Children in the Green Class learnt about the different parts of the face. They listened to a story about a monster and are in the process of making their own monster mask. We will role play with the masks next week
Los niños y niñas de la clase han aprendido sobre las partes de la cara. Han leÃdo una historia sobre un monstruo y están en el proceso de hacer  sus propias máscaras de monstruos. Las utilizaremos para hacer  diálogos con ellas.
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!
Estamos aprendiendo sobre las partes del cuerpo con la nueva canción de la «bean bag». Cantamos y bailamos a la vez, colocando la beanbag en las diferentes partes del cuerpo. Es muy divertido cuando intentamos cantar y bailar a la vez.
We´ve also read a story about dinosours that talks pretty much about ourselves … «How do dinosaurs go to school?» by Jane Yolen and Mark Teague. We used it to introduce classroom expectations and to choose names for our English teams: Velociraptors and Brontosaurus.

Our English teacher in the Orange Class will be Almudena.
In preparation for the trip to the farm the children in the Green class were looking at farm animals in more detail, commenting on their colour and they also made toilet roll farm animals, which we all enjoyed. This week we are playing games in the English class, learning to take turns and change activity in English.
In the Green class, children have been working on the vocabulary of different items of clothing that they will be taking to Parapanda in two weeks. They are card bags, have cut out clothes and a figure of a person to dress. We´ll continue working on that new vocabulary next week. The photo below shows an example of their work.
En la clase verde los niños y niñas se han estado familiarizando con el vocabulario de diferentes artÃculos de ropa que se llevarán a Parapanda dentro de dos semanas.
