FREQUENCY ADVERBS

Our 6th graders are studying frequency adverbs at the moment. To help them understand the concept a little better here is a great video from youtube:

FREQUENCY ADVERBS

The Haunted Castle - Reader's Theatre

This year, our 6th graders are working with a methodology called Reader's Theatre which is a great way to learn and have fun at the same time. By using the same script repeatedly, students improve their reading and oral skills, practising intonation and pronunciation. 

Our first contact with the methodology was a short play called The Haunted Castle (taken from the website http://missgbrown.weebly.com) which we adapted to our own needs. The boys and girls had great fun acting out their different parts and, although we were not going to present the play in front of other students, we decided that a Halloween reading for 5th grade would be interesting. 

In reader's theatre, children don't have to memorise their lines so they have the security of the script. It's important for them to add gestures and voice intonation. 

As a first try, the experience was positive, so much so that the boys and girls want to prepare a Christmas play to present to the youngest kids in our school. Watch this space!

Halloween 2018

This year, the English teachers, Xesca, Joana and Angie, along with the help of our conversation assistant, Claire, decided to decorate the hallways of the school for Halloween.

From the youngest kids, right up to the eldest, different forms of arts and crafts were created to give a "Halloweeny" feeling to the school. The kids were delighted with the outcome. Times are changing and Halloween is becoming more important in Majorca, so we like to go where our kids take us!!
