Our youngest students from Medio Mayor, Pre-Kinder, and Kinder took part in one of the monthly storytelling sessions held at the Parvulario, as part of the ongoing experiences organised by the English Immersion Plan for this level.
These sessions, led by Mr. Marcos Riveros and Ms. Catalina Maturana, create meaningful spaces where children engage with stories, language, emotions, and imagination in a natural and playful way.
The story chosen for this occasion was The Colour Monster by Anna Llenas, a beautiful and meaningful book that helps children recognise and name different emotions through colours. Through its simple language, expressive illustrations, and clear emotional associations, the story invited students to explore feelings such as happiness, sadness, anger, fear, calm, and love in a way that was accessible and close to their everyday experiences.
This session was especially valuable for Parvulario, as emotional awareness is an important part of children’s early development. Through the story, students were able to connect English with feelings, colours, gestures, and personal experiences, reinforcing the idea that language can also help us understand what we feel and how we relate to others.
The storytelling session was supported by Mariana González from 10th C, Rocío Oyarzúa from 10th A, and Antonia González from 12th A, students from the Senior Area who participated with care and enthusiasm. Their presence helped create a warm connection between older students and the youngest members of our school community.
Throughout the session, children listened attentively and participated respectfully, engaging with the story in a calm and joyful way. These moments are especially valuable in Parvulario, where storytelling allows children to approach English through affection, repetition, images, gestures, colours, and shared emotion.
Through these storytelling experiences, the English Immersion Plan continues to promote the use of English in meaningful and age-appropriate contexts, where language becomes a tool for imagination, communication, emotional connection, and early literary discovery.
We invite you to explore the gallery and revisit this special moment of storytelling, emotions, colours, and shared learning.
