PDI "Enchanted landscapes": Sherwood Forest and Robin Hood

Dom, 12/05/2024 - 18:54 — rosa.fernandez

This is our last  contribution to this school year project "Enchanted landscapes". After having defined what a forest is, its deepest secrets and the similarities between Galician and Irish forestry, on this term we have decided to do some research around one of the most famous legends of the UK: Robin Hood, which is firmly attached to Sherwood Forest. Who was Robin Hood? Was he real? Who were his allies? And his true love? What about his arch-enemy? Take a look at this presentation made by the pupils in year 6  to learn more about this fascinating story. 

 

 

 

 

 

THE GAMBIA

Mér, 08/05/2024 - 18:11 — rosa.fernandez

Last Friday, the 3rd of May, the pupils in year 6 visited the smiling coast of Africa with Zang Sambou, a young Gambian living in Coruña. With his explanations, we had the chance of discovering this fascinating country: its geography, landscape, flora, fauna, currency, population, gastronomy, traditions and much more. We also tried some cashew nuts and the delicious wonjo juice, made with dried hibiscus flowers. Besides, we could see some dalasis, a yuca, a batata and a coconut.

This was the last trip of the project we have been developing this school year 2023-2024: Globetrotters. We have travelled around some English speaking countries thanks to many native speakers who kindly accompanied us in this amazing adventure: Susana García, Eva Cotelo, Declan Mathews and Zang Sambou, among others. We really appreciate their enthusiasm and commitment!

REAL CHEFS

Sáb, 20/04/2024 - 22:00 — rosa.fernandez

Today the year-5-students have been real chefs!!! We have put on our aprons and hats, washed our hands and  followed the instructions to prepare two delicious desserts: one typically British (banoffee tart) and the other from Australia (Fairy bread). Banoffee pie is a British dessert made from bananas, whipped crream and toffee (dulce de leche), over a buttery biscuit base. Its name is a combination of the words "banana" and "toffee". This classic dessert is super easy to assemble and is totally addicted. Once you taste it, you won´t be able to resist!

What is fairy bread? It´s an Australian snack made from sliced bread, butter and sprinkles, more commonly known as hundreds and thousands There is a variation of this delicious snack: The unicorn toast, which is made of chocolate flavoured sprinkles instead. Most Australians grew up with this beloved sugary snack, which was reserved for birthday parties and special ocassions like Christmas Day or Australia Day.

PDI: Enchanted landscapes

Xov, 11/04/2024 - 17:46 — rosa.fernandez

 

This year the whole school is working on a project called "Enchanted landscapes", focusing on the forests. As you know, we always try to give it an English touch, so on this 2nd term we have researched the similarities between Galicia and our sister land: Ireland. Both countries have always had a strong bond and connection, especially in the greenery. Some people even say that the Irish descend from the Milenians, Breogan´s sons, and that we have the same DNA. What is undeniable is that our landscapes are quite similar. Take a look at this presentation made by the pupils in year 6 and click to learn more about this fascinating world. You will also know about the magical creatures that inhabit the Irish woods.

The second term of Arts and crafts is here for you! As you know, with our project "4 in a year" we are approaching to different artistic styles, techniques, formats and artists through the seasons. During this second term, we have worked the winter and learned about the Impressionism with Claude Monet and Berthe Morisot. We were very lucky to count again on Xulio Gallego, who taught us the colour wheel and the use of paintbrushes and tempera paints. Thank you, Xulio, for all your knowledge, patience and commitment. See you again in spring!

Congrats on the great job you have done! You are real artists!!!

Irish forestry

Mar, 19/03/2024 - 22:16 — rosa.fernandez

Today has been a special day at school: we have celebrated St. Patrick´s Day with Declan Mathews, an Irish teacher, member of honour of our school community. So we all have been Irish for a day, and wore green, a lucky colour. We have learned many facts about Ireland thanks to Declan: he took us for a walk in the forest and we could notice that the Irish forestry is very similar to ours.  Gorses, ferns and shamrocks, along with oak trees, chestnut trees and birch trees decorate their forests and give them the characteristic color green.  At the end, we had to answer 10 questions of a quiz and, as we did it so well, we got the leprechaun´s pot of gold!!! Hurray!!!

 
Thank you so much, Declan, for your patience, kindness and wisdom!

PEACE DAY

Dom, 04/02/2024 - 22:19 — rosa.fernandez

Last Tuesday, the 30th of January, we celebrated the International School Day of Peace and Non-Violence. But do you know what peace is?  What does peace mean to you? Well, peace is about diversity, tolerance, friendship, freedom, inclusion, sharing, support, help, understanding ... Based on them, all the students in year 5 and 6 created our FLOWERS FOR PEACE including some of these powerful words 

We also had the chance to meet Marta, a corageous Ukrainian mother who came to Spain a year ago with her 4 kids, students in our school. She was a Spanish and English teacher in Ukraine, and she shared her knowlegde with us. She talked about the beauty of her country and her experience as a refugee in Coruña. She traced her route to come to Spain in a map, mentioning all the places they lived in before ending in our town. She really appreciates all the support and help she is receiving and she hopes to go back to her country soon.
Thank you for your courage and generosity, Marta!
All the best!!!
 
 

PEACE DAY - 30th January 2024 

Bilingual sections: Arts & Crafts

Dom, 14/01/2024 - 18:32 — rosa.fernandez

As you know, this school year we are learning Arts & Crafts as a bilingual section. That means that we use English as well as Galician to communicate among us during the lessons. We are developing a project around the seasons, the perfect excuse to observe the changes in nature from an emotional and artistic perspective. Under the title "4 in a year" we are approaching to different artistic languages, styles, techniques, formats and artists. During this first term, we have worked around the autumn or fall, learning about the pointillism with Georges Seurat and Yayoi Kusama. We have also met Giuseppe Arcimboldo and his famous portraits of fruits. Finally, we have counted on the presence of Xulio Gallego, a teacher and local artist who taught us how to use the perspective and the vanishing points in our drawings. Thank you, Xulio, for all your knowledge, patience and commitment. We hope to see you again in the winter!
