INTAP-BIOTALLER

Last Thursday we had the chance of visiting Intap Biotaller in Lurin. In this place we could learn a little more about animals and plants.

We learn about the habitats and diet of some farm animals. We were amazed of seeing, touching and feeding  horses, goats, sheeps, rabbits and ducklings. It was a wonderful feeling.

We also had a great time mixing the soil and decorating our pots for a new plant. We really learnt a lot in the Biotaller.

Here you can enjoy some photos from that day!
With love

SPRING FESTIVAL: CHANT CONTEST

Hey raccoons!

This Spring Festival will come with lots of surprises and one of them is the "Chant Contest". Do you know what a chant is? 

"A chant is a rhythmic group recitation."

So, you have to remember that it is not singing, it is reciting the words using a special rhythm. In this opportunity our class will participate with the chant "Do your ears hang low?".

In this video you can hear the song version in which you can learn the lyrics. Remember that in class we will select the top five students reciting the chant. Let's get ready for our chant contest!

Good luck raccoons!

SOCIAL STUDIES: HOME SAFETY

This week we have learnt about home safety and hazardous object in Social Studies class.

Hazardous objects are all around our homes, and as curious children you need to know that not all objects you find are designed for kids. Some of the objects we have talked about are:

Iron

Outlet

Lighter

Scissors

Matches

Cleaning products

We also watched a very funny educative video called "Every Dog's Guide to complete Home Safety". We laughed a lot watching it. but the most important thing is that we enjoyed at the same time we learnt about hazardous objects. Then, we could talk about our own experiences.

Here you can watch it again and talk about home safety with your parents. Enjoy!

SOLIDARITY WEEK

This week we had so much fun collecting money for the CAS group which is a student association that helps people in need. In this opportunity we had three special days.


 On Wednesday we had Superhero's Day! In this day we dressed up as our favourite superhero. At raccoons' class we came across with Wonder Woman, Ironman, Catwoman, Batman, Spiderman and even a Japanese Ninja. Everyone enjoyed a lot this day!


 On Thursday we were Famous People! Some of the wonderful customs in our classroom were the ones of Neil Amstrong, St. George, Gene Simmons, Woody, Hanna Montana, etc.



Last but not least, on Friday, we had our Pijama's Day. We had the great experience of making a mini campsite in the playground. Everyone was so excited to see their friends in their favourite pijama. So cute!

MATHS: LESS THAN AND GREATER THAN

This term we are working really hard in Maths.

We are learning how to differenciate groups of items using the symbols < , > and = .
A very funny way to learn this is by using our pacman friends who have mouths just like the symbols we need to use. At home you can also use other characters like crocodiles or birds. It is very easy, take a look...

The crocodile eats the group that has more apples.

Now, let's see how well we are working...

Great job raccoons, keep up the good work!!

MIS PRIMERAS PALABRAS

¡Todos estamos muy emocionados! Estas semanas estamos trabajando con sílabas y con ello algunos ya están formando sus primeras palabras. Como jugando estamos descubriendo el mágico mundo de las letras, y nos encanta.

Este bimestre hemos aprendido dos nuevas letras, la "s" y la "t" con las cuales ya podemos formar palabras como "mesa", "pato", "pomo", "tapa".

¡Qué divertido es todo esto! Aquí comparto con ustedes algunas fotos de nuestras clases de Español.
Los quiero mucho

MR. GRASS: END OF PROJECT

This week we could see how much our Mr. Grass Heads grew.

After we made them, we took care of them by letting the light come into the classroom and by watering them. After a week we found out something amazing!
This is great!!!! some of you said.
Oh! My God! said others.
And of course, this was a really wonderful surprise. They were all green, and really funny too. They really did grow! What a great experience!

Good work raccoons!
