CHRISTMAS JUMPER DAY

Mar, 26/12/2023 - 14:19 — rosa.fernandez

One more year, the English department celebrated the CHRISTMAS JUMPER DAY, an annual charity event hold by the NGO "Save the children" in order to raise funds for the poor. It was first launched in 2012 and it has become extremely popular all over the world. This year it took place on the 18th of December, which was a magical day: all the pupils in year 5 and 6 wore funny festive jumpers to school instead of normal clothes in order to "MAKE THE WORLD BETTER WITH A SWEATER". We also played Secret santa, the game of the month. Would you like to see our faces opening the presents? Take a look...

It was a wonderful day, full of excitement, laughter, fun, unique sweaters and games.

- Touch all surfaces

- and try new flavours, which are different according to the season of the year

PDI: "Galicianise yourself"

Mér, 07/06/2023 - 22:22 — rosa.fernandez

As you know, the topic of the PDI of this school year is “Galeguízate” Well, in the English classroom we tried to give it an English “touch” and share it with our friends of a school in Manchester: St. James´ C of E Primary School.

What could we do? Well, first we translated the name of the project into English: “GALICIANISE YOURSELF”. Then we asked for some help to our dear native speakers: Susana Barreiro and Declan Mathews, regular collaborators of our school. Also, we invited Critina Pato and Marc Guscin to come and visit us. Finally, and after some research, we tried to explain our penpals in Manchester who we are. We divided our work in 3 terms:

1.- During the first term we introduced ourselves as Galicians with the help of Susana Barreiro and Cristina Pato.

2.- On the second term we found out more our ancestors, the Celts, with Declan Mathews.

3.- And finally, on the third term, we discovered other Coruñas around the world thanks to Marc Guscin.

And we recorded everything in the school radio in some podcasts which we sent to Manchester. And they love our Project!

OBRADOIRO DE BAILE GALEGO TRADICIONAL

Ven, 02/06/2023 - 18:40 — rosa.fernandez

Dentro das actividades do PDI deste curso, "Galeguízate", a semana pasada organizamos un obradoiro de baile galego tradicional dirixido ao alumnado de 5º de Primaria. O baile existíu dende sempre en Galicia, igual que en todos os lugares do mundo: bailar era o xeito relacionarse cos demais, de transmitir tradicións e costumes, de desfrutar e pasalo ben. Está asociado á música e ao canto e forma parte da nosa esencia, das nosas raíces, dos nosos sinais de identidade. Por iso, a danza forma parte do patrimonio cultural inmaterial. Pois ben, 6 alumnos e alumnas de 5º foron os encargados de explicarlles aos seus compañeiros/as a orixe do baile galego, onde e cando se bailaba e que tipos había. Asemade, fixeron unha pequena demostración dos bailes soltos, dos agarrados, das danzas e, por último, fixeron bailar a todos e todas con varios bailes-xogo. Botádelle unha ollada a esta presentación e veredes!
