These past days we have been learning the name of the different toys that we have and that we can play with. This is so much fun!!!! Car, doll, ball, train, rocking horse, dinosaur, unicorn, ship, plane…
We have enjoyed to play with cars, trains, balls, dolls, robots, dinosaurs… I hope you enjoy the songs at home.
Though we still have about a week working on this topics, I wanted to let you know how fun it is to learn about sounds and phonics in English. They now can say words with «S», «A» and «T» sounds. Besides this, they have also learned the different parts of the face and body.
We´ve been learning about the parts of the body through the bean bag song. We sing and dance, carrying the bean bag on our head, our shoulder, our foot, our leg, our back and our arm. It´s lots of fun when we try to sing and dance at the same time!
They had real fun singing and dancing some body songs, but what they really loved is to play Simon Says while they learned some body parts and some actions related to them («Simon says ‘Touch your nose‘!, etc.)
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!
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.
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 .
