CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS

CHRISTMAS AT SCHOOL on PhotoPeach



A lively Christmas atmosphere at school... beautiful cards, ornaments, creative Christmas trees, all of them  made of trash. Children and teachers have been working a lot in different groups. We learnt  to create with recycling material. I hope you have enjoyed it.

Johnny Appleseed

The Giving Tree - Shel Silverstein



For my dear Nico... when he was a little baby he had apples in the afternoon... He ate them very slowly and asked me intelligent questions... and for my dear Esteban who always seemed interested in having a different snack....

AUTUMN SONG

The Leaves on the trees

The leaves on the trees turn orange and brown,
orange and brown, orange and brown.
The leaves on the trees turn orange and brown,
All through the town.

The leaves on the trees come swirling down,
swirling down, swirling down.
The leaves on the trees come swirling down.
All through the town.

The leaves on the ground go swish, swish, swish,
Swish, swish, swish.
The leaves on the ground go swish, swish, swish,
All through the town.

(Sung to: "The Wheels on the Bus")

"Lost and Found" by Johnny Flynn



All images are from the beautiful works by Oliver Jeffers. I knew his books when my dear Nico gave me his first present "HOW TO CATCH A STAR". A valuable gift for me.

If the World Were a Village: A Story About the World's People



This video is based on the book "If The World Were A Village". It is highly recomended to understand our global world.

...a book about the world's people



"At the moment, there are 6.7 billion people on the planet! It's hard to picture so many people at one time--but what if we imagine the whole world as a village of just 100 people?

In this village:
21 people speak a Chinese dialect
10 earn only about a dollar a day
13 cannot read or write
28 have a television in their homes
Only 34 always have enough to eat

If The World Were A Village tells us who we are, where we live, how fast we are growing, what languages we speak, what religions we practice and more. So come and learn about our global village. What you find may surprise you!"

I chose Bob Marley and his lively "Three little birds" as we sing and dance it at school.

READING IN ART



An exhibition about old books is taking place during this week at school. You can see the stories teachers, parents and grandparents read when they were young. A selection of beautiful paintings illustrates the different moments and places that people choose to read. You can watch some of them in this video. I hope you like it.

BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS



To celebrate Spring...

BLOWIN´ IN THE WIND

SCHOOL DAY OF PEACE

PAINT ME A POEM...

I´D LIKE TO SQUEEZE

I´d like to squeeze this round world into a new shape.
I´d like to squeeze this round world like a tube of toothpaste.
I´d like to squeeze this round world fair and square.
I´d like to squeeze it and squeeze it
till everybody had an equal share.

John Agard.

ACROSTIC FOR PEACE

P is for Purple and Pink
E is for Eyes and Ears
A is for Amber and Air
C is for Care and Calm
E is for Everybody and Everything

Mercedes Z.R.

This type of poems are very useful to work with little children as they can participate and make up different verses. It is an interesting and effective way of learning words and playing with the alphabet.
