Bicycle Riding Day at the Polideportivo

The class had an opportunity to visit our local sportscenter in Aluche. They had the opportunity to ride their bicycles and learn about proper bicycle usage in the street. They enjoyed themselves a lot and learned many new things.

Here are the pictures!

A Very Special Visitor

We were very fortunate to be visited last week by one of the teachers from Celorio´s Immersion Camp. It was Aiofe! The children had a great time talking and speaking to her. They were very surprised by her visit.

Thank you for coming to our classroom, Aiofe!

Love,

Bea

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!

Love,

Celorio's Letters

About two weeks ago, I asked the children to write letters to the teachers in Celorio. Some of the letters were very creative and fun to read. I mailed the letters and the teachers emailed back thanking the children for the marvelous letters with the following photograph:

Apparently, lovely Aiofe received many letters and Joe was not very happy. :0 Just kidding!

The teachers had a great time reading them and decided to do the same for the children. This past week we received all the wonderful letters from them.

Love,

Bea

Microfilm Project 2011

This year the Comunidad de Madrid decided to make a microfilm competition among the 5th year bilingual students in the whole Madrid Community. The choice of topic was up to each individual school and the video had to be no longer than 2 minutes. Through a lot of hours of brainstorming and practicing, we finally made our video. It took us one and a half days to film. Our video is about a news channel that receives breaking news of a school that is completely frozen and no one seems to know why this has happened. At the end of the video one of the students discovers how to make the class come back to normal.

The children had so much fun making this video and for them it was a very positive experience. I want to thank all of them for their hardwork and all the effort they put into making this video.

I am very proud of them! :)

Love,

Bea

Bea's Kids: Our New Blog!

Welcome to our Blog!

I am starting this project as a way for my students and parents to be more connected with what we do at school. One of my goals is for both students and parents to have a space where they can share and talk about the different experiences and/or activities done inside and outside the classroom. At the same time, my intention is for parents to have access to pictures, videos, and information about their children’s activities throughout the year.

It is a pleasure to begin this project, and I hope that you enjoy it.

Sincerely,

Bea
