I can count to 20

On Friday, we wrote down numbers 1-20 on a piece of paper and cut out shapes using our favourite colours and stuck the correct number of squares, stars, or circles, beside the number. Here are some pictures!

This week in school


We are really focusing on continuing numbers 1-20. A great song to listen to at home on youtube is I can count to 20. The children really enjoy singing along to this song and for many of them it has helped them to count.

This week the Green Class have started Unit 5: Clothes in the My Little Island 3 book. For many of the children, this units vocabulary is a review of last year so I will be focusing on teaching phrases in order to communicate better. This week many of the children can ask questions such as “What is he wearing?” and answer with: “A blue and yellow hat”. I also want to teach them he, her, him, and she, so that they can ask the appropriate questions.

For our PYP, we are beginning our new unit on water. Our first line of inquiry will focus on the water sources in the world.

Have a great weekend and please practice English!

Pictures from My Town

Yesterday, the children learned about different buildings in their city and they worked in teams to make a small "my town". Many of them included a hospital, shop, police station, fire station, cars, houses, people, and animals. Here are some pictures:

This week in school

This week in the Green Class we are learning about different buildings in our community: post office, hospital, police station, fire station, shop, house, and school. I had the children come up to the smart board one at a time and complete the activity, for example:
 
"Draw a circle around the red car."
"Draw a triangle around the playground"
"Find 5 trees"
"Which building are the doctors in?"
