Hello dear families!
During the last weeks, we have been doing funny games to revise what we have learnt during this year. We repeated some of our favourite games and sang some of our favourite songs.
We have been also focused on the topic of the Summer and learned a lot about this season. We love Summer in the Red Class!!
I hope you all have an amazing summer!
See you soon, take care!
All the best,
Lola
Hello everyone!
It is almost the end of our school year and I would like to tell you about our Red Class progress during last weeks.
At the beginning of the term, we studied the wild animals in English through several games, role-plays, storytelling and songs. We love dance!
We use this song to learn more about actions using wild animals topic:
But without a doubt, our Red Class favourite song is… Walking in the Jungle!
We pretend we are intrepid explorers in the jungle and have lots of fun while playing!
We also take the opportunity to benefit spring time to learn more about the butterflies and their life cycle (from an egg to a beautiful butterflie), and we built our topic around the book «The very hungry caterpillar», by Eric Carle.
We made fantastics storytelling and draws. We already know a lot of interesting things about food and days of the week!
Below you will find an animated version of the book (although we prefer the real book!):
Then we started getting ready for our trip to the farm! We played games using the animals in our classroom and listen carefully for the sounds animals to guess them! It was really funny as it was like a TV show quiz!
During next weeks we will «be immersed» in the deep blue sea in order to know more about the sea animals and, of course, about the summer and swimming!
I would also like to tell you that we are working on phonics in English and we are sooo close to identify all the sounds in group 2 of Jolly Phonics! Bravo!

Hello families!
I hope you are well! It is been a while since our last communication, but your kids are my priority!
During lasts weeks we have learned and played a lot!
We have been learning the shapes and playing many fun games related to this topic. The kids on the Red Class have also made shapes with their own bodies and we have had such a good time while playing!
After that, we designed our own monsters and revised the colours and the parts of the body!
We decided how many eyes, mouths, ears and noses our monsters were going to have by rolling a die.
Following the monster creation, the Red Class has been completely immersed in an exciting fantasy world along with princesses, dragons, knights, ogres and castles!
This is been our favourite story and the class decided to dress up in order to do a play! The result was amazing, bravo!
See you soon!

Our Red Class had lots of fun today singing the Rainbow Colors and learning about Pete, a funky cat who loves to wear boots!
This past couple of weeks in the Orange, Red, and Green Classes, we have been working on different topics, such as: routines, class rules, emotions and now, the colors! Our little ones are very enthusiastic about English and love to sing along different songs.
Nuestra Clase Roja se divirtió mucho hoy cantando la canción del Arcoiris y aprendiendo sobre Pete, un gato al que le gusta llevar botas.
En las pasadas semanas, nuestros grupos de infantil han estado aprendiendo sobre temas variados como las rutinas, reglas de clase, emociones, y ahora los colores. Nuestros peques están llenos de entusiasmo cuando toca clase de inglés y disfrutan cantando diferentes canciones en dicho idioma.
