2nd Year

For a long time we've been studying the days of the week and the numbers in different contexts. This week we have taken a handout home to practise a little bit more and show parents how well we know this vocabulary. We are also going to draw something we do on our favourite day of the week.

Ja fa molt que estudiem els dies de la setmana i els nombres en diferents contexts. Aquesta setmana hem portat a casa una fitxa per practicar una mica més i ensenyar als pares què bé que sabem aquest vocabulari. També dibuixarem alguna cosa que fem el nostre dia preferit de la setmana.

Bona sort!

2nd Year

Hello again!

At the moment we are working on a story that is helping us think about what we need to grow up, but also what plants need to grow up. We've learnt the parts of a plant and we've learnt to express our feelings. We are practising our pronunciation with a song and a rhyme. We are learning to express our opinion on the class. And we are revising the days of the week and the numbers, up to 20, but there is no reason not to go beyond. So, we are working hard!

This week your children will take a story home to read it to you. Please listen to them, and to the CD, take the time to sit with your children and congratulate them on their efforts.

Hola de nou!

En aquests moments estem treballant un conte que ens ajuda a pensar què ens cal per créixer, però també que els cal a les plantes. Hem après les parts d'una planta i hem après a expressar els nostres sentiments. Estem practicant la pronúncia amb una cançó i una rima. Estem aprenent a expressar la nostra opinió sobre la classe. I estem repassant els dies de la setmana i els nombres fins el 20, però no hi ha cap raó per no anar més enllà. Així doncs, treballem dur!

Aquesta setmana els nens i nenes duran el conte a casa per llegir-vos-el. Si us plau, escolteu-los a ell i el CD, aprofiteu per seure amb els vostres fills i felicitar-los per l'esforç que estan fent.

1st Year

Dear families,

Over the last two weeks we've been working on a very "useful" story: it is called Ice cream and it's about a boy who keeps asking for ice cream everywhere he goes. With this story your child will be able to ask for anything in English, so encourage him/her to do it at home too.

Soon, he will take the booklet home to show it and read it to you. You can listen to the text on the CD and help out with the reading and pronunciation.

We are also working on a popular song in order to train our ears and our mouths to imitate English sounds. Here's a link to The Bear Went Over The Mountain:

Have fun singing it!

Finally, we have been learning to say "Go to the...", which will be useful for you, parents. Here is a list of places we've studied: park, restaurant, supermarket, bedroom, bathroom, living room, dining room, kitchen. So now you can send your child at least to some of these places!

Benvolgudes famílies,

Les dues darreres setmanes hem treballat un conte molt "útil": es diu Ice cream i parla d'un noi que demana un gelat arreu on va. Amb aquesta història els vostres fills podran demanar qualsevol cosa en anglès, així que encoratgeu-los a fer-ho a casa també.

Aviat portaran el llibret a casa per ensenyar-vos-el i llegir-vos-el. Podeu escoltar el text al CD i ajudar-los amb la lectura i pronúncia.

També estem treballant una caçó popular per tal d'acostumar l'oïda i la veu a imitar els sons anglesos. Aquí teniu un enllaç a The Bear Went Over the Montain:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtN9lHro96g

Passeu-vos-ho bé cantant-la!

Finalment, hem après a dir "Vés a ...", cosa que serà útil per a vosaltres, pares. Aquí teniu un llistat dels llocs que hem estudiat: park, restaurant, supermarket, bedroom, bathroom, living room, dining room, kitchen. Ara ja podeu enviar al vostre fill com a mínim a algun d'aquests llocs!

4th Year

In the last two weeks, we’ve been working on the present continuous tense. We use this verb form to indicate that an action or a situation is happening  now, at the moment of speaking; and we make this tense with the correct form of the verb to be (am/is/are) and the “ing” form of the main verb. We know all that, but… how about practising the present continuous tense a bit more? Let’s click here, then.

Cheer up!


Durant les darreres dues setmanes, hem estat treballant en la forma verbal “present continuous”. Utilitzem aquest temps verbal per indicar que una acció o situació està passant ara, en el moment en què parlem; i el construïm amb la forma correcta del verb “to be” (“am”/”is”/”are”) i el verb principal acabat en “ing”. Sabem tot això, però... i si practiquem el “present continuous” una mica més? Cliquem aquí, llavors.

Ànims!

3rd Year

Day by day, we’re becoming more and more expert at plants. We already know what they need to grow, as well as their main parts and the functions of each one of them. It’ll be interesting to have a look at these web pages in order to review what we’ve learned up to this moment:

Cada dia som més experts en plantes. Ja sabem què necessiten per créixer, així com les seves principals parts i les funcions de cadascuna d’elles. Serà interessant fer una ullada a aquestes pàgines web per tal de revisar el que hem après fins ara:
