Year 2: Phonics ai/ay/a-e. Getting ready for reading in English

Dear parents,

Our children are greatly improving their decoding of the English language (each one at his/her own pace). All of them are becoming more and more confident and they are deblocking the possible fears towards reading in another language they may have had before.

They feel so happy learning the «tricks». Here there are some videos to practice.

Orange Class, Red Class and Green Class: Preparing the visit to the farm

Dear parents,

I make this post with the purpose to get the children involved in their learning and practicing vocabulary. These past weeks we have been preparing for their different trips to the countryside. Although the topic is the same, the activities and resources are different according to the levels and class.

Orange class: songs, books…relate to the topic. Discrimination and drawing. Getting to know the sounds.

Red class: books, songs, interpretation, baby animals and sounds the they make. Let’s draw a farm!

Green class: role plays, vocabulary, songs, drawing, description of animals and guessing «Who is Who?» (but with animals). Introduction of English sounds and blending sounds to guess the word.

Next week we will prepare our suitcase with the right clothes and objects.
