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!!

OP ART - our new art project

In grade 6, we've just discovered an artist called Bridget Riley. She's been painting for many years but her paintings are special because they form part of the OP ART movement. OP ART deals with optical illusions, which means that we have to work hard with our eyes to see things that are not really there, or that are there but hidden away!

We had great fun discovering this type of art... and now, we're creating our own work! You'll soon be able to see it here... keep your EYES open for our very own Montaura OP ART!!!

Lapbooks in English and Art

To start off the new course year, we need to revise vocabulary and structures done before. What better way to do this than to make a lapbook "All about me!"
Students have been collecting information about themselves and creating their very own soource of information.
We'll let you see the finished results soon!

Year 2 - The house

House parts and actions from Patricio Otero

In year 2 we are learning about the different rooms in the house and what we usually do there. 

Games in class Year 1

Last week we were able to play in the playground because the weather was great! This week we haven't been as lucky, but we still managed to have a great time playing games, practising new vocabulary and revising vocabulary we already knew!

What is he wearing? What is she wearing?

The boys and girls of year 3 are almost ready to present their own fashion show with the clothes vocabulary they have been learning these past weeks.
On Wednesday, we practised by walking around the class and getting someone to describe the clothes we were wearing on that day. It was a bit embarassing, but good fun!!
