Halloween in Tarrío

Halloween was this past week and the students in Tarrío were working on a bunch of different activities!

In groups of four or five, the 6th graders were writing advertisements pretending that haunted houses were for sale. Then they created paintings of them to accompany the ads.

Meanwhile, the 5th graders got in the mood for Halloween by reading a story about a boy's adventures on a dark, dark night, then wrote and illustrated their own.

Here is the 5th A video.

And the 5th B one.

And last but not least, the 5th C video.

Finally, in arts and crafts class, students were cutting out pieces of felt, foam, wax paper, magazines, and other materials to look like sailboats, the last part of a sea-themed Xurxo Alonso painting they hadn't yet completed.

WE ALL LOVE TONGUE-TWISTERS

Hello my dear students! How's everybody? Today I have a hilarious proposal for you. I'm sure everybody knows tongue-twisters, these complicated, short sentences that make your tongue go wrong because of the similar sounds they have. Have a look at this video and see how complicated and FUN they are. Now, I dare you to do the same with some more simple ones: - Red lorry, yellow lorry. - I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice-cream. Dont't worry if you are not able to do it, it takes lot of practice!! Finally, I give you the solutions to the animal word search I posted yesterday.

Valentine's Day and more Arts & Crafts

This past month, students in Tarrío celebrated Valentine's Day by learning about customs in the U.S. and doing crafts! Activities were split by age group. While the 5th and 6th graders watched a presentation on how Valentine's Day is traditionally celebrated in America, the younger students worked on decorating cards for their friends and family. In Arts & Crafts class, students have been working on a variety of cool projects. The 3rd and 4th graders have been finishing up their Luis Seoane paintings, while the 5th and 6th graders were hard at work using a shading technique to color circles they had drawn. Each class has also been recreating paintings from a famous Galician painter. Pictured here is 6th C working on a Xurxo Alonso painting, but other painters include Urbano Lugrís and Luis Seoane.
