Storytelling

El pasado día 27 de mayo, a las 09:00 h. todos los alumnos de 3º de Ed. Infantil recibieron la visita de Louise, una joven escocesa que pasó parte de la mañana con ellos durante las clases de Inglés. Tras presentarse y preguntarles sus nombres, les contó el cuento Very hungry caterpillar y más tarde, se realizaron diferentes actividades con ellos acerca de los diferentes alimentos que aparecen en la historia, trabajando con los días de la semana y otros muchos aspectos. Finalmente, los pequeños probaron diferentes frutas intentando discriminar su sabor y adivinar cuál era en cada caso. ¡Todos los niños querían participar y les entusiasmó! La respuesta de los niños ha sido muy positiva ya que participaron activamente en todos y cada uno de los juegos aprendiendo muchas cosas nuevas, y repasando otras que ya sabían. Y sobre todo, han podido compartir un ratito diferente todos juntos y aprendiendo inglés con una hablante nativa.

The last 27th May the children of the 3rd year of Nursery Education received the visit of a Scottish girl called Louise who spent part of the morning speaking in English with them for the English classes. After introducing herself and asking them some questions, she told them a story called The very hungry caterpillar and then, the students could participate in some activities related to the story. Finally the pupils tried different fruits trying to guess which one it was in each case. They all wanted to participate! They were amazed! The experience has been very positive since all of them wanted to participate in every activity, and they have learnt new things and reviewed other contents that they already knew. They have had the opportunity to share some time all together learning English with a native speaker.

The story tell us about a caterpillar that is extremely hungry. He can’t stop eating. Each day of the week he eats more and more food… That is why it is perfect to work with the days of the week and with food. Also, you can review some colours, shapes, animals… Furthermore, they can distinguish between healthy and unhealthy food. Besides, they learn how a caterpillar changes and grows up since it hatches from a tiny egg, till it emerges from its cocoon as a beautiful butterfly.

Children love it!

Here you have the story:

Now, you can see some photographs taken during the session.

Happy Robert Burns´ day.

We’re coming up to January 25 which marks the annual celebration of Scotland’s national bard Robert Burns who lived from January 25, 1759 to July 21, 1796. Many of Burns’ songs and poetry were inspired by the beauty of Scotland, particularly the breathtaking scenery of Ayrshire, his birthplace and the romantic setting of Dumfries & Galloway where he lived in later life. It’s believed his love of nature stemmed from his working life on the family farm in Alloway, Ayr, where he wrote poems such as ‘To a Mouse’, ‘The Primrose’ and ‘A Winter Night’. Burns’ most famed poems are Auld Lang Syne and To a Haggis – the latter is oft recited at Burns Nights. Traditional Burns suppers centre on haggis (innards stuffed in a sheep’s stomach), neeps (turnips), tatties (potatoes) and plenty of whisky and music.

'Auld Lang Syne' by Robert Burns

"Auld Lang Syne" is a Scottish poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 and set to the tune of a traditional folk song (Roud # 6294). It is well known in many English-speaking countries and is often sung to celebrate the start of the new year at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day.

The song's (Scots) title may be translated into English literally as "old long since", or more idiomatically, "long long ago" or "days gone by". The phrase "Auld Lang Syne" is also used in similar poems by Robert Ayton (15701638), Allan Ramsay (1686-1757), and James Watson (1711) as well as older folk songs predating Burns.[2] In his retelling of fairy tales in the Scots language, Matthew Fitt uses the phrase "In the days of auld lang syne" as the equivalent of "Once upon a time." In Scots syne is pronounced like the English word sign.

Auld Lang Syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp,
And surely I'll be mine,
And we'll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine,
But we've wander'd monie a weary fit,
Sin auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl'd in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin auld lang syne.

And there's a hand my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o thine,
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang syne
