Early Childhood Education Day.

A child's most important brain development occurs before age 5. That is why Early Childhood Education plays a very important role in society as it is concerned with the education and care of children at their first stage of learning. In our school we enhance this issue and last week we celebrated The Early Childhood Education Day. We participated in two important activities: On Monday, we sang a beautiful song during the Assembly and made a big banner. On Friday we participated in a Gymkhana where the kids had a lot of fun and then, they ate a shared lunch. My Bunnies really enjoyed the day. Let´s see some pictures.

Happy Mother´s Day!

Mother's Day is a celebration that honours mothers and motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. In our school we celebrated this important date with a performance prepared by our children. The topic for this presentation was “Disney Princesses” and our Bunnies danced a mix about “Pocahontas”. Children were so excited preparing weeks before their dance. When that special day came, they danced very well and with lots of enthusiasm. Their mums really enjoyed their performance. I´m so proud of my Bunnies.

Happy Birthday María José.

On Wednesday April 18th, we celebrated María Jose´s Birthday. Children enjoyed a pleasant moment eating cake and some snacks and candies. They sang “Happy Birthday” and gave a lot of gifts to María José. She was really excited and happy. Finally, children took home some surprises from the party.

Friedship Fieldtrip.

On Thursday April 12th, all the students from Early Years went to the Club “El Bosque” that was near to the beach. Since Monday children were so excited and anxious expecting the fieldtrip. On Thursday, we left the school at 8:30 in the morning. During the journey, children were singing songs and reciting chants that we learnt at school. When we came to the Club, children ate their lunches and went to a football court to play some motor skills games prepared by Physical Education Teachers. Then, we went to the playground where the children enjoyed a pleasant time with the games, and finally we went to a sand court to play with water guns and sand. Children got very wet but were so happy. It was a special moment to strengthen their friendship and share time between their classmates. Let´s share some pictures from our fieldtrip. Enjoy them!

Body Parts.

This week, in Science, we are learning the topic about “Body Parts”. We started this topic learning the song “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”. Here is the video, so you can sing at home.

We also worked in groups. We drew a picture of a boy or a girl on a big sheet of paper (using the kids as models), and the children decorated them.

Finally, we played the game “Simon Says”. The children followed the instructions in order to identify their body parts

Working in Class

Between 3 and 7, children are in their most important period to learn. Because of that, it’s so important that they start getting English as a Second Language. Everyday, children come to school expecting something new to learn. They learn the English Language through some subjects: In English, children have the opportunity to learn commands, songs, poems, chants, and vocabulary according to the topic that they are studying. They also learn through storytelling and at the end of the year they can retell stories and create their own ones. In Science, they can learn through experimenting and investigating about each topic. For example, when we are learning about plants, they plant and harvest different seeds. In Maths, they learn about numbers, shapes, and positions through games and exploration. In Social Studies, children learn about habits, good manners and behavior through stories, songs, games and teacher´s performances. Finally, in Religion, children learn prayers, songs and they have the opportunity to listen to parables and important topics about different religious believes.

My Eyes, My Nose, My Mouth, My Ears.

This week we are learning the song "My Eyes, My Nose, My Mouth, My Ears". Let´s sing together.
