A Fun Easter Tradition in Our English Classes

Once again this year, our pupils enjoyed one of the most exciting activities in our English lessons: the Easter Egg Hunt. This activity is always a fantastic way to learn English through play, movement and surprise.

 As they take part in the hunt, children practise Easter vocabulary, colours, directions and simple instructions in a natural and motivating way. They also develop other important skills such as observation, listening, cooperation and problem-solving. The Easter Egg Hunt also gives us the opportunity to work on the cultural side of language learning.

In English lessons, learning a language also means discovering traditions and celebrations from English-speaking countries. Easter is one of them, and activities like this help our pupils become familiar with customs that are part of the cultural world of English. 

 All the classes took part in the activity, each one adapted to their age and level. In some cases, the children had to follow clues to find the eggs, which made the challenge even more exciting. Big and small alike joined in with great enthusiasm, and it was lovely to see their emotion and excitement as they searched for the hidden eggs. 

 Without a doubt, it was a joyful, engaging and memorable experience for everyone. Learning English through meaningful and cultural activities like this makes the language come alive in the classroom.

Four Years of Our Bilingual Album Project

For the fourth year in a row, we are enjoying our bilingual album project in Galician and English at school. This year, our Infant Education and first cycle of Primary pupils began on March 9th and will work on it until March 27th. They are highly motivated and truly enjoying every moment of this experience!

Halloween Week at Our School

This week we celebrated Halloween at CEIP Plurilingüe Víctor López Seoane. One of the main attractions was The Tunnel of Terror, a spooky version of Hansel and Gretel’s house, created to connect with one of our school goals this year: promoting healthy eating habits. Our sixth-grade students helped to prepare and guide the younger ones through this scary and fun experience. After the tunnel, the children listened to Halloween stories told by families, our language assistant, and some sixth graders who joined the storytelling sessions. We also enjoyed a special Treat or Treating activity. Each class visited another, sang a Halloween song, and received a small gift: beads to make bracelets, not sweets. Everyone came to school in costume, and we all shared a day full of laughter, creativity, and teamwork.

ADVENT CALENDAR

We’ve created a fun and original video featuring the cricket, brought to life by the talented students from Year 5 and our language assistant, Kristina.  Their creativity and enthusiasm shine in this unique performance, making it a truly magical addition to our Advent Calendar

Celebrating Thanksgiving Day at Our School 🌟🍂

 Thanksgiving Day is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on all the things we are grateful for, and this year, we celebrated it in a very special way at our school!

 In our English classes, each student participated in creating a beautiful Tree of Gratitude. 

Here’s how we did it: 

 1. The Tree: We set up a large tree made of paper in the school hall, with bare branches ready to be decorated.

 2. Sharing Gratitude: During English class, each child wrote down what they were thankful for on colorful leaf-shaped paper.

 3. Decorating Together: One by one, the students placed their gratitude leaves on the tree, filling it with warmth, kindness, and positivity. 

 The result? A stunning tree that reminded us all of the power of gratitude and the joy of sharing.

 This activity not only helped our students practice their English skills but also encouraged them to reflect on the importance of being thankful. 

 We’re so proud of how it turned out—our Tree of Gratitude truly captured the Thanksgiving spirit! 🍁

HALLOWEEN'24

How We Celebrated Halloween at Our School 🎃👻

Halloween at our school was a truly spook-tacular event this year! 

Everyone, from the youngest to the oldest students, got involved in the fun and festive activities we had planned.

We began with a thrilling visit to The Cave of Terror ( our creepy Bug Hotel). All students braved these scary stops, enjoying the chills and thrills! After that, they gathered to listen to spooky stories told by some very special guests – our families. Their storytelling made the experience even more memorable.
Later, our talented Year 5 students worked together to create an incredible soundtrack for Disney’s The Haunted House. With the help of our language assistant, Kristina, who narrated the story, the performance was both haunting and magical. Their hard work truly brought the movie to life!

We also organized a special Trick or Treat activity with a heartwarming twist. Instead of asking for treats, each class visited another classroom to bring them a special gift – puzzles, bracelets, or games, depending on their level. They also sang a Halloween-themed song to make the moment even more special.

It was a day full of creativity, teamwork, and fun. Halloween at our school was not just about celebrating—it was about learning, sharing, and creating unforgettable memories together! 🎃✨

ENGLISH DAY

On the 6th and 7th of June, we celebrated English Days at our school with the theme "the vegetable garden." The event featured five rotating workshops: a movement activity (The watering can challenge), an artistic workshop (vegetable printing), another movement activity (the four corners), a linguistic challenge (a scavenger hunt), and a sensory experience.
