Since the book of C’ Class had some lessons related to habits, we expanded the idea by reading a mini book about healthy habits. So children had the opportunity to talk about themselves and to learn some extra vocabulary related to the topic.
In addition to that, they made their own mini books with cute drawings and sentences that helped them practice phrases about staying healthy.



They also had fun using secret codes to present their own healthy habits. Can you decode them?

Apart from games and songs, another amusing way to learn vocabulary is to make a craft.

So, with pupils of A and B1, we made a robot in order to practice body parts (head, body, legs, arms, tummy).

Our materials were very simple: an empty toilet paper roll converted with aluminium foil for the body,

a piece of aluminium foil shaped as a ball for the head,

3 clothes pegs for the legs

and two straws for the arms.

Here are the samples of our work:

Plates used in … another way

Together with the pupils of A and B1 classes, we talked about parts of the face and about feelings.

We played games miming face expressions, we sang songs repeating the words: eyes, ears, nose and mouth and we had fun making faces with the use of paper plates and plasticine.

Have a look at our faces..

Some of them are happy

or sad

some are angry

or even scared

But all of them are cute.

Don’t you think so?

Project – C’ Class – Let’s Make Christmas Crackers

In order to experience the fun of an English Christmas tradition, pupils of C’ class made Christmas crackers.

A Christmas cracker is a tube wrapped by coloured paper, twisted on both sides. It is pulled by two people, often with arms crossed, at the Christmas dinner table. It often contains a coloured paper hat, a small toy and a motto, a joke or a riddle on a small strip of paper.

To make our Christmas crackers we used tubes from toilet rolls. We filled them with small gifts and wishes written on paper and we covered and decorated them with wrapping paper and glossy ribbons.

Project of B’ Class – Puppet theatre

Project of B’ Class – Puppet theatre

Starting from the fact that children love puppet shows and role playing, the idea of having pupils made their own puppet theatres was tempting. So children of B’ Class embraced that idea and they decided to make it true. They used some shoe boxes, construction paper, glue, ribbons and … a lot of imagination and here are the results:

As soon as their theatres were ready, we had the opportunity to put on our “little plays”. The characters were some animal figures we had previously made. The “story” was quite simple and the volunteers to act it a lot.

Children enjoyed it and I believe that the whole procedure can be very useful, since they will have the chance to learn, repeat and consolidate language structures and new words in an amusing way.
