English Day
26-04-2021
No dia 23 de Abril nas altas muralhas de um castelo abriu-se a entrada. Com grande entusiasmo Magic Dragon aguardava a chegada das crianças para as conduzir numa viagem virtual pela Escócia durante o dia. Actividades lúdicas espelharam aspectos culturais do referido país, para os quais os alunos foram sensibilizados em dias anteriores.
De início, ecos de montanhas e paisagens de beleza indescritíveis soaram através da música de bagpipes dos gaiteiros das Associações de Gaita de Foles e Xuventude de Galícia. No ar saltaram melodias e palmas, a alegria brilhava nos olhos de todos. Foi com igual divertimento que as crianças reproduziram os passos das Highland dances.
Jogos tradicionais realizados no recreio trouxeram uma nota de competição e destreza. As lendas foram abordadas na história de Chani MacBain No such thing as Nessie, apresentada em teatro de fantoches e em Inglês.
O colégio e a editora Usborne promoveram a feira do livro infantil em Inglês nos dias 22 e 23. Toda a equipa da Creche e Jardim de Infância se envolveu com jovial empenho, tornando possível este dia tão especial.
On 23rd April the walls of an imaginary castle opened. Inside it, Magic Dragon waited the childen's arrival with great enthusiasm, being their guide on a school day trip to Scotland. Meaningful and fun activities displayed some cultural aspects of the country, these were explained to the children a few days beforehand.
Echoes of towering mountains and breathtaking beautiful landscapes came to us through the music of the bagpipes played by two pipers of the Associations of Gaita de Foles and Xuventude from Galícia. Tunes and claps emerge in the air and glittering eyes showed the joyful power of the celtic music. Equally amusing were the moments in which the children tried to imitate the Highland dances. Traditional games were played on the playground, adding a spark of competition and skill to the event. Legends were also included in the story of Chani MacBain No such thing as Nessie, this was performed by the English teachers in a puppet show.
Planalto School and Usborn publisher held an English Book Fair on the 22nd and 23rd.
The whole Planalto Infantil team was deeply involved in making sure this would be a very special day.
