In Year 1 we are working on the members of the extended family so have been looking at the following vocabulary: mummy, daddy, sister, brother, granny, grandpa, aunty, uncle, girl cousin, boy cousin. We played a variety of different  games to familiarize the children with the vocabulary.

The children in Year 2 are preparing their first presentation this school year about their house. The presentation will take the following format:

• Hello. My name is Lucy.
• I am 18 years old.
• This is my house.
• My house has got 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, a kitchen and dining room.
• My house has got a big patio and a small terrace.
• Thank you.

En la clase de 1º estamos trabajando los miembros de la familia extendida y con este fin miramos el siguiente vocabulario: mamá, papá, hermana, hermano, abuela, abuelo, tía, tío, prima y primo. Jugamos a variedad de distintos juegos para familiarizar los niños y niñas con el vocabulario.

The children in Year 1 were rewarded this week for their major efforts to talk in english during the class. They managed to get 25 buttons in the jar (they are awarded a  button at the end of each class if they attempt to communicate mainly in english). So the reward was go outside to play games in english. The game of stone, paper, scissors was a popular choice. We now aim to get 50 buttons in the jar. 

Year 1 have been busy shopping in the Stationery shop we made up in the English room.  They came to the shop in pairs and asked for the items, as shown in the photo below. The following dialogue was practised:

• Hello. What do you want?
• Can I have 2 glue sticks, please?
• Yes, here you are.
• Thank you.
• You are welcome.

In Year 2 we have been talking about the position of different items in the house and the children have been occupied with the following dialogues:

• Where is the cookie?
• Is the cookie in the dining room?
• Yes.
• Is the cookie under the chair?
• No.
• Is the cookie on the table?
• Yes.

We also quite enjoyed singing along to this cheery song.

En la clase de 1º hemos estado ocupado comprando en la papelería que montamos en la clase de inglés. Vinieron a la tienda en parejas y pidieron los objetos como se enseña en la foto de arriba. Practicaron el siguiente diálogo:
