HELLO CHILDREN!!  It´s time to back to school. 

Here we are again!!

THE THREE LITTLE PIGS

Alumnos e alumnas de educación infantil, 4 e 5 anos, acudiron o pasado 24 de maio ao Auditorio Municipal de Ourense para presenciar unha obra teatral en inglés, concretamente THE THREE LITTLE PIGS, baseada no famoso conto Os Tres Porquiños.

On May 24th, students from the four and five year preschool classes also attended a theatrical perfomance in the Municipal Auditorium in Ourense, titled "THE THREE LITTLE PIGS" also by the group "Theatre4Schools". This interactive version of the classic children´s story included music and songs and was a hit with the young students. 

In this version, the three little pigs win the lottery and decide to each build their own house. Two of the pigs do not like to work very much, and make their houses out of straw and wood, but the third, hard-working pig builds his house out of bricks. The pigs are soon visited by the Big Bad Wolf, who tries to blow the houses down.

As in Robin Hood, this performance brings the English language to the students in a fun and enjoyable way, with vocabulary, expressions and simple structures, adapted to their ages. Social values including effort and teamwork to solve a common problem are underlying themes in the play. The students enjoyed the performance and the songs that they had learned previously in English class. 

Here is a presentation that includes different parts of the play and pictures from before and after.  

ROBIN HOOD

O 23 de maio, alumnos e alumnas de 3º e 4º de Educación Primaria acudiron ao Auditorio Municipal de Ourense para presenciar a obra teatral en inglés: ROBIN HOOD, unha versión da famosa historia inglesa do heroe ROBIN HOOD, que roubaba aos ricos para dárllo aos pobres. Obra posta en escea polo grupo Theatre4Schools.

On May 23rd, the third and fourth grade students visited the Municipal Auditorium in Ourense to attend a performance of "Robin Hood" by the group "Theatre4Schools." It was an excellent opportunity to practice English as we enjoyed this adaptation of the classic English tale about the thief who steals from the rich to give to the poor. 

"Robin returns to Nottingham after five years and finds that Prince John has placed unbearable taxes on the people of the town. Lady Marian is captured and her hand in marriage is offered as first prize in an archery tournament, in an attempt by Prince John to capture Robin Hood. An adventure where romance is mixed with the fight against oppression." 

This enjoyable activity used the art of theatre as a new tool in English language education, but also touched on values including solidarity. The language used in the play was adapted to the ages of the students, and was complimented by songs practised in the classroom prior to attending the play, so students could participate on the day of the performance. During the play, the actors asked several students from the audience to join them on stage, to help them fight against the evil Prince John. After, the actors asked the audience a number of questions to see if the students understood the story, and also invited students to ask their own questions about the play and actors. 

In the following presentation different moments of the play are shown, including when Miguel, from the fourth grade, was invited on stage, as well as photos from before and after the presentation. 

What Do You Like?

The primary students at our school have been very busy!
Over the past few weeks, we have created an english mural in our school,
filled with sentences written by the students talking about things that they like: 

Our younger students told us about animals and food that they like, 

while our older students have written all about activities they like to do, too. 

Participation was completely voluntary, and some of our students have blown us away
with their enthusiasm, creativity, and imagination!

Thank you to everyone who participated! Who knows what our next project will be....

PEACE DAY

Ao longo desta semana realizamos diversas actividades para conmemorar o DÍA ESCOLAR DA PAZ E DA NON-VIOLENCIA. Unha delas foi a realización dun mural con debuxos de pombas da paz nas que ían escritas palabras relacionadas coa mesma.

Tamén realizamos outras actividades traballando o vocabulario en inglés sobre a PAZ, entre elas a redacción de frases con expresións relativas a que cousas ou situacións da súa vida cotiá lles facían sentir ou estar en PAZ. Vemos aquí como mostra os traballos realizados polos alumnos e alumnas de 4º de Educación Primaria.

ALICE

O pasado luns, 18 de xaneiro, os nenos e nenas de 5º e 6º de primaria fomos ver unha obra de teatro-musical en inglés. A obra titulada ALICE, foi representada pola compañía BLUE MANGO THEATRE, que xa coñecíamos doutra anterior actuación. O espectáculo está basado na obra "Alicia no país das marabillas" do autor Lewis Carroll.

"Cando Alice queda durmida sen querer,  intérnase nun mundo máxico no que vai atopando diferentes e extravagantes personaxes... (Coellos Brancos, o máis aloucado sos Sombrereiros Tolos, unha raíña de Corazóns que está sempre furiosa..) Ao longo da súa viaxe polo país marabilloso aprende moitas cousas sobre as tradicións do mundo anglosaxón: Halloween, San Valentín, o Nadal, San Patricio... Mais, chegará Alicia a tempo para o té? Só se o público a axuda". (sinopse na páxina web da compañía teatral)

Pasámolo fenomenal!:

HANDS FOR PEACE

On PEACE DAY we made a mural. Each child drew and coloured a hand. On the hands they wrote positive messages, such as love, joy, friendship, solidarity...

SPINDERELLA BY BLUE MANGO THEATER

On the 21^st of January the 6th grade class went on a fieldtrip to see the play ¨Spinderella¨. The play was based on the story of Cinderella but with a modern day twist. In the play the main character, Cindy, wants to go to a karaoke party but has too many chores that she must do. However, with some help from a magical friend she is able to get her chores done in time and attend the karaoke party. In the end she beats her evil step-sister and is crowned the winner of the karoake party singing competition. 

The play was in English and was interactive so the students were involved.  There were call and response portions of the play and songs to sing along with.  

The play was very sweet and the students enjoyed themselfs! 

Cindy siempre ha querido ser una estrella del pop, pero el único momento en que puede cantar es cuando está cocinando y limpiando para su horrible hermana mayor, Becky. Cuando el hada madrina de Cindy, “La Reina del Karaoke”, la lleva a un concurso de canto, parece que sus sueños van a hacerse realidad; esto, si su hermana Becky no lo impide.

Esta emocionante comedia es una moderna versión del clásico cuento de hadas ‘La Cenicienta’. El show incluye temas como la buena alimentación, el vivir activamente y perseguir nuestros sueños.

You can hear the songs:  "THE CLEANING SONG" 
 

"GIVE ME FIVE"

At 12 o’clock I have to dust the house                  At 2 o’clock I have to clean the plates
Dust, dust, dust.                                                      Then I do it all over again.

Don’t you wanna sing your song?                         Don’t you wanna sing your song?

Sing and sing it all night long                                Sing and sing it all night long
