Carnival 2015

Last Carnival we had a great time.

It was so fun to see your costumes, your dances and to burn the giant sardine!

This is a picture of me with some of you. That day I was not Ana, I was Snow White!




Have you seen the movie?

We love Art!


We have been working with clay.

The result is amazing but what we really enjoy is the process: imagining, molding, painting,…

If a picture is worth a thousand words. Then is a video worth a million?

Watch it!



Be ready for our Xmas Festival

Hello!
Christmas is coming! And to celebrate it we are learning some Christmas carols at school. 

One of them is a very traditional one called Santa Claus is coming to town, this version is sang by The Jackson five and the other one was composed and sang by the unforgettable John Lennon and is titled Happy Christmas.

We hope you like them and you have Merry Christmas.

If you want to practice them just click on the links below.












Merry Christmas!

Story Time!

Hello there! This is Ellen, Iain's mother. Iain is in the three-year-olds class, although he will soon be four (in March!).

Most of you probably know me by now, from the Story Time reading sessions at school. Ana, the School Principal, has asked me to write a few lines about Story Time for the school's English blog. 

So here they are! 

Story Time is a voluntary project of mine at the school. My son Iain is half Spanish (on his father's side) and half Scottish (on my side) and he started attending this Primary School last September. I thought it would be a great opportunity to get involved in the educational community my son was about to enter, so I offered the school to go twice a month and read good, entertaining literature in English to all the classes, from 3 year-olds to 6th graders. 

I am greatly enjoying the experience so far and I hope you are too!

Why am I doing this? 

I have always been interested in children's literature, ever since I remember and, since my son was born in 2009, this interest has grown even stronger. I am the author of a bilingual children's literature blog (We Read it Like This / Lo leemos así), containing reviews of great children's literature, focused on the experience of reading aloud to children. I thought my love and enthusiasm for children's literature, combined with my passion for reading aloud, might bring some fun to the school, while introducing you all to some of the greatest children's books in English. 

Have you visited the Story Time blog yet? What are you waiting for? The blog has recordings of all the stories I have read at the school so you can listen to them again at home or in the classroom if your teacher agrees. 

If you have any suggestions about the kind of book you would like me to read, please leave a comment on the blog (in English if possible!). 

If you have any comments about the stories and why you like any one of them in particular, please leave a comment too. 

I would love to hear from you!

See you at the school library soon!
