This is my house

This is my house

We love our homes! This month, our Primary 2 students have been learning all about the house, its rooms, furniture, and what routines we do in each place of our home.

We’ve explored the parts of the house and objects inside:

  • living room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, garden
  • sofa, bed, table, chair, lamp, window

Through songs, drawings, teamwork and oral presentations, children are learning to describe their homes in English.

Examples of sentences we use:

  • This is my house.
  • There is a big kitchen.
  • In the kitchen there is an oven.
  • In the living room there are chairs.
  • In the garden you can see trees, a table and a swimming pool.
  • I sleep in my bedroom.
  • We eat in the dining room.

Students designed a drawing or house plan of their home and did an oral presentation to share with the rest of classmates. Also, we did teamwork helping them to share ideas and practise English together. This way, children are improving:

  • Vocabulary and grammar (there is/there are, prepositions, house and furniture words)
  • Speaking and listening skills
  • Teamwork and creativity

Each child presented their home in English and some of the sentences they practised are:

This is my house. It has a kitchen, a bathroom, and two bedrooms. My bedroom is blue. In my bedroom there is a big bed and a beautiful carpet. I like my living room. I play in the living room with my family.

We are very proud of their wonderful effort and enthusiasm!

Have a nice weekend and see you all on Monday!

Lots of love from: Teacher Bárbara and Teacher Ana

We love animals

We love animals!

During these weeks in our English classes, Primary 1 students have been learning about farm animals and wild animals!Through songs, games, drawings and riddles, children are discovering new vocabulary and useful verbs while having fun and speaking English. Some of the speaking activities we’ve been doing are:

We practised descriptive sentences to identify animals by their habitat, appearance, and abilities:

  • This animal lives in the jungle.
  • It is big and brown.
  • It can swim.
  • It likes bananas.

These short sentences help children use verbs such as to be, to have, can, to live, to eat, etc. Students described and drew their favourite animals and did an oral little presentation in front of their classmates saying for example…

This is a lion. The lion is brown and big. Lions live in the jungle. Lions can roar and run.

We also played with some riddles and guessed the animals that matches the descriptions. For example:

“I’m grey and have a long trunk. Who am I?”
“I can jump and I like bananas. Who am I?”

Here you have some of our favourite animal songs:

 

 

Learning about animals helps us to understand the importance of loving our planet Earth and all the living creatures on it. Also, using English in real contexts and interested topics for kids make the learning a fun process and build confidence in them.

Thanks and see you all on Monday! Have a beautiful weekend!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Spooky Fun in Our Classroom!

Boo! Did you hear that? It’s just the sound of Halloween fun sneaking into our classroom! This week, our little pumpkins have been busy exploring all things spooky (but not too scary!). From dressing up in colorful costumes to making creepy-crawly crafts and singing silly monster songs, we’ve had a frightfully good time!

Halloween is one of our favorite celebrations because it’s full of imagination, laughter, and creativity. We learned new words, practiced counting with candy, and even had a spooky story time that made everyone giggle. Keep reading to see all the magical moments and smiling faces from our Halloween adventures!

In the Red Class, we made a Halloween minibook with basic vocabulary, which the children presented to the rest of their classmates.

We’ve had such a great time this week celebrating Halloween! 
Have an amazing Halloween night and don’t forget to collect lots of candy!

See you soon!

Fun with Halloween!

Hello and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

This week our Primary 1 and 2 children have been enjoying a very special Halloween week in English!

We learned lots of Halloween words: like witch, ghost, bat, pumpkin, monster, spider, spider web, candle, scary… through songs, stories and crafts.

First, we sang the song “Knock, Knock! Who Are You?”, where we had to guess who was behind the door:

“Is it a ghost? A witch? A vampire?”

The children loved repeating the spooky sounds and dancing with the characters!

Then, we made our own ghosts with origami paper, we folded, drew funny or scary faces, and created a little ghost family while listening to some Halloween songs like:

 

Children practised vocabulary, listening, and speaking while having so much fun. They also learned some useful Halloween expressions like:

Trick or treat!
I’m a ghost!
Boo!
Don’t be scared!

Also, Aria from Primary 1 brought Halloween pumpkins to decorate! Thank you Aria!

We had such a spook-tacular time together!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYONE!
