PROVINCIAL ATHLETICS FINAL

The students in Fifth grade received the pleasant surprise to classify for the Provincial Athletics Final, which was held at the CGTD on June 13th 2018. Some students decided to repeat their athletic tests and others changed them but everyone participated. They had a great time motivating each other, sharing snacks, and feeling accomplished. They all received a fantastic medal for all their efforts.

ATHLETICS

A few days ago, fifth grader shared a wonderful experience with other neighboring schools.  They had a day of athletics.  They visited the CGTD and participated in various athletic competition such as: the long jump, shot put, 60 meter sprints, 500 meter sprints, races, and the vortex ball throw. They all learned team management and learned how to be team players.  It was a great day!

EASTER AT SCHOOL

 This year, Easter in Chancelas was very special.  We brought together all areas of English Arts and Crafts, and Physical Education and organized an Easter Egg Hunt.  The results were incredible. All primary students participated in the Easter Egg Hunt throughout the entire school. They not only received a delicious sweet as a prize but also gained in an exciting experience of cooperative learning and friendship.

THE FOREST OF WORDS

Any corner in the school is useful resource of learning.  Our small little corner is used to improve vocabulary and it's called The Forest of Words.  In this little forest we learn new words related with different topics which change along the school year.  Here we will show you a small representation of them.

TENNIS GAMES

Last month in March, third graders and fourth graders enjoyed a recreational outing in the tennis courts in A Caeira.  They shared a memorable experience with other children from other schools.  They had fun and learned loads about team game play.

GARDENING

The Garden area has become in this school term an important educational tool to broaden our knowledge of plants and herbs.  Daily climate observations, preparing the land to sow, planting and cultivation of sprouts and even our very own compost bin have all motivated the children to explore further in this matter.  Children are encouraged to deposit their organic rubbish in our compost which we will later convert into fertilizer for our garden patch. 

BODY VOCABULARY

In our physical education class, we don’t only use our bodies to exercise but we also use our bodies to create vocabulary words in English!
