Robin Hood, clink!!

On the 19th of February, Stella, an actress, came to our gym to perform "The Story of Robin Hood and Maid Marion".

The story was about a man called Robin Hood. He was a strong, brave archer. He was famous for stealing money from the rich and giving it to the poor. He lived in the Sherwood Forest.

There was another man called Sheriff of Nottingham, He was rich and evil. Robin Hood and the Sheriff both were in love with Maid Marion. The Sheriff hated Robin Hood.

Our favourite parts were:

* when Robin Hood said: 

- Robin Hood, clink!!! (and showed us his bright teeth!)

* the archery competition

* when Stella asked for volunteers

The theatre play was amazing and there was only one actress! The story was great because Stella is an excellent actress. She is very funny and she sings very well.

We think it is very difficult that one person performs all the different characters in a story.

The Sheriff of Nottingham asked Natàlia (one teacher) to have a coffee with him but she answered "NEVER!".

Wonderful toucans.

This first term in Art, the boys and girls from 5^th and 6^th grade, have painted toucans in the jungle, in Henri Rousseau’s style.

In this project we have learnt lots of things about Henri Rousseau and how he painted and lived. Each one created his/her painting, following a rubric.

First we draw the toucan. Then we painted the toucan with crayons.

We draw leaves and painted with a different variety of watercolor greens. We also painted the sky with watercolors. We outlined everything and finally we shaded the leaves.

The project is very funny. It is easy and the results are very beautiful. We like the project because there many different colors.

Light and colour

Have you heard abou Bill Nye the Science Guy?

He is an Americam science educator, television host, actor, writes, scientist and former mechanical engineer, best known as the host of the Fisney/PBS children's science show Bill Nye the Science Guy (1993–98).

We've watched his video about light and colour. It's great!

Twine stories

In our school magazine we promised you'd find the stories 6th graders created with Twine.

We are sorry but due to technical problems we can't publish them. We'll go on trying to find a solution...

Learning about Astronomy.

Today we have gone to the UdG's Parc Tecnològic to learn about Astronomy.
We've been in a Planetarium and we have looked at stars, contellations, galaxies, the planets, meteorites...It's been very good.
We've looked at the Sun spots through a telescope but today there were very small spots.
We've used computers to calculate the time the Sun needs to rotate. To do this we've observed the spots in some pictures taken day after day with a satellite.
We think it's been an interesting activity, some parts even funny, but it's been difficult to understand everything.

A visit from Australia

Today, a girl from Australia has visited the class of 5th graders. Her name is Cleo and she is 18 years old. We asked her questions about her personal life and about Australia. She explained us things about the Australian traditions, the sports, the animals, the food etc. She also explained that in Australia it is a different time and a different season. Finally we recommended her some places to visit, for example the cathedral, “la Devesa” and “el cul de la lleona”. We liked the visit a lot because we learned new things about Australia.

Thank you for coming Cleo!
