Today, the Kinder 2 class took advantage of a break in the morning rain to do some gardening. First, they helped dig holes in the soil.
Any chance to get their hands dirty is always good fun. Next, the planted their crop.
They were planting tomatoes and sweet potatoes. Everyone is looking forward to seeing how they turn out, and how they taste. Yummy!
Today’s English started with their favorite, “Walk Around the Circle.” It’s always a good way to start the lesson, and wake up those who are a little sleepy after lunch.
Once they had warmed-up and said ‘hello’ to each other, we practiced this month’s phrase. They were offered various foods and had to say either “No, thank you,” or “Yes, please.”
Foods such as ‘Wasabi Toast’ and ‘Broccoli Ice Cream’ got a worrying number of “Yes, please” replies. Brave.
After that, we practiced their Family Day sentence. First, the children decided what they liked doing with their parents. When that was established, the practiced giving a card to their parents and saying the phrase.
They practiced speaking loudly, and had a good laugh at the English instructor pretending to be their mum’s.
With that finished, we ended the lesson with an action song. “Let’s go to the Zoo,” where singing and performing animal actions is a great way to wind-down.
Another fantastic day, and well done with phrases for today. There were a few of them, and they gave all of them their best effort. Great job, everyone.
