Food and more in Year 2

Hello everyone!!!

Kids in Year 2 has been starving during these weeks in English classes hahahaha and the reason is that we have been learning about food. We have been listening to  “I’m hungry!!” so many times…

They already had previous knowledge about food, so that we have widened  it. We have been emphasizing speaking in complete sentences instead of just group of words. So they have been working on explain to the rest of the classmates about their preferences and what they think is healthy or unhealthy… such an experience.

To help us with this task, we read, saw, and played with the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. Besides helping us speaking with complete sentences by retelling the story, it was a vehicle to revise the days of the week and our main topic, food.

Of course, we read and shared the physical book, but here are some other resources we used to help us learn.

We hope you enjoy  these resources at home and have fun re-telling this classic story to your families!

We wish you a nice cultural week to you all!

This is my house, my big, big house…

Dear parents,

These past weeks we are leaning the different parts of the house and the furniture we can find in it. We played a lot of games in the class, the best way to learn even without realizing it! These kids are incredible and soooooo dynamic and time flies thanks to that in our English classes.

We have linked our previous knowledge about the members of the family to this new topic, which helped us to feel more comfortable and self-confident.

We have also designed a huge house outside using chalks, in our playground, taking advantage of sunny days in Granada.

We share with you this cute song that they really looooooove (they even sing something like “this is my house, my SMALL, SMALL house” as the girl is giant compared to the house… hahahaha).

Happy cultural week to y’all!

What’s in your pencil case?

Dear parents,

Hope you are all well! Just a quick entry to share with you how our kids are learning as a bullet!

In Year 2 we have been working on language used in the classroom, including the most commonly used supplies. We have learnt a song all about classroom objects and use the language in our daily routines. We are encouraging the children to talk using sentences in English.

They loved every single media we used during these two weeks, so I’ll leave here some of them:

I hope you can enjoy together at home while playing.

Besides that, we are ready for reading and we use our abilities as soon as we have the opportunity to do it!

The video below contains the 42 sounds in English (we already know all the groups and we are so proud of that!).

We are quite familiarized with them and we are learning magic «e» and tricky words.

See you soon!

Learning about our family in Year 1

Dear parents,

These past weeks we have been working in the family members.

We have sung while we learnt some of the family members, played some card and memory games, done lots of interactive activities, and, by the end of the week, everyone drew and presented their family to the rest of the class (it’s incredible how fast they learn!).

These 2 weeks we are going to learn more phonics. The sounds they can link together to read are:

GROUP 1: S-A-T-P-I-N

GROUP 2: C-K-E-H-R-M-D

GROUP 3: G-O-U-L-F-B

And we will start with the /AI/ sound too.

Let’s rock, Year 1!

Take care,

WE ARE A BIG FAMILY IN THE GREEN CLASS!

Dear families,

Happy New Year!

This second term we have started learning more about our relatives: daddy, mummy, sister, brother and baby.

Children love this unit and there are lots of activities, games and songs related with the family they can connect with.

The Green class is enjoying acting out like families, making role plays games and finger theatres.

Take care and see you soon!

Lola
