Students created comic strips to show their daily routines like brushing their teeth, eating breakfast, and playing outside. Each panel had a picture they drew or glued, helping them understand routines while being creative. Their comic strips turned out great and showed how much they learned.
Students learned the "12 Days of Christmas" by putting together a big holiday puzzle that showed all the gifts from the song. As they worked on the puzzle, they practiced numbers and new words. Everyone was excited when the puzzle was complete, and it looked amazing!
Each day of the "12 Days of Christmas" came to life with coloring pages that matched the song. Students used bright colors to decorate each picture, helping them learn new words while having fun. Their finished artwork made the classroom look festive and full of holiday cheer.

To celebrate Thanksgiving, students wrote what they were thankful for on paper feathers that they decorated. These feathers were put together to create a big turkey that reminded us all of the importance of gratitude. It was a heartwarming activity that showed how much we all have to be thankful for.
At the end, a special witch used her magic to brew up tasty treats for the students—what a magical surprise!
Becoming a language assistant has been a natural extension of my passion. It allows me to share my creativity in new ways, helping students learn English while connecting through creative activities and art.
Teaching is not just about language—it’s about building bridges between cultures, learning from each other, and celebrating what makes us unique. I truly enjoy seeing students grow in confidence and expression, and it’s fulfilling to know I’m playing a part in shaping their journey while learning from them as well.
We had great fun during our reading time this week with the book " What's in the Witch's Kitchen? by Nick Sharratt.
The witch has hidden a trick and a treat in her magical kitchen cupboards! Which one you find depends on how you open the doors.
Last Monday Zoila took part in the event organized to welcome the language assistants in A Cidade da Cultura in Santiago de Compostela. She told her experience as an auxiliar describing the most relevant aspects of her work in our school as well as the way of life in Galicia. She started her speech by singing the first line of the song How far I'll go ?(Moana film) and that made that the audience was totally hooked.
Welcome everybody to this school year 2023-2024, which is marked by the 50th anniversary of our school. This school year we looking forward to doing activities related to this topic. Here we go!
6th graders interviewed some pilgrims from different parts of the world. They asked them interesting questions. It was nice that they shared with us new perspectives of seeing the Camino. Thank you!
This month students from 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grade participated in the 1st Spelling Bee Competition in our school, they did a good job and we also had great fun. Congrats to the winners! 👏👏
Last week 5th and 6th graders had the opportunity to see the play "What Monster?" by the theatre company On Stage in Afundacion, Pontevedra. The play was about the "You can do it" summer camp , a place where the campers had to carry out a mission. It was fun and also the fact that some students were characters in the story was motivating and engaging for the audience.
This week, Zoila read the rhyming book Llama, Llama red pajama by the American writer Anna Dewdney to kindergarten students. It is about a baby llama that turns bedtime into a drama when his mama goes downstairs.
Last week we celebrated the International Day of Peace at school and Zoila sang the song Imagine by John Lennon beautifully. This song is "an ad campaign of peace" as the singer described it in the early seventies.💜
Last Friday, 6th graders were practicing the comparative and superlative form with a fun game in groups. They were really engaged and it was great fun.
The students made their three-dimensional version of the Philippine Jeepney for art class. The Jeepney is the most popular mode of transportation in the Philippines, and it is also considered as an important symbol of art and culture in the country. In this activity, the students learned the rich culture and history of Jeepney as well as other forms of art like Filipino songs and music videos that are inspired by the Jeepney. They were also able to express their own creativity by decorating their jeepneys with wonderful designs which the Philippine jeepney is most famous for.
