What about poems?

Hello everybody :)

As you know, during these classes we have been talking about Literature and we have learnt many things about it.

But... What about poems?

Poetry is one of the most important parts of Literature.

Poetry is a form of literary art which uses aesthetic and rythmic.

Sometimes, we forget that Poetry exists and that students must know what is it.

if you are interested in Poetry for children, here you have a blog where you can find a lot of poems.

FAIRY TALES 

A fairy tale is a story, usually for children, about elves, hobgoblins, dragons, fairies or other magical creatures.

According to the things that we have been seeing in class, I have learnt a lot about fairy tales that I didn't know it.

I have to confess that I don't feel passion about fairy tales. I have never been interested in this kind of things. Probably, because I think that is not real. It is a story that couldn't be realized. 

But, thanks to this subject, my interest in fairy tales is increasing and I'm investigating in different stories.

For the time being, and because I wouldn't consider that I'm an expert in fairy tales, I'm going to share with you a song that is related to this topic.

I hope you like it :)

SCENIC FEAR

Last week, in the practical session of group A, we did some activities in order to lose our scenic fear.

It was amazing because we had a really good time doing great things, such as mime, theatre, etc.

In our profession, it is important to lose scenic fear if we have it, because we have to speak in front of many people. Sometimes, they will be children, but sometimes, they will be other teachers too.

In fact, we have done a lot of presentations during these years. We have had to speak in front of the class and in front of the teacher. Remember that they are who evaluate us...

And also, we will have to present out TFG and we will have to be ready to do it, and lose the scenic fear.

So, my conclusion is that we have to enjoy doing the presentations. We must be brave when we are in front of many people. And the most important thing, We have to believe in ourselves. That is the best trick to start losing the scenic fear. 

CHILDREN WHO RECEIVE MUSIC TRAINING ARE MORE DEVELOPED IN OTHER SUBJECTS.

Schools tend to decrease the time spent to provide instruction in subjects such as art, music and languages.

This trend represents a problem, because the music and the arts,
which are courses which are usually the first to be cut, can help improve test scores in math and reading.
Increasingly, the news talk about the relationship between music and a significant improvement in learning.
The music is similar to language and mathematics, as it is a foreign language, which requires a particular interpretation.
It is based, for example, fractions to achieve the required tempo and requires the development of accurate and precise divisions to achieve adequate levels of pace, and to play the octaves and chords.

In conclusion, music is important for children. It is also another way to have fun and to learn with them. If you love music as I do, share this thought :)

JAZZ CHANTS

Remember that jazz chants are very important in class because we can practice pronunciation but at the same time we have fun and we learn through music.

This is what we have been doing in class with Raquel and I think that we could do it with our future children. 

 

Here you have one of the best jazz chants I have ever seen.

You can also read the jazz chant we have done today in class Patricia Peláez, Andrea Sánchez, Cristina Moneva and me but... You will have to invent the rhythm because we are not going to say you our secret!
