Six schools, six countries working together in a common European School Exchange Project based on learning Art and improve our skills in English language through the study of our festivities and traditions as the starting point for the development of a coexistence in harmony.
"The Ants' Party" A funny
storytelling session by the 6th grade students.
On the 13th, 15th and 16th of May the 6th grade students held several
storytelling sessions for the Pre-school
education students and 1st and 2nd year of Primary education.
A good way to motivate our students and help them improve their communication skills,
It has been a great
experience for both the storytellers and the audience.
From
schools to our homes we know that books are very important in our lives. They show
us stories, facts, information about the world and much more.
Every
year we celebrate this special date in honour of books. We prepare different
activities at school trying to increase the interest in reading as a way to
learn and enjoy.
World
Book Day was first celebrated in 1995. It is a time when the joy of reading can
be appreciated and celebrated in more than 100 countries around the world.
This
year we are celebrating Easter at the end of March. Before we went home for the
holidays we could learn some interesting facts about this date by watching a
short video.
Afterwards
we decorated
Easter eggs and put them on the noticeboard at the main entrance.
This year some
important celebrations have coincided with the weekend and for this reason we had to work on them
before or after the date.
Valentine's Day was
during the carnival. We were working on it with presentations, worksheets and
some arts and crafts before the date.
And now it is St.
Patrick's Day, a very important event in Ireland and wherever Irish people
live.
We started by
remembering or learning about the origin of this celebration, and some
important legends and traditions around it, such as the leprechaun and his pot
of gold.
The students really
enjoyed participating in the different activities and arts and crafts.
The youngest ones made
shamrocks to decorate the board in the school hall. They listened to Irish
music and even danced a traditional dance.
The others watched a
video telling the story of St. Patrick. They learnt vocabulary and made crafts:
A door hanger, a
mini-book and a greeting card. They also carried out other activities related
to this event.
Our school now has a green air and a spring spirit!!
