The first day of the Language Assistants at Miquel Martí i Pol had the objective of students and LA getting to know each other.

Pupils were divided into small groups. Each group had one LA to sit with them and also had a worksheet with different questions they could ask the Language Assistants, such as their name, their age, their likes and dislikes and their favourite things.

Language Assistants also had a little script so they could use as a guide to ask questions to the students.

When all the groups had finished, they had to share the information they had learnt about the LA that was in their group to the rest of the class, so they could know them a little better.

We also displayed a small poster on the digital board with a sentence to welcome their presence in the class.

Show the facilities to the language assistants. Tell them a bit about the pupils: characteristics, level of English... Show them activities we did last year and ask them to prepare some activities following those examples.
Santo Tomás: in third grade I played the star game. The L.A wrote some information about her like her age, hobbies... and the students had to make questions that matched the information. For example: How old are you? 15. Is your hobby Basketball? Then the students came to the board and wrote information about them and we played again. In fourth grade, the student asked many questions to the LA and I wrote them on the board. Then they answered those questions in a paper with a picture of a flag and colour it. Then they introduced themselves using the flag. At then end, a student chose a flag, read the info and the rest of the class had to guess the pupil.
Enxaneta: our L.A. prepared a presentation to introduce themselves. Pupils asked them about their hobbies and then we made the different groups that we are going to use in the following sessions. In those groups, the students and the L.A played a game "My favourite". It works with different shapes and they had to match the question with the answer.

Els alumnes de cicle superior preparen una descripció d'un company (elecció tipus amic invisible).
Quan arriben els LA es llegeixen les descripcions i els LA han de descobrir de quin alumne es tracta. Quan ho esbrinen, l'alumne descrit es presenta i fa una pregunta. LA responen.

Our 6 language assistants has been welcomed on 24th October. They were grateful to share English knowledge with our children and the pupils were excited and happy. They prepared welcome cards and songs for girls.

Our LA were sumonded for information gathering related to the procedures when in front of little students. Also for commenting on the Power Point, which was sent to the via e-mail, for we didn't have time for more.

During the first session with LA at school we are going to split the whole class in 4 small groups. The aim of this session is carry out a short conversation in the group. Each LA is leading a group and they swap groups every 10 minutes. In this way all  the children know all the assistants and vice-versa. The LA and the children can talk about themselves, asking their names, families, friends, hobbies, likes, dislikes... Children are practising in class  this kind of questions and the LA have a a guide document of possibles questions.

La responsable del projecte es reuneix amb els LA,  projecta el power point i explica quina serà la tasca dels LA a l'escola primària. Es demana responsabilitat, dedicació i que gaudeixin molt l'experiència.
Propera reunió: mes de desembre.

El primer dia dels LA a l'escola Miquel Martí i Pol va ser molt emocionant per a tots.

Tot i que vam tenir alguns problemes amb l'horari i això va afectar a l'estona que les noies van ser a la classe, els alumnes van tenir la oportunitat de tenir un primer contacte amb les LA i elles van poder fer-se una idea de com eren els grups amb els quals treballaran a partir d'ara.

# data[].attributes.body
Les activitats programades per aquesta primera sessió eren molt pautades i estructurades per donar seguretat tant als alumnes de primària com als LA.
Valorem positivament el primer contacte entre LA i alumnes de primària.

Pensem que les Language Assistants fan una tasca molt útil dins la nostra aula d'anglès. Planifiquem racons quan elles venen, i d'aquesta manera aconseguim 3 "mestres" per a 4 activitats diferents, amb constant input en llengua anglesa pels alumnes.

When properly introduced, all of our LA went on explaining why they had offered themselves for the project.

El primer dia els alumnes estan molt nerviosos i impacients per conèixer la LA. És important que els LA vegin que els alumnes volen treballar amb ells per sentir-se important. També cal deixar les normes clares (parlar sempre en anglès, intentar mantenir la distància amb alumnes que des del primer dia són molt propers...) i també que els LA vegin que les sessions estan estructurades però obertes a les seves idees.

Our language assistants are old students from our school. So they asked to see the classrooms and were really happy to see that many things were different and others remain the same. So their welcome was more like a reminder of their school days.
We let them meet the children, ask their names, their likes and dislikes...

Aquesta és la presentació que hem preparat perquè veieu una mica el què vam fer el primer dia de classe.

# data[].attributes.body
La nostra escola vam fer un poster de benvinguda i una activitat de presentació dels alumnes anomenada "introducing yourself"

# data[].attributes.body
The first day of the STL session our language assistants proposed me an activity. It was great!

The students draw a star and they have to write words connected with their personal information (age, favourite hobbies, favourite subject...). Then, they participate in a brief conversation asking and answering questions to each other.

Creiem que és molt important que els alumnes de secundària vegin que hi ha un treball previ a la seva primera visita perquè així els ajudem a sentir-se importants i motivats. Que surtin contents de l'escola és imprescindible per al correcte desenvolupament de l'activitat.
També valorem de manera molt positiva que els alumnes que vénen com a LA siguin ex-alumnes del centre pels vincles que aquest fet ens permet tenir ja establerts i la motivació i ganes de venir al centre.

In the first session the LA presented themselves, describing where they came from, their likes and dislikes, etc. Then each student presented him/herself and asked a few personal questions to the LA. The students found themselves that they had problems when asking the questions so they used the teacher as a tool to help them with grammar or the words used in the questions.
When we finished the presentation part of the lesson we played a few games with the LA.
Some students also guided the LA through the school because 2 of the 4 LA weren't old students of Montserratina school and it was good that they knew the school during their first day.

Creiem que és molt important que els nostres alumnes estiguin motivats i amb moltes ganes de conèixer els language assistants. Van respondre de manera molt satisfactòria durant tota la sessió.

We have met twice.
The first time it was a meeting between the person responsible in the high school ,the person responsable with the project and all the students. We explained them what was "Sharing to learn " and we talked about their interesets related with the project.After that we commented about their initial self- assessment and signed the confidentiality agreement.
On the second meeting we worked in small groups with the power point we had from the organization.

# data[].attributes.body
We should try to make the LA useful and important in our sessions, so that is why we will try to make them active during our activities and let them know what we will be doing in advance.

I think that it is very necessary that the language assistants know what they have to do before they come to the Primary school.

It was interesting to have two sessions with the LA before going to the Primary school. They knew more or less what it was supposed to be their responsability and what we expected from them.
