THE EGYPTIAN HOME

Timmy likes Egypt so much he is staying for a long holiday.

Along this topic we ask kids to draw their own home as they can see it from the street.

Then we want them to draw the inside of a given Egyptian family's house.

This story is a nice way to learn to say the rooms of a house and name some items of furniture.

Let's see Peppa's house and its furniture.

STONEHENGE

World Heritage Site.

Along this secod term we´re tackling with the New Stone Age.

We are getting to know this unique prehistoric monument located in Wiltshire, England.

It´s the remains of a ring of massive standing stones.

It was built from 3000 BC to 2000 BC.

It is a complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age.

There´re so many theories on this megalitic site :

burial ground, solar temple,temple of the death and place for ceremonies.

Lascaux caves.

We´ve used this video as an inspiration towards their own recreations.

We're pretty sure you´ll enjoy them so much.

Please have a look !

Our dear first grade kids drew their families and pets on the cave´s walls.

As you can realise they did it with plenty of pleasure.

We really had unforgetable moments dealing with this stuff.

They surprised me when I saw some relatives´ names above or bellow their pictures.

They´re improving very fast their language skills with the support of their English teachers.

Scaffolding this sort of vocabulary we started singing along a catchy Family Song named " My Family and Me "

From Tiranosaurius Rex to Napoleon,the tribe has helped the biggest and the worst of villains.

For the fast approaching Peace Day, January 30th, Tara and I have been speaking with the children about
What builds peace?
How do we acquire peace?
and the opposite,
What breaks peace up?
How do we lose peace?

5th & 6th graders have brainstormed concepts and ideas resulting in a lovely display of
Peacebuilders:
kindness, collaboration, hugs, respect, friendship, truth, sharing, patience, caring, smiles and friendship
and Peacebreakers:
selfishness, bullying, racism, rudeness, fear, ignoring others, killing, lying, violence and rejection

Meanwhile, 1st & 2nd graders continue enjoying class with their best friends and have completed their Peace Day badges, odorned with the symbol of a white dove.

Here are some photos of our fun class!
