Coding Our Bodies: 3rd Graders Learn Science with mTiny!

Activity with Mtiny and our 3rd Grade A students to review the contents of the human body systems in Science.

In this engaging and interactive session, our 3rd Grade A students worked with Mtiny to reinforce their understanding of the main human body systems, including the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems. Through hands-on activities, collaborative challenges, and guided discussions, students reviewed key concepts in a dynamic and motivating way.

Using Mtiny as a learning tool allowed students to develop not only their scientific knowledge but also essential skills such as teamwork, problem-solving, and logical thinking. The activity encouraged active participation, curiosity, and meaningful learning, helping students connect theoretical content with practical experiences.

It was a fun and enriching experience that strengthened their understanding of how the human body works while fostering enthusiasm for Science.

Human Body Systems

In 3rd Grade Science, our students have been working on a project about the human body systems. For two weeks, the children worked in groups to learn about different systems: the digestive system, the respiratory system, the circulatory system, the excretory system and the nervous system. 

Each group researched their system, learned new vocabulary in English and shared the information with their classmates. After the research and class discussion, they created a mural together. They wrote short and clear sentences in English, drew the main organs and organised the information carefully. 

At the end of the project, each group presented their mural to the class and explained how their body system works and why it is important. In the photos, you can see the students proudly showing their work. 

Well done to our 3rd Grade students for their great effort and teamwork! 

Following Instructions in Arts

During our Bilingual Days, the 1st grade students took part in a fun drawing activity in English called “How to Draw a Cartoon Harry Potter and Hedwig”. 

Following a step-by-step tutorial, the children learned how to draw the famous wizard Harry Potter together with his owl, Hedwig. 

During the session, the teacher gave simple instructions in English such as draw a circle, draw the glasses, add the lightning scar, and draw the wings. In this way, students practiced English vocabulary related to shapes, parts of the face, and drawing. The students followed the steps with great enthusiasm and creativity, creating their own versions of Harry Potter and Hedwig. 

At the end of the activity, they proudly shared their drawings with their classmates. It was a very enjoyable session where students combined art and English in a creative and motivating way.

We Learn to Code Through Play in Year 2!

In Year 2 of Primary Education, we have experienced some very special sessions… we have become young programmers! 

Through several educational robotics lessons, our pupils have developed their computational thinking skills in a practical, hands-on and, above all, fun way.

During the sessions, we organised the classroom into learning stations, encouraging cooperative work in small groups. Each team rotated through the different activities:

• Station 1: Programming with Bee-Bot

• Station 2: Challenges with Jack the Mouse

• Station 3: The Directions Suitcase with our “Monkey”

• Station 4: Simulating routes using tablets and the Bee-Bot app

These sessions have not only strengthened technological skills, but have also fostered cooperative learning, communication and active listening, perseverance when facing mistakes, and confidence in their own abilities.

The classroom was filled with excitement every time a route worked successfully… and with thoughtful reflection when it was time to improve the strategy.

We remain committed to active methodologies that prepare our pupils to understand the digital world in a critical, creative and responsible way.

In Year 2, we continue programming our future step by step! 

It feels like we are pirates!

In Physical Education, our students of 1º,2º,3° could enjoy this activity in the unit “Different ways to move”. 

They felt like pirates, they had to face to different challenges and went to the pirate boat. 

We could do this activity in perfect conditions because of the sport center “Jimenez de la Espada” we share with the IES. 

All the students really enjoyed this game.

We learn to think like scientists in 1st Grade

In Science class, our 1st Grade students have become a team of scientists to discover... how plants grow!
Over the past few weeks, we have been working on a project in which the children investigate what plants need to grow healthy. To do this, we have designed a simple classroom experiment that allows us to compare different situations and observe what happens in each case.

We have planted several seeds under different conditions: one plant with light and water, one plant without water, and one plant without light. Throughout the days, the students carefully observe what happens to each one and record the results. Which one grows the most? Which one changes color? What happens when something important is missing?

Beyond planting seeds, this project is allowing us to take our first steps toward the scientific method. In 1st Grade, we don't just learn content; we learn to think, investigate, and discover. And we do this by experimenting, asking questions, comparing results, and sharing our ideas.

Future Engineers: Our AQUAE STEM Journey in 6th Grade

This term, our Year 6 students have stepped into the shoes of scientists and engineers by taking part in the exciting AQUAE STEM Project.

But what exactly is AQUAE STEM? In short, it is a dynamic educational programme designed to boost scientific and technological talent among young students. The main objective is to challenge our pupils to use their knowledge of science and technology to solve real-world problems. It’s not just about finding the right answer; it’s about learning how to ask the right questions, working as a team, and developing the critical thinking skills that are essential for the innovators of tomorrow.
Our students have been working hard and have already navigated their way through the three main phases of the project. Here is a quick look at what they have been up to:

Phase 1: Introduction - Getting Our Feet Wet
In the first phase, the goal was simple: get familiar with the project's mechanics. The students were introduced to the core concepts and the challenges ahead. They explored the basic principles they would need to understand, ensuring everyone had a solid foundation to build upon. It was all about sparking curiosity and preparing their minds for the creative work to come.

Class C

Phase 2: Construction - Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
Next came the really hands-on part: the construction phase. Here, the students had to put their ingenuity to the test. Working in teams, they were presented with specific problems that needed a practical solution. This stage was a fantastic display of collaboration, as they had to share ideas, delegate tasks, and combine their efforts to build and create. It was amazing to see how they learned to rely on each other's strengths to overcome obstacles.
