The butterfly, our totem!

In our class, we love butterflies! From Lucy's  presentation "Symetry" we had a very good understanding on this idea and, good fun drawing on the whiteboard.This animal is a good inspiration for addings more colour into our class. 

Have fun drawing butterflies!!!

Dental Health

Our workshop has been very interesting and was focus on promoting the benefits of good oral health to children. Good dental care is important to maintain healthy teeth, gums and tongue.

 And finally we watched a video!!!

Welcome Spring

The first day of Spring is in 2015 on March 20 (according to the astronomical definition). It is also called the spring quinox. Spring is one of the four temperate seasons, the transition period between winter and summer. Spring and "springtime" refer to the season, and broadly to ideas of rebirth, renewal and regrowth. 

Happy Father's Day

Today we celebrate Father's Day and also it's the day for our student José so. our best wishes for all of you.

While watching the video, can you write down the name of the different animals you can see?

How many did you get? 

Living and non-living things

I know how busy you must be on this Father's Day but just in case you wish to review some ideas for the coming exam I upload this for you.

And some games! 

And a song!!! 

Sparkling teeth

On Friday 20th we are going to attend a workshop on "Dental Health". For this activity we remind you to bring your "toothbrush", just this, no the paste.

El próximo viernes tendremos una clase sobre salud dental para la que vamos a necesitar que traigáis el cepillo de dientes.

Orange tulips reluctant to bloom

We all know that orange is the national color in The Netherlands ( after all, the King hails from the House of Orange ). There is a day, 27th April, when all you can see on the Dutch streets is the  orange color. Are our tulips waiting for that date to bloom? Our little gardeners are doing great so , what's going on with all our orange tulips?

 

Magic Math performance!

What happens in the classroom is affected by the teachers' thoughts about how mathematics should be taught as well as how they teach Mathematics. Taking into account the amazing results indians get in this area, it will be interesting to be aware of their methodology.

Indian Math laboratory with materials and resources made by teachers and students from recycled and sustainable material. They can be arranged so that they can be used for a variety of ages and knowledge.

 

Attitude

Currently, we are working on the animal's unit. This video teach us how important is attitude to avoid conflicts wherever ( home, playground, classroom...)

Monitoring tulip's progress

Plants colours our window boxes.We continue to closely monitor tulip's developments. In autumn we planted two different types of tulips: Passionale ( purple) and Prinses Irene (orange). To make the pots more beautiful we planted, in each pot,  one orange, one purple, one orange and one purple. 

Here we are with the present situation!!! Passionale tulips is all we can see!!!

Where is the orange one? Two purple together????

Managing pencils!

Kids, whenever you say "I can't find my pencil!" I would like to say " Don't worry, I have a lot". I can't say that but by understanding the importance of managing our supplies we can improve the present situation. I guess it is time for a Great Pencil Challenge! and for having our toys in order.

Walking in the jungle

Let's enjoy this virtual visit to the jungle. The weather is so nice that a visit to the zoo would be a great family activity for this unit.
