🍇 ¡Nos vamos a vendimiar!
Hemos empezado el día con los pequeños de Primer Ciclo viviendo un auténtico festival sensorial alrededor de las uvas: descubriendo texturas, pintando con ellas, probando sabores, experimentando y dejando que cada sentido forme parte del aprendizaje.
Una mañana para descubrir la vendimia de una forma muy especial: tocando, probando y experimentando. 🍇

🍇 We’re off to the grape harvest!
We started the day with our youngest Early Years children enjoying a sensory experience with grapes: discovering different textures, painting with them, tasting different flavours, experimenting and engaging all their senses in the learning process.
A special way to discover the grape harvest through touching, tasting and exploring. 🍇

¿Y si para crear arte solo necesitáramos pintura, ganas de experimentar y un poco de imaginación? 🎨
En 5 años hemos conocido a Jackson Pollock y hemos experimentado con algunas de sus técnicas: salpicaduras, pinceladas y pintura soplada.
Una primera aproximación al arte abstracto… y muchas ganas de probar, equivocarnos y volver a intentarlo.
Así empezamos nuestra unidad de indagación «Cómo nos expresamos».

What if all we needed to create art was some paint, a willingness to experiment and a little imagination? 🎨
In Year 1, we have been discovering Jackson Pollock and experimenting with some of his techniques: splattering, brushstrokes and blow painting.
A first introduction to abstract art… and plenty of enthusiasm to try, make mistakes and try again.
And so, we begin our inquiry unit, “How We Express Ourselves”.

Gracias por estar al otro lado de cada pregunta, cada reto y cada pequeño logro. ❤️
Feliz Día Mundial de la Docencia.

¡Menudas vistas!
Así celebraron la semana pasada nuestros alumnos de MYP 2 a MYP 5 la 8.ª edición del Global Be Well Day de Cognita: disfrutando de una jornada en plena naturaleza en Navacerrada, con la Bola del Mundo y La Maliciosa como protagonistas y unas acompañantes muy especiales: ¡las cabras montesas! Una forma diferente de conectar con el entorno, mantenerse activos y disfrutar del bienestar al aire libre.

What a view!
Last week, our MYP 2 to MYP 5 students celebrated the 8th edition of Cognita’s Global Be Well Day by spending the day in nature in Navacerrada, with La Bola del Mundo and La Maliciosa as their backdrop and some very special companions along the way: Spanish ibexes!
A different way to connect with nature, stay active and enjoy the benefits of being outdoors. 🌿

Leer es mucho más que descifrar palabras. Es comprender, imaginar, hacerse preguntas y descubrir nuevas formas de mirar el mundo.
En CEM, trabajamos la lectura desde pequeños para que aprender a leer vaya también de la mano de disfrutar leyendo. ❤️
¿Estáis de acuerdo? ¿Qué hacéis en casa para fomentar el hábito lector?

Reading is so much more than decoding words. It means understanding, imagining, asking questions and discovering new ways of seeing the world.
At CEM, we encourage reading from an early age, helping children learn to read while also enjoying books. ❤️
Do you agree? What do you do at home to encourage a love of reading?

Muchos kilómetros, paisajes increíbles, cansancio, risas y tiempo para compartir fuera del aula.
¡Enhorabuena, chicos! 💙
