After having bought all the ingredients that we need to make “the mona” (a Catalan
traditional cake that we eat at Easter) we start making it. We have done groups with boys
and girls of 3, 4 and 5 years old.
Children of these ages had a great time preparing breakfast for their older classmates of
the school and you can see here the result.
They like a lot!!!
The next day, we organized a gymkhana in the school to celebrate the arrival of spring
and good weather. All the pupils of the school joined it divided in different groups. We
have worked on traditional and cooperative games, in order to all the children learned
and practiced some of Catalan traditions and also the importance of working in teams to
reach common objectives.
Here you can see different games that are in the gymkhana:
LES BITLLES: From a small distance you must try to throw as maximum of
skittles as possible.
LA PETANCA: There‘s a small ball and each one of the team has got a medium iron ball.
The goal is to throw the ball as near as possible to the small ball.
JOC DE PUNTERIA: You must throw the ball inside the circles.
LA XARRANCA: It consists on throwing a stone in one of the squares that are drawing
on the floor, which they are in order from 1 to 9. You have to hop and pass all the
squares without stepping on the square that you’ve just thrown the stone. When you
return you must catch the stone again to throw it in your next turn.
ENCISTELLAR: Each one of the bins has got a colour and each colour has got some
points. You have to throw the tennis ball inside a bin and depending on which bin the ball
is thrown you have the points that correspond to this bin,
ARRENCACEBES: All the children are sitting on the floor one on a row. The one who is in
the back have to catch the one who is in front with their arms.
There is one child trying to pull out the one who is the first of the queue.
EL JOC DEL NUS: All the pupils are together holding on their hands and we are going to make a knot between then as a rope; there’s one pupil who’s trying to untie the knot trying to follow the movements that they have done to do the knot.
JOCS DE CORDA: For the younger ones, we move the rope on the floor to jump, and the
other pupils skip singing one of our traditional songs.
CURSES DE SACS. Each pupil put their legs inside a sack and the game consists on doing races. The one who arrives the first is the winner.
