Suggested Activities: Two ideas on how to do your Self-Portrait

Hello, everyone! Following our Quiz, I'm leaving here two suggestions on how to take your self-portrait to another level. Hope you all enjoy them!

ACTIVITY #1

Objective: Make your self-portrait by dividing your face in two halves -
i) How does the world sees you?
ii) How do you see yourself?

Step 1: Take a selfie or draw your self-portrait.

Step 2: Cut your self-portrait in half.

Step 3: Complete your face (based on the photo or on the drawing) with a representation of how you see yourself.

Step 4: Share with us the results!

ACTIVITY #2

Objective: Make your self-portrait using the outline of your own silhouette.

Step 1: With the help of a picture of your face, use your pencil to draw the outline of your head after putting the selected photo under a blank paper

Step 2:  Unleash your imagination and draw whatever represents you inside the silhouette of your head.

Step 3: Share with us the results!

WELCOME BACK, 5TH GRADE!!!

Hello, everyone! So it's BLOG TIME! 

Here are some pictures to remind you of two activities we did throughout the past weeks. Our Lego Class and our Valentine's Day celebrations were great! Check it out!

Students had to build a bridge together using LEGO bricks.

They divided their tasks throughout the group.

Our Valentine's Day celebrations involved playing "Fly the Cupid!" 

Each pair had to let loose the balloon...

And let it fly around the rope.

Let's keep sharing our experiences!

Art Gallery 101

Hello, everyone! In our class, last week, we created our own artwork using many different art forms, including painting, drawing and sculpting! Check out some of the results!

Some students worked with painting and sculpting...

Others decided to draw...

And, thus, we could explore the art's classroom together!

Drawing and sculpting like professional artists!

Some students brought material from home to improve their creations!

P.S: What is the connection between your artwork and the sculptures and paintings we saw earlier this year at CCBB?

Do you know the Braille Alphabet?

Hello, everyone! Today in our class we put ourselves in a blind person's shoes for a moment. The teacher brought us a blindfold so we could challenge each other!

We guided each other through the hallway...

Bumped into some of the lockers...

Walked carefully...

But, eventually, all of us found the drinking fountain!

Food for thought!

Hello, everyone! It is music time!
Watch the videos below and think about how they can be related. Don't forget to post a comment of what you thought!


The first video is from the movie "The Greatest Showman", which shows the story of a Circus and its peculiar members. What do you think is the message of this song?

The second song is from singer Kelly Clarkson, winner of the American Idol. Listen to the song and, then, google the lyrics. What do you think is the message of this song?

Remember to write the words you know in each song and bring them to class to share with your friends.

World Environment Day

Hello, everyone!
Today we worked at Teresiano's garden, with Martha and Letícia, to celebrate the World Environment Day! Our job was to make Seed Bombs! Sneak a peek!

First, Letícia explained how to make the Seed Bombs...

We made Seed Bombs in all sizes - big and small! 

After she explained, we had fun putting our hands in the mud!

But what we really loved was to throw our Seed Bombs near Queen's River!

Seed Bombs enrich the soil and help other plants to grow! If you have any chance, make one at home and help the environment around your house!
