Year 2: Phonics ai/ay/a-e. Getting ready for reading in English

Dear parents,

Our children are greatly improving their decoding of the English language (each one at his/her own pace). All of them are becoming more and more confident and they are deblocking the possible fears towards reading in another language they may have had before.

They feel so happy learning the «tricks». Here there are some videos to practice.

Year 2: » The Girl Who Wanted to Escape her Page»

Dear parents,

This week we have been working the topic of inmigration, refugees and war throughout this wonderful book called «The Girl Who Wanted to Escape her Page».

I have tried to make them understand the importance of human beings above it all and how we have to take their possition as to feel their solitude and desperation. What a great heart and comprehension they have.!!!!Congratulations to all of them. 4 huge collective posters show their will to make gates which permit entering different pages if they do not like theirs. (As a huge methafore of borders between all the different countries).

Then we read the words we learnt from the book and we are going to create our own notebook about he page we want to espape from and the reasons why.

Year 2: We can read in English and we love it.+ Means of transport

Dear parents,

After a few months of traning and decoding, our children can pretty much read in English. They just love it and profit to show it in every situation they can.

In addition to this, they have learnt the different means of transport we can have by air, land or water.

The special activity we have had for Easter has been to look for words in the garden, to read them out loud and to go searching for more. Consecuently, the Easter Bunny has left them chocolate eggs in the class:))))) They can really readdddddddddd!!!!

Enjoy the hollidays!!!!!

Year 2: Learning the sounds in English

Dear parents,

We have been recently teaching the children to familiarize with the sounds in English. The similarities and most importantly, the differences. They seem to perfectly understand how they work, the multiple exceptions and the «Tricky Words». They are very motivated.

Estimados padres:

Últimamente hemos estado enseñando a nuestros niños y niñas los sonidos en inglés. La similitudes y diferentes para que se vayan familiarizando. Parece que les gustas ver cómo funciona, las múltiples excepciones y «las palabras con truquillo». Están muy motivados.

¡¡¡¡Vamos a divertirnos aprendiendo!!!
