Creating Beebot games for the little ones...

Hello again!
Our 6th grade students are back in business deciding the games that they can create for the Beebots. Then, they'll do the activity with the p4 students... They know it and can't wait to do it. We'll show you the pictures next week! :)

Let's do some coaching!

We've been doing some coaching techniques with our 5th and 6th grade students and the results are surprising!
It's been interesting to see how they think they are, their satisfaction when a colleague told them how good they were on something and the smile of them when they left the class.

Coaching has loads of benefits, not only for the students, but also for the teachers and parents:

"The practice of coaching in the classroom is one of the most effective ways to bring out the best in students, to develop their talents and strengths, to build skills and confidence and to nurture learning.

It should go without saying that teachers everywhere can benefit from bringing into their classrooms. Despite the best efforts of teachers, students sometimes need that extra push of encouragement to help them thrive." Taken out from here!

Let's coach, then!!!

My favourite food

Hi there!
These weeks, the P4 students have been working with the book called: "My favourite food". It's been awesome to see how they learnt all of the fruit names and even knew the animals' favourite food...
I bet you can't guess the Goats' favourite food.... SOCKS!!!!!

Guided reading through...

... FINGER LIGHTS!!!!

Just found this at a shop and thought of using it in class!

They didn't really like reading out loud in English, because when they read, they weren't sure about how to pronounce some words in English. Now, with that, they aren't focused on pronunciation, as they are focused on the light and they feel more free to read. When their partner corrects their pronunciation, they just say it again and keep reading ad lightning!
Awesome!!! :)
Do you have some finger lights? What do you use them for?? :)

There was an old lady...

... who swallowed a FLY!!!!

OMG!

we've been using these amazing finger lights to look for the animals that this Old (and a little bit crazy, we must say) Lady has eaten!
She even ate a horse... And she's ____ of course! (are you able to fill that gap?)

Here is the video... enjoy! :')

Silly Suzy Goose!

Hi!!

Silly Suzy Goose is a story about a Goose that wanted to be different, but in the end.... OH SORRY! I was just about to be a spoiler and tell you how it ended!!! Grab a glass of chocolate milk, sit down and chillax with Silly Suzy Goose! :)

When we finished with it, we could know that the giraffes like to stretch their necks, that the elephants walk and stomp and also that the gorillas can climb trees!
