HAPPY HALLOWEEN


October 31st Halloween
Halloween is celebrated all over the world on October 31st therefore it is a good idea to explore it with our students.
Themed classes are a great opportunity to learn not only English language but other aspects of the English speaking culture.
Halloween es celebra a tot el món el 31 d'octubre, per tant és una bona idea per explorar amb els nostres alumnes.
Classes temàtiques són una gran oportunitat d'aprendre no només l'idioma anglès, sinó també altres aspectes de la cultura anglesa.





Background
Halloween originated as a pagan festival especially in Northern Europe. Some people claim that Halloween is a day on which spirits try to contact living people. As it takes place one evening before Christian All Saints’s Day, it is also called All Saint’s Eve.
Halloween va sorgir com un festival pagà sobretot al nord d'Europa. Algunes persones afirmen que Halloween és un dia en què els esperits intenten posar-se en contacte amb la gent de vida.
What do people do?
Typical festive activities for Halloween include the use of costumes and masks, carving lanterns out of pumpkins, playing pranks, telling scary stories and playing treat- or –tricks. Halloween costumes range from vampires, ghosts and skeletons to witches and devil creatures.
Activitats festives típiques per Halloween inclouen l'ús de vestits i màscares, buidant les carabasses, fent bromes, explicant històries de por i jugant “Tracte o broma” Algunes disfresses de Halloween poden ser: vampirs, fantasmes , esquelets , bruixes i diables.


What we have done in English class
Teaching Halloween
We have read some texts and poems about Halloween. This is usually a great time to introduce a wide range of new vocabulary which they may not normally appear. We have learnt some new vocabulary about Halloween such as: Pumpkin, witch, ghost, candy, spider, monster, trick or treat….
Hem llegit alguns textos i poemes sobre Halloween. És un bon moment per introduir un vocabulari . Algunes paraules que hem après: carbassa, bruixa, fantasma, caramel, aranya, monstre, truc o tracte ....
Halloween song
Our students have learnt “Five funny pumpkin song”
Els nostres alumnes han après la cançó “Five funny pumpkin ”
Halloween Crafts
We have made a wonderful band.
Hem fet una banda de Halloween.
Role Plays

Els alumnes han jugat al “truc o tracte”
Treat or trick poem

Trick or treat

We have tried to make the Halloween class as much enjoyable as possible!

We have also tried to make the most of it !

Hem intentat de celebrar Halloween de la manera més divertida possible i de treure'n el màxim profit.

We hope you enjoy this issue.

Creating Classroom Routines & Procedures

In Our school children start to learn English in the Pre-School (P4- P5).
Children learn English with Patch's puppet and the magic box.

A la nostra escola  introduim l'aprenentatge de la llengua anglesa  a P4 i P5. Els nens i nenes aprenen amb en Patch i la caixa màgica.







 This course we have just introduced classroom routines due to the fact that English classes last one hour. Routines are the backbone of daily classroom life. They facilitate teaching and learning. Routines don't just make our life easier, they save valuable classroom time. And what's most important, efficient routines make it easier for students to learn and achieve more.

Enguany al disposar de sessions d'un hora podem incloure les rutines pròpies de la jornada escolar. Les rutines són l'eix vertebrador del treball diari de l'aula; ens faciliten el procés d'ensenyament - aprenentatge. I el que és més important, fan que l'alumnat aprengui cada cop més. 

Arriving in the morning. 
Taking Attendance.
After the bustle of putting away bags, coats...The  best way to start English classes is taking attendance and discussing about routines tasks (the weather, date, time...). They can help bring students together and built community in the classroom.

En arribar al matí, després de penjar les motxilles , jaquetes...La millor manera de començar les classes d'anglès és passant llista i fent les rutines  ( el temps, la data, l'hora...). Les rutines ens ajuden a crear un bon clima dins de l'aula .







 We start classes making a circle and  singing "Hello song".
Comencem la classe fent una rotllana i cantant la cançó del " Bon dia".








Every morning we wake up Patch. We have to say : "Patch wake up , please".
Cada matí hem de despertar en Patch. Hem de dir: "Pacht, desperta, si us plau".
