We celebrated Valentine by making a postcard and during these days of Carnival we made a mask, put on some make up, and acted out different caracters. The focus is on speaking but we do a little bit of writing too.
1st grade are reviewing and learning more Animal Vocabulary, as we prepare for an Animal Carnival in the next coming days.
We are playing games, reading stories, singing songs, and now preparing some Animal Masks!
❤Happy Valentine's Day❤
Our older classes talked about the history of Valentine's day, and talked about how our loved ones are an important part of our lives.
Valentines is not only a day for "boyfriends and girlfriends", but a day to show our love and appreciation for anyone in our lives.
We talked about how important it is to be grateful for what we have and to show respect and love for not only our family and friends, but anyone who might need a helping hand.
Students reflected on some people in their lives who are so special, and we created very unique expressions of our love.
We talked briefly about the history of Saint Valentine's Day.
It is misunderstood to be a celebration only for lovers.
In fact, it is widely celebrated for our family and friends too!
1st graders reviewed Family Vocabulaty such as:
Mom, Dad, Sister, Grandma, Grandpa, Cousin, Aunt, and Uncle.
Then, they used Collage to create their own expression of Love on this special day!
Upper level ESO classes have been working on a variety of activities since the New Year.
We are expanding personality adjectives on FIRST level, and writing a Review of their favorite film.
Our aim is to expand and focus on using higher level vocabulary in their writings.
They will be given a complete FIRST practice exam in the Spring to identify areas of strengths and weaknesses.
We also reflected on the past year, and set some goals for 2023.
We designed our favourite costumes for Carnival and we played with the ballons reviewing body's parts and colours. At the end of the class, we enjoyed doing our make-up!
Last Tuesday was Valentine's day and with I5 we learned the meaning of "love", "heart", ... We enjoyed decorating a heart with colorful papers! We also wrote the names of the people we love the most.
1st grade had some FUN time playing and practicing with Magic as we talked about Carnival activities that they will enjoy.

We had some SNOW this month!!
1st Graders made Snowman puppets, and later practiced Introductions for their snowbuddies,
My name is..
I am 6 years old.
I live in...
We continue to practice songs such as Simple Song's
These are my buttons
These are my Eyes...
and This is my Nose...
Of Course we also had a bit of silly of theatre.
After doing many activities like different crafts and games related to the body, the weather , numbers and colours we came back to the topic animals.
We played the game that the children have to cross the line being an animal . For example ; a cat , a dog , a cow, a frog , a crocodile, a monkey etc. And later on the children wanted to play being horses.
We always use English and the children repeat the English in a natural playing way .
How's the weather today?
We learned that days can be SUNNY, CLOUDY, RAINY, ... These days we practice singing songs, exploring the outside, looking through the window and playing a bingo! In two occasions we saw SNOW... So we designed our "Dream Rain Boots" to be prepared for everything!
We learned all the alphabet in english! We sang songs, we played different games and we completed the "alphabet caterpillar". Now we know our ABC's!
