School Closure Update 7 - JumpingDucks Live on Instagram

Hi dears,


I've received this lovely information by JumpingDucks. It is a Theatre company, they usually come to our school to perform.

---------------------------------------

Benvolguts,
Des de Jumping Ducks desitgem que malgrat les difícils circumstàncies l’aprenentatge no s’aturi i per aquest motiu hem pensat que ens encantaria oferir-vos els nostres tallers de teatre musical, en format online i de forma totalment gratuïta. Practicarem anglès, cantarem i ballarem, aprenent una senzilla coreografia de forma interactiva. Us animem a que participeu sols o bé en família, i a que compartiu aquesta activitat amb la vostra comunitat educativa, ja que serà una sessió  molt motivadora i que tothom pot fer al menjador o a la sala d’estar.

Gaudiu dels Tallers de Teatre Musical en anglès per aprendre i divertir-se alhora des de casa i en família amb @jumpingducks a Instagram

A més, podreu participar fent-nos preguntes i suggeriments, continuar perfeccionant el què heu après i enviar-nos els resultats i fer-vos un vídeo final. Us proposem les etiquetes: #AprenentACasa, #Claustrodeig, #JoActuo, #totanirabe, #joemquedoacasa...i evidentment @laVostraEscola!

Mestres, alumnes, mares i pares! Us esperem a tots al nostre instagram el proper Dijous 2 d’abril a les 11hs per a disfrutar plegats!

El vídeo serà gravat i us el podreu descarregar quan vulgueu!

La cançó serà Happy, de Pharrell Williams. Podeu preparar els materials aquí:

Hi dears,

How are you doing? Here's a website some of you may remember from school, we sometimes use it.

You can choose your level (choose your class level, and change to a lower or upper one if it's too difficult or too easy) and the type of activities you want to practice. Come on! Let's work!



And after some work there has to be some fun:
Hiho Kids Challenge not to move! 





School Closure Update 4 - Quarantine Theatre, anyone?

And to finish your day with some movement, here's a GoNoodle super cool dance to get you sweating! Banana Banana Meatball is one of our superhits! Remember you can ask your parents to register on GoNoodle to have all the videos #athometogether





School Closure Update 3. Let's draw!

Hi everyone! What about some drawing? Here you have two authors that are making videos to teach you their tricks. Click on these videos to go the playlists.
Enjoy, practice your English and improve your drawing. Be safe and happy!









School Closure Update 1 - Everything's gonna be alright!

Hi there children!

I hope you are well, I miss you so much!
I hope you are having a beautiful time with your family, because now, in these situations, we have to see the good things everywhere and being at home with your family is the best thing you can have. So, I hope you can enjoy it!
I didn't give you homework but there are many, many things you can do to improve your English and keep active, so in this post I'll give you some ideas with things to do. Keep reading to find more about games, activities and cool videos I found that I think maybe you'll like and can be useful.
On the other hand, it seems we won't have English Day on the date we had planned, but we may have it when we come back, so the first thing you can do is to practice the Sing for the Climate Dance. Now, now, now! It's a way to move, to keep moving, to be active, so... what else? It's good!
One last thing! Remember this is not homework, it's something optional, but if you are watching this you can share it with your classmates and maybe work online, do some activities together. Use the time, learn and enjoy...all at the same time. 
Nothing else. I hope to see you soon, keep safe, I love you 💓... and see you really soon 😘.

You can also look for the Onze de Setembre English channel on Youtube, where you can find the playlists we use in class, with videos related to the topics we work on.

Finally, some more ideas:

  • Remember to watch films, videos or cartoons in English, practice makes perfect!
  • Why don't you write letters or mails to your friends or family?
  • Do you like something very much? (An actor, a singer, a sport, an animal...) Write something about it! Or record yourself talking about it! Or write a comment here in English!

I hope this is useful, I'll come back soon with more resources.


Be safe and be happy 💕

Hi there kids!

We are getting ready for English Day! This year's topic is CLIMATE CHANGE, and we have titled it SING FOR THE CLIMATE.

Here's the song we are going to dance on English Day: DO IT NOW!/SING FOR THE CLIMATE





Here's a short video we've used to start thinking about other things we can do:




And finally here's the Youtube playlist we use in class with the song and some more information about the topic:

Special English guests from Bristol

Some days ago we had the visit of some students' cousins. They are twins ,they are 13 years old and they come from Bristol. They were very nice and answered our questions about the things they like, their routines and their opinions. It was a great afternoon and a wonderful way to improve our oral communication in English. Thank you!
