Christmas is coming! Christmas 2023

Christmas is coming!! We are all in a hurry, but now more than ever we have to decorate our classroom as well.

We can make some simple Christmas  trees:

How are we going to do it? 

First, we need two green triangles, then we glue them together and fill them with soft paper to give them shape. 

Second, we make some circles with musical score. This type of  paper will be the decoration for our  Christmas tree, then add what you want : some gold or  silver stars.

Follow all the steps:

Now, we can prepare our Christmas card, choose your favourite card:

Samaín/Halloween `Fiz o coleccionista de medos´Fiz, the collector of fears´

When Samaín arrives, we decorate our classrooms with  pumpkins, witches, spiders, ghosts, black curtains...

This year, 5th grade students were able to enjoy a storytelling session at the  school library as you listen to ¨Fiz o coleccionista de medos¨.

Remember  the story,....FIZ O COLECIONISTA DE MEDOS

Now think of yourself as the illustrator of this book, and design the cover, your cover for this story.

 The sea has been a source of inspiration for many artists. Here are some examples:

Naruto Whirlpools from Utagawa Hiroshige  an artistic pseudonym of Ando Tokutaro, a Japanese painter. 

 

The sailing boat from Edward Hooper

MARUJA MALLO

On 8 March we celebrate the day of the working woman, so we will get to know the figure of the artist from Lugo Maruja Mallo, the free woman who painted unique universes.

 

Maruja Mallo, Ana María Gómez González, was born in Vivero 05.01.1902 and died in Madrid 06.02.1995. She was a Spanish surrealist painter and is considered to be an artist of the Generation of '27 within the so-called Spanish interior avant-garde.

( Both her brother and she decided to adopt her father's second surname as her stage name, Mallo.)

 

 

 

 

 

Therefore, we will be working on one of his most famous paintings:
