TOPIC 1: INTRODUCING YOURSELF

Nicky, Profesora Colaboradora from our school, has recorded a set of possible questions related to the different Trinity topics. 
You have to practise them at home. How? By listening to them and answer them as many times as you want. Remember to make your answers as long as possible. 
Stop the recording after each question so that you have time to answer it properly. We have worked these greetings and questions in class:

Good morning

Good afternoon

Good evening

Nice to meet you
How are you?

What's your name?

When is your birthday?

How old are you?

Where are you from?

Where do you live?

What do you look like?

A CAT IN THE TREE

Floppy barked at a cat. The cat ran up a tree. 
Wilma thought the cat was stuck up the tree. She wanted to help the cat and climbed up the tree.She couldn't get the cat. She was stuck and couldn't go down.
Wilma's dad was cross with her. He put a ladder up and Wilma climbed down. 
But... what about the cat?
Wilma's dad climbed up the tree. He couldn't get the cat. He couldn't go down and was stuck!!
Who do you think that came to help him?
What a funny ending!

 

A BIG PRESENT FOR YOU!!

Children from Year 2 have worked very hard. They have learnt very well both the Christmas play and the carols of the show. 

I would like to invite my children's parents and relatives to watch their amazing performance.
Year 2B children will act out on Monday 16th December. 
Year 2A will do the same on Thursday 19th December. 
Both groups will start at 9:05. 
You can´t miss it!
You will love it!

WE LANDED ON THE RED PLANET!

We filled the rocket petrol tank very fast last week. We got enough marbles to travel to Mars and we did. Its surface and colour are spectacular. We hope to see any Mr. Alien's cousin. Will we find him?
Our next stop will be Jupiter.

Well done everyone!!

TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS

It is the name of last traditional English carol we have learnt. We are working very hard on it and we will sing it in the X-mas show. Children love it!

 Here is its video

CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

As you know, we are working very hard to perform a Christmas play. We are learning its play script and carols. YOU just have to learn and sing two of the four carols of the play.
Here they are:

WHEN SANTA GOT STUCK UP THE CHIMNEY

 Santa's carol

RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER

Rudolph's carol

These two other carols will sound in the play BUT you don't need to sing them. Some children will just dance.

Jingle Bell Rock

Last Christmas

Enjoy them all and practise at home!!

ORDINAL NUMBERS

We have learnt ordinal numbers last week. We don´t have to study their written form as we don´t write them very often. However, children could be asked for any date in the Trinity examination. I just want you to study how to say ordinal numbers from 1st to 31st. Some examples of possible questions are the following:

What is the date today?
What was the date yesterday?
What is the date tomorrow?
When is your birthday?
When is your mother's birthday?
When do you celebrate Halloween?
When do you celebrate Christmas?

Here is the list of ordinal numbers: 

WE TRAVELLED TO VENUS

I am so pleased with my children because we travelled to Venus last week. It's our third stop and we had great fun!! Congratulations everyone!!

Mr. Alien will help us explore this planet.

NOBODY WANTED TO PLAY

Wilf was cross because nobody wanted to play.
He went to the park and played on his own.
Wilf played on a rocket. "I am a spaceman" he said.
Wilf played on the see-saw. "I am a cowboy" he said.
Wilf climbed up a wall. "I am a spiderman" he said.
Wilf bought an ice-cream. He fell over Floppy and ...
What do you think happened? Yes, you are right! Wilf dropped his ice-cream!
Whoops!! 

A NEW FRIEND IN CLASS

Mr Alien arrived in the Year 2 classes last week. He is going to stay with us until summer. 
He doesn't like being alone in our school at the weekends so, taking turns, one child is going to take him home every Friday. 
When he goes to your house you have to take him everywhere you go. If you go to the cinema, you have to take him there. If you go to your grandparents' house, you have to take him there. If you go to the toilet, you have to take him there too. 
You will have to help Mr. Alien write about the weekend you spend together in his diary. Don´t forget to draw a beautiful picture or glue a nice photograph on your page.

This is what I wrote in his diary after he stayed in my house last weekend:

On Friday, Mr. Alien and I went to the cinema. We watched "Monsters University". We loved it.
On Saturday, my cousins came to my house. We played together. We ate pizza. Mr Alien was very nice with my family. Mr. Alien slept in my bed.
On Sunday, Mr. Alien and I did my homework. He helped me. We had great fun. I will miss him!

Take care of him and have fun!

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

Click on the link below to listen to the children's recording. They sing beautifully!

In the graveyard

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.

 Click on the link below to listen to the children's recording. They sing like angels!
