Today, the Nursery class started their English lesson by sitting on the mat and saying hello. They followed along with the instructor.
A nice big “hello!”
After saying hello to each child, they sang the song, “If You’re Happy.” They can touch their faces when communicating “happy,” and some can say “happy,” too.
For those who don’t speak yet, they clap their hands very well. They also tried crying “boo-hoo” when sad, stomping their feet when angry, and closing their eyes when tired.
After that, they sang a finger song. This week it is “One Little Finger,” in which the children wave one finger around and then touch a body part.
They tap their finger, tap-tap-tap, then touch their head, nose, chin, arm, leg, and foot. Some tried themselves,
while others needed a little help.
Either way, the children enjoyed themselves.
Finally, the children moved to the tables for a spot of coloring in their workbooks. First, they looked at the letters they were going to color.
Today’s letters were “B” and “C,” with “B” saying “bus.” They listened a couple of times and then it was time to color.
As they colored the busses, we counted how many there were.
When it was time to say good-bye, the children wanted to keep coloring and keep their crayon.
However, time had come to an end, and books and crayons were collected. With everything put away, the children counted to 3, and waved a big “see you!”
Vocalising words is still a bit difficult for the nursery class, they are moving to the songs, and performing actions more. They are also listening nicely. Great job, everyone.
