English lessons at Carmen Conde
Investigating Teddies
Hi everyone! Bunnet has also been investigating about how English is taught at Carmen Conde School. The first thing he discovered is that our students of 1st year are following a bilingual syllabus. This means they learn some subjects (Science, Art and crafts, English and Physical Education) in English; to be more precise they have eleven hours of lessons in English every week. We are all very enthusiastic about this project!
The rest of the courses, from 2nd to 6th year, aren’t in the bilingual project and, consequently, have less hours of English exposure a week, three lessons. However we try to make the most of it!
Bunnet has met the English teachers in our school and he has visited our English Department where you can find lots of resources (books, tales, magazines, videos, dvds, posters, games, etc) including an interactive board.
Teddy also entered some classes in which he found out that our students enjoy English lessons a lot. We sing songs and chants, play games and say riddles and tongue twisters. We also read and tell stories, watch dvds and work with computers. We love to speak English and to learn about English traditions and way of life. That’s why we investigate different aspects of anglo-saxon culture. For example, in the third cycle we have recently made a mural about unique buildings in the United Kingdom such as the Big Ben. We have also investigated about healthy food, important cities and castles, among other things. We use all the murals to decorate the classrooms and the walls in the corridors so that everybody can see our pupils’ great work.
Besides, next month we will be celebrating the English Week which will be focused on London city. We are already looking forward to it!
Here you have some photos of Bunnet around our school.

Music lessons
Hello again,
Bunnet has enjoyed music classes with us. In our music lessons we do lots of things with our music teacher, Rodrigo. We learn musical language (quaver, semiquaver, crotcher,...) and we also study the instruments and their families, as well as the different sections in an orchestra: the brass section, the percussion section, the wind sectino and the string section.
On the other hand, nowadays we are learning how to play the recorder and we practice and play popular and modern songs. Besides, in special occasions (carnival, peace day,...), we prepare short dances and choreographies, and we sing songs for the rest of the students in the school.
We have an interactive white board in the music room which makes our lessons much more interesting and fun.
Here you have some pictures. Enjoy them!

Art at Pulham School
We also had a very exciting Easter hat making art activity. Mrs. Read ordered lots of lovely materials for us to use to make our hats and we spent an afternoon making them. Our parents were invited and Mrs. Brooks and Mrs. Lange helped us too. At the end of the afternoon we had a parade in the hall and a raffle. It was a lovely afternoon and we made some wonderful hats. As you can see we do a wide variety of art activities at Pulham Primary School!
Here are some of us in our hats getting ready to go home. Carlos had an excellent afternoon!
Art in Class 3
Children in Class 3 do art lessons with Mrs. Read every other Thursday. This term our topic has been about the rainforests and Mrs. Read has planned some really exciting art lessons linked to this. We have been looking at pictures of, designing and making our own tribal shields. We have had great fun as you can see from some of these pictures. We are going to finish these off after the holidays and will post some pictures on the blog!
Carlos investigates
Over the last few weeks Carlos has been finding out about Art at Pulham Primary School.
Carlos has been going to lots of different classes over the last few weeks and seeing some of the activities we have been doing in art.
We have an art store where we keep all the equipment like paint, brushes, glue, glitter, material and Mrs. Read is the teacher who is in charge of Art so she likes to go around the classes and see the art work children have done, talk to them and the teachers about their work and sometimes she even gets the chance to watch some art lessons too. It is also her job to order materials that we like to use in art.
We sometimes have special events that use art for example we had an international World Book Day where each teacher chose a book from a different country and then children did some activities about them. Lots of the activities involved art for example in Class 3 children worked as a team to create a scene from the story of 'The Tiger Child'.
We often have displays of our work, including art up around the classroom and the school. Pictures of these to follow after the Easter holidays.

Carlos has had a very busy few weeks investigating the role of the Deputy Head at Pulham Primary School.
4 children from Class 4 Georgia, Amelia, Seth and Ruairi thought of some questions to ask Mr. Carlyle about teaching and his job as Deputy Head and then they interviewed him. Here are the questions they asked and the answers Mr. Carlyle gave.
Can you give us one word to tell us about your job? Interesting.
How did you become a teacher? I have been a teacher for thirteen years and I have worked in lots of different schools. I came to Pulham two years ago from Diss Junior School.
What is it like being a Deputy Head and having a class? I am always very busy and sometimes it can be a bit tricky not just teaching but I really enjoy it.
Do you enjoy being a teacher? I love teaching because it is really fun and every day is different.
Are you a strict teacher? I tell people off when I have to but I have fun with my class too.
What time do you go home? Generally I go home at around five thirty. As I am Deputy Head I often have meetings to go to after school or jobs to do with the Headteacher. I also run clubs for the children after school some evenings too.
What subjects do you like teaching the best? I really enjoy teaching English and PE.
Thanks Mr. Carlyle for answering our questions!

Reward System at Carmen Conde school
Hello everyone! Bunnet has been investigating the reward system in our school and this is what he’s found out: In our school, every student starts the school year with a number of points that he/she can lose (12 points). In every class there is a register where any teacher can check the number of points of each pupil in that class. Any teacher can make the decision of substracting one, two or three points to a student. There are some rules students have to know in order not to lose points, such as no shouting or running in the corridors, respect the rest of students, walk on your right in the corridors or respect the teacher. All this rules are written in a poster in every class. If a student loses all his/her points, his/her teacher, together with the head team, will decide a punishment for him/her. On the contrary, if a student keeps all his/her points until the end of one term, he/she will get a price. Here you have some pictures.
