Growing up at school

Since we are children, school constitutes an important part of our life. We spend long hours there every day and it is at school where we start to socialize. It is at school where we acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to become responsible citizens ready to make a valuable contribution to a just society But … are all schools exactly the same? Watch the videos to see how different they can be. 

The bare necessities

“Not what we have but what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.”

In your shoes

"In your shoes" is the title of the eTwinning project we are about to launch. We will be working in collaboration with our dear friends from the French school Le Grand Champ in Pont-de-Chèruy with the main objective of trying to see a bit further than the end of our nose. Kindness, sympathy, generosity and tolerance are our goals. Hard or easy, how does it feel to be in someone else's shoes?"

Let's start by singing along Sarah Mclachlan

 

Happy ...

 ... to be back with all of you. Let's celebrate singing along ...

There are always good reasons to feel happy. What are yours today?

And now, with a choreography. Fitness will help you feel even happier. Clap along!

" If you don't believe me now, ..."

What about some relaxing singing for the weekend? Let's sing along with the song that Rocío Galán suggested. There are a couple of verses that are not that easy. If you can do it, you'll have a  prize! Give it a try!

Sharing feelings by sharing songs

Previously in the year we learned that singing in a choir had clear benefits for mental health, so I hope you agree that it's a great idea to include some singing in our weekly programme and share the songs we like best.
Last Fridray we started the series with a song chosen by Paula (3º A) which all of us enjoyed: You can count on me by Bruno Mars.

Which one will be next? Submit a comment here to suggest one of your choice saying why you like it, what memories it brings to your mind or why you want to share it. It's nice to put little pieces of ourselves into words, isn't it?

Don't get stuck in your past!
