We have been so busy during last weeks that I have not had time to come here to the blog, all my excuses! I spend all my time caring for our little learners.
During these past weeks, children in the Orange Classhave been learning a lot about the Three Little Pigs.
We have read the story together and we watched a video with the story once we knew it. We have a lot of fun with this wolf on his car!
Our kids have also built their own three houses using the materials that we collected from our playground (straw, little sticks and some homemade «bricks» using playdough 😉).
We have also played many funny games related to the story and, of course, we sang and danced a lot!
We then started our following topic: parts of the body! They have learned a laaarge number of body and face parts and we have played many games with songs and flashcards. These kids are amazing!
They love to sing along these songs and dance and dance and dance!
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!
Terminó Halloween y los chicos aún piden canciones relacionadas. En Primero de EPO hemos estado trabajando las partes de la casa y la semana que viene harán sus presentaciones sobre sus dormitorios.

Halloween has passed and our little ones are still asking for related songs. In Year 1 we have been working on parts of the house and next week they will be presenting on their bedrooms.
Here you have some resources to help them with their presentations:
In Year 2 we are working on body parts and ¡we could even dance with them! They love dancing to Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes, specially since this is not the typical dance our children are used to:
Os dejamos otros recursos sobre las partes del cuerpo:
In this First Cycle of Primary Education we not only learn English, but we also play bingo together (on body and house parts), we dance hip hop and rap to English music and even assemble impossible houses!
Soon it will be Thanksgiving. Even though Thanksgiving is not celebrated in our countries, we will teach our children how it is celebrated in the English-speaking countries. We will also try to go over all that we are thankful for.
El otoño llegó a AlquerÃa y los chicos celebraron con ilusión la tradicional fiesta del otoño, con las diversas actividades que se vienen realizando, incluyendo el certamen literario de Primaria. Fue fantástico verlos a todos en acción. ¡Hicieron un magnÃfico trabajo!
Fall came to AlquerÃa and our children celebrated with enthusiasm our traditional Autumn Festival, along with the diverse activities that we put in place, including the Literary Exhibition in Primary Education. It was fantastic to watch our children in action. They did a wonderful job!
We are also working the Autumn/Fall theme in our Year 1 and 2 classes in both English and French, along with other specific topics appropriate to their levels. Here are some resources in case you would like to practice with your children what we are working on at AlquerÃa:
