Pontevedra, near to the school is the Peregrina’s church. Around the corner is the

Profile of your student/classroom:
In this school, both male and female students, will be together, because it’s a mixed
school. We believe that, although in the early stages girls develop earlier, in key stage
scales of maturation is the same therefore, at the end both sexes is on the same level
of learning.
Nowadays our school have 298 students spread across by different levels. We have
two classes of each course in all levels because there are around 50 students per level.
We organize the classes in alphabetical order. Also when we have brethren we try
that they are in the same class .

4. How to know our students in class?
We have designed an activity for 4º of primary for working the structures of sentences,
both affirmative and interrogative, and get to know our students. The game consists of
the following:
First, the students sit in a circle, except one, that he or she will sit in the middle
voluntarily or chosen by the teacher.
Then, children are passed a pencil each other until the student who sits in the middle
says “Stop”. Next, the same child will ask “Who has got the pencil?” and, in this
moment, the student that have the pencil, will have to change the tone of voice and
tell something that he or she like or dislike, and the child that is in the middle has to
guess who is.
Finally, if the student guesses it, the child who had the pencil should sit in the middle.
If student don’t guess it, will have to continue in the middle until to guess who has the
pencil.
Survey to the parents
To know more about our students we send a letter to their parents explain what we
want to know about them and also about languages they use to talk and if they know
