Thanksgiving Day  is a national  holiday celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year.

Let's learn more about this holiday and play some games:

HEALTHY LIFE WITH HEALTHY FOOD

At my school we are working on a Project about healthy  life and how food can help us to have our life more healthy.

Let's have a look to this LIM, by some teachers from Xunta de Galicia and learn some vocabulary.

CHESTNUT PARTY AND BARBECUES

Fall is in the air, leaves are changing colours, in Galicia we celebrate a chestnut party ( O Magosto) and in the USA people celebrate barbecues at their backyards.

Enjoy with this song:

Let's remember some vocabulary about food and play some games:

Listen to the vocabulary

Remember and play

Go shopping

Look in the kitchen

And know you are prepared to make a barbecue

FALL IS HERE !!!

Let's celebrate "Fall is here"  singing some songs about this season

  

And playing  some fun activities

Catch some leaves with Dora

A fruit collection game 

Colour on line

A listening game

Colect the acorns with the squirrel

Spot the differences

THE ELEMENTS OF ART

The elements of art are sort of like atoms in that both serve as "building blocks." A similar activity happens when the elements of art are combined. Instead of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, etc., in art you've got:

·         line

·         shape

·         form

·         space

·         texture

·         value

·         color

Artists manipulate these seven elements, mix them in with principles of design and compose a piece of art. Not every work has every last one of these elements contained within it, but there are always at least two present.

LET'S HAVE A LOOK TO THIS VIDEO, EXPLAINING THESE CONCEPTIONS:

ABOUT THE SEA...

This year at our school we are going to work on a Project about "The Sea" and, to start in a funny way, let's have a look to this video were we can sing Jack Hartmann. His songs are one of the best in educational children's music

This song titled Five Little Fish focuses on basic addition and basic math skills using finger play.

Here you have the lyrics:

Hold up your hand – move your fingers to the beat

These are the fish swimming in the sea

When we start out let me see just one

Whoops say “hello” means another fish has come

One little fish swimming in the sea

Splishing and a splashing rockin’ to the beat

Here comes another fish, whoops say “hello

Two little fish swimming in a row

Two little fish swimming in the sea

Splishing and a splashing rockin’ to the beat

Here comes another fish, whoops, say “hello”

Three little fish swimming in a row

Three little fish swimming in the sea

Splishing and a splashing rockin’ to the beat

Here comes another fish, whoops, say “hello”

Four little fish swimming in a row

Four little fish swimming in the sea

Splishing and a splashing rockin’ to the beat

Here comes another fish, whoops, say “hello”

Five little fish swimming in a row

Five little fish swimming in the sea

Splishing and a splashing rockin’ to the beat

Five little fish swimming in a row

Let’s wave good-bye ‘cause whoops there they go

Let’s wave good-bye ‘cause whoops there they go.
