Hi Year 2!
Remember playing body dominos this week? Here are some photos of our play!
As we just practiced body parts and Halloween is coming, it makes sense to sing about the inside of our bodies too! So, why not do the skeleton dance?
And here is a fun Halloween story to help you get in the spirit!
See you in class!

Hi everyone! First of all, I wanted to show you my apologies for not having updated the blog during the last days -as you already know, I’ve just arrived to the school and needed some lessons about how the blog works (thanks, Lindley and Isa!)
Now that I’ve learned some basic steps (hopefully I will get used to it as I practice with these first messages), I wanted to tell you what we’ve been doing during these last two weeks in class.
Let me start with French 🇫🇷🥐
After having made a small revision of what they already know in French (yes! They already know some french words even in Year 1, as we have some similar words in French and Spanish (croissant, chef, chalet, gruyère… and they showed a lot of interest when they discovered these similarities!), we moved to the Autumn. We played the Autumn Bingo -which they loved- and listened to some French songs (they always ask for this one, they love to sing and dance!):
As for English, I will only talk today about Year 1, as Lindley already posted an entry some days ago about Year 2 🙂
We have been learning the school supplies and then linked the subject with the colours. This allowed me to discover how much English they all already know!
They loved every single media we used during these two weeks, so I’ll leave here some of them:
And this one for the colours! They love it and they also revise some basic vocabulary like lemon, apple, frog… 🙂
See you in this space again soon!

Hello families-
We have just begun studying the body in Year 2.
Here are some videos to review the vocabulary and simple exercises to practice what you know!
First a vocabulary review!
Now, get up and move!
Now, click on the pictures to practice the exercises!
Have fun! Let us know how it went and leave a comment!

DEAR FAMILIES- PERDON POR SOLO PUBLICAR ESTA ENTRADA AHORA. PENSE QUE SE HABIA PUBLICADO JUSTO CUANDO ÁNGELA SU UNIÓ AL EQUIPO, PERO POR LO VISTO SE PUBLICÓ SÓLO EN LOS BLOGS DE INFANTIL. ASÍ QUE OS PIDO PERDÓN!

Dear families:
I am Ángela, the new English and French teacher in pre-school and early primary and I’m so glad to have the opportunity to teach your little ones!
As you may already know, this is my first year at Alquería, so I’m getting to know my little students and help them get used to their new teacher as soon as possible.
Thus (as you can imagine) last week has been a bit of a «restart» in language classroom, during which time we’ve been reviewing previous contents in English, especially the greetings song and introductions .
I am quickly learning their names and a little bit of their amazing characters and personalities.
I’m eager to get to know them better as we move forward in October! I will post again soon and update you on what exactly we are working on in English and French class!
Have a wonderful week!
Ángela
Hello Everyone!
We had a busy week in Year 2 English this week! We did a little bit of everything:
2. Revising Jolly Phonics and reading
3. Lots of talking about personal hygiene and English vocabuluary related to COVID, self-care and how we felt about confinement, the first things we did after confinement and how lovely it is to be back at school!
Here are some resources to revise at home!
Also we spent some time talking about GRATITUDE. This is part of our self care plan. We discussed that even though things are difficult due to the pandemic, and we feel we are missing so much, we have so much to be thankful for.
We also talked about recognizing those who help and give to us, and we can help and give to others. Taking actions in these times helps us to feel better about the world.
To help us understand these BIG concepts, we read a story called THE GIVING TREE by Shel Silverstein.
Here is a short video version of the book to watch at home.
So many students commented that the Giving Trees in their lives are their families, friends and school. We had some really touching conversations and I am inspired by the optimism in Year Two!
I am looking forward diving even deeper into English class with the children in the coming school year!
Enjoy your weekend everyone!
