The birds sing, the bees buzz, and the world is filled with the sounds of life.What season is it?S pring is celebrated in many ways. In some countries, people celebrate the arrival of the season with festivals, such as Easter, Holi, or the Japanese cherry blossom festival. These celebrations bring people together to enjoy the beauty of the season, dance, eat, and appreciate life.
The days grow longer, the temperatures rise, and the world around us seems to come alive once again. What season is it? where nature bursts forth with vibrant colors and life returns to every corner of the earth. S-P-R-I-N-G, S-P-R-I-N-G.
In our English class in Primary 2, we are learning about opposite words.
Opposite words also known as antonyms, are a pair of words with contrasting meanings. Learning antonyms helps us understand words better and speak more clearly!
Examples of Opposite words:
Big – Small
Fast – Slow
Happy – Sad
Hot – Cold
Day – Night
Here you have more examples as well as our favourite song about opposites!
Here are also some sentences we created in class:
The elephant is big, but the ant is small.
The rabbit is fast, but the turtle is slow.
I feel happy when I play, but I feel sad when it rains.
The soup is hot, but the ice cream is cold.
We play during the day, but we sleep at night.
Continue practising and finding out more opposite words!
LEARNING ABOUT CLOTHES AND SHOPPING!In our English class in Primary 1, we are learning about clothes and how to describe what we are wearing. We use the verb to wear to say what clothes we have on and also colours or adjectives to describe the clothing. Check the vocabulary in the video!
What are you wearing?
I wear a blue t-shirt.
She is wearing a red dress.
He wears black shoes.
My Favourite Clothes
Everyone has their favourite clothes! Some children like jeans, others love dresses or hats. What is your favorite piece of clothing? We talked about them in class and made some drawings.
Let’s Go Shopping!
We are getting ready to have fun with a role play activity called “Let’s Go Shopping!” In this activity, we will pretend to be in a clothes shop and practice buying clothes using common expressions, such as:
Shop assistant: Hello! How can I help you?
Customer: Hello! I want to buy a t-shirt.
Shop assistant: Sure! What colour do you like?
Customer: I like blue.
Shop assistant: Here you go!
Customer: Can I try it on? / How much is it?
Shop assistant: It’s 10 euros, please.
Customer: Thank you!
Practice the dialogue of shopping clothes with your friends and family. Use the expressions we learned in class! And let’s get ready to go shopping!
We will keep you updated with Alqueria’s clothes shop!
What important it is healthy life and healthy food!
In Primary 2 we have been learning about different lifestyles and we talked about healthy habits that we should follow in our daily routine to help us grow strong and stay happy!
Healthy habits such as…
Drink water.
Eat lots of fruits and vegetables every day.
Brush your teeth and your hands.
Sleep well to feel strong and happy.
Play and exercise to keep your body active.
We are also talking about healthy food, which is included in our diet, and we created our own FOOD PYRAMID!The pyramid is divided into five food groups and we are learning what a healthy balanced diet should include.
This special pyramid helps us understand what foods we should eat more and which ones we should eat less.
Food Pyramid:
Fruits and Vegetables – They are superfoods! Giving us vitamins and helping us stay healthy. We should eat them every day.
Grains – Bread, rice, and pasta give us energy to play and learn.
Proteins – Meat, fish, eggs, and beans help our muscles grow strong.
