Support English teachers

We are very lucky this academic year because Frankie and Yousra work with us.
They both are the support English teachers and they are here to help us and Emilia.
Frankie worked with us 2 years ago, and he enjoyed the experience so much that he decided to come back. He helps us improve our oral skills. We love his American accent from Philadelphia.
We first met Yousra some months ago. She was born in Morocco but she moved to the island at the age of 3.
Thanks to them we can make smaller groups in order to be able to learn and work better.
We hope they have a great time with us.


Enguany som molt afortunats per poder fer feina amb en Frankie i na Yousra, els dos professors de suport d’anglès.

En Frankie ja va fer feina amb nosaltres fa 2 anys i va gaudir tant de l’experiència, que enguany ha tornat al nostre centre. Ens ajuda a millorar el nostre oral i ens encanta el seu accent americà de Filadèlfia.

A na Yousra la vàrem conèixer fa uns mesos. Va néixer al Marroc però va venir a Mallorca amb 3 anys.

Gràcies a ells, podem desdoblar grups per poder aprendre i treballar millor.

Esperam que tenguin un bon any amb nosaltres i s’ho passin molt bé.

Creating  our  own Demon mask
Last week, we made some masks to celebrate St. Antoni with the 3rd and 4th graders. 
We gave them some instructions in English to see if they could understand and complete the task at hand.  These are the steps they followed:
1.-  First, they had to design their own Demon mask. 
2.-  After that, they had to colour it. 
3.-  Once it was designed and coloured, they had to cut the masks out and add a piece of elastic so that they could wear it.
4.-  Finally, the children put on the masks and started to scare each other.
We had a great time celebrating an important Mallorcan cultural tradition, and the children did a fantastic job following the instructions in English. We also took advantage of the occasion to sing the following text:
“ Sant Antoni is a good man, a good man.  And the demon is very scary, and the demon is very scary.  Ai!!!!! Very scary. Ay!!!! Very scary”

Cream la nostra màscara de Dimoni
La setmana passada, vàrem dissenyar unes màscares amb els alumnes de 3r i 4t per celebrar la festivitat de Sant Antoni. 
Els hi vàrem donar totes les instruccions en anglès per comprovar si les entenien i les podien seguir sense problemes. Aquestes varen ser les passes:
1.-  Primer, havien de crear les seves pròpies màscares de dimoni.
2.-  Després, les havien de col.lorejar. 
3.-  Una vegada creades i col.lorejades, havien de retallar-les i afegir un tros d’elàstic per poder posar-se-les.
4.-  Finalment, les havien d’estrenar i començar a espantar els altres.
Ens ho vàrem passar molt bé celebrant una tradició tan nostra i els infants varen fer un treball fantàstic durant tot el procès d’elaboració. També aprofitàrem l’ocasió per cantar la següent tonada en anglès que ens vàrem inventar:

“ Sant Antoni is a good man, a good man.  And the demon is very scary, and the demon is very scary.  Ai!!!!! Very scary. Ay!!!! Very scary”
