CIRUELO CABRAL IN 2nd of Primary level!

 

Recently, in art class we have learnt lot of things about an interesenting artist called

 CIRUELO CABRAL.

 

One of the activities we've made has been about the "petropictos".

 

A petropicto is a picture on a Stone or rock. Children have brought their stones and have designed amazing pictures on them.

















Here are the results! They are amazing! Aren't they? and the most important: WE HAVE ENJOYED A LOT!

YAYOI KUSAMA IN OUR ART CLASS!

In 1st of Primary Level we have learnt a lot about Yayoi Kusama!

Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese artist affected by a mental illness called schizophrenia.

That is why her art shows the obsession in art.

This obsession is represented by the famous "polka dots". Lots of colouful dots are shown in her paintings and sculptures.

 
 



One of her favourite elements are the PUMPKINS .










We have been Little Yayoi Kusamas in art class and we have made amazing pumpkins full of polka dots.

The corridor is decorated with these colourful pumpkins.

It is really nice, isn't it?

THANKSGIVING WITH BRENDAN AND LAUREN! AMAZING!

Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday celebrated in different countries and on different days depending on the country, for instance: in Canada it is in october, in the United States in November, in Ireland it is in August and in Britain in September.

It is also celebrated in so many ways ( with a big dinner, bringing food baskets for people in the comunity,...)

It was originally celebrated as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year.

Yesterday, our conversation assistants (Lauren and Brendan) celebrated it with their "families".




Look at the photos! they seem really happy, don't they?

THE MELTED CLOCKS OF DALI

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 In 2nd of Primary level, children have coloured different kind of clocks! Did you know that there are hundreds of different clocks all around the world?



We have learnt that one of the most famous element of Dali was the melted clock and we have represented it with an autumn tree.

Look! the leaves are the melted clocks! Isn't it creative?

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE STORYTELLING

Dear families,
we would like to share with you this image that shows how important is the storytelling for our children, above all in early ages.
That is why we tend to work with this resource in English class and also why this years we have started a new activity about storytelling in 1st and 2nd of Primary level with our conversation assistants: Lauren and Brendan.














Hope you like it!
