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!
