AUTUMN LEAVES ARE FALLING DOWN

Autumn leaves are falling,
Falling to the ground.
Autumn leaves are falling:
Yellow, red, and brown.

THE SEASONS

With this song we learned a little more about the seasons: winter, spring, summer and autumn. We recognized some words we learned in class like seeds, cold, hot... And then we talked about which one was our favorite season and why. Here is the video.

PHONICS METHODOLOGY

La Metodología Phonics el el sistema por el que se trabaja la lectura y la escritura en Reino Unido. Es un método que resulta muy divertido para trabajar las letras y sus sonidos en inglés, tanto para los profesores como para los niños. 

Se trata de un método fonético sintético que enseña a los niños y niñas de manera multisensorial: a través de imagenmovimiento y sonido.  Enseña a los niños y niñas a utilizar el código alfabético básico para el comienzo de la lectura y la escritura. También ayuda a la discriminación auditiva, en cuanto a listenings o  una conversation, ya que conociendo los sonidos que representan las letras y por tanto los grafemas y palabras, se logra un mayor entendimiento. 

THREE LITTLE PIGS

This week we were watching this classic tale "The Three Little Pigs". We pretended to be the wolf blowing to the houses, we counted the three pigs and we singed the song. Here is the video to watch it again at home as many times as you want. 


BROWN BEAR, BROWN BEAR

This wonderful story written by Eric Carle, shows us the different colors and animals. We read it and enjoy it very much in the classroom. The second video is a song based on this book. 






WHAT'S THE WEATHER LIKE TODAY?

Every day, after the morning greetings, we talk about the weather as a part of our daily routine in the classroom. This year at school we have a common purpose: A Meteorology Project. That's why we are going to learn more and more about the weather during all the course and of course all the phenomenons that are related to it. We hope to do our bit from the English lessons too.
