Hello Everyone! 

This week we finished jolly phonics group 2!

We worked on 

/m/ as in MAT, MAN and MOUSE

and /d/ as in DOG, DUCK, DAD and DRUM

These are all the sounds we know: s-a-t-i-p-n-c-k-e-h-r-m-d 

we can now read CVC words such as:

     

We worked on the PETS unit in our booklet and we watched a new video

Last  but not least, we worked with the science book.

We talked about the needs of living things and the difference between domestic and wild animals.

These were our conclusions:

1- Living things need FOOD, WATER and AIR to survive.

2- DOMESTIC ANIMALS (PETS) live with people, they are our friends and help us with certain activities. 

3 - WILD ANIMALS live in natural environments, they hunt for food or eat plants.

See you on Monday! 

Have fun!

NEW APPS ON THE APPS PAGE!

Hello everyone, and happy Friday!

This week we learnt two new sounds:

/h/ as in HAND, HEAD, HILL and HEN.

and /r/ as in RED, RUN, RAT and REST.

We also learnt new vocabulary:

PETS

We worked on the science book and we learnt the difference between:

LIVING things

 a CAT                                   a PLANT          

             

and NON-LIVING things

a ROCK                 an UMBRELLA

 

After reading our book and analysing the pictures, we came to the conclusion that the difference between living and non-living things is:

• LIVING things GROW, they REPRODUCE and they REACT. 
• NON-LIVING DON'T grow, reproduce or react.

We read a story and we watched 2 videos about a fat cat that sat on a mat 

and we had some fun making our own fat cats on mats.

Hello everyone!!!

We  are happy to tell you that we finished our first Jolly Phonics group (s-a-t-i-p-n). So this past week we revised and we worked on the extra practice pages in our Jolly Phonics booklet. We also made a SOUND BOOK.

We learnt two new sounds:

/c/ as in CAT, CAN and CAP

/k/ as in KING, KISS and KITTEN

/ck/ as in SOCK, PICK and CLOCK

(they all have the same sound)

and /e/ as in EGG, PET and PEN

Last but not least, we had our first MOCK EXAM! We were tested on numbers, colours, school objects and Jolly Phonics group 1. Mock exams are a tool we use to get students used to exams. They are also useful for us teachers as they give us some feedback and help us to identify what topics need to be revised. We do not mark our mock exams with numbers and we study for them at school. There's no need for parents to study at home with the kids.

Hope you have a nice weekend!

See you on Monday!

New songs for you to sing in the SONGS & STORIES section!!!

Hello everyone! Hope you had a nice weekend! 

We are here to tell you what we did last week.

We continued working on our science book. We talked about NATURAL and ARTIFICIAL MATERIALS.

NATURAL MATERIALS such as COTTON, WOOD, LEATHER and WOOL are found in NATURE.

ARTIFICIAL MATERIALS such as PLASTIC, GLASS and RUBBER are made by HUMANS.

We also learnt/revised SCHOOL OBJECTS vocabulary and since we know a lot about materials and their properties we analysed our school supplies to find out what they are made of!

and we watched some new videos...

last but not least, we learnt two new sounds:

/p/ as in PIG, POPCORN and PRESENT.

and /n/ as in NEST, NOSE, NECK and NET.
