WELCOME EVERYBODY

“Fridge” and “refrigerator” are synonyms. “FRIDGE” is more popular in the British English language, while  “REFRIGERATOR” is more commonly  used by the Americans. But both have the same meaning: “a machine which keeps food cold and so prevents it from going bad”. The title of this article is only an excuse to present a sketch performed by  students from fourth grade. In the scene they are practicing interrogative questions using “is there…?”. You can also go to the article Alvaro´s fridge in this blog to see more about the same topic.

The celebration of the “School Peace day” will be held in our school next Monday. You can go to these links to see about the song “Imagine” in this blog and about other things that we did in prevous years.

 I SEE TREES OF GREEN,
RED ROSES TOO
I SEE THEM BLOOM
FOR ME AND YOU

AND I THINK TO MYSELF
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD.

I SEE SKIES OF BLUE
AND CLOUDS OF WHITE
THE BRIGHT BLESSED DAY,
THE DARK SACRED NIGHT

AND I THINK TO MYSELF
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD.
THE COLORS OF THE RAINBOW
SO PRETTY IN THE SKY
ARE ALSO ON THE FACES
OF PEOPLE GOING BY
I SEE FRIENDS SHAKING HANDS
SAYING “HOW DO YOU DO”
THEY´RE REALLY SAYING
“I LOVE YOU”

I HEAR BABIES CRYING,
I WATCH THEM GROW
THEY´LL LEARN MUCH MORE
THAN I´LL EVER KNOW

AND I THINK TO MYSELF
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD
YES I THINK TO MYSELF
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD.

You can visit in this blog  last year´s article with the same title.  The programme ESCUELA 2.0 gives our students the chance to work in class with personal laptops to increase their abilities using ICT resources to learn. We show some examples made by a couple of students :  Noemí González and Jorge Méndez. The following works were made by themselves without any help. Congratulations to both of them!

The title of this article is a well known English proverb. However, we are going to write not only about “apples” but also about “the fruit” in general. We have been learning “fruit names” in third grade this week because they are healthy and tasty. We show here some of our children´s  drawings about fruit. They were all made by students in the group 3rd B.

The students in 6th grade are practicing the pronuntiation of some irregular verbs in the following video. They belong to the group SIXTH A. This is only a first part of a long project and we would like to present more verbs in the future . We must thank the following pupils for their cooperation in this project: Anco Suárez (verb  BREAK-BROKE-BROKEN),  Mario Ramos (verb BUY-BOUGHT-BOUGHT), Paula Peláez (verb CUT-CUT-CUT), Pablo Sánchez (verb CATCH-CAUGHT-CAUGHT), Christian Noval (verb COME-CAME-COME), Vanesa Sánchez and Manuel Menéndez (verb DO-DID-DONE), Yerai Martínez (verb DRINK-DRANK-DRUNK), Noemí González (verb DRIVE-DROVE-DRIVEN), Guiomar Ornia (verb EAT-ATE-EATEN) and Sara Álvarez (verb FALL-FELL-FALLEN). All of them give an example of each verb in their SIMPLE PAST TENSE.

We hope that Santa Claus or Father Christmas or Papa Noël visits us very soon and brings us good things. The students in fourth grade have prepared this letter with their requests. Today we start our Christmas holidays, the first term of the school year is over, we all deserve some rest now, we´ll be back in January 2012. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

And you can see and learn here  the “Christmas carol” used as the soundtrack of our letter, enjoy it!

Our students from third grade wish a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everybody in the following video:

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM NAVA

“LAST CHRISTMAS” BY CRAZY FROG

Is the “verb”  the most important part of a sentence?. Little children don´t know the answer to this question but their teacher realizes about the importance of learning “actions” to understand  and make phrases. In simple  sentences like ” I can…” or “I can´t…” is necessary to use one action at least. This is what we are learning  in third grade at the moment. With the following film  everybody at school can revise some verbs. Thank you very much to the students in third grade who put their voices to make the film. Great work!!!

This is the continuation of our previous work -THE FIVE SENSES (PART 1)- . This time the students in the group 4th A put their voices to a new film where they talk about the other three senses : smell, taste and touch.

See the following video , we talk about two of our five senses. The voices belong to the students in 4th B:
