Mr. Bucket

The father of two students of our school is a professional actor in the company: 

Last Wednesday we enjoyed a lot with his performance in our school. It all starts in a very simple way... Let me introduce you to Mr. Bucket... He seems very nice, but there is a problem, he refuses to act!




Our narrator, wants to tell us a story he has read, The Wizar of Oz. As Mr. Bucket does not want to act, he calls out for volunteer... No problem! Here they are:


Little by little, with the help of a few disguises that come out from Mr Bucket,  he turns children into actors!



Have a look at Aunty Emma!



He tells the students what they have to say and how they have to say it. 
Wonderful experience both for the "actors" and the audience.

Groups

Today, in Social Sciences class, with my second grade students, we have reflected on the groups to which we belong... We already belong to some of them when we are born. We join others...









Fold the paper



I share a very easy activity...
Students fold a paper in half. One of them draws a body and gives the paper to the partner to draw the head (without seeing the body). The results are very funny and generate a lot of expectation in children. 



A playful approach....

RASTRE-ARTE

This morning, some student of our school took part in a Scavenger Hunt (RASTRE-ARTE) 
 around our nieghborhoud to know the Urban Gallery. Wonderful experience.


One story, different endings

The students of the third grade were given a creative task. In pairs they were supposed to create their own story which begun with the given words: "One sunny day little Chris found a piece of paper with a ribbon. There was a castle and a map leading to it on the paper. The route to the castle went through different countries, each one was different, each one was beautiful..."
Children finished the story and took their little helper on the tip with them - Ozobot, a robot which they use during lessons. Everyone finished the task.

Here are some pictures:
