I come here with the information of the week!

Hi everyone! I am Silvia and this week it is my turn of giving you the news. Yes, you have guessed it, I am the JOURNALIST!

This week we have continued working in the LOMCE and, at last, we have done the GAME. Because of that, this week has been a bit hard for our stars, but they have worked very hard and we are very proud of them.

On Monday 20^th we developed the strategy that we went to use during the week in order to learn all the questions that our colleagues had posted the week before and, for doing the work more fair for the stars too, the coach (Marina Crevillén) asked us in order that our stars were studying all the week and in the weekend they only had to revise the questions.

And, finally… the big day arrives!

On Monday 27^th we started the game using a version of the traditional game “Snakes and Ladders” in which after each movement, Linda did a question to our stars and, if they pass, continue playing and, if they fail, the turn pass to the stars of other group. Meanwhile the rest of the group was encouraging to our stars, each group in their own way, all of them very interesting and originals.

Finally, on Thursday 30^th, as we could not finish the game the previous day, we did the final part of the game and I must say that, at least in our case, we have lived the game with more stress that the previous day, I suppose that because it was the end of the game and, although we had a good position, the situation could change in any moment. But I have now said enough. Do you want to know who won? Well… the winner was (sound of drums)… POWER TEACHERS!

Yes, we were the winners! Can you believe it? We are very proud of our stars (Alba and Anthea) because they did a great job and even if they had not won, we know that they made a big effort and we must be very proud and grateful to them because of that.

Now I am going to recommend you two different blogs.

On the one way we have the blog PUERTAS A LA IMAGINACIÓN, created by a teacher of art, although, even if the blog is focused on this subject, we can find a lot of tools and activity that we can apply to other subjects too. For this reason I have chosen this blog, because in it you can find manual activities, activities in which the children can use the ICT, tools 2.0, digital books about plastic arts and a lot of things more that the teachers (and even the mothers, fathers and/or babysitters in some occasions and aspects) can use in order to make the teaching and the learning more dynamic, funny and modern. Are you interested? Well, here you can find more information about it: http://puertasalaimaginacion.blogspot.com.es/

On the other hand this week I am going to recommend the blog of the group KEEP CALM AND KEEP ORGANIZED. I have chosen this blog because I think that they deserve it (and not only because they have had the second place in the LOMCE’s game, although congratulations for this) because in the posts on their blog, I can see their hard-work and I think that the way in which they explain the activities of each week is fantastic. In addition, I love the blog’s design too. I think that it has a great style and ha letter clear and easy to read, a factor that in my opinion is very important. So if you want to look around it, here is the direction: http://keepcalmandkeeporganized.blogspot.com.es/
