ART T C E J PRO Judy Chicago, born in Chicago in 1939, is an artist, educator and American writer who began to draw at 3 years and decided to devote herself to art when she was only 5. In the 70’s she designed her great project, “The Dinner Party”, recreating an imaginary dinner for famous women. It was formed by an equilateral triangle with 39 place settings, dedicated to distinguished women. It has inspired our little Infant education artists in our Food Project “Colorful tastes”.

M U E S U M E AT TH I5A had a workshop at the Reina Sofia Museum. We played with different objects and admired three masterpieces which had the same objects we had been playing with! Learning through play.
AT THE ZOO
Last week the I5 classes had a school excursion to the Madrid zoo. We have learnt in class about the human body and what we eat. On this visit children saw first-hand what the eating habits of many different animals are. We saw sea lions, they eat meat and are called carnivores. There were deer that only eat grass and they are called herbivores. And bears eat both meat and vegetables and are known as omnivores. There were many species of animals at the zoo but dolphins were the stars of the day.

On the first days of September we had in IA the presentation for the House Competition Project. Four houses are competing for a dream! WATER, FIRE, AIR and LAND. Every student belongs to a house, which has got two captains who are in charge of their house. The goal is to get as many points as you can for your house. What do we have to do to get points? Behave properly, work hard, dress code, fellowship, take care of material, keep the playground clean, eat your food, be polite. At the end of every month, we will count the points, and the winner house will get a special price. Remember: if you don’t follow the rules, you will get black points for your house! Are you ready? On your marks, Get set, Go!

SMO THIE S Our theme in Unit:1 was “Let’s eat”. 4º EPO made delicious smoothies made out of fruit and milk. All the groups came up with original names. IA students had a great time making and tasting them!

OUR CLOTHES Since we are talking about clothing in Unit:1. IA students decided to bring in the type of clothes that they normally wear on the weekend. For the class presentation each student had to describe what type of clothes they were wearing. 5ยบEpo really enjoyed themselves and they even did a cat walk at the end of the presentation. Ms Chris & Ms Simona

T-SHIRT DYEING Since we were working with clothes and materials in Unit:1, 5ยบEPO had the great idea to dye t-shirts! In the beginning the process was quite easy until we decided to mix colors. The final result turned out brilliant and our students had a wonderful time.

KAREN’S NEWS After learning in unit 1 how volcanoes and earthquakes are formed due to the tectonic plate’s movements, 6º EP developed a project to express all they had learned about the topic. One of the 6º grade students made with foam rubber the different layers of the Earth (crust, mantle, core…) as part of her project to show the class why the tectonic plates move. The link for the video is available in the school webpage.

CONVIVENCIA Durante el pasado fin de semana los alumnos de 4º de primaria, que se están preparando para su Primera Comunión, han tenido la oportunidad de disfrutar de una convivencia. Han pasado parte del fin de semana en la casa “El Colladito” en Miraflores del Sierra y allí han trabajado intensamente sobre aspectos fundamentales de la Comunión, pero sobre todo han aprendido a conocer a los demás y a conocerse más a sí mismos. La experiencia ha sido maravillosa en todos sus sentidos: nos hemos reído muchísimo, hemos llorado, hemos aprendido, hemos rezado, pero sobre todo hemos conseguido hacer entre todos un fin de semana inolvidable.

TAG-RUGBY EN IA El tag-rugby se presenta dentro del bloque de contenidos de Juegos y Deportes y en estrecha relación con el de condición física y salud. Se trata de una nueva modalidad deportiva cuya lógica interna reúne un conjunto de rasgos que la hacen interesante para ser considerada como una opción más dentro de los contenidos de Educación Física, relacionados con la iniciación a los deportes colectivos: cooperación/oposición de espacio común y participación simultánea(deportes de invasión). El origen del tag-rugby se remonta a los diez últimos años debido a la creciente demanda por parte de la sociedad actual de realizar actividad física. Es un nuevo concepto de rugby, sin el contacto físico. Los jugadores llevan un cinturón o pantalones cortos de "tag rugby" y pegadas a ambos lados, con velcro, cuelgan dos cintas. Consta de un equipo de 12 jugadores con 7 en el campo. Cuando el equipo defensor (sin el balón) quita la cinta a un jugador del equipo atacante (con el balón), esto se considera un placaje. Es un deporte rápido de habilidad, que se puede practicar tanto de forma amistosa como a nivel de competición.
