  Our kids are used to develop different activities throughout the school year, like Carnival or The worker woman day. We might employ this days to help them know more about the human being. The more they know, the better they could understand the importance it has. Unless we’re able to move them to the struggle that has meant achieving these achievements, we’ll not be able to get kids to respect and maintain them over time.   That’s our motivation to show them the whole process women had fought along the centuries to achieve this goal.   https://origins.osu.edu/connecting-history/international-womens-day Yolanda Frías

At the end of years 5 and 6 we always like to create projects that get children closer to Art through Social Sciences, and one of the activities that we are doing with our students at the moment is the recreation of Art paintings and sculptures that we have studied previously, but this time they will do it at home. Even though we are going through moments of extreme difficulties, there are still ways to engage with art through virtual museum tours and social media. This is why we asked our students to recreate their favorite works of art using everyday items around their homes. The results can be varied, creative, and are going to last on our students´ memories forever as a funny way of living art. This is a way of combining knowledge, concepts and methodology from two different areas such as Social Science (history) and Arts and Crafts. Learning about famous artists can be lots of fun and a great opportunity for children to explore different techniques and mediums, a...

Our pupils should know the importance of history for their own future. If we learn from our mistakes, we won’t make them again. On the 26 th  April 1937, the village of Guernica (Vizcaya) was bombed by the German Condor Legion and the Italian Legionary Air Force. It was a disaster for the village and a reflection of what a war means. In this project four subjects are going to work together: Social Science, Spanish, French and Arts. At the beginning, in Social Science, they are going to get information on different websites about where Guernica is, its history, its geography, its population,… and also about the bombs in Guernica. Moreover, in Spanish, they are going to create a biography of Picasso and some of his most well-known paintings. Later, in French, the teacher is going to introduce Guernica and also Picasso by using the following presentation: https://prezi.com/9rilewt3nb-b/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy&rc=ex0share  → in French htt...
