4th grade Christmas Cards

Hope you all had the best time on Christmas day with your family. Did you hang the card on the Christmas tree? Take a photo of your Christmas decorations and bring it at school. You can explain me how you decorated your living room, your bedroom or your front door. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

1 Little Star on the Top of the Tree

5th grade students also learnt a xmas poem. We've been practising all month long. Watch the video. What do you think?

Christmas is forever

4th grade students are learning a Christmas Poem. Remember to say it standing on a chair on Christmas Eve! Your family will be very proud of you! :D

1st grade Christmas Poem

May your Christmas be as bright as the star on that first Christmas night. Merry Christmas! Has your child been saying these words at home? You're lucky! You've been listening to the Christmas Poem that we've learnt in the English lesson. Remember to ask them to say it standing on a chair on Christmas Eve!

Gingerbread Man

We've been listening to the Gingerbread Man story and song in P5 lately. What a surprise when we decorated paper cookies in the classroom. They became alive! They came out hot from the oven saying "Run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me; I'm the Gingerbread man! Watch the following video and photos.

Colour Rap

We sing and dance a lot in the English lessons. Have a look at the next video. How cute are these kids?

5th grade notebooks

Hi, there! We've already started unit 3 in 5th grade. This new unit is about adventure sports so children let fly their imagination and drew all these amazing pictures. What do you think?

Colours in 1st grade

This week we've been mixing colours to get new ones. We had a great time playing with paint and water. We were singing "Blue and yellow, blue and yellow, blue and yellow make green!" "Red and yellow, red and yellow, red and yellow make orange!" Ask your child for more details.

5th grade craft

We made some Arts and Crafts in fifth grade on Thursday. Halloween Straws! Remember to use them on Halloween. I'm sure that your chocolate milk will taste better than ever before with these magic straws! Have fun!

Halloween Concertina

2nd grade students had a great time learning this Halloween tongue twister:

In a big, big house there's a small, small witch with a big big hat.
And the small, small witch with a big, big hat, has got a small, small cat.
And the small, small witch with a big, big hat, has got a small, small cat and a big, big bat.
And the small, small witch with a big, big hat and the small, small cat and the big, big bat say: "Happy Halloween!"

Incy Wincy Spider

Learning the Incy Wincy Spider is sooo much fun! Check the video!

Halloween with the little ones

During the last few weeks, we learned many things about Halloween. From lots of vocabulary to a song. And even a chant about 5 little pumpkins. Children loved playing with all these stuff, too! Ask your child about it.

How to Carve a Pumpkin for Halloween

A well-known tradition is to carve a pumpkin for Halloween. Have you all got your jack-o-lanterns ready? Just in case you didn't have enough time to do it, go to your nearest grocery and get a nice pumpkin. Follow these steps to have the best jack-o-lantern of your neighbourhood. Ask an adult to help you.
1. Put an old newspaper under your pumpkin before you start working.
2. Ask an adult to cut a circle around the stem.
3. Remove the stem and dig in.
4. Use a big spoon to remove everything from the inside of the pumpkin; seeds and flesh.
5. Use a marker to draw the eyes, nose and mouth.
6. Ask an adult to cut out the face.
7. Put a candle inside the pumpkin. Switch of the lights and watch how it glows.
Have a nice and safe Halloween! :D

Autumn poem

2nd grade students learned an autumn poem. Check the video!

5 Little Pumpkins

We are learning a traditional Halloween Chant in 1st grade. 5 Little Pumpkins sitting on a gate...

P5 Medals

We are learning the colours in P5. As you may know, each child wears a medal during the English lesson. These medals are related to our Little English Book. Every Thursday, one kid gets the chance to take the book and an English music CD home. Hope you enjoy the book and the CD as well as we enjoy them in the classroom!

5th grade notebooks

Some of our 5th grade students turned out to be artists! We started unit 2 and they decorated their notebooks brilliantly. Check the photos.

Autumn Poem

Autumn is already here. In 2nd grade we learned a beautiful poem. Have a look!

Can I borrow your pencil, please?

We are learning how to ask for school objects. Be sure to watch these videos of our 2nd grade students.

Bugs Chain Game

We played a chain game during the last English lesson in first grade. Enjoy the video!

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Storytime!

Chicka, Chicka, BOOM, BOOM! Has your child been shouting these words throughout your home this week? Don’t worry… the kids aren’t learning a secret language. This week they worked very hard to learn the alphabet with this fun book, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Many of you may remember the “Alphabet” song from your childhood! Sing it at home with your kid and play a spelling game. There's also an alphabet song in the songs CD. Watch the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom story video!

Hello Colin Song

We are learning the names of the Bugs in 1st grade. Butterfly, Ladybird, Bee, Snail, Colin the Caterpillar and Annie the Ant. Last day, we did a cut out. We were able to take all the cards home! Practise the names of all the bugs with your child as well as singing the songs on the English CD. Have fun!

Location: in, on & under

We started working on prepositions in 3rd grade. We had so much fun playing around the classroom with the ice creams. Everybody wanted to play with them! Practise with your child at home. In, On, Under!

New Books!

We started working on our books in 1st grade. We had a great time colouring, singing songs and listening to the first tale of the year: Hide and Seek. Colin the Caterpillar, the main character of the book, plays Hide and Seek with his friends. Ask your child to tell you the story, it's so fun! Enjoy the photos!

5th Grade Notebooks

We spent the week doing some revision in 5th grade. We wrote about ourselves, talked about likes and dislikes, and met The Bugs Band. I asked the children to draw a beautiful cover for unit 1. I'm quite happy, some of them were really nice ! Congratulations winners!! :D

English Notebooks

On Wednesday, we started decorating our English notebooks in 4th grade. What do you think of them?

First Day of School

I thought it would be a great idea to take some pictures of the first day of school. Children were excited to start and meet their new teachers. New uniforms, new schoolbags, new faces... How was your first day?

September- New School Year!

Hi! Welcome back! :D
How was your summer? Did you go to the beach? Did you go to the swimming pool? Have you been abroad? NY or London? Anyway, wherever you've been or stayed, hope you had the best summer holidays ever!!
It's already September. After a well deserved break... it's time to go back to work, school and daily routines.
Teachers started working a few days ago, getting ready for a year full of surprises!
We are very excited to see your pretty faces tomorrow. :D
Have a good start!!

ENGLISH WEEK 2010

Hi, there!
Everything comes to an end, and the 5th English Week Edition already did. We've been so busy during the past three weeks that I didn't even have time to post anything about the English Week. We're so proud how things have gone. Children had the time of their lives on the stage. Each and everyone did their best. We've learnt together that English is great fun! I want to thank all the parents who could come and those who'd like to come but because of their schedules they couldn't make it. And of course all the teachers who were involved in the project. The English Week is here to stay for long! Hope to see you next year. Some ideas came up, so now we've just started working on the 6th Edition of the English Week.

Happy Easter to everybody!

Hope you enjoy this week as much as you can! See you all in April!
