There are a lot of different opposite words that can be used every day by kids that can help them to not only describe people but also different things around them.
Now , let’s see some basic opposite words through a song which can be taught to kids if they have just started to learn them. The opposites Song Kids TV 123
Also, they have created their own bingo. It’s an easy game. Kids need to make associations and connections to learn new vocabulary.
Each child has a Bingo card. The calling cards have an opposite word, and tokens are then placed on the players’ card when named.
It’s Opposites Bingo! This game is very exciting for them!
Kids in Year 2 has been starving during these weeks in English classes hahahaha and the reason is that we have been learning about food. We have been listening to “I’m hungry!!” so many times…
They already had previous knowledge about food, so that we have widened it. We have been emphasizing speaking in complete sentences instead of just group of words. So they have been working on explain to the rest of the classmates about their preferences and what they think is healthy or unhealthy… such an experience.

To help us with this task, we read, saw, and played with the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. Besides helping us speaking with complete sentences by retelling the story, it was a vehicle to revise the days of the week and our main topic, food.
Of course, we read and shared the physical book, but here are some other resources we used to help us learn.
We hope you enjoy these resources at home and have fun re-telling this classic story to your families!
Hope you are all well! Just a quick entry to share with you how our kids are learning as a bullet!
In Year 2 we have been working on language used in the classroom, including the most commonly used supplies. We have learnt a song all about classroom objects and use the language in our daily routines. We are encouraging the children to talk using sentences in English.
They loved every single media we used during these two weeks, so I’ll leave here some of them:

I hope you can enjoy together at home while playing.
Besides that, we are ready for reading and we use our abilities as soon as we have the opportunity to do it!
The video below contains the 42 sounds in English (we already know all the groups and we are so proud of that!).

We are quite familiarized with them and we are learning magic «e» and tricky words.
These past weeks our children have been learning about their own face and body widdening their previous knowledge. They have also been revising phonics and reading in English. AI/OU/EE/OA/IE… step by step they are building a word of association of sounds without even realising.

We´ve been describing monsters for the last few days in year 2, designing our own monster and asking our peers about their monster: «How many eyes has it got?» «How many heads has it got?»SSee
We will continue working on this topic for a few more days as we are really willing to learn in Year 2.
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.
