Tongues Out and Cards Up! — Learning Body Parts the Fun Way!

 This week, our little artists from Year 3 of Infant Education had lots of fun learning the parts of the body. And what better way to do it than by colouring, cutting and playing games together?

First, everyone made their own mini flashcards. They coloured them beautifully and cut them out carefully. Some of them were working so hard that a few tiny tongues were sticking out! That’s how we know they were really concentrating!

When all the cards were ready, it was time to play!

Game 1: “Flip & Shout!”

All the cards went face down in the middle of the table. The children took turns turning one over. The first person to say the correct word won the card. There were lots of smiles, laughs and excited voices! The winner was the one with the biggest pile of cards.

Game 2: “Find It Fast!”

In this game, each child had their own set of flashcards. The teacher said a word — “nose!”, “ear!”, “leg!” — and everyone had to find that card as quickly as possible. The first to put it in the middle won not only the card but also the cards from their classmates. It was fast, funny and full of learning!

At the end, the classroom was full of happy faces, laughter and proud winners showing their cards. Learning the parts of the body has never been so much fun!

HALLOWEEN HAT PARADE 2nd EDITION

Halloween arrived, and with it, our second annual hat parade! 🎃

After making our hats at home and thinking about the designs, we brought them to school to decorate them and create terrifyingly fun and original hats! 

On Tuesday, we held our parade, and it was a super fun day because we got to see all the hats and parade with our own! 

Afterwards, we decorated the school hall with all the hats.

 It all looked so beautiful!

 And next year... bigger and better!

Families bring language to life!

In our language classroom, learning is even more fun when families join in! When moms, dads, or grandparents take part, children feel proud, happy, and more motivated to learn. As you can see here when we had a visit in Year one class.

Families bring songs, stories, and traditions that make the language come alive. Together, we create a warm, friendly space where everyone learns and grows. We were told information about their trip to Leeds, son on one hand we got to know better our classmate and on the other hand, we could explore new places in England.

We read a book about Halloween and practised vocabulary about this tradition. Here you can listen to the story: FUNNYBONES! writen by Janet and Allen Ahlberg

Because learning a language is not just about words — it’s about sharing, understanding, and connecting.
We are very lucky and we want to open our class door for everyone who takes the chance!
