VERTICAL MARBLE RUNS WITH 3rd GRADERS

COLLABORATIVE WORK IN ARTS AND CRAFTS BY YEAR 3 CHILDREN

PLANE PAPERCRAFT WITH 4th GRADERS

In this collaborative activity, the fourth grade students made different models of paper aeroplanes in groups and then tested in the playground to see which model travelled the longest distance. 

Introduction to volume in Arts and Crafts

In Arts class the Primary 2 students have been building 3D
geometric shapes with play dough and sticks. 

They learned how to create volume with the prism, the pyramid and the cone.  

They really felt like architects. 

It seems easy but it has its difficulties, if you don't believe us, try it yourself!

SCOTTISH HIGHLAND GAMES

Primary 2 children have been taking part in the Highlands games as part of their PE subject.

They were divided into clans and each clan designed their own flag.

They took part in five games inspired by traditional Highland games, such as caber toss, hammer throw and races, competing against each other.

They had a great time on a wonderful sunny day (certainly quite different from the usual weather in the North of Scotland...).

COLLABORATIVE ART PROJECT IN 5TH GRADE. FINAL OUTCOMES

All the groups have done a wonderful job and we hope to be able to exhibit their work at school this term so that everybody can learn a little more about the art that we have enjoyed and learnt last term.

As you could see on this Blog last January, Primary 5 pupils have been doing a mini research project on different artists during the second term. They chose three artists they would like to research: Claude Monet, Vincent Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Diego Velázquez, Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso and Leonardo Da Vinci. Based on their choices, they got into groups to work.

Using the tablets, they entered the 5th Primary Arts Site, where, using videos and texts in both Spanish and English, they searched for information to answer their questions.

The result had to be put on a poster board, which had to contain the answers to the questions and at least one of the works of the artist they were working with. They gave the presentation in English to the whole class.

What struck them was that each one self-evaluated their work, results, effort and learning. In addition, they evaluated their peers in their presentation based on criteria that they knew from the beginning of the project.

But one of the things that the students have learnt the most in the project is to work and organise a team to obtain the expected results, because working in a team is much more difficult than working alone. And of course, to know and recognise works of Art, styles of painting, and that most of the artists' lives were full of strong emotions that they captured in their works.

St PATRICK´S DAY 2024

Last St Patrick's Day was on a Sunday, but the following week in school we learnt some facts and vocabulary about this Irish festivity and we also made a nice little craft. 

COLLABORATIVE ART PROJECT IN 5th GRADE

We have started a new project in the Arts lessons. We are going to work in teams, investigate about a famous artist and prepare a presentation about his/her life and works with tablets. We are excited about tablets! 

Velázquez, Miró, Monet, Frida Kahlo, Picasso... For now, all together, we have met Eva Armisén, an artist from Zaragoza with a great international career. We can see one of her works when we return by tram home, direction Valdespartera, have you found it yet? 

We will tell you the results...

ENGRAVING

Children from the 2nd Infant class show us the process of making prints and also a collaborative print with the school from Tallinn, Estonia called Lasteaed Pääsusilm.

Their flowers are perfect for our vase inspired by Muel pottery.

Primary 2 celebrating Thanksgiving

Primary 1 celebrating Thanksgiving

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, our young students embarked on a creative journey that beautifully captures the essence of gratitude. 

Transforming our simple trees into a colourful canvas, each leaf tells a tale of appreciation for family, friends, love and more.

I SEE, I EXPLORE, I CREATE

Our children in Year 2 Infant Education are starting their participation in this eTwinning project about Art and Artists. 

We started in October with the voting for the project logo and their favourite has been the winner.

They have also made these self-portraits in the style of Picasso to present themselves to children from schools in Portugal, Cyprus, Greece, Romania, Italy, Estonia, Turkey and Slovenia.

This is a promising start!

HALLOWEEN MASKS

Our little 5 years-old artists have been getting into the Halloween spirit in the days leading up to this year's Halloween festivities. They've been busy creating their own masks and the results are...

HALLOWEEN DOORS

 6th graders made these terrifying Halloween doors in Arts.

We want to know which one you like most.

All classes can vote for their favourite using a Google form. You have until next Friday.

SCARY MONSTER BAGS

In Primary 4 we have made these scary monster bags.

Only the bravest ones will dare to put their hand inside...

WHAT'S INSIDE?

SPOOKY DOLLS

The third graders have made these spooky dolls with plenty of costumes to choose.

Choose the one you like the most: skeleton, mummy, witch..., and go trick or treating on Halloween night,

                                                                                                   www.flaticon.com/free-stickers

The children of Primary 1 and 2 have made funny puppets about Halloween. They have decorated them and later they have been practising dialogues with their little monsters.

WARM AND COOL MONSTERS

Our 5th graders have used the concept of warm and cool colours to invent their own Monsters. They selected warm or cold colours to colour them. 

But the Monsters had to have a positive quality which had to be reflected in the drawing... They made a draft before making the final one. 

Now, we have a terrifying but wonderful exhibition in the hallway...

FUNNY SKELETONS

In Science the children in Primary 1 have been studying bones, muscles and joints through some very cool activities...
