Hip-Hop Poetry Sessions

Fernando de los Rios Cultural Center

These are the pictures from the day. The children had a good time singing and listening to famous works of poetry of Espronceda and Góngora in rap and reggae songs.

I think it was important for them to see that poetry can come in many different forms.

It was a great experience!

Canoeing at Juan Carlos I Park

The children had an opportunity to go canoeing (piragüismo). The trip was very exciting for them, since some of the students had never heard of this type of sport. One of the key factors in learning to canoe is to be very coordinated as a group in every stroke with the paddle. Group effort is very important in order to make the canoe move in the direction you want to go. The instructors at the park allowed them wander through the water reservoir to learn how to maneuver the canoe and afterwards they raced against each other. They had an amazing time and they really enjoyed themselves. See for yourself!

Atocha Renfe Train Station

This week, the students took a trip to the Atocha Renfe Train Station, where they learnt about the practical aspects of public transportation, and, hopefully, gained a measure of confidence and independence. We in Madrid are lucky to have one of the better train systems in the world, and I want the students to be able to take full advantage of it as they grow older.

Love,

Bea

Trips: Casa de Campo - February

I try to take the children on local field trips every once in a while. Through these trips, I promote camaraderie and try to give the kids a break from school work. Parents should be very proud of them because they work so hard in my class!
