Years 3 & 4

Hi everyone!

In 3rd and 4th of primary we have begun talking about Christmas. I have been telling the children about how I celebrate Christmas in Ireland with my family and about some of our traditions. We have had lots of fun comparing the similarities and differences between our celebrations. The children are especially interested in the Christmas food and how we decorate our houses!

Hola a tothom!

A 3r i 4t de primària hem començat a parlar del Nadal. He estat explicant als nanos com jo celebro aquesta festa a Irlanda amb la meva família, així com algunes de les nostres tradicions. Ho hem passat molt rebé comparant les semblances i diferències entre les nostres maneres de celebrar el Nadal. Els nens han estat especialment interessats en el menjar típic d'aquestes dates i en com decorem les nostres cases!

Years 3 & 4: Halloween

Hi everyone!

 

Last week we talked about Halloween in the English classes. We explained the origins of Halloween, its traditions and how it is celebrated today. In Ireland, people love to dress up for Halloween and to go to parties. We looked at pictures of typical Halloween things such as children dressed up in costumes, pumpkins, and bonfires. And after the presentation the children got to read and colour some fun Halloween worksheets!
 

Hola a tothom!

 

La setmana pasada vam parlar de Halloween a les classes d'anglès. Vam explicar els orígens d'aquesta festa, les seves tradicions i com se celebra avui dia. A Irlanda, a la gent li agrada disfressar-se per a l'ocasió i anar a festes. Vam mirar imatges típiques de Halloween, com canalla disfressada, carabasses, fogueres, etc. I, després de la presentació, els nens van llegir i pintar algunes fitxes de Halloween molt divertides!

Years 5 & 6: Halloween

Halloween came and went and we had fun!!

We learnt about how Halloween is celebrated in Ireland and where the tradition comes from. We found out that apples are associated with this celebration, so we brought some to school and brainstormed on what we could do with them.

We decided we wanted to play games and decorate the apples, so we worked on apple races instructions before going out to the playground to experience the thrill of a traditional Halloween game first hand!!

3rd & 4th Years

Hi everyone,

Last week, so that the children would get to know me better, I showed the groups in 3rd and 4th Year a presentation about myself and my family. We talked about my siblings, my pets, where I live in Ireland and what I like to do in my free time. I showed them pictures of my brother and sister, my two cats and the view from my house. Then, each class told me about their hobbies and interests. 

Hola a tothom,

La setmana passada, a fi que els nanos em coneguessin millor, vaig mostrar als grups-classe de 3r i 4t una presentació sobre mi i la meva família. Vam parlar dels meus germans, les meves mascotes, allà on visc a Irlanda, i el que m'agrada fer durant el meu temps lliure. Els vaig ensenyar fotografies del meu germà i la meva germana, dels meus dos gats, i de la vista que tinc des de casa meva. Després, els alumnes em van explicar les seves aficions i els seus interessos.

All Years

Hi everyone!

My name is Alana and I have just arrived in Catalunya from Ireland. This year I will be working as a conversation assistant in the school. I am very excited to help the children practice their English and to share my culture with them. The school community have been so welcoming since my arrival and I feel very comfortable here. I am so grateful to everyone for their hospitality. I hope that this year will be enjoyable for us all! I look forward to learning more about your culture and getting to know you all. 

This picture was taken after my arrival in the airport last Saturday (I´m on the left and I´m sure you recognise Eva on the right!).

 

Hola a tothom!

Sóc l'Alana i acabo d'arribar a Catalunya des d'Irlanda. Aquest curs treballaré com a auxiliar de conversa a l'escola. Estic molt il·lusionada per ajudar els nens i nenes a practicar el seu anglès i compartir amb ells la meva cultura. La comunitat escolar m'ha acollit molt bé des que vaig arribar, i em sento molt a gust aquí. Estic molt agraïda a tothom per la seva hospitalitat. Espero que tots plegats puguem gaudir d'aquest curs. Tinc ganes d'aprendre més sobre la vostra cultura i coneixe-us a tots.

Aquesta foto va ser feta després de la meva arribada a l'aeroport dissabte passat (jo sóc la de l'esquerra, i suposo que reconeixeu l'Eva a la dreta!). 

4th Year

Hi everyone!

In our Science session today, we've started working on the solar system. This is the song we're trying to understand, write and sing in order to learn the main characteristics of each planet.

See you around!

Hola a tothom!

A la classe de Science d'avui hem començat a treballar en el sistema solar. Aquesta és la cançó que estem intentant entendre, escriure i cantar a fi d'aprendre les principals característiques de cada planeta.

Ens veiem!

1st Year

The end of year is round the corner!! We are preparing the festival for the 21st of June... and we need your help with the songs we're going to sing. Below you will find:

1. The lyrics we need to memorize and sing
2. The dance

We are not including the last song, since the it is not in English and the performance is too long; it is also for this reason that we are only singing parts of three of the four songs we will dance.

Thank you for your help!

Flashmob El Rey León

Ja arribem al final de curs!! Estem preparant el festival del dia 21 de juny... i ens cal la vostra ajuda amb les cançons que hem de cantar. A dalt trobareu:

1. Les lletres de les cançons que hem de memoritzar i cantar
2. El ball

No inclourem la darrera cançó perquè no està en anglès i perquè l'actuació és massa llarga, motiu pel qual tampoc ho cantarem tot sinó només alguns extractes de tres de les quatre cançons que ballarem.

Gràcies per la vostra ajuda!
