THEATRE PLAY: THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR

Some fifth grade students prepared a theatre play for kindergarten students at our school. They worked really hard during their recess time for a while and yesterday it was the big day.

They created their own costumes and rehearsed a lot. I'm really proud of you, Lucía, Nicolás, Alejandra, Julia, Camila, Iris, Sara, Carla, Daniela, Silvia, Miguel, Lola, Adriana, Celtia, Adrián and Gara (our camera girl). WELL DONE!

Yesterday (17th june) was the big day. Below's the video if you'd like to watch it.

It was a pleasure preparing this theatre play with you and being your teacher. Wishing you all the best in sixth grade and HAVE A WONDERFUL SUMMER!

Well done, kids!

PEACE DAY 2019 - WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD!

For Peace Day, fifth graders reflected on how wonderful their worlds are. 

They wrote about those things that make their worlds wonderful as we realised how, it's on our hands to keep the world a peaceful place.

We also learned the song "What a wonderful world", by Louis Armstrong and made the video you can watch below.

ALL ABOUT US T-SHIRTS

Back in September, as a back to school activity and beginning-of-the-year assessment, fifth graders made an "ALL ABOUT ME T-SHIRT" sharing information about themselves. Then they talked about it to their partners and had to introduce each other in front of the rest of the class.

Below are some examples if you'd like to see.

HALLOWEEN CHARACTERS BY 5th GRADE STUDENTS

For Halloween, 5th graders designed these very interesting creatures. There were witches, vampires, monsters, werewolves... They also wrote a description and will be soon showing and telling the rest of the class, so stay tuned to hear them describe their fabulous characters! Below are some photos of their work if you'd like to see!

5th GRADERS PRESENT THEIR LEAFLETS

Fifth graders made some brochures to describe places they'd like to visit and want to recommend to you. After making them, they had to present them to persuade everybody else to go to the place they described. Where do you want to go?

EASTER EGG HUNT 2016

Before our holidays we had some fun reviewing some of the things we've learned through an Easter egg hunt. We went outside (well, today we had to use the gym because of rainy weather...) and had a different egg hunt. Our mission was to find the eggs with the image representing our sentence cards. Here you are some photos if you'd like to see!

If you click on the picture below you can download the cards we used to paste in the eggs and to give to the children as cards for them to match with the eggs.
