the test

And finally, we know the results, they aren’t the winners, but they did it really well, so I’m sure that they’re the second in each cathegory! What a pity that there’s only one winner…

TOWN PROJECTS

We’ve done lots of projects: about animals, the school, towns, houses, famous people…  In groups of 4 or 5 pupils (teacher decides the groups and changes them in each project) decide the title and the content of their project, from a topic.

  For example, in this unit the topic was TOWN and they did: 

MY TOWN: L’ametlla de Mar
 MY DREAM TOWN
MY PERFECT PLANET
A FUTURE TOWN
OTHER TOWNS AND CITIES: Rome

They hava a lot of imagination. And they also did the ANT TOWN and CHOCOLATELAND!

“THE FONIX” CONTEST

This year there is a contest around Catalonia called “The Fonix”, and our school participates. We did a test to each class in the 3rd cycle, and there were a lot of excellent marks. But only 1 child in 5th grade and another in 6thgrade could win. So we tossed up for it (fer-ho a sorts entre les millors notes) and the LOCAL STAGE winners are:

Anna Espuny (5thC) and Anna Martín (6thA). Congratulations girls, now do your best in the REGIONAL STAGE in Tarragona next Saturday.

NELLY FURTADO “All good Things(Come To An End)”
NELLY FURTADO “Say it right” 
HILARY DUFF “Wake Up”
HILARY DUFF “Fly”
BRITNEY SPEARS “Baby One More Time”

Peace Day

On 30th January is celebrated the School Day of Non-violence and Peace. So this day we talked about some words related to peace, we sang a famous song and we did these big doves with our hands on it and a message against war, violence and intollerance. There were lot of original and impressive messages. For example:

Ariadna Álvarez- 5th A
“Friendship is wonderful, make the most of it”
Mar Martí- 5th C
“On Peace Day not wars and lots of peace”

But in March we did a semifinal, and then the winners participate in a final betwwen both classes: 6th A and 6th B. And the winner was… Clàudia Caramés; the second Albert Borràs and the third Alexandre Delvaux. But everybody did their best, so we all enjoyed ourselves!

Meeting 6th grade

  This level has got only 2 groups, they are 49 pupils. Their tutors are Xavier F. and Miquel Àngel G. respectively. Most of them are boys, so they are a little bit naughty… I’m joking, they’re great!

  Next year, these students are going to be in Secondary school and I’ll miss them very much. We’ve been together 2 years and we’ve done lots of activities together: excursions, contests, projects, games,… You can see them in this blog, enjoy yourself!

Meeting the 5th grade

5th grade is a group of 60 pupils more or less, distributed in 3 classrooms: A, B and C. Their tutors are Víctor P., Lídia G. and Sergio T. respectively.
