SCARY STORIES AND OTHER HALLOWEENIE TEXTS

We know Halloween is over, but writing and editing texts takes time and so does collecting, scanning and posting them. Anyway, here are some spooky and otherwise halloweenie texts by our students. 

Vampire’s Halloween

During the holidays, I was sleeping during the daytime and when Halloween night came, I went trick-or-treating. The people said that I had a realistic costume. I forgot to take on my costume that night. I went to eat at a luxurious restaurant. The blood was tasty but expensive. Now you know how I spent my holidays. For me, every day is a holiday.

THE NIGHT OF THE WITCHES

               -Mario and Abdul-

It was a Halloween night, but also Marta’s birthday! Marta was

sleeping and it was the middle night. And suddenly, a bad witch

in a pigeon costume, came into Marta’s room. Marta was

terrified and she screamed, “help! Help! Help!”.

The pigeon eyes turned red, and the pigeon took Marta

to a strange place, flying. While they were flying, the pigeon

turned into a witch! The witch had legs of a camel, hair of a

horse, the arms of an eagle and the body of a human.

It’s scream funny, but it is so scary! They arrived at the

strange place. It was a haunted house with ghost name

was Pepito. The witch threw Marta into pumpkin soup and

Marta was screaming in pain, and suddenly she heard a

familiar noise, someone saying “Happy birthday!” and she

woke up.

                              AND IT WAS A DREAM!

HOW CAN WE SAVE THE PLANET?

For over a month now our 6th graders have been asking themselves this question. We've focused on plastic pollution and what we should and shouldn't do to avoid it. Here is an idea by our student Abdul Ghafar. More to come soon...

What can we make by recycling things?

Today I am going to explain What Can We Make By Recycling things. 

As we're learning about recycling, waste, saving water…

I had an idea, why not make a blog about what can we make by recycling?

PIGGY BANK 

What You’ll need:

• Empty and cleaned water bottle 

• Pink craft paint

• Construction paper

• Black marker

• Tape or glue

• Scissors

Step 1: Paint your entire bottle using the pink craft paint and foam paint brush.

Let it dry completely before moving onto the

next step!

Step 2: cut a rectangle in the top of the bottle. This will be used to insert coins or small treasures into the piggy bank (see above photo).

Step 3: Use the construction paper to cut out ears, legs and a curly tail for your pig. Use the marker to draw details onto the limbs (see above photo), as well as eyes on the bottle. Cover the water bottle lid with construction paper and draw two lines for the pig’s nose.

Step 4: Use tape or glue to attach the pig’s limbs to the bottle.

Now start adding coins to the piggy!   

PENFRIENDS' LETTERS; AT LAST!!!!

 We received the first letters from our Italian penfriends! At last!

So much reading! So much excitement and sharing! It is a great project!!

DIGITAL MAGAZINE PROJECTS

We'd like to present these digital magazines that are the result of a long-term project the 6th grade students do in the "Let's Write" class. 

While half the class is doing "Let's Speak" with Mandy, our language assistant, the other half is doing "Let's Write" with their English teacher. Groups swap at about halfway through the school year. Here are some videos showing the first groups' writing efforts. 

Let's write project: Writing and designing a magazine

 

Here is the result of some weeks of hard work in the Let's write sessions. 6th grade students have been designing and writing a magazine in pairs. Here are a few of them. 

Designing posters

Our fifth graders have been learning about rules and ways to express obligation in English. To apply this knowledge they have designed posters about rules for different subjects and even  some for Carnival. 

You can see some of them below.

6B: This is us! This is our school!

After exchanging letters with our Italian penfriends for  some months we really wanted to see each other's faces. So we recorded some videos introducing ourselves and also showing them our school. 

Here they are:

Christmas cards, from Italy

The 6th grade students received some very nice Christmas cards from their Italian penpals yesterday. We have been exchanging letters with this Italian school near Trento. Real writing to real people is the best motivation. Check out the children's reaction. 

Els alumnes de 6è van rebre postals de Nadal dels seus "penpals" italians ahir. Hem estat intercanviant cartes amb una escola italiana propera a Trento. Podeu clicar l'enllaç per accedir a la seva web. El més motivador per a aprendre a escriure és tenir lectors reals. Fixeu-vos en la reacció quan van rebre la notícia.
