Thursday 26 November: education strike, no psychomotricity open session

A strike has been called in the education sector that day, so the psychomotricity open session is cancelled. Every Thursday, meet directly at the sports hall at 9:00. Remember to put the children’s socks on.

What Sandra said and where to meet

A strike has been called in the education sector on Thursday 26 November, so that day’s psychomotricity open session for families is cancelled. It will probably move to Thursday 3 December, but the school’s management still has to confirm it, and Sandra will let families know.

Sandra’s email of 12 November is “Cancel·lació de les portes obertes de psicomotricitat”.

The Llibres have psychomotricity every Thursday, from 9:00 to 10:30.

  • At 9:00, drop the children off directly at the sports hall, not in the classroom.
  • Remember to put their socks on.

You can find the other activities in the Llibres timetable.

What do we do each day? The Els Llibres timetable

Library, English, movement activities, music and phonological awareness. Workshops, on Tuesday afternoons and Friday mornings, will start in November.

These are the Llibres’ activities, with the updates from Sandra’s email “RECORDATORI HORARIS I4B”, sent on 6 October:

  • Monday: library in the afternoon.
  • Tuesday: English with the whole class, 11:30–12:30.
  • Wednesday: English with half the class, 10:00–11:00; families in the classroom in the afternoon.
  • Thursday: movement activities, 9:00–10:30. Meet directly at the sports hall at 9:00. Music in the afternoon.
  • Friday: phonological awareness.

Workshops will start in November, once the I3 children are ready to move freely between activity spaces. They will be on Tuesdays from 15:00 to 16:10 and Fridays from 9:00 to 10:30, roughly, with children from different years taking part together. This comes from the presentation at the families’ meeting, which you can find in Sandra’s email “Informacions reunions famílies” of 25 September.

The AFA is looking for volunteers for the Club de Català

The AFA’s Catalan conversation club is about to return, but it needs volunteers to chat in Catalan two afternoons a month. Two hours a month is enough to help.

How to sign up

The AFA’s Club de Català, “Un cafè i català”, is coming back to Escola La Mar Bella soon, but before it can start it needs more volunteers. Plenty of participants are keen to learn and speak Catalan two afternoons a month, and few volunteers are available.

If you have two hours a month and want to help keep Catalan alive, join the volunteers’ WhatsApp group and say which times would suit you. It is a very rewarding experience.

Where is the group link? We don’t publish it here because this page is public. You will find it in the class families’ WhatsApp group, in the message with the “Et busquem!” poster forwarded on 6 October. If you can’t see it, search the group for “Club de Català” or “chat.whatsapp”.
