Writing on a whiteboard is fun and our students love it. this is a great resource, which easily gets the whole class involved. We use it a lot in our lessons. This time our students practiced vocabulary and English sentence structures in the English class.

Our students did a presentation about different rivers of Andalucía. They researched information to decide which river they wanted to talk about and find out about its source, course, tributaries and where the river ends. After that, they wrote down this information following the structures that we had worked in class and prepared their presentation.

Today, our dear language assistant, Isabel Palomera, has finished her stay at our school. She has done a great job and all of us are going to miss her a lot. We wish her the best in the future.

In the Science class our students researched information about some important inventions. then they displayed this information on small posters.

In the English class the students had to describe a drawing of their family members doing different tasks at home. First, they planned what they wanted to say. Then, they drew their family members and themselves doing housework at home. And last, they presented it to the class.

In this term our students have been studying the Ancient History of Spain. As part of this unit, they had to investigate the Phoenician and Roman remains in Almuñécar. They used the school's laptops and followed the instructions given via Google Classroom.

For the investigation of the Phoenicians, the students researched information about the Phoenician monuments of Almuñécar using the laptops. Then, they copied and pasted the images of the monuments in a document and wrote a short text describing them. After that, they saved the document and submitted it to Classroom. 

For the investigation of the Romans,  the students were given some images of the Roman monuments of Almuñécar and they looked for the information in two different websites. They also wrote a short description of each monument behind the images and made a poster. Then, they wrote a comment in Classroom saying that they had already completed the task.

All the posters have been displayed in our corridor.

Last week we worked on St Patrick's Day, the popular Irish holiday celebrated on March 17th.

The students did several activities: 

- They watched a video to find out about the history of St Patrick and the celebration of this important day.

- They listened to a couple of songs to identify the symbols associated to this day and completed an oral activity to learn the new vocabulary.

- They played a little game to reveal their Irish leprechaun names. Then they used the laptops to look up their names on the Cambridge online dictionary. Their leprechaun names were very funny!

- They added a green hat and a red beard to a photograph of themselves in order to resemble a leprechaun. Then, they used this photograph to ask a classmate what their leprechaun name was. All their leprechaun faces were displayed on one wall of our school corridor.

- They did an online activity on Liveworksheets. They had to complete some gaps by selecting the right option from three given alternatives. After that, they listened to the text, once they had got all the answers correct.

- And lastly, they practiced how to search images on Google. Then, they copied and pasted the images on a text document. For this, they already had the sentences written down on a text document. They needed to search for the appropriate image representing each sentence and paste it below. They also had to save this document and submit it to Classroom.

We have been working on the description of healthy meals using "There is" and "There are". Would you like to see our students' projects?

Our students are learning the importance of taking care of their health. This oral activity allowed them to get familiar with the identification of healthy and unhealthy habits as well as giving advice.

Our students have been practising how to build a sentence in English. For that they have used coloured mini wordcards, which have helped them to know the order of the elements in the sentence. First, they coloured the mini wordcards using a specific colour code. After that, they cut these cards out. This activity allowed the students to practise sentence building in a fun way.

This week week we have been studying the minerals and their properties. The students have made a mineral card with specific information such as the name, colour, lustre, crystal structure, hardness and use. The, they ptacticed with Isabel and in pairs how to describe orally their mineral following a guided text. They also wrote a description of their mineral on their notebooks.

Today we went out of the classroom to the playground to observe the plants that our students see every day.

They worked in small groups. They had a worksheet with some questions that guided them at the task of plant observation.

This way they could apply what they had previously learnt in class.

What a great experience!

This week we celebrated Halloween in the English class and our students had a lot of fun. 

They first watched a presentation about Halloween and The day of the dead, given by Isabel, our language assistant. Then, they played a Kahoot game by answering questions that were based on this presentation. 

The students also played a game where they had to draw a monster as a class and follow Isabel's instructions. This way they revised basic parts of the body.

And last, they participated in an oral activity in which one student had to describe a witch and another student had to guess who the witch was. With this last activity students could put into practice some vocabulary they had already learnt in Unit 1 of English to describe hair .

Let me introduce you to our new language assistant. Her name is Isabel and she is from the United States. She started in our school last Thursday. 

Before that, she recorded a beautiful video presentation about herself so that our students could get to know her a little bit more.

After watching her presentation, the students worked on some questions that they were willing to ask Isabel when they met her in person.

Yesterday, she came in fourth grade B's classroom for the first time and the students had the opportunity to ask her their questions. And today was the turn for fourth grade A.

She is so nice! We are very lucky to have Isabel in our school.

 Sabrina, our language assistant, also wanted to express her gratitude to the school with this beautiful farewell video.

 Yesterday, our dear language assistant, Sabrina Stegall, finished her stay at our school. She has performed her job with great enthusiasm and professionalism. We wish her all the best at her next school. 

We💗Sabrina!
