ARTISTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD

 

Over the last few weeks we have discovered artists from all over the world. Do you dare to do it with us?

 

María Blanchard

While everyone knows Pablo Picasso, few people have heard of María Blanchard. The fifth and sixth grade students have had the great pleasure of learning about her artwork and her life. Furthermore, we have created our own art treasures inspired by Blanchard. We present some of them to you.

Sonia Delaunay

Sonia Delaunay was a Ukrainian artist and designer. She was the creator of the movement Orphism, noted for its use of strong colors and geometric shapes. She was the first woman to have an exhibition at the Louvre.
We have learned a lot about her and we have created our own paintings using the collage technique.

Georgia O’Keefee

Georgia O’Keeffe was an American artist. She was among the most influential figures of Modernism, best known for her large format paintings of natural subjects, especially flowers.
The fifth and sixth grade students have created their own compositions using her ‘Red Poppy’ art piece as inspiration.

 

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

 

    This week we have clebrated International Women's Day. We have shown the students that International Women's Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. 

    The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender equality. We think it is essential that they learn basic vocabulary and for that reason we played some games in which they participated in teams having fun while they learned many different words.

    Furthermore, we have shown them the poet: Rupi Kaur and we read some of ther poems. We prsent to you two students reading poems that talk about women. 

EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

Los alumnos de sexto A muestran sus presentaciones sobre distintos países Europeos, dando a conocer sus costumbres, platos típicos, festividades y artistas más famoso. 

POPPIES EVERYWHERE!

According to the project about the letters in Extremadura, bilingual students have drawn poppies, using oil pastels!  Poppies are one of the typical flowers of Extremadura.

 

They look great on the wall … Have a look!

 

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING PAUL!!!

Last week was Paul's last week at our school. It was a sad week for all of us. We didn't want to say goodbye to our bilingual teacher.

Students gave Paul a special present. They wrote wonderful messages for him and they created a nice lapbook.

We hope you remember us. We will not forget your fun lessons. Undoubtedly, we have learnt a lot with you. 

It has been an honor to work with you.

Thanks for everything. 

See you soon!

OPTICAL ILLUSION!!

We have created a picture that can play tricks with your eyes. This is called an Optical Illusion. Concretely, the picture is known as the Rubins vase, developed around 1915 by the Danish psychologist Edgar Rubin. The figure in the image can appear as two faces or a vase. Try to interpret these images. 

As you can see, the result of their work is stunning!!
