Playtime with Mondrian: Shapes and Primary Colours
🟥🟦🟨 In January, we’ve been taking inspiration from the artist Piet Mondrian to continue exploring art and all its possibilities. We’ve looked closely at his work, learned to recognize the primary colours (red, blue, and yellow), and played games to identify shapes like squares, circles, and triangles. What amazing little artists we have in our classroom! 🧑🎨👩🎨 Art in Kindergarten is a wonderful window into the world — and we’re enjoying it so much! 🎨✨
🎄✨ Christmas Party at CEIP San Luis ✨🎄
To say goodbye to 2024 properly, we celebrated our Christmas party filled with excitement, laughter, and unforgettable moments. 🧙 We started the day with a magician’s show that left us speechless with amazing tricks and plenty of humour that had both kids and adults laughing. 🎶 Then, our students took the stage to share the performances they had prepared with our music teacher Noelia: Christmas songs and dances that moved us and made everyone smile. You’re true artists! 🍫 After that, it was time for our Christmas breakfast, with hot chocolate and traditional sweets provided by the school. Some families … ➕
Exploring Colours and Textures with a Sensory Mural
These past weeks in the Infant classroom, we’ve been exploring autumn colours and textures in a very fun and engaging way. We created large collaborative murals using recycled materials such as egg cartons, paper rolls, and cardboard pieces of different shapes and sizes. 🍂🍁 The little ones touched, glued, painted… and above all, explored with all their senses! 🖌️👃👀It was an activity that stimulated their creativity, fine motor skills, and curiosity about the world around them. The result was as original as they are! 🌈💡

First Reading Buddies Session of the Season

School Trip to Enjoy Van Gogh: Greatest Hits
A different kind of Friday.No classroom, but still learning.No textbooks, but much yearning.No desks, but eyes wide open. Lights down. Screens aglow.The paintings breathe.The night swirls slow.The sunflowers beam,Van Gogh speaks in dream. Little ones in awe.Older kids take pause.Even grown-ups feel the cause. Art we can’t touch, but still stays.In the mind.In the chest.In the talks on the bus, as we rest. An experience not easy to forget.For what we saw,and what we’ve kept. 💛 Thank you, Van Gogh, for drawing us near.We’ll meet you again —in our classes, our sketches, and all we hold dear.
