Hi everyone!

We have been dancing and singing in prepartaion for the school play! The kids look like this:

They have been practising the final song of the play and if they wish to, they can listen to it here.

It hasn't all been "Broadway", we've also been working on new vocabulary "rooms of the house"

The kids made a lovely house out of construction paper.

Then, we learnt about furniture:

Last but not least, we have finished the 

programme. The kids know all the 42 sounds and will very soon start reading books. They'll be able to read by using all the strategies learnt during the programme. We are very anxious. 

We are currently working on and revising ACTION VERBS:

and working on the structure of CAN and CAN'T.

Last but not least, we are learnign the last group of sounds from Jolly Phonics. Not long 'till our Jolly Phonics party! 

This month we'll be focusing mainly on the school play. 

It would be of great help, if you could practise with your child his/her line. 

See you soon!

Bye Bye!!

Hi!!! After a long month revising for the mid-term exams and the winter holidays, we are back and ready for new things.

We'll keep you posted on the latest things shortly this week. 

See you soon!

Good morning!!! 

This is what we've been up to lately.

We finished working on group n° 3 from Jolly Phonics and have already started with group n° 4.

/f/ as in FISH - FLAG - FROG 

/b/ as in BAT - BUS - BED - BAG

/ai/ as in TRAIN - PAINT - RAIN - SNAIL

/j/ as in JELLYFISH - JUMP - JEANS - JACKET

and /oa/ as in GOAT - BOAT - SOAP - COAT

We have been working a lot with the Jolly Phonics programme.

We started a new unit on food. We have learnt the names for BREAKFAST FOOD

We have been practising recognition of food vocabulary by looking at pictures and reading their names. Currently we are learning about 

UNHEALTHY FOOD

and HEALTHY FOOD

We are very proud because the kids are learning a lot and are making a big effort. Well done!

Tricky words are those words which cannot be sounded out correctly with the sounds we have been learning. We practised reading and writing them correctly:

I - HE - SHE - THE - ARE - IS

Last but not least, ArtSpot, the educational theater, performed at school "80 days around the world". The children absolutely loved it. Stay tuned for some pictures on the PHOTOS section. 

COMING SOON!

MONDAY 15TH MARCH

Hi there!!

This is what we've been up to lately: 

As regards Jolly Phonics we learnt all these new sounds belonging to group 3:

/g/ as in girl, glass, goat

/o/ as in octopus, sock, pond

/l/ as in lemon, lamp, log

/u/ as in umbrella, duck, sun, drum

The kids know a lot of vocabulary and are starting to read more and more as we go on learning new sounds. They are doing great! Congrats to all!

We've also learnt about VEGETABLES. These are the ones we know:

We are now revising weather words, the kids know them very well.

That's all for now!

Sorry for not updating our blog sooner, we are exhausted from the two busy weeks we had...

We want to start by thanking everyone for cooperating with our FRUIT PROJECT. It was great fun and we learnt a lot from the experience.

Ok, now it's time for us to tell you about our eventful weeks...

We learnt/revised some new vocabulary: FRUITS!

We made a beautiful fruit crown (you can check our photo section) and we ate some delicious fruit.

We also invited Florencia Casalia, the school's nutritionist, to tell us all about the properties of fruit.

After that talk it was our turn to play nutritionists, so we had to think about making fruit more attractive for children. We came up with some great ideas such as...

FRUIT POPSICLE

FRUIT KABOBS

FRUIT SALAD

FRUIT JUICE

On the final stage of our project, we decided to share with some friends in our school community our knowledge about fruit and some delicious fresh juice, but for that we needed menus for our guests, posters and since we were going to play waiters and waitresses we had to learn and practice some phrases such as "Welcome" "Come, please sit down" " Here's your menu" "What would you like to drink?" " What can I get you?"

Forms IV and V came to visit, they were awesome guests, they liked the juice and they gave us some interesting feedback.

Last but not least, we learnt two new sounds:

/m/ as in MOM, MOUSE AND MAT

and /d/ as in DOG, DUCK and RED

We had so much fun these past weeks! WELL DONE EVERYONE!! You were all wonderful waiters and waitresses.

Have a happy long weekend!

and...

What a short week we had last week. Short but full of learning.

We started working on the science book. We learnt about the 5 senses: 

We learnt two new sounds:

/h/ as in hot, horse, happy, hand and head

/r/ as in rabbit, rocket, run, rat and red

We hope you had a very Happy Easter!

That is all for now! 

 

 

Hello!!!

Hope you had a nice week!

This is what we did this week...

We learnt two new sounds:

/ck/ as in CLOCK

and /e/ as in EGG

We also learnt/revised some new vocabulary: FAMILY MEMBERS

Last but not least, we had our first MOCK EXAM!

We were tested on numbers, colours and school objects. 
Mock exams are a tool we use to get students used to exams. They are also helpful as they give us feedback and help us identify what topics need to be revised. We do not mark our mock exams with numbers and we study for them at school. They are another learning instance so there's no need for students to study at home.

Have a nice weekend!!!
