Storytime!

Minorka, one of our linguistic volunteers, told a story to 3rd graders. You can see they were very happy and they listened carefully to the story.

Meet our linguistic volunteers!

Thanks to our PILE project (Explore and Enjoy), this year we are enjoying a very special cooperation: three linguistic volunteers! They are helping us to improve our oral skills and, of course, they also share their culture with us. Please, have a look at their presentations:

La Garrotxa with 4th graders

Last month year 4 students had their annual 'colònies'. They went to La Garrotxa and they did lots of different activitites.

For example, the visited a volcano and 'La Fageda d'en Jordà'.

They became pirates and did a ginkana to find a secret treasure... in English!!!

Here you can see how they listen carefully to the explanations:

Get to know our city!!!

During few weeks we have been working on our city, Barcelona, with 4th graders.

They have learned about the limits of the city, its different districts and famous monuments or places you can visit.

Last Friday we did an actual tour around the city and we could see, first hand, many of the things we had explained in class.

It was fun and very interesting!

You can see some pictures...
