The plurilingüe team chose ¨The Ría Travels…¨ as our project this year. The project is related both to the Library Project on Jules Verne and to Gulliver´s Travels, since it´s an imaginary TRAVEL. It included different activities in English and Art classes in all three educational cycles.
We began with ¨The Ría Travels to London¨ in the superior cycle’s English classes. We
talked about famous London landmarks as well as past tense verb forms (past simple in 5th and
past simple/continuous in 6th). Then we watched a video ¨Mr. Bean in London¨ and wrote a
summary using the past tense forms we studied.
We also talked about and colored pictures of London landmarks in the first cycle´s art
classes. We then cut out, pasted, and colored passports so the students could ¨travel¨ to
London.
With the middle and superior cycles, we continued with ¨The Ría Travels to Volcanoes¨
and ¨The Ría Travels to Yellowstone¨. In English class we learned the parts of the volcano,
geological features of Yellowstone National Park, and wildlife that lives in Yellowstone National
Park. In Art class, we made model volcanoes and clay, complete with all of the different parts of
the volcanoes. In the beginning cycle, we also learned the parts of volcano in English class and
drew volcanoes in Art class.
Next we decided to work on ¨The Ría Travels to Natural Features¨ with the superior
cycle in English class. We reviewed the comparatives and superlatives and used them to talk
about different mountains ranges, waterfalls, glaciers, and rock formations.
In Art class with superior cycle we made projects with the theme ¨The Ría Travels to the
Moon¨. We created moon footprints with clay. We also drew and designed rocket ships.
In 5th grade we completed several project related to ¨The Ría Travels to the Center of
the Earth¨. We made fossils and dinosaurs out of clay and drew geodes with glitter.
In the middle cycle we focused on project with the theme ¨The Ría Travels 20,000
Leagues Under the Sea¨. In English classes we learned sea vocabulary. In Art classes we
created a sea diarama.
In superior cycle English classes we made a writing project called ¨The Ría Travels to
the Australian Open¨. We learned about connectors and used them to write a summary of the
2022 Australian Open
