Project-based learning and language

Wheels, models, and language: A journey on wheels in 4th grade

In the 4th grade classroom, we experienced a project closure that is not forgotten. Within the Catalan Language subject, the students have immersed themselves in the world of skaters, bikers, and rollers. But how have we transformed vocabulary and grammar into something tangible?

The answer has been the creation of spectacular models. Through collaborative work, the boys and girls have designed scenes full of movement and detail, where they had to plan, explain, and argue their creative decisions in Catalan.

This project reminds us that when creativity and learning go hand in hand, effort becomes pure motivation. The result is not just beautiful models, but a mastery of language applied to their own passions.

What do you think of these works of art? Which of these urban sports is your favorite at home?

Art as school identity

Hallways with life: Creativity fills the Athenaeum

At school, hallways are not just passageways; they are canvases where the identity of our students is expressed. Recently, both in Early Childhood and Primary, we have carried out a visual transformation of the center through collaborative murals.

Using textures, stickers, markers, and lots of paint, each group has contributed their vision to make the school a more welcoming place. The process of painting a mural teaches children to:

• Respect the shared space.

• Collaborate for a common aesthetic goal.

• Express emotions through color and form.

Walking around the school now is like taking a journey through the imagination of our children. Thanks to all the little artists for filling our daily lives with color!

What type of mural or artistic theme would you like to decorate the center in the future? We are listening!

Emotional education and coexistence

The Forgiveness Box: A tool for growing in empathy

Educating also means supporting the management of conflicts and emotions. At the Ateneu, we seek positive and respectful ways for students to learn to restore relationships when there is a disagreement in the classroom. From this intent arises "The Message Box".

This initiative allows children to express, through written words, when they need to apologize or when they feel someone should apologize to them. Later, in a calm atmosphere, we read the messages and search for solutions together.

This simple gesture has a profound impact:

1. Validates everyone's emotions.

2. Encourages assertive communication.

3. Teaches the responsibility of our actions.

We are very proud to see how our students learn to take care of others and to build a healthy coexistence.

What do you think is the most important thing when asking for forgiveness sincerely?

Community participation (Festivities)

Let's prepare for Carnival! This year we become Mimes

Valentine's DayFebruary 14 is approaching and in the Ateneu the festive and costume spirit is already in the air. This year, our community will transform into a great stage full of expression and poetic silence: we will dress up as mimes! 🤡🤍

Carnival is a golden opportunity to work on body expression and shared creativity between families and school. We have already opened the registration period (until Monday!) to be part of this celebration that promises to be magical.

Prepare the white makeup, the striped shirts, and above all, a lot of enthusiasm to laugh and enjoy together a Carnival full of excitement.

Have you registered yet? Leave us a comment if you are already preparing the details of your costume!

Promotion of reading

Reading Pairs: Connections that are born between books

Reading is a pleasure, but sharing reading is an adventure. Before the Christmas holidays, we launched one of the most cherished projects of the center: the Reading Pairs.

In this project, higher-year students become "mentors" for the younger ones (the "mentees"). In their first meeting, they created their commitment card and shared their literary tastes. This bond goes beyond technical reading; it is about:

• Creating positive references for the younger ones.

• Encourage responsibility and care in the elders.

• Create spaces of calm and shared silence.

Seeing a godparent telling a story to their godchild is one of the most tender and powerful images we can experience at school. The love for books is transmitted better when there is an emotional bond involved.

What book do you think is an "essential" to recommend to a reading godchild or godparent?
