ENGLAND ´S PATRON SAINT

 Several stories have been attached to Saint George,the best known of which is the Golden Legend. In it, a dragon lived in a lake near Libya. Whole armies had gone up against this fierce creature, and had gone down in painful defeat. The monster ate two sheep each day; when mutton was scarce, lots were drawn in local villages, and maidens were substituted for sheep. Into this country came Saint George. Hearing the story on a day when a princess was to be eaten, he crossed himself, rode and killed the dragon with a single blow with his lance.

Here in Spain the old legend has inspired to create Sant Jordi's Day as a Catalan version of Valentine's day. On this day men in Cataluña give their sweethearts a red rose, and in recent years a new tradition is that the ladies give the men a book.

A MUSIC LESSON : PETER AND THE WOLF

CREATING FAMOUS HISTORICAL FIGURES

These weeks my students are going to introduce themselves to the class using VOKI 

 

After that , each student will choose a famous historical figure to research on Wikipedia . They then create a Voki and turn it into that person in history but never state the name of the historical figure they are portraying. The class then listens to the Vokis together and guesses which historical figure is being portrayed.

 (You can also see here our last year project with vokis  )

The organization was also meant to teach  children about how to help others.
