Hello to all the parents and to all the students currently attending my English classes. Spring is here and that will be our new theme when we return from the Easter break. I hope that the weather will become milder and bring our Spring theme truly to life.
Our recent themes for group 1 and 2 have been Winter, Food, Family and Shapes.
The themes for group 3 have been Winter, Food, Family, Shapes and Zoo Animals.
Lastly, our themes for group 4 have been Winter, Food, Restaurants and Farm animals.
Last week all the children learnt the different words for Easter. They also coloured in a colour by number worksheet.
The Easter worksheet was of course an Easter egg and I am so pleased to tell you that the children from groups 1, 2 and 3 were able to follow the instructions in English and group 4 were able to do this worksheet all on their own. This meant that they had to read the colours in English. So now, this shows that not only are they speaking English, but they are also starting to read in English. This makes me so proud.
My new news is, that since February I have also started giving English grammar lessons to group 8 students.
This was my own idea as I thought it would be a great help and preparation for students entering the Middelbare School next year.
I am concentrating on the basic English grammar especially the verbs To be and To have got, and the long and short forms, negative and positive forms. This will give my students in group 8 a great base for the Middlelbare School. I use a method of songs, games and worksheets, and I am very happy with the results. Group 8 are understanding the grammar lessons in an easy and interesting way.
Finally, I wish all my students, their parents, and of course all my colleagues and Directors a very Happy, healthy and safe Easter and look forward to yet another successful term!
Warmest regards.
Miss Elaine
