ENGLISH PLAYHOUSE PERFORMANCE

Today all of the extracurricular classes that we have been running throughout the year invited the parents to come and see what we have been learning. One of these classes is English Playhouse, where we sing, play, dance and learn in English. We have had a really fun year and learnt so so much. Thank you to all the mummies and daddies, grandmas and grandpas for coming to see us today. We loved showing you everything we know. 

Here we have made a short video of some of the things that the children from Playhouse have been working on.

CAN YOU PLAY AND LEARN LIKE WE DO?

Today we wanted to show you how we play with flashcards in the classroom. Aside from having fun, this special game also helps us practise our listening skills in English alongside learning new vocabulary from the unit. The children have also learnt how to make up short phrases about each of the vocabulary items from the unit.

Take a look!

WHAT CAME FIRST?

As part of this months unit about food, Year 3 have been learning about where food comes from. Today we looked at an activity in which we had to organise what came first and think about the provenance of our food. 

The fruit and vegetables come from the farm

The dairy products come from the cow

The fish come from the sea

Spaghetti comes from wheat 

WHERE ARE YOU?

One of the things we have been learning recently in English Playhouse is how to describe the location of objects. The children have had great fun dancing into new places and then telling the teacher where they are.

We recorded a video to show you just how clever they are.

YUMMY PICNIC

This afternoon YEAR 3 went outside and had a picnic in the school garden. We had a wonderful afternoon sharing food and drinks, and practising our English with our teachers outside of the classroom. 

OUR SUPERMARKET

Thank you so much to all the mummies and daddies who have sent food to school to help us make our own supermarket. As you can see it looks great and we have had so much fun playing with it. We have even pretended to be shop assistants and customers in an English supermarket. 

Come and take a look!

SANDWICH COMPETITION!

Dear families of YEAR 2 students,

In keeping with this month´s unit about food, the English Department has prepared “The Sandwich Contest”. We would like you to participate with us. It will be fun! 

If you don´t have any ideas, why not search “creative sandwich ideas” in google images. It will help you to find different recipes to make your own sandwiches.

Please, do not forget to bring the recipe with your sandwiches on the 16^th and 17^th of May.

Thanks so much in advance,

WHO DO WE GET OUR FOOD FROM? 

One of the resources that we have developed to help the children learn vocabulary, questions and how to make sentences, is the poster. They can describe what they see and refer back to knowledge from previous units, as you can see in this fun video from Year 3.

GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS

With each new unit comes a new story, and as this month we are learning about food, what better British children´s story than Goldilocks and the three bears? As we study the story our teachers use lots of different activities to check our understanding, everything from questions to reordering the story cards. This month, as part of our co-operative learning programme we made our own story cards in small teams.  

OUR SUPERMARKET

Dear Dad and Mum,

Next week at school we want to make a supermarket in our classroom, but we need your help.

Each of us needs to bring a food product to school. Today we have taken home a letter in our school bag, so please have a look to see what it is that we have to bring.

Thank you,

The children in Year 1

TABLE MANNERS

Our new unit is about food and meal times so we have been learning how to set the table and appropriate table manners. Yesterday in class we made our own afternoon tea and shared some tea, cake and sandwiches.

 Look how well we can set the table with knives, forks, spoons and cups. 

How to lay the table with a fork, a plate,
 a knife and a spoon.

LOOK AT OUR FLOWERS

After a long weekend away we have come back to school and we have found that the flowers that we had planted have grown a lot. Today we watered them in the garden. 

Look how much they have grown since we planted them!
