Experiència compartida. Així treballem als centres: Escola Espai 3 (Sant Joan Despí)

Som de l’escola Espai 3, de Sant Joan Despí. Aquest curs hem tingut la sort de comptar des de l'inici de curs amb dues Language Assistants: la Laura Barenblit, que ha estat ajudant el cicle inicial, i la Montse Figuera, que ha treballat al cicle superior. 

 
A la nostra escola tenim un calendari de celebracions de festes angleses distribuïdes per nivells al llarg de tota l’educació infantil i l'educació primària: Halloween, Bonfire, Thanksgiven, Christmas, Carnival, April Fool’s Day, Pancake Day, Saint Patrick, Saint Valentine, Easter i Saint George. La primera festa en què les LA van participar va ser la Halloween Parade, amb els alumnes de 3r, i l'última que hem celebrat, la  setmana abans de Pasqua, amb els alumnes de 1r, va ser la festa de EASTER. 

Aquest any hem treballat cançons, crafts i el vocabulari necessari per participar en la Easter Hunt. S’ha revisat el vocabulari de colors i números i les estructures bàsiques (happy Easter, basket, chocolate, yummy, red, yellow, green, blue, purple… one, two, three, four…..nineteen, twenty, can you help me..? let’s hide and seek, look for the eggs, under the seat, on the tree, in the basket, let’s find out…, let’s count them, let’s share them and eat them…).  

Les dues LA vam participar amagant els ous de Pasqua per tot el pati, van donar a l'alumnat les instruccions necessàries per a l'activitat i la van dinamitzar excel·lentment! 

HAPPY EASTER, Laura and Montse!

Experiència compartida. Així treballem als centres: escola Matilde Orduña (Esplugues de Llobregat)

Molly Mc Donaldson and Sophie Schroer are the language assistants this year at Matilde Orduña School. They help the teacher with the 3^rd grade children.

In the next text they explain what they are doing:

These past few months we have been working on different subjects. These different subjects include clothes, animals, the description of animals as well as their natural habitats, family members and food. We have studied these subjects using different methods. From the pupil’s book, the smart board and other electronic devices, reading stories to the students and then acting them out. We did class activities but also separated into smaller groups. On holidays or events we did separate activities from the normal class work. On Halloween we prepared a PowerPoint that included vocabulary specifically to do with Halloween. This PowerPoint also included games, word searches and coloring. The students enjoy these different activities and always participate well.

So, as they explain they prepared by their own the whole Halloween activities.

First they taught the children some words related to the festival. Then the children coloured a picture and finally they explained a scary story in which the pupils could recognize some of the words they have previously learnt.

It was a funny activity and the children got a lot of treats for doing well.

Here are the PowerPoint presentation they made and the recording of the activity at the school webpage.

CONGRATULATIONS!
