Green Class

Hello everyone!

In the green class, we are learning soooo  many things and soooo fast. We follow our English routine everyday in class and that helps us to feel confidents and ready to learn.

We have been busy reviewing colours and numbers from 1 to 10, playing games and singing and dancing a lot!

We rock in the Green class!!

After that, Halloween was our main occupation and our little ones absolutely love this English holiday.

We are learning a lot about phonics and we adore Alphablocks in every single version!

Do not hesitate to check up this history at home with the kids: I am pretty sure that their laughs when they see the dancing rat will make your days!

Autumn is here and we are having fun! In class, we share stories, read books, make pictures,  talk about autumn and the change in weather, dance,  jump in a pile of leaves, sing and enjoy learning.

And on top of it, Mr Autumn has visited us from far far away to bring us leaves to play with and to tell us great adventures.

We have been very occupied telling the rain to go away and to let us play (we needed to figure out that the rain didn’t let us play outside, but with our wonderful imagination everything is easier hehehe).

During next weeks we will be learning about the human body and the parts of the face.

Have a nice week, Green Class!

Red Class

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 Alquería 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

Orange Class

Hello everybody!

Time flies and so our kids in the Orange Class. Even though some of them didn’t know how to handle with this teacher who speaks «very, very weird» (their own words, jaja), each lesson goes too fast and they are true sponges!

The Orange Class is amazing!

During last weeks we have been very busy by singing and dancing a lot while learning colours, some actions and knowing cute animals for Halloween.

We have even made a bus in the class!

 

We have been learning a very nice finger game which helped us to sing the Incy Wincy Spider song.

As our Autumn Party approaches, we have spent our English class playing while learning about the colours during this season and about the weather.

We will be learning a lot about toys during next weeks.

See you soon!

First month of class and Halloween on Year 1

Dear parents,

During these past weeks, we have been working hard in Year 1.

After the a new exciting beginning of the school year and once we had revised all the classroom rules, we learned a little more about the European languages , in the context of the European Day of Languages.

We also had a good time while reviewing the colors of the rainbow!

Our kids in Year 1 absolutely love Alphablocks and they help us to running through English phonemes.

As we already knew a looot about colours, we started our new topic: classroom supplies. We made lots of games in class and we also built our own school bag. Here some funny videos we have enjoyed!

As we approached the end of October, we have been enjoying and dancing Halloween songs. We are to happy to know about Halloween costumes and characters!!

Since last week, we are learning a lot of thing about the autumn. These season is very special for the kids, bringing us several opportunities to continue discovering English together.

See you soon,

Lola and Nina

Year 2

Hello dear families!

We hope you have enjoyed your weekend. Year 2 has started like rockets!

They already know a lot of the 42 sounds of the English phonetic system, but they are also acquiring a good reading speed and comprehension. We had really busy weeks in Year 2 English this months!

We started reviewing our classroom rules and we are sure they will remember this funny video as they have loved it in class.

We have also worked in the topic of the European languages as we celebrated the European Day of Languages in Alquería at the end of September.

We have had such a good time singing along this song 🙂

 

 

After that, our next topic was the house and the furniture we could find there. Our kids have learned a lot about that while playing, singing and enjoying English classes.

They have made their own dice to play and we have used them to start writing our firsts sentences in English. Such a hard work!

Besides this, they have been really into Halloween mood and costumes. They claim for more information about Halloween and its traditions. It is not easy but we think they got most of the story.

Hope it’s not too late for you to take a peek at some of the songs we have enjoyed in English class.

 

Finally, since last week, we are working on our current topic: the Autumn.

We will keep you in the loop!

Lola and Nina
