SHAPES

We've finished off the school year by reviewing numbers and colours through the introduction of shape names: circle, triangle, square and rectangle.

The following songs were used in class but we also completed some worksheets and created shape collages (the children coloured basic shapes, cut them out and created simple pictures - house with triangular roof and a circle for the sun).  I also allowed them to manipulate wooden shapes and categorise them.  To encourage oral expression, I asked them questions about the shapes: Is it big or small?  What colour is it?  What shape is this?  How many triangles are there?  How many blue squares are there?

The three-year-olds drew flowers using circles.  We practised on the digital board first.  We sang flower songs to review and reinforce the vocabulary item: flower, before drawing the flowers.

Sing a Song of Flowers


Five Little Flowers



The Circle Song


I'm a Circle

The Triangle Song

Triangle Songs for Kids


Square Song

Square Dance Song









Space: star, sun, moon

In class, students learnt about the solar system.  I decided to introduce some songs focusing on some basic vocabulary items: sun, moon, stars.

Below are songs we used in class.  Additionally, I reviewed numbers using worksheets which involved counting stars.

TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR


THE STAR SONG



THE SUN AND THE MOON




On the farm

My students visited a farm and spent time learning about farm animals.  I used this as the basis for the we did related to the farm.

Students learnt basic vocabulary such as: farmer, chick, duck, dog, sheep, hen, cow and goat.

I used the following songs to introduce and reinforce these vocabulary items.

The Animals on the Farm

The Animal Sounds Song


Old McDonald


Bingo (dog)



Peppa Pig Spring Episode (chick)





Hello Summer!

Friday is the last day of school for my students.  To help them remember what they've learnt, the following posts will deal with some of what we worked on in class.

Since my last post on Spring, we've practised Calendar language; we've learnt the names of some farm animals; we've learnt some words related to space and we've learnt the names of some shapes.


I Love Summer


A Very Hot Day

AN EASTER EGG HUNT IN SPRING


We've been working on vocabulary related to Spring for the past two weeks.  We've sung songs about the seasons, focusing on Spring.  Initially, I stopped the video to focus on key elements associated with each season: Winter (snow, hat, scarf, coat, boots); Spring (flowers, green leaves, raincoat, umbrella, rain); Summer (sunny, hot, lemonade, swim) and Autumn (red, brown, yellow and orange leaves, Halloween).  I also took the opportunity to reinforce the calendar work that we do on a daily basis (using songs about the days of the week, months and seasons, children learn time/calendar vocabulary).


SEASONS



Using lots of mime and dramatisation, the children have learnt the following words: flowers (we mime picking a flower and smelling it); bees (we make buzzing sounds and pretend to sting each other); butterflies (we join our thumbs and move the rest of our fingers like butterfly wings) and birds (we flap our wings).
The three-year olds have coloured a simple picture of a flower and we reviewed the colours green, yellow and orange.  They've also coloured an Easter Egg using their favourite colours.  We used this opportunity to talk about other colours like pink, brown and purple.
The four-year olds coloured a bee (reviewing the colours black and yellow) with a blue background for the sky which they then cut out.  We're using the bees to decorate the classrooms.  This week, we will trace patterns on an Easter Egg and they can decorate it.
The five-year olds have done a colour-by-numbers picture of Spring, they've drawn a picture of Spring and, after watching an episode of Peppa Pig about Spring (see below), they're colouring a picture of an Easter Egg hunt which includes, a rabbit, a chick (key vocabulary for Spring and Easter and also for farm animals which we will start work on in two weeks) and several Easter or chocolate eggs.  Once they finish colouring the picture, they must count the number of eggs hidden in the picture and write the number below it.  All of this has been explained in English using known vocabulary, mime and repetition of key words.


SPRING



Finally, we've ended each lesson with the following "Goodbye" song which contains the word, "butterfly".


SEE YOU LATER, ALLIGATOR



Revision of what we've done before is always integrated into new lessons.  We also get a glimpse of what we will learn in future lessons (animals, food, etc.) so that students have some prior knowledge when we start working directly on these elements.
