SPRING TIME

   Children of 3rd and 4th level developed their imagination creating a spring mural. They used different materials and techniques: collage, plasticine, paint... Do you like it?

MUM'S DAY

For this special day we made a cloth doll. We used cloth of different colors, wool, glue and a bow. We also used a wrapping paper to make the packet and decorated a card. These were the results...

PICTURE FRAMES

These past two weeks in art class, we made picture frames using recycled materials.

We used styrofoam trays from home to create the frame. The children drew a shape to create the space for the photo, such as circles, hearts and animals. Then, the frames were decorated with different recycled materials like noodles, buttons, straws and confetti. We also used paint, ribbon and sparkles. The frames turned out beautifully and are ready to hold a picture!

If you have a photo at home without a frame, you can use tape or glue to place the photo in the frame as you like.

MACHÉ PAPER MASKS

Children of 3rd and 4th level made carnival masks during the Art lessons. All we need is:

- A plastic mask.

-Aluminium paper.

-Newspaper.

-Water and glue.

-Paint and a paintbrush.

Process:

   

First of all, you have to cover the plastic mask with aluminium paper. Then, you have to stick small pieces of newspaper (with a mixture of glue and water). When it dries, separate it from the plastic mask and finally, paint it. The results are fantastic!!!

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

For Peace Day, children of 3rd and 4th level made a pin of the "dove of peace" during the Art lesson. 

And they also sang this beautiful song of Louis Armstrong, ilustrated with their own pictures.

 

 

 

E-TWINNING: EXCHANGING CHRISTMAS CARDS

   Our students of 5th and 6th levels participated in a European project of exchanging Christmas cards with other schools from Scotland, England, Romania, Poland, Greece and Italy. The experience was fantastic.

Here are ours

We also created a PowerPoint presentation to share Galicia's Christmas traditions with the other cultures:

AMERICAN APPLE PIE

In the United States, it is a tradition to eat apple pie. Erica brought her family's recipe for us to bake at school! With 3rd and 4th level, we organized a cooking workshop in the dining room with the help of Crisitina and Juan.

We needed flour, sugar, brown sugar, butter, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and of course...lots of apples! The children peeled and cut the apples and mixed the ingredients.
