Christmas has come once more to make us feel cheerful and to surround us with its magic.
We have made many Christmas decorations and activities throughout December.
Our 6th graders, for instance, have manufactured some stars with toilet paper rolls and have painted them with felt-tip pens, paints and glitter to decorate their Christmas trees.
They have enjoyed a lot in this creative process !!
Here are some of their artworks. Merry Christmas !!
As every year our 5th and 6th graders have participated in the Contest organised by Bueu's Council authorities to celebrate the "No Violence against Women Day" with their artworks to express the need to raise public awareness against this deplorable attitude. We have exhibited their artworks in one of the school corridors. Some of them have received prizes and recognitions.
This year or students have celebrated Halloween with the traditional Pumpkin's Contest with many original pumpkin models made by our students and their families.
In Arts & Crafts they have also worked by creating nice artworks with witches, haunted houses, monsters, vampires, ghosts, Jack-o'Lantern, and all related figures.
Our 6th graders have made pumpkin baskets to be filled with candies to provide a sweet taste to this celebration.
"I believe in everything until it´s disproved. So I believe in
faries, the myths, dragons. It all exists even if it is only in your
mind. Who´s to say that dreams and nightmares aren´t as real as the here
and now." John Lennon
Last Friday 13th, students from years 4, 5 and 6 went to the Centro Social in Bueu to watch the play "MYTHS & LEGENDS GO WRONG"
Troy and Joy
are two students who are coming back to school on a Monday. They are good
friends and talk about their weekends. Troy quickly realizes that Joy has done
a school project that he was not aware of.
He begins to panic over the
project´s deadline. He convinces Jou to help him make his own project. Joy
agrees and describes the topic of the project: Myths and Legends.
Troy only
knows the legend of Finn McCool and decides to put him on every myth and
legend.
Let´s watch some videos recorded from the play.
"I´ve come to the conclusion that mythology is really a form of archaeologycal pshychology. Mytholoy gives you a sense of what people believes, what they fear."
Sam and Pam are two competing storytellers. Sam likes beautiful stories with princesses, palaces and nice dresses. Pam likes scary stories with action and monsters, At the beginning, they fight and try to impose their view of how the story should go. Pam starts telling the story of Red Riding Hood, She chooses this one because of the terrifying wolf. Sam has to act out the character of Red Riding Hood but he is not happy about how things are going so he takes Pam´s place and starts telling his favourite story of Cinderella. Neither of them is happy with the situation and they start arguing, They decide to compromise and put on a story combining beauty and beasts: The Beauty and The Beast.
