WHAT IS “GLOBAL CLASSROOMS”?

This is the film 4th grade students made last school year, to show you what “Global Classrooms” is, and to encourage you all (teachers and students) to help them to prepare the topics.

There are many mistakes, it is a little long, but we hope you like it.

In the evening, in

a very cloudy evening
There were lots of birds.

In the mountain, the mountain
...Do I prefer the river?
I like both places!
By Pablo

In the sweet morning
on the far away mountain
I feel the nature.
By Diego B.

In the long black night
the moon looks in my bedroom
and she's smiling at me.
By Darío

The snow is pretty
it is white and beautiful
I love the good snow.
By Lydia

One day on the beach
I smile at a pretty girl
and she smiles at me.
By Raúl

The bird flies and flies
to the top of the tree, but
it can't come down now.
By Elia

The forest is nice
I see the forest always
I love animals.
By María

Poesía / Poetry

Hace unas semanas, los alumnos de primero bilingüe tuvieron una clase de poesía con nuestra lectora americana, Susannah. Tras aprender algunas características básicas de la poesía - el ritmo, la rima, la forma, como contarlas sílabas, etc, los alumnos escribieron (¡en inglés!) sus propios Haikus (un tipo de poesía japonés que consiste en tres líneas, la primera de cinco sílabas, la segunda de siete, y la última de cinco). Podeis ver los poemas (con traducciones básicas en español) haciendo clic en la pestaña de "Inglés / English."

A few weeks ago, the students from primero bilingüe had a poetry class with our American Language Assistant, Susannah. After learning about some of the basic principles of poetry - rhythm, rhyme, form, counting syllables, etc, the students wrote (in English!) their own Haikus (a form of Japanese poetry consisting of three lines, the first with five syllables, the second with seven, and the last with five). You can see the poems (with rough translations in Spanish) by clicking the "Inglés / English" tab.
