Our students had an amazing experience at The Borough in Mercedes. They attended a camp led by native counsellors from all over the world.

Junior 5 & 6 «immersed themselves» in order to exercise and consolidate their knowledge of the English language. Various cultural, social, sporting and recreational activities were part of this unique program, in which participants were invited to engage in an intense learning adventure. They left the classroom to explore the «real world». They tried different dishes, sang and danced, changed money in the bank, bought and sold goods, worked as journalists and made up stories for a puppet show. They also went beyond the ordinary and immersed themselves in the traditions of different English-speaking communities as King Arthur’s medieval England, dressed as knights and ladies, used their swords and fought dragons. 

”Amazing things happen in a relaxed atmosphere, where students can focus on their learning while enjoying themselves”

 WELL-DONE JUNIOR 5 & 6!

Kinder investigó durante las últimas semanas acerca de la vida de San Martín. Aprendieron acerca de su valentía, honestidad y por qué fue nombrado Padre y Salvador de nuestra Nación.

Invitamos a los padres a rendirle homenaje: Kinder 2conmemoró su figura pintando la Cordillera con rodillos y realizaron expresión corporal siguiendo la marcha de San Lorenzo. Kinder 3 pintó granaderos y dramatizó el cruce de los Andes realizando un circuito. Kinder 4 contó la historia del prócer con un mural pintado por ellos y luego jugando en pequeños grupos con dados gigantes “Cruzando los Andes’’ con cordilleras confeccionada con material descartable. Kinder 5 preparó un cuento con imágenes de los principales hechos de la vida de San Martín y luego completó un crucigrama relacionado con lo que aprendieron.

Kinder investigated for the last weeks about San Martin’s life. They learnt about how brave and courageous he was and why he was named Father and Saviour of our Nation.
We invited the parents to pay tribute to him: Kinder 2 commemorated his figure painting the Cordillera with rollers and with body expression following the march of San Lorenzo. Kinder 3 painted grenadiers and dramatized the crossing of the Andes following a circuit. Kinder 4 told the story of the hero using a mural and then played in small groups with giant dices “Crossing the Andes‘’using mountains made of disposable material. Kinder 5 prepared a story with images of the main facts of San Martín’s life and then completed a crossword puzzle.

«Al hombre honrado no le es permitido ser indiferente al sentimiento de la justicia.»

Durante la tercera semana de agosto, en el Kinder agasajamos a nuestros alumnos con actividades lúdicas y comunitarias para festejar el Día del Niño. La entrada y el pasillo del jardín estaba colorida decorada con globos, payasos y banderines.

Realizamos juegos recreativos, hubo un show de circo “YO LA VI PRIMERO”,

Kinder Staff dramatizó un cuento con canciones y nos visitó nuevamente el carrito de pochoclos y copos de azúcar “Sweet Loly”. ¡Qué divertido todo lo que hicimos!

También estuvo presente el trabajo comunitario. Los niños ayudaron a rellenar vasos coloridos con cosas ricas para llevar al Hogar Confiar. ¡Qué bueno aprender desde pequeños que es importante hacer feliz a otros!

¡Muchas gracias a todos los que colaboraron con esta Campaña de la semana del niño solidaria que comenzamos hace varios años de la mano de nuestro Community ServiceTeam!

We played recreational games, there was a circus show «YO LA VI PRIMERO»,

Kinder Staff dramatized a story about songs and a pop corn cart and sugar flakes visited us on Friday. What fun!

Community work was also present. The children helped filling up colourful glasses with YUMMY YUMMY things to take to the Hogar Confiar. It’s good to learn from an early age that it’s important to make others happy!

Como todos los años durante el tradicional Talent Show organizado por los alumnos del ultimo año funciona un kiosco que colabora, con C.S.Team, con un porcentaje de las ventas realizadas. Este año la ayuda solidaria tuvo una vuelta más porque los alumnos se sumaron a colaborar con salchichas y pan para panchos.

During the lasts weeks, Kinder 3 has been working on a project about pets and vets. They investigated what a pet was and their characteristics. The teacher read them books and showed them some videos. They were able to learn that a pet is an animal that lives at home and is taken care of by members of the family. They also learnt that wild animals are not pets because they can’t live in houses.

To finish off their project, three vets came to visit our Kinder. They brought dogs, “Chita” and Bubba” and two chicks. One of the vets was Dolores, Amadeo´s mother. She told them about the special cares a pet requires. Also all the things a dog needs to grow healthily and happily. They were able to listen to its heart with a stethoscope, look inside its ear and took Chita for a walk.

After this wonderful experience, the children were very motivated so they pretended they were vets who worked in a pet shop. The classroom was transformed into a Pet shop and the children dressed up as vets and played with their own stuffed animals. They had lots of fun while they learnt interesting things!

IT WAS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!

Durante las últimas semanas, Kinder 3 ha estado trabajando en un proyecto sobre mascotas y veterinarios. Investigaron lo qué era una mascota y sus características. Su maestra les mostró y leyó libros sobre el tema. Aprendieron que una mascota es un animal que vive en casa y es cuidado por los miembros de la familia. También que los animales salvajes no son mascotas porque no pueden vivir en casas.

Para finalizar su proyecto, tres veterinarios vinieron de visita. Trajeron dos perros, «Chita» y Bubba » pollitos. Una de las veterinarias era Dolores, la mamá de Amadeo. Les contó sobre los cuidados especiales que requiere una mascota. También todas las cosas que un perro necesita para crecer saludable y feliz. Escucharon su corazón con un estetoscopio, miraron dentro de su oreja y llevaron a Chita a dar un paseo por nuestro parque.

Después de la visita, los niños estaban muy motivados así que transformaron la sala en una veterinaria y jugaron a que eran veterinarios. Se caracterizaron y jugaron con sus propios animales de peluche. ¡Se divirtieron mucho mientras aprendían cosas interesantes!

¡FUE UNA EXPERIENCIA MARAVILLOSA!

Con el objetivo de abordar las diferencias individuales y fortalecer las particularidades de cada miembro del grupo, los alumnos de Junior 4 trabajan intensamente en la confección de un mural.

The five-year-olds have been learning about their bodies. They learnt and dramatized songs such as “HOKEY POKEY AND HEAD AND SHOULDERS”, played games and were able to name and recognize the vocabulary. They investigated together about the senses and found out that they allow us to observe and understand the world around us. There are five main ways we can do this: through sight, touch, smell, taste and hearing. They had fun experimenting with them.

They also created a monster using their imagination! Their monsters ended up with three heads, only one eye and six legs or two noses!

As a closure for the unit “My Body” Kinder 5 prepared faces using trays of cardboard and disposable material. After they were dry they painted them and took them home.

MI CUERPO

Los niños de cinco años han estado aprendiendo acerca de sus cuerpos. Aprendieron y dramatizaron canciones como «HOKEY POKEY Y HEAD AND SHOULDERS», jugaron juegos y fueron capaces de nombrar y reconocer el vocabulario. Investigaron juntos sobre los sentidos y descubrieron que nos permiten observar y entender el mundo que nos rodea. Hay cinco maneras principales de hacerlo: a través de la vista, el tacto, el olfato, el gusto y la audición. Se divirtieron experimentando con ellos.

¡También crearon un monstruo usando su imaginación! Sus monstruos terminaron con tres cabezas, ¡sólo un ojo y seis patas o dos narices!

Como cierre para la unidad «My Body» Kinder 5 preparó caras utilizando bandejas de cartón y material desechable. Después de que estuvieron secos los pintaron y los llevaron a casa.

AND THAT´S WHAT IS ALL ABOUT…
