“Juguem amb la Llengua”
For a few years, we have modified the activity of Reading Workshop Complementary activity and we call it “Juguem amb la Llengua”.
This change is because the first ten minutes in the morning and afternoon, when we start the classes we already dedicate them to reading and therefore, we consider that we do not need a weekly hour dedicated to this activity.
For this reason, at Initial cycle we have extended it to language games, both oral and written, as well as reading activities.
Reading activities will also be done, as usual, in the classroom as well as in the school library. We periodically use the library to promote the taste for reading and develop the reading habit, either by reading the whole group the same title so that you can do a collective work during the reading or each student chooses a title from it classroom or school library.
“Juguem amb la Llengua” is a complementary activity carried out by the students of Primary Initial Cycle, 1st. and 2nd
“Ara Escric"
For the same reason mentioned above, we have thought it appropriate to modify the Complementary Activity of Reading Workshop and convert it to "Ara Escric".
This change is also justified because, in our Improvement Proposals for the previous year, we proposed to improve the level of Written Competency of our students.
Written expression is one of the integrating competences par excellence, because it brings together in a single set of activities the main cognitive processes that intervene in a school, academic and professional context, from the management of information to the argumentation
We understand writing as a process and not just as a product. We do not limit the development of this competence to the grammatical correction and the formal and presentation aspects, but rather consider it the environment in which children play an integral part in their creativity, their abilities research and treatment of information, its critical and analytical thinking, its argumentative capacities and its understanding of diverse contents, without forgetting its organizational and time management capabilities.
Writing learning begins in Childhood Education and continues throughout all levels of Primary Education. In addition, it is present in all areas of the curriculum. That is why written expression must be encouraged not only from the language areas but in all areas. All the faculty of the center must be involved ("All teachers are teachers of language") and within the programming of all areas' must include activities aimed at promoting interest, use and taste for the writing We need to train qualified writers so that they can communicate, understand, learn, enjoy themselves ...
For this reason, in this complementary area we will work on different aspects of the language in order to acquire fluidity and the organization of texts appropriate to the age, writing different types of texts, observing the correct spelling, and expanding the vocabulary. It should be clarified that in this area activities will be carried out in any of the three languages present at the school, especially Catalan and Spanish.
I now write is a complementary activity that students of the Middle and Upper Secondary School, from 3rd to 6th, complete.
