We have our first European Quality Label.Many thanks to Brigida Clemente (Italy) and Theophanis Kapsomanis (Greece), our partners in Europe, to make this possible.A rewarding and exciting  experience for both teachers and pupils.

The Quality Label is concrete recognition to teachers and schools of the high level of their eTwinning activities. For pupils, this offers a boost to their work efforts, and for the school in general, a public affirmation of their commitment to quality and openness in European collaborative work. The National Support Service (NSS) in each country evaluates applications  and grants the national Quality Label.

  Good job kids!!!

 Toys to foster culture, our project!

Toys are tools to play, learn and socialize. They are always present in our lives and are linked to special and memorable moments. Toys have quite a story to tell us.

This project aims to listen to these stories while taking an insight in art, music, literature and Christmas.

 

This is our first experience meeting art and technology.People visiting our exhibition can use their phone to scan  the QR codes and listen to our little artists. They tell us who they are and what's their favourite toy, the same they have painted.

 

 

Our favourite toy is the tittle for the project we have been running this term.It is not just a work on English it has been much more;  a great experience that has allowed us to understand what means to work in a team, to collaborate ... 

El paso de la Etapa de Infantil a la de Primaria, junto con el amplio horario en inglés del programa Bilingüe crean, en un momento inicial, una barrera emocional y también lingüística que dificulta la participación, la motivación y el aprendizaje. Este proyecto trata de derribar esta barrera y fomentar la confianza de los niños y su interés en la lengua inglesa.

Our project to read

Our project to listen.

We have just started a new and real unit " Where 's the ball? " First graders , both of them, have no idea of where is the football. Lack of interest! Who was the responsible for bringing back the ball in each class? How are we going to find a solution? Are the football on the garden next to our playground? ...While we solve our little problems we can watch this video.

The most popular toys in our classroom are the  contructions. For that reason, I think we should ask Santa for this one. This is what I have read in the  official page of Goldie Blox.

In a world where men largely outnumber women in science, technology, engineering and math, girls lose interest in these subjects as early as age 8. Construction toys develop an early interest in these subjects, but for over a hundred years, they've been considered "boys' toys.” GoldieBlox is determined to change the equation. We aim to disrupt the pink aisle and inspire the future generation of female engineers.

Our toys project is almost ready, we will record the last version next week. You are doing great, just relax and for those who want to polish their part I upload all the different tests and, once you locate yours , take note of the number it appears on the screen  ( time) to locate it,  in a very easy way, whenever you want to listen to again.
