BLOCKS CENTER:

These are some of the awesome things the kiddos are building in the blocks center.

If you do not have a grim rainbow in class you should get one:















We also love our building blocks:






MEDIEVAL ART: BLOCKS AND PAPER


These kids are amazing, the way they see things, the way they create, they impress me more and more each day. What i am still trying to understand is if they are so happy playing with blocks in class why do they continue playing with computers, phones and tablets at home? Anyways....

Here you have two castles:

 paper shields and castles,
   a medieval town, two ladies in crowns and paper shield and armour
 a princess cape, knights in armour and helmet with their swords.



a closer look at the helmet
and a castle
 more helmets and armours plus an enourmous sword.

SPACE ADVENTURE: A SECOND TERM PROJECT IN 5.






 space adventure





During this term we will be working on the Space, Astronauts and Planets. Kids are excited and learning millions of things.

My spanish cotutor and I decided to split the project in two main themes: Planets and Astronauts. Kids will be investigating Planets in Spanish and discovering things about astronauts in English.



We started by saying things we knew about the space, things we wanted to know about astronauts and drawing astronauts and the universe. At the end of the project we will draw the universe and the astronauts again to see how the things we have learn help us improve our drawings adding more detail to them.  



look at some of our drawings: pretty accurate right? 




Things we want to know about astronauts:
Kids brough books, toys, drawings and information about the space to create our project table:


We watched lots of videos to learn about how the astronauts live in the International Space Station and about their Spacesuits.
