WE TRAVELLED FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON!!

I want to congratulate the children of Year 2A and Year 2B for their great work and behaviour. They got lots of handfuls of marbles last week and filled up the marble container. So ... we got ready to take off and counted down 

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, BLAST OFF!! 

It was our first journey in outer space and we landed right on the Moon. It was so beautiful!

CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE ON YOUR GREAT WORK AND BEHAVIOUR!!

HALLOWEEN IS JUST HERE

We all got dressed for Halloween. We had a great party in each class. Here are some pictures of us. Enjoy them!

Children of YEAR 2A have learnt a Halloween song called "IN THE GRAVEYARD". Here is its lyric

"IN THE GRAVEYARD"

In the graveyard, in the graveyard

when the moon begins to shine,

there's a doctor, crazy doctor,

and his monster Frankenstein.

Oh, my monster! Oh, my monster!

Oh, my monster, Frankenstein!
You are very, very scary,

Don´t come near me, Frankenstein

Don´t come near me, Frankenstein

Children of YEAR 2B have learnt a Halloween song called "PUMPKIN, PUMPKIN ON THE GROUND". Here is its lyric

 "PUMPKIN, PUMPKIN ON THE GROUND"

 Pumpkin, pumpkin on the ground

How'd you get so big and round.

Planted as a seed so small

Now you are a great big ball

 Pumpkin, pumpkin on the ground

How'd you get so big and round.

I CAN WRITE SENTENCES ON MY OWN

Our children made up great sentences. Here you have some examples:

"She climbed up a tree"
"Mum and Dad read a book" 
"Everyone saw the lions"
"We went to the zoo"


Write sentences at home from time to time!!

LOTS OF HANDFULS OF MARBLES

NUMBERS 1 to 100

We have learnt how to write numbers in English from 1 to 100. We have counted up to a hundred in groups, played Bingo and practised the spelling forms in the computer room. We had great fun!

THE DOLPHIN POOL

Wilf and Wilma went to the dolphin pool. They looked at the dolphins, played with them and gave them some fish. Then, they looked at the killer-whale. Wilma gave it a fish. The killer-whale jumped up and went splash. Do you think Wilf and Wilma got wet?

THIS OLD MAN

We have learnt a traditional English song about a very playful old man.

Everyone loved it.

Here is the video we watched.

 

NO HARM DONE!

We have learnt a new poem called "No harm done". The children wrote it down in their notebooks, drew a picture and said it by heart in front of everyone with the help of a magnet girl. They did great presentations! Here is the poem.
 

NO HARM DONE

When I went out

the other day,

my head fell off

and rolled away.

When I noticed

it was gone,

I picked it up

and put it on.

ON THE SAND

Biff and Chip played on the sand and they made a sandcastle on Dad. They had an ice cream. They looked at the go-carts and donkeys. When they came back, Dad was hiding. Where was he?

 

LET´S START FROM THE BEGINNING!

In this blog I will be presenting all the work we do within my Literacy classes on a weekly basis. I hope you find it useful and it helps your children enjoy the English language.

This year we have decided to motivate our children by being astronauts. We will travel through the SOLAR SYSTEM and explore its planets.

I want you to join us in our space journey!
