Halloween was amazing!

Hello, everyone!
Today in our classroom, we had the spookiest Halloween ever! Check out some pictures below:

Joker and Grim Reaper were in full scary costume for our Halloween Day!

A lot of vampires were seen at school that day...

Who said skeletons are not colorful individuals?

P.S. Fourth and Fifth Grade in their collective photo shoot!

One of our activities was Spider Web's Walk!

On the hallway, we had to divert the obstacles and cross to the other side of the spider's web without touching the floor!

For our second Halloween activity, we played "Who is who in Halloween?"

Dancing your feet off to a "Scary Song Trivia" was the best ending to our day!

Let's all have a scary Halloween!

Art Gallery 101

Hello, everyone! In our class, last week, we created our own artwork using many different art forms, including painting, drawing and sculpting! Check out some of the results!

Some of our students decided to paint!

Others chose sculpting as their art form...

P.S: What is the connection between your artwork and the sculptures and paintings we saw earlier this year at Fundação Roberto Marinho?

Do you know the Braille Alphabet?

Hello, everyone! Today in our class we put ourselves in a blind person's shoes for a moment! 

We learned a little about the Braille Alphabet.

Also, we searched on the internet for some information about Louis Braille, the creator of the Braille Alphabet.

At last, we wrote our names in Braille with Play Doh.

Look at the results!

Food for thought!

Hello, everyone! It is music time!
Watch the videos below and think about how they can be related. Don't forget to post a comment of what you thought!


The first video is from the movie "The Greatest Showman", which shows the story of a Circus and its peculiar members. What do you think is the message of this song?

The second song is from singer Kelly Clarkson, winner of the American Idol. Listen to the song and, then, google the lyrics. What do you think is the message of this song?

Remember to write the words you know in each song and bring them to class to share with your friends.

Cooking Caldo Verde!

 Hello, everyone!
Today, in our class, we cooked the portuguese recipe Caldo Verde.

First, we checked if we had all the ingredients - onion, potatoes, collard greens and sausage.

Then, the students had a chance to cut potatoes and collard greens, peel the onion and chop the sausage.

After boiling water, we put all the potatoes to cook with half a sausage and the onion. 

After this class, we registered everything in our My Activities notebook. Check the full recipe there!

Also, check out the video we saw in class, starring Grandma Berta:

Arcimboldo would be proud!

Hello, everyone!
Last week, in our classroom, we were inspired by Giuseppe Arcimboldo's paintings and brought fruits and vegetables from our homes to make our own fruit/vegetable face!

Check out some of Arcimboldo's paintings in this link:

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Last Saturday, we celebrated Mother's Day at school! All of the English teachers worked together with the students on the workshop: LEGO Family Challenge!

Growing herbs!

Today in class we explored the parts of a plant observing four types of herbs: Basil, Mint, Rosemary and Thyme!

Pedro told the class how he loves the smell of basil!

Bia and Maria Letícia smelled the leaves of mint and basil.

Together the class remembered the name of the herbs they already knew: Rosemary, Basil and Mint!

Everyone was curious about the fourth herb - Thyme!

Gabriel was interested to see the small roots of the herbs brought to class!

Storytelling

Today we practiced telling to our classmates the stories we created in LEGO! Check out some pictures!

Rafael helped out his friend Arthur and, in the end, both told the story of their restaurant!

Marcela's restaurant had chicken as its main dish and a river next to it!

Joaquim's story was about an underground restaurant on its inauguration evening!

We all live in a Yellow Submarine!

Today we listened to the song we are learning with Ralphen at Music Class: Yellow Submarine! Also, we built the whole story in LEGO!

"In the town where I was born/ Lived a man who sailed to sea"

"And he told us of his life/ In the land of submarines"

"So we sailed up to the sun/ Till we found a sea of green"

"And our friends are all aboard/ Many more of them live next door"

Also, check out the video we watched on class today!

Let's make our carboard bookmark!

Today we made reused cardboard bookmarks! 

Some of us even reused cut pieces of magazines.

Now we can always remember where we are when Silvana asks us to read her books!
