Here the last entry of this school year and I just wanted to thank you for letting us be part of your kids’ learning journey.
During the last two weeks we have been focusing on the the topic of SUMMER, and … now that it has officially arrived since yesterday… enjoy, play, swim, eat some ice-creamand be happy!
Below our favourite summer song to help Mr Sun in appearing during these days (we have even invented a dance for that and it was soooooo funny!) and a «yummy» song about ice creams!
I hope you are doing well! We are almost entering the final stretch of the school year and our little learners from the Orange Class have enjoyed all the activities during the last weeks.
We did not want to miss the opportunity to benefit our garden and park to learn and study the spring and the bugs and all the natural events that the spring brought to us.
We played games, made role-plays and we had to “fish” the insects as well in the class! (Fake insects, by the way).
We also made a spring scavenger hunt in our park! It was so funny and we found out many spring elements such as puddle, ants, leafs and sunshine.
Here some songs they love to mimic and dance:
Then we had to prepare ourselves to visit the school farm so we started learning more about the farm animals in English: sheep, cow, pig, rabbit, duck, cat, horse, dog…
We played several games to identify which animals live in the farm and which animals live in the jungle or in the sea…
We read some books about farm animals and sing along many songs!
Our Orange class is willing to learn, it is incredible!
Old McDonald’s farm has also been a central key to us during this topic so we sing his song along together during all our English lessons. We also had a “stick farm” to hide the farm animals inside and let the other kids in the class guess our hidden animal using sounds! It was really funny!
Steve and Maggie’s videos seem to be so interesting for our kids so we used this one to learn more facts about farm animals:
During the next weeks, we will be focus on the summer topic, getting ready for our holidays 🙂
And… Last but not least… we are glad to announce you that we have started our learning about phonics in English while dancing and singing along with the song below!

We love start or finish our English lessons with this song and playing fun games while learning how to pronounce the phonics in English!
This is the last entry of this 2020-21! I just wanted to thank you for having such nice, smart kids! They grew up and learnt so much during this year…!
During the last few weeks, we have been focusing in the the topic of SUMMER, and … now that it has officially arrived… have a lot of fun, enjoy as much as you can!
Look how much fun we had in the Orange Class during these last days!
We had some time to draw and paint our favorite bugs while practising our comprehension skills …
We danced and played imitating them…
We played some interactive games to revise vocabulary…
And we even had time to play more physical activities with balls!
Before finishing the week, we made a huge, wonderful work of art in the blackboard where every kid drew their favorite bugs. We had to guess which bug was it! Isn’t it amazing?!
During this week, we have continued working on BUGS! The children can now identify and name some of them, and sort them according to their color or size.
One day, they fancied playing with the hoops, so we had a VERY FUNNY session of physical activity in English, using some action verbs (jump / go / stop / sit down / stand up), our class BUGS and the hoops!
We also had time for relay races and singing some songs!
