The importance of Physical Activity

In Physical Education we were going round in a circuit:
balancing on a beam, pulling our bodies with arm strength, jumping on the mini trampoline, doing a somersault and climbing over an obstacle. After some rounds, some children where panting and I asked if they were getting tired. Before anyone could say anything about the benefits of exercise, Grace shouts from across the gym,
"Getting tired is fun!"

Photographs were taken by Clara.
This is what we are aiming at with somersaults:


Learn and Remember

Today in our group reading we were looking at some non-decodable words:
me       to       here          I            are
he       do       there        you
she      so       where
we      go
be

I said, "we had to take a 'photograph' of these words in our heads.

We have to learn these words".
Suhani pipes up: "We need to learn and remember!"

Think Creativity and Construction at Christmas

These LEGO Instructions from 1974 Are Awesome (And Yes, They're Real)
True in the 1970's and still true today.

A Dragon's weekend

This weekend we stepped inside the Dragon's Cave - the Estádio do Dragão - where we explored the history and trophies of the club in the Museu do Futebol Clube do Porto, and experienced an incredible stadium tour.















We looked at our lovebird's nest.
They were sitting on five little white eggs, to incubate them until they hatch small baby parrots 
(or little Dragons, who knows?
Sr. Urso joined                         us for dinner!


Pyjama Day in Reception Bears


Our aim was to get a good day's sleep.      First of all we had a bedtime snack:       school made jam tarts,                           cottage biscuit                                               and milk.
Before going to bed we all brushed our teeth.
We had a bed time story.
We counted sheep.
We lay down in bed.
But we could not sleep - we had
too much energy so we rolled out of bed.
Jumped on the bed

Designed a nightie or a pair of pyjamas in ICT








Ate bananas in pyjamas

                                                         








YUM!

One would have thought that going to sleep
 would be an easy thing to do...

Reception Bears were able to raise over
100 Euros to sponsor fostering children
who do not have a family.
Thank you Bears!

Magic carpet

Today Prep and Reception classes visited the
"Magic Carpet" factory at Casa da Música.


















The factory workers were making, painting, hanging, and folding magic carpets.
One particular carpet did not want to fly.
As we listened to music from around the world we saw one of the factory workers climb up to the sky to get some magic dust.
We saw some elegant magic tricks performed to the sound of oriental music but the carpet still would not fly.
The carpet was tired of being trodden on, it wanted to dance instead to the sound of a Tango.
Dance lead the Magic Carpet all the way to Hollywood.


Ted in my bed

Ted came to spend the weekend. 
He stayed overnight.














In the morning we had breakfast together.















We played together inside 
because it was raining outside.
