Hello dear families,
The Red Class is on a rocket! Our routines in English class let us treat such different topics each day, as the weather or the feelings.
Besides that, we are also starting playing with Jolly Phonics, looking for the letters in the floor is so funny!
We continue talking about the autumn and, of course, reading books every day. It looks like Pete the Cat is going to be our new classmate this year! We absolutely love him in the Red Class!
See you soon,
Lola
Dear families,
I am so happy to discover to what extent they already understand English!
We started this school year reviewing our English class routines and teaching our new classmates how we enjoy our English lessons as «we play a lot with Lola».
This year we have met Pete, a veeeeery cute cat. He has taught that school is a very happy place for us.
We have also play a lot in the Red Class with colours and we’ve been also learning some fruits and vegetables, playing with the classroom toys and pretending we were in a restaurant («I want a tomato, please!»). I am pretty sure that their favourite song this unit was this one!:
We have also having fun with a lot of crazy mixes that our kids have proposed and I will tell you that I have listened more that one «Yummy» after a weird proposal!
The Fall Season has just started and our little ones can see and feel the changes around them: the leaves are changing colors, the trees are losing their foliage, days are getting longer, and the weather is slowly getting colder.
We have been working in Autumn theme, and along with it comes Halloween, the most popular English holiday. Our children at AlquerÃa ask for Halloween songs and stories and claim: – They are not scary enough!
We have been dancing like skeletons with these songs and learning about the costumes we were going to wear in our different Halloween parties .
See you soon,
Lola
Hello everybody!
The goal of this post is to welcome you all to our languages blog at AlquerÃa and to inform you that we will have recurring information about the English and French classes via this blog about every 2 weeks.
For those who are new parents, my name is Lola and I am the English teacher from the blue class to Year 2.
Welcome to school one more time! I am delighted to have your kids back. Our children have grown soooo fast this summer.  A special and warm hello to those new parents this year at AlquerÃa. Nice to meet you all.
This year we are also welcoming a new English teacher at school, Nina. You will get to know her in Year 1 and Year 2, although she is the English teacher from Year 3 to Year 6 too.
See you soon!
Lola and Nina
Hello dear families!
During the last weeks, we have been doing funny games to revise what we have learnt during this year. We repeated some of our favourite games and sang some of our favourite songs.
We have been also focused on the topic of the Summer and learned a lot about this season. We love Summer in the Red Class!!
I hope you all have an amazing summer!
See you soon, take care!
All the best,
Lola
Hello everyone!
It is almost the end of our school year and I would like to tell you about our Red Class progress during last weeks.
At the beginning of the term, we studied the wild animals in English through several games, role-plays, storytelling and songs. We love dance!
We use this song to learn more about actions using wild animals topic:
But without a doubt, our Red Class favourite song is… Walking in the Jungle!
We pretend we are intrepid explorers in the jungle and have lots of fun while playing!
We also take the opportunity to benefit spring time to learn more about the butterflies and their life cycle (from an egg to a beautiful butterflie), and we built our topic around the book «The very hungry caterpillar», by Eric Carle.
We made fantastics storytelling and draws. We already know a lot of interesting things about food and days of the week!
Below you will find an animated version of the book (although we prefer the real book!):
Then we started getting ready for our trip to the farm! We played games using the animals in our classroom and listen carefully for the sounds animals to guess them! It was really funny as it was like a TV show quiz!
During next weeks we will «be immersed» in the deep blue sea in order to know more about the sea animals and, of course, about the summer and swimming!
I would also like to tell you that we are working on phonics in English and we are sooo close to identify all the sounds in group 2 of Jolly Phonics! Bravo!
Happy week!
Lola
