We know how important it is to stimulate the infant’s brain with new vocabulary in the early years so in our classes we have a full section of vocabulary where children can choose from. The vocabulary in the early year’s stage is based on three different materials. First students work with just the object and then, we introduce the relation between the object and the cards with the image of the object and finally, they work with just the cards. With this area, we allow children to enrich their vocabulary and expand the use of words.

XVI Jornada de Orientadores: Cultivando el bienestar emocional en el ámbito escolar

El pasado 14 de octubre tuvo lugar en Madrid la «XVI Jornada de Orientadores». En esta ocasión el título de la sesión era «XVI Jornada de Orientadores». El equipo de psicología y orientación de la escuela siguió este acto de forma online.
La sesión se inició con una ponencia de la psicóloga Silvia Álava que llevaba el título de «La inteligencia emocional como aliada del aprendizaje».
A continuación se hizo la presentación del programa «PleaseApp» que sirve para trabajar la pragmática, a cargo de Pau Álvarez.
A continuación se presentaron dos herramientas para trabajar las emociones y las relaciones, a cargo de Pau Álvarez.
Para finalizar, se realizó un taller práctico para trabajar el bienestar emocional a cargo de la psicóloga Icíar Casado.
El equipo de psicología y orientación de la escuela valoró esta jornada como muy positiva y productiva.

The students of the EP123A class recently embarked on a vibrant journey through the world of colors with a hands-on exploration of the color wheel. This presentation aimed to deepen children’s understanding of color mixing, the classification of primary, secondary, and tertiary colors, and how these colors interact in geometric arrangements.

We began by discussing the science of color. Children learned that color results from the interaction of light with objects and our eyes. When sunlight hits an object, some wavelengths are absorbed while others are reflected, creating the colors we perceive. We also explored how humans see color differently from other animals, noting that humans are trichromatic and perceive three primary colors: red, yellow, and blue.

Historically, humans have experimented with pigments found in nature, from berries and soil to ashes and blood. This understanding of pigments laid the foundation for our exploration of the three key characteristics of color: hue, saturation, and brightness. Hue is the distinct color itself, saturation describes its intensity or purity, and brightness indicates how light or dark it appears.

With this theoretical foundation, the children were invited to create their own color wheels. Using paint, pencils, paper, compasses, rulers, and constructive triangles, they drew lines, circles, and triangles to illustrate the relationships between primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. The presentation highlighted how mixing primary colors forms secondary colors – orange, green, and violet – and how varying combinations with secondary colors produce tertiary colors such as red-orange and blue-violet.

We also discussed the concept of warm and cool colors, with one side of the wheel displaying warm colors and the other cool colors. Children then learned about hue, tint, tone, and shade, gaining insight into how adding white, black, or gray alters a color’s appearance.

Throughout the activity, students were encouraged to observe, draw, trace, mix, and paint, experiencing firsthand how mathematical shapes and geometric constructions help organize and understand the world of color. Each child left the session with a beautifully constructed color wheel, reflecting their understanding of color theory, mixing techniques, and the creative application of geometric principles.

This presentation not only enhanced artistic skills but also integrated science, mathematics, and creativity, demonstrating the holistic approach of Montessori education

Los días de más calor, nos preparamos bien con los bañadores, la crema solar y las chancletas y acabamos bien pasados ​​por agua. Nos encanta la mesa de experimentación y todos los estímulos que ésta nos puede ofrecer, así como remojarnos con los cubos y cubos o en las piscinas.

Types of roots

After learning about the main function of the root and it´s parts, we then proceeded to learn about the different types of roots that come from a variation of different plants and trees.

In this presentation, the children learnt of the three main types of roots; Tap, Adventitious and Fibrous, plus the two other roots, which form a part of the adventitious family of roots, Prop and Aerial.

A selection of plants were then presented to the children for them to investigate and classify their findings.

This year the theme of the Summer Festival is Physical Education. In infants, it takes a lot of organising and planning. This year the children are bringing together many different aspects of P.E. in circuits for the different age groups. We have practiced the different elements in small groups and then this week we have brought it all together with all the children. We can´t wait for the parents to come see!

In our last class in the gymnasium, INF345 students have been working with the hoops in different activities in order to develop the gross motor skills. Some of these have been:
1. In teams, passing the hoop to the front team member to jump and move forwards.
2. Passing the hoop over the body to the next person without breaking the chain.
3. Kicking the hoop with control.
At the end of the hoop activities, a 5-year-old student has led the yoga warm down exercises.

Por segundo año consecutivo, los alumnos de la clase 456C de primaria, hemos realizado una visita al Hospital Trueta de Girona con el objetivo de visitar la planta de pediatría y llevar detalles y postales a los niños que actualmente están ingresados.

En el aula habíamos preparado diferentes postales y trabajos manuales para darles e, incluso, cosimos unos corazones que colgamos en el árbol de Navidad que tienen en planta. Para llevar a cabo esta actividad, calculamos las telas, los hilos y la cinta decorativa. Después, hicimos un Going out para ir a comprar, preparamos los patrones i, finalmente, los cosimos todos a mano.

Un grupo representativo de la clase, ha subido a las habitaciones de pediatría y ha repartido todo a los diferentes niños que había, desde bebés, hasta adolescentes. También nos han enseñado el aula del hospital, muy diferente de la nuestra.

Antes de irnos, hemos cantado tres villancicos en el vestíbulo del hospital: uno en catalán, uno en castellano y uno en inglés. Los diferentes pacientes y personas que pasaban por allí, también se han animado a cantar.
