Puppet Shows by 6th Grade students!

Puppet shows are great for improving speaking confidence, pronunciation, intonation and so much more!

Today we would like to share with you two different videos by two students who kindly shared them with all of us. 

The first one is called "The rose and the toad" and the person who is behind this recording is Carmen Gómez Marín, a student from 6th Grade who loves practising her English in her free time by recording puppet shows. 

Next, we have "The Gruffalo" a very popular story that Marina Ortiz decided to record in the form of a shadow theater show. 

They both did an excellent job and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Spelling Bee 2018

After some days preparing for the great event, with different groups rounds and some training, yesterday the day came and we celebrated our school final for this year Spelling Bee.
It was a great day for all the participants and also for all their classmates who were excited cheering for their classmates. Like every year we celebrated three different finals, one for each group of participants attending to their levels (1st and 2nd year; 3rd and 4th year; 5th and 6th year).
It was a real success thanks to the help of our two assistants, Liz and Maddison, the English teachers in the school and all the other teachers and people helping our event to be a great day for everybody.
Here you can see some pictures of our winners and other moments in our school finals.

And the winners are...

Sara Morales Jiménez.

Alejandro Morillo González.

Nuria Yáñez Luque.

They will have the opportunity to represent our school in the AMCO Spelling Bee National Contest on May 5th 2018 in Madrid.

CONGRATULATIONS AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!!

The garden project (Level 2)

Last week we finished our first project in collaboration with the level 2 teachers of kindergarten. The project was about the garden. In English we worked hard to study about different types of plants, how plants grow...and also, we incorporate concepts that the kids already knew and we reinforced them, such as: colors, shapes, numbers...

We had a good time learning about fruits and vegetables, and we discovered that our favourites flowers were sunflowers and poppies!

Here you can find some pics about our work and some videos that our teachers used to increase our knowledge on gardening! 

"All the flowers of tomorrow are in the seeds of today"

We made this big poster like a flower pot. 

You can see that we drew our faces and sticked them in a yellow cardboard. 

The result was so funny!

This poster made by the teachers explains us what plants need to live:

They need 4 things, do you know them? SUN, WATER, SOIL and AIR.

Once we knew what plants need to live, we explored more about gardeners: what clothes they use to work, as well as instruments used to take care plants. The teacher showed us different types of seeds and we drew our own seeds and plants.

Videos that we watched and enjoyed:
