Teaching at "La Sínia" - Working on projects

To be a teacher in this school means to be compromised and to share common objectives with the rest of the teachers. In the meetings after the morning lessons, all the teachers get involved in doing a brainstorm about how to solve any problem, how to focus a crosscurricular project or how to improve some things that are not working at all.  
In this first week, I have realised the importance of working together as a group, of the communication between all the members of the school and the good relationship that exists. For example, they are preparing the carnival project, and all the teachers are getting involved on it, in different ways. Songs, costumes, dances... There is a common topic: The forest. Then, the pupils choose their costume by groups, such as squirrels, bears, rangers, flowers... The teachers' task is to invent the complements that students have to do for their costumes, decide an appropriate music for each group and prepare a choreography.
The English specialists are responsible of the costumes of first and second grade.
