Welcome to our Blog

Hello my friends!! We are students of the second level of Childhood Education. We study the cognitive, emotional, social and sexual development of children. Also, the autonomy, the habits and the routines. We organise activities for children, such as songs, stories, games,... in English and Spanish. In this blog, we offer interactive resources in English to use with children. Furthermore, we will prepare some group dynamics and we will also deal with some interesting English speaking countries festivities and customs, such as Halloween, Christmas Holiday, Valentines Day, Easter and Father´s Day and Mother´s Day. Thank you very much for visiting our blog.

It's that Time of the School Year Again ;-(

Yes, exams. I'm sorry. Try to focus on what you'll get after so much effort and pain. I happened to come across by pure chance with this presentation about EFFORT and what it takes to succeed.

Another cute presentation comes now. Will some cultural shifts in our fast changing world have an impact on our learning as educators? How can we start thinking differently about the learning process?

The Tree

I would like you, dear students, to see this tree-device as a metaphor of your learning process.

 Visit this link to find out what the tree is about.

 The tree is a helpful unifying device linking theory and practice. The BRANCHES represent what the student needs to learn, the TRUNK represents what the student brings with them to the learning context and the ROOTS represent the theories to be considered in teaching.

Teel Me and I'll Forget

Whenever you come across a new word that you don't understand, here in a blogpost or in a book/article, pull out a dictionary and look it up!

Don't ask the teacher, be autonomous and find out the answers for your questions. 

It takes time but that's the way to learn almost everything you need for your English classes and for your daily life.

The 5 Stages of Learning

Dear students, this time we are going to think and reflect on the stages of Learning.


First, watch this funny video and try to identify what an average student or teacher would say in each of the 5 stages of learning.



After watching the video, take a look at this interactive presentation, it's quite illustrative of the learning process, now seriously ;-)

The ideas and images for this post comes from David Mearns wonderful blog. His post is worth reading!
