The Alphabet

Hi parents,

So we have started work on the alphabet. It is something that I normally start in P5, but the children are doing so well I thought I would start now with them.

The best way to learn it it is with this song:

There are many games that we do in class, here is one that I think works best for the children:

Choose letter names.

The children are doing exceptionally well, some of the work we do in the book is very challenging but they are exceeding my expectations.

Thank you,
Tom

Numbers

Hello parents,

We have started work on numbers 11-20, we are also refreshing our memories of numbers 1-10 that we studied last year.

Like everything we learn the best way to reinforce what we do is through songs and games. So here is the song that is helping us to learn:

And here is a really good game:

Please practice at home!!

Thanks,

First classes

Hi Mummys and Daddys,

So we have had the first week of classes. The children were very enthusiastic and we had great fun.

In the first class we started the workbook, completing the two pages. The children were then asked to vote on who they wanted as their class mascot; Winnie the Poo or Eeyore. Eeyore was chosen with 10 votes to Poos 9, very close!!

We then started to act out the morning routine with the key words:

Wake up (despertarse)

Get up (levantarse)

Get dressed (vestirse)

Eat breakfast (desayunar)

Brush your teeth (cepillarse los dientes)

In our second class we watched two episodes of Peppa Pig, each child was asked a question during the episode, for example "what colour is George´s t-shirt", "what animal is Peppa´s best friend".

We then reviewed the numbers that we learnt last year (1-10) followed up by Lecky´s numbers game:

Finally we repeated the morning routine scenario from the other day and explained to the children where Eeyore would be spending the weekend.

Thanks,

Tom
