As we already smell Christmas in the air, we decided to decorate our classroom.
We have a Christmas tree made of chestnuts.We learned how to make snowflakes of paper. Look what wonderful snowflakes we cut!
Do you know who is Rudolph?
Here it is! It's Santa's reindeer:Now we're ready for Christmas, would you like to visit our classroom?
Merry Christmas!
Last week we have been helping Santa really a lot!!!
Let's see what we have done!We helped him to decorate and colour present boxes and wrappings...
Of course then we had to help him with the list of wishes. So, all the toys got in to Santa's sack.
We realised how much work Santa has to do... And we decided to make a little army of Santa's helpers so that they could replace us sometimes when we will be occupied with... being good.
Here we are! Starting from the youngest ones. Little Santas are being created!!!
This is the entire army of little helpers!
Dear Santa, we know how busy you are but we hope you have time to visit us this year because we have been soooo good!!!!
Last Thursday (26th of November) we have invited the parents to prepare a Portuguese traditional recipe…so we made it with their wonderful help…so we have all decided to prepare the famous -Formigos or Mexidos - There’s no English equivalent for these names! Anyway Formigas are actually ants in Portuguese, but we assure you won’t find any in this delicious Christmas dessert, that is very popular in Northern Portugal, especially in Minho and in Trás-os-montes
INGREDIENTS:
2 l water
500g bread (the bread used in this recipe shouldn’t be too soft)
3 cinnamon sticks
3 eggs
125g of butter
50 g raisins
100 g walnuts, chopped
100 g pine nuts
3 soupspoons of honey
200g of sugar
1 goblet of port wine
1teasoopn of salt
Lemon zest
Ground cinnamon
Instructions:
1. Break the bread into very small pieces with your hands.
2. Boil the water with all the ingredients, except for the bread and the dried fruits, for a while.
3. Add the chopped walnuts, the pine nuts and raisins and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Add the bread and let it cook for some time until the mixture starts thickening and becomes uniform. Stir several times with a wooden spoon to avoid lumps.
5. Discard the lemon zest. Pour into individual dishes or onto saucers, which is more traditional, and decorate with ground cinnamon forming stencilled patterns on top of the mixture.
6. Serve warm or cold. The mixture will set into a solid mass and can be eaten in small cubes.
Enjoy it!!!

Now you can watch a short movie representing our fantastic city:)
We hope you've enjoyed it! And now...would you like to visit us?
Today we read a story written last school year written by the pupils from the 4th A and C and all the other school partners from the Comenius Project. There were 7 Intercultural Stories and this is only one of them. Soon there will be more Stories available here.
Now you can read all over again and research in the internet about the geographical and historical facts included in the story…
Have fun

Foi a partir de uma reflexão pessoal/colectiva e profissional, que se começou a rebater sobre a mudança de práticas educativas mais tradicionais, para praticas educativas mais inovadoras e colaborativas. Para que desse modo, pudessem incentivar ainda mais a imaginação, a leitura, a escrita criativa, reforçar o uso de novas tecnologias, favorecer a iniciativa, a reflexão, a espontaneidade, a interrogação, de maneira a promover e vivenciar a cooperação, o diálogo, o sentido de partilha e de solidariedade entre todos.
Com a introdução dos blogs de turmas, pretendemos apresentar as várias etapas de um projecto desenvolvido no nosso colégio, na sala de aula, em grupo ou mesmo de um trabalho individual. Queremos divulgar as diversas actividades lectivas que irão decorrer ao longo do ano lectivo. Difundir ao mesmo tempo, as actividades e trabalhos dos alunos nas diferentes áreas do conhecimento. Aspiramos desenvolver nos alunos um espírito mais crítico, mais justo e tolerante perante o Outro. Aumentar a curiosidade tecnológica dos nossos alunos. Desejamos ajudar a comunidade educativa com esclarecimentos e informações elaboradas pelos próprios alunos ou pelos professores. Ambicionamos desenvolver habilidades e competências nas diferentes áreas de conhecimento, relevar a importância da interdisciplinaridade e aplicar os conteúdos estabelecidos no currículo. Trabalhar com imagens/desenhos criados ou registados pelos próprios alunos, ampliando as suas habilidades cognitivas na área da criação. Almejamos aproximar os pais/encarregados de educação do colégio. Ansiamos trocar experiências, ampliar a aula e a visão de mundo. E finalmente fomentar ainda mais, experiências interculturais e ambientais com outros realidades nacionais e internacionais.
Deste modo, o professor será uma espécie de mediador neste processo, onde deverá levar os alunos a alcançar uma maior autonomia necessária para aquisição de aprendizagens significativas e possibilitar uma maior reflexão crítica e reinterpretação de conceitos e práticas educativas. Irá no nosso ponto de vista provocar uma maior motivação nos alunos, e por fim aprofundará as relações entre toda a comunidade educativa.
São assim do nosso ponto de vista inúmeras as vantagens da utilização dos blogs de turma. Por isso esperemos que apreciem...
