Dear families,
I hope you are doing well! We are almost entering the final stretch of the school year and our little learners from the Orange Class have enjoyed all the activities during the last weeks.
We did not want to miss the opportunity to benefit our garden and park to learn and study the spring and the bugs and all the natural events that the spring brought to us.
We played games, made role-plays and we had to “fish” the insects as well in the class! (Fake insects, by the way).
We also made a spring scavenger hunt in our park! It was so funny and we found out many spring elements such as puddle, ants, leafs and sunshine.
Here some songs they love to mimic and dance:
Then we had to prepare ourselves to visit the school farm so we started learning more about the farm animals in English: sheep, cow, pig, rabbit, duck, cat, horse, dog…
We played several games to identify which animals live in the farm and which animals live in the jungle or in the sea…
We read some books about farm animals and sing along many songs!
Our Orange class is willing to learn, it is incredible!
Old McDonald’s farm has also been a central key to us during this topic so we sing his song along together during all our English lessons. We also had a “stick farm” to hide the farm animals inside and let the other kids in the class guess our hidden animal using sounds! It was really funny!
Steve and Maggie’s videos seem to be so interesting for our kids so we used this one to learn more facts about farm animals:
During the next weeks, we will be focus on the summer topic, getting ready for our holidays 🙂
And… Last but not least… we are glad to announce you that we have started our learning about phonics in English while dancing and singing along with the song below!
We love start or finish our English lessons with this song and playing fun games while learning how to pronounce the phonics in English!
See you soon!
