Hi there!👋

Here you are an interesting video📹 about how children describe their emotions and feelings😃😒😖😡, and how they manage to control them.  It is very descriptive, and it can help us think on how we deal with our emotions and feelings, too.  And how we manage to control them, as well.

Escola ARCE Pedala

Hi there!

Once more, ARCE Pedala week was here and both children and teachers had a great time , surrounded by bikes, literally!

In the English lessons, children had the opportunity to experience cycling clothes and complements, real material provided by an enthusiastic teacher who is a bike addict.  I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I did when taking them.  Bike safe!

Pony Boy by P4

P4 students are here to delight you with their own version of Pony Boy, lullaby written by Bruce Springsteen.  This is one of the songs we sing at the end of every lesson to chill out before saying good bye.  And after a year and a half at Escola ARCE, it seems they have learnt it quite well.  Fancy watching the video and singalong? Let's go!

PS: Focus on the children and forget about the poor singing qualities of the teacher.

Hello, good morning!

"Hello, good morning! How are you today?"

Now it's time for you to watch them and let them practise at home ... are you ready? Let's go!

    Hi there! Look what I have found! There is a video website called Kideos (Videos for Kids) where you can watch a lot of videos in English from your favourite cartoon films and series.
