Let’s have a balanced diet!

Hello Primary 2!

During the past weeks in our English classes, we learned about food and healthy habits. We talked about fruits, vegetables, and healthy meals, and we learned why it is important to have a balanced diet and stay healthy.

We also explored the food pyramid and discovered that we should eat more fruits and vegetables, some proteins and dairy products as well as less sweets and junk food.

After that, we worked in groups creating our pyramids about healthy food. Each group designed a food pyramid or a healthy pyramid, including pictures that they found in magazines such as fruits, vegetables, and other food groups like proteins and carbohydrates. This activity helped students cooperate, share ideas, and work as a team!

Finally, each group gave an oral presentation in English to the class. They explained their posters using simple sentences such as:

  • “Fruits and vegetables are very healthy.” «We should eat five or six pieces of fruits and vegetables per day»

  • “This is our food pyramid. On top of the pyramid you can see sugar and unhealthy products like candies or chocolates.”

  • “We should drink lots of water and do exercise regularly.”

We will continue talking about healthy habits in order to have a healthy lifestyle and become super strong kids!

Have a nice weekend and remember… eat a rainbow!

 

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello everyone!

Yesterday was Thanksgiving Day, so we took advantage of the beautiful message that this holiday has to introduce this special American celebration in our English classes.

Children learned new vocabulary such as family, friends, food, turkey, pumpkin, pie, thankful and celebration. We spoke about what Thanksgiving means and why people take time to appreciate what they have.

We also enjoyed listening to a couple of Thanksgiving songs and dancing playing the “FREEZE” game with a fun Turkey!

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

Autumn through colours, songs, and fun!

Welcome to the magic of the new season… AUTUMN!

In Primary 2, we are exploring autumn with our Autumn Wheel! Each student has created their own “Wheel of Autumn” o «Ruleta del otoño» and filled it with drawings that allow them to talk about this season of the year, from the wheel we can make questions, answers and stories about the season: from the weather, colours, clothes or activities that we usually do to animals, food, and nature.

We have been learning autumn vocabulary using flashcards, songs, and games, practicing words like leaves, squirrel, pumpkin, cold, rain or umbrella; and we are able to say sentences more complex such as:

  • In Autumn, leaves fall down from the trees.
  • Leaves change the colour from green to orange, brown, yellow and red.
  • In autumn we can eat pumpkin pie.
  • Squirrels can jump from the tree branches and the collect food for winter

Our classroom is full of music and color! We sing, play, and speak in English while learning about this wonderful time of year. Through our autumn activities, we are enjoying English in a fun and meaningful way.

We also read some books about Autumn and listen with big motivation to know who is the «Leaf Thief»… here we share with you all:
