New English Sounds

                                                     
 New English Sounds

This week we learnt about a new sound, the letter "M" sound, and children made many activities about it.  We sang and performanced "Five little monkeys" in order to remember  some words from the vocabulary, and practice this new sound. Also we trace the letter "M" in the air, using our fingers first and then we built the letter with some sticks, while they were singing another song with the "M" sound.
Finally, we made use of Smart board playing a game online, so like this we reviewed all the sounds of the letters A, O, M that we have learnt until now. I´d like to share a video and some photos about it. I hope you enjoy it!

During the classes...

Thanks for visiting our blog again. This time, I’d like to tell you about some activities that we have tried these weeks. As you know, school is our second home. We’re a new family now, and as a family we needed to talk about the classroom rules first. We created our own “Golden rules” and I hang them up on the wall to remind everyone.
In math, we explored colours, shapes and sizes.
In English we practiced the vocabulary through games and songs. They were learning English without even realising it. Also in Science we learnt about parts of the body by drawing our outline lying on the floor and colouring them according to the instructions
