Designing a Video Game

In Science, our Year 3 students have been exploring robotics and programming through the exciting challenge of designing their own video games. They learned how robots and computers follow instructions, solve problems, and interact with users.

Using creativity and teamwork, the students planned characters, levels, and game rules. They also developed basic coding skills and discovered how technology can be used to create fun and interactive experiences.

This project helped them improve their logical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and digital competence while enjoying the world of robotics and game design.

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! 

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! 

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.
