WINTER VACATION ACTIVITIES FOR LITERACY!

Aqui iran apareciendo actividades de tiempo libre para hacer, siempre de manera voluntaria, cuando queremos jugar para Literacy.

Esto es una version cuentacuentos del libro que empezamos antes de vacaciones. Podeis verlo en familia, escuchando y buscando palabras que reconoceis en el texto de abajo...o simplemente disfrutando de un buen cuento juntos.




Estaremos pasando a mayor grado en trabajos escritos y otras actividades a la minuscula emprenta. Podemos estar jugando en casa practicando el trazo de estas letras y familiarizandonos con ellas... Emily siempre hablara de letras que son "tall, small or with a tail"













HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

This morning we had a special activity in class to bring something special home for the winter holidays!

CORDUROY


This week we have read the book in class. 


After vacation we will work in our new books about this great story!!

THE WAMPANOAG TRIBE

We have been studying how one Native American tribe lived 400 years ago. We have looked at photographs of their houses, wigwams, as well as other student work on the topic from other classes.














Healthy Habits

Hola de nuevo familias¡¡ Hemos empezado una nueva unidad de Natural Science, en la que vamos a  hablar sobre "Healthy Habits". Vuestros hij@s conocerán los grupos de alimentos, lo que es sano y lo que no, y hábitos para crecer sanos y fuertes.
Os dejamos los enlaces de las canciones y vídeos que estamos trabajando en el aula.
Que os divirtáis¡¡¡¡¡




OUR SPECIAL ACTIVITY!

All three classes have fiished their treasure maps this past week, so today we celebrated with a special activity.


Emily visited class as "Calm Water" and talked to us about the First Thanksgiving. We looked at the special projects from older classes and learned about the holiday. Then we each invented our own Native American name and wrote it on our new books! The boys and girls that wanted their faces painted reflecting their new name got it....








Some of our favorite names were:

RED FOX
PURPLE FLOWER
GREEN FLOWER
YELLOW STAR
GREEN LEAF...
AND MANY MORE!!




HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Hoy hemos celebrado la fiesta de Acción de Gracias con nuestras clases hermanadas...hemos hecho pulseras y mucho mas! Hemos hecho grupos con las clases de cuarto.








Feelings and feeling thankful

I AM FEELING....

We have been learning how to express our feelings through assemblies, gestures, powerpoints and books. Here are some of the ways we have learned to recognize and show our feelings:

Ellen Thesleff's Echo, 1891, Finland










INCLUDED AND LEFT OUT



AND WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT FEELING THANKFUL...










Natural Science. My Body.

Hola familias, en el área de Science hemos estado trabajando el cuerpo. Ya conocen algunas partes del cuerpo y los cinco sentidos. Aquí tenéis los vídeos y canciones que hemos estado viendo en el cole. De recuerdo podéis ver algunas fotos.









MY SCHOOL


Hola a todos y todas, desde el área de Science hemos empezado a trabajar una nueva unidad "My school". Para que podáis ir repasando el vocabulario os dejamos las canciones que cantamos con los niños¡¡¡




P IS FOR PUMPKIN!

We continue to use our notebooks to review the Jolly Phonics sounds, gestures and letter formation. We were very lucky to have 2 giant pumpkins to study in class for P day!





THE DOT

We have just finished our unit based on Peter H. Reynolds' the dot



These are some of the words we have learned how to read and write:


On the very special library day in our school, some classes went to the library to read their finished books!







FLYAWAY KATIE

One of the first books we read together was Polly Dunbar's Flyaway Katie, a story about a girl who thinks of a creative way to spend an afternoon at home. We remembered many words from our time with Fernando, such as some body parts, colors, feelings...


We even made a mural together with all three classes. Each student decorated their own feather! For El Día Europeo de las Lenguas, we talked about the difference between words and not-words, decorating the mural with examples of each. 





OUR LITERACY CLASS!

We did many different fun activities to get to know our Literacy class and its spaces and routines: we decorated paper for the windows to allow natural light in all day; we practised letters with the sounds and gestures Fernando taught us; we learned how to write letters on the board...these and many more!




We also watch and listen to this song sometimes to remember the importance of raising our hand in class; there are many very special ideas we all want to share, but taking turns allows the class to listen to each and every one of them!
