Hello everybody!!
Today I want to share with you an interesting way of learning new issues. School trips are funny and easy activities to do with children, so they can actively learn many things.
Yesterday I went with CEIP Ciudad de Roma School to Reina Sofia museum in Madrid and we spent a good time learning together. There, we could find many paintings and artworks by well-known artist like Pablo Picasso.
We did this trip with third grade children of Primary Education who are studying the matter in motion, so we visited some artworks based in this topic, such as Picasso's Guernica or The indestructible object. We enjoyed a lot and children were very engaged with this activity.
It is important to do a previous work with students in the classroom, in order to explain them what they are going to do and to see during their visit. For that reason, it is useful to do some activities and give them some background. Several options could be as follows: give the students a list of artworks they are going to see and give them one to investigate in small groups, explain some characteristics of author´s lives, and investigate about the period of time the painting was done or the author´s reasons to perform their works
Finally, it is also important that children remember the visit and the acquired knowledge, so we should do some work in the following classes. One creative activity we can do with them is to think about one artwork and write a story of it. With this work we can improve their creative and critical thinking to develop an active learning on them.
I want to share some lovely pictures of my trip with kids and I hope you can find it interesting!
