Doing Halloween decorations

The first cycle children coloured a Halloween pumpkin and cut it out to decorate the school for Halloween. We are going to stick them on the walls.
 
 The five-year-olds also coloured a little pumpkin!

Halloween vocabulary and songs



We are singing a Halloween song for the festival and learning some vocabulary. 


Before doing the Halloween activities, we start the class with the routines: saying "hello", "How are you?" and talking about the weather. 


 
The first level pupils practised their Halloween song in class. It is called: "Trick or treat, monster!"
The second level students had fun putting on monster masks, pumpkins masks and witch hats! They looked so scary!

We also learned the written vocabulary of Halloween.

Halloween is coming!



We like English!

Since we started the classes up to now, the children have learned and revised lots of things.
They have an active role in class, their participation is strongly important and my objective is to communicate in English in such a natural way.

The methodology is based on songs and chants, short dialogues, TPR games, videos, stories, the digital board and flashcards. The primary students also practise the written language a little bit.

The three year olds haved learned how to say "hello", "I'm happy", "It's sunny!", "sit down/stand up", "Bye-bye" and other expressions. They have also learned numbers from 1 to 3.





The four-year-old pupils began to learn English last year. We keep on working!




The five year olds are very good at English but very excited in the classroom!


With the first cycle students, in every class there is a volunteer who does the routines: saying hello, how are you?, the weather and the calendar, and introducing the next activity.
