4th Year

Our command of English is improving very quickly. We’ve just learned the main parts and joints of the body, as well as some types of movements that we can do with them; and we are also able to make simple physical descriptions, both orally and in writing.
Our teacher has encouraged us to practise online some of the new vocabulary and structures at: http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/make-your-own/make-your-monster. It might be a good way of keeping on learning and having fun at the same time, mightn’t it?

El nostre domini de l’anglès està millorant molt ràpidament. Tot just hem acabat d’aprendre les principals parts i articulacions del cos, així com alguns tipus de moviments que podem fer amb aquestes ultimes; i també sabem fer descripcions físiques senzilles, tant oralment com per escrit.
La mestra ens ha animat a practicar on-line part del nou vocabulari i estructures a: http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/make-your-own/make-your-monster. Podria ser una bona manera de continuar aprenent i divertir-nos alhora, oi?

2nd Year

Hello again!

This week we've started a new unit. We will be studying good and bad habits for our teeth.

We have to do a couple of things:

1. Listen to the story "The Dentist" in the CD.
2. Bring a picture of food: we'll stick it in a poster after we've discussed whether it is good or bad for your teeth.

Have a good weekend!

Hola de nou!

Aquesta setmana hem començat una unitat nova. Estudiarem els bons i mals hàbits per les nostres dents.

Hem de fer un parell de coses:

1. Escoltar la història "The Dentist" al CD.
2. Portar una imatge d'algun menjar: l'enganxarem a un pòster després de discutir si és bo o dolent per a les dents.

Bon cap de setmana!

1st Year

We’ve devoted the last four sessions of English to art and, more specifically, to Vincent Van Gogh and his most popular paintings. This means that we can talk about the latter, especially about “The Bedroom in Arles” and “Sunflowers”, and we can also give some important information about the artist.
Since this weekend we’ll have our Student’s books at home, we’d like to show to our parents what we’ve learned about this Post-Impressionist painter and his works of art. In English, of course!

Hem dedicat les darreres quatre sessions de llengua anglesa a l’art i, més concretament, a Vincent Van Gogh i les seves pintures més famoses. Això vol dir que podem parlar d’aquestes últimes, sobretot d’“El dormitori de Van Gogh a Arle” i “Els gira-sols”, i també que podem donar alguna informació rellevant de l’artista.
Com que aquest cap de setmana tindrem el llibre d’anglès a casa, ens agradaria mostrar als nostres pares el que hem après sobre aquest pintor postimpressionista i les seves obres d’art. En anglès, és clar!

2nd Year

Hello!

This long weekend your children will take their books and notebooks home. They have to complete two tasks (as written in the diary and explained in class):

1. Read Josphine's story on page 6 of the book.
2. Finish October's cover in their notebook (and the general cover if they haven't already). They have to decorate and colour the page.

ATTENTION:  they do NOT have to memorise the story, they just have to practise it (listening to the CD too) so that they can read it loud in class.

Have a good weekend!

Hola!

Aquest cap de setmana llarg els vostres fills han portat el llibre i la llibreta cap a casa. Han de fer dues tasques (tal com hem escrit a l'agenda i hem explicat a classe):

1. Llegir el conte de Josephine de la pàgina 6 del llibre.
2. Acabar la coberta d'octubre de la llibreta (i la coberta general si no ho han fet ja). Han de decorar i colorejar la pàgina.

ATENCIÓ: NO han de memoritzar el conte, només l'han de practicar (escoltant també el CD) de manera que la puguin llegir en veu alta a classe

Bon cap de setmana!
