2nd Year

How are you?

This week we're working on a new booklet: Minnie. With this story we're learning to express feelings and talk about what we can do and we can't do. We're also using the language required to talk about what we have and what we need.

The task we have for the next couple of weeks is to practise our reading skills. Again, listen to the story on the CD as you're reading it and then read it aloud, trying to imitate the sounds and the intonation as well as possible. In class, children will have to read parts of the story aloud.

Have fun!

Què tal?

Aquesta setmana treballem un nou llibret: Minnie. Amb aquesta història estem aprenent a expressar sentiments i parlar sobre allò que sabem fer i allò que no sabem fer. També estem fent servir el llenguatge necessari per parlar del què tenim i del què necessitem.

La tasca de les properes dues setmanes serà practicar la lectura. Com ja hem fet abans, escoltem la història al CD mentre la llegim i aleshores la llegim en veu alta, intentant imitar els sons i l'entonació el millor possible. A la classe els nens i nenes hauran de llegir parts del conte en veu alta.

Passeu-vos-ho bé!

3rd Year

As we’ve been learning how to give instructions and rules for several sports, why don’t we think about a few rules for our English classes as well? Some of them could be, for instance: “Sit down!”, “Speak English!”, “Listen to the teacher!”, “Do your homework!”, “Be quiet!”, “Look at the teacher!”, “Open your book at page...!”, “Don’t shout!”, “Don’t interrupt!” and “Don’t copy!”.

Those of us who want to work a little bit at home could choose one of these rules, let the teacher know our choice and then write and illustrate our rule on a piece of cardboard. That way, the teacher could put all the rules up on the classroom wall.

Com que hem estat aprenent com donar instruccions i normes per a diversos esports, per què no pensem en algunes normes per a les nostres classes d’anglès també? Podrien ser, per exemple: “Seieu!”, “Parleu en anglès!”, “Escolteu la mestra!”, “Feu els deures!”, “Calleu!”, “Mireu la mestra!”, “Obriu el llibre a la pàgina...!”, “No crideu!”, “No interrompeu!” i “No copieu!”.

Aquells de nosaltres que vulguem treballar una miqueta a casa podríem escollir una d’aquestes normes, fer saber a la mestra la nostra elecció, i després escriure i il·lustrar la nostra norma en un tros de cartolina. D’aquesta manera, la mestra podria penjar-les a la paret de la classe.

Hello!

In class we've discussed what things make plants grow and what things make humans grow. Ask your child about this and encourage an exchange of opinions. Ask them what words they've learnt. It's been fantastic to see how all the children had something to say, how they were argueing their point and ultimately THINKING! Well done, class!

Here you have a link to a fun activity to see how plants grow:

Enjoy!

Hola!

A la classe hem parlat de quines coses fan créixer les plantes i quines coses fan créixer els humans. Pregunteu al vostre fill de què ha parlat a classe d'anglès i animeu-lo a intercanviar opinions amb vosaltres. Demaneu-li quines paraules ha après. Ha estat fantàstic veure com tots els nens tenien alguna cosa a dir, com defensaven el seu argument i com PENSAVEN! Bona feina, classe!

Aquí teniu un enllaç a una activitat divertida per veure com creixen les plantes:

Gaudiu-ne!

5th Year

Test time again!

Next week we'll see if we've mastered a couple of new grammar structures and if we've acquired the vocabulary of unit 3. This is what we need to know:

• Vocabulary of natural and artificial elements of the landscape
• The present continuous in the singular and the plural (it is changing - they are changing), using different verbs in different context
• The comparative: one, two and more than two syllable adjectives (-er, -ier, more)
• Phonics: words that sound like "rice", and words that sound like "park"

In the test you will have to be able to identify and explain how landscapes are changing and you will have to compare them explaining what the differences are. Everything you need to know is in the books and the multi-rom.

Good luck!!

És l'hora de fer un altre examen!

La propera setmana veurem si dominem un parell d'estructures gramaticals noves i si hem adquirit el vocabulari de la unitat 3. Això és el que ens cal saber:

• Vocabulari d'elements naturals i artificials del paisatge
• El present continu en singular i plural (it is changing - they are changing), usant diferents verbs en contextos diferents
• El comparatiu: adjectius d'una, dues o més síl·labes (-er, -ier, more)
• Fonètica: paraules que sonen com "rice" i paraules que sonen com "park"

Al test haureu de ser capaços d'identificar i explicar com estan canviant els paisatges i els haureu de comparar explicant quines diferències hi ha. Tot el que us cal saber ho trobareu als llibres i al multirom.

Bona sort!

At the moment we are studying the state of the matter. And we're doing it in English!

Here are a couple of links we will try in the computer room, but that we can use at home too.

The first one is this:
