THE EGYPTIAN HOME

Timmy likes Egypt so much he is staying for a long holiday.

Along this topic we ask kids to draw their own home as they can see it from the street.
Then we want them to draw the inside of a given Egyptian family's house.
This story is a nice way to learn to say the rooms of a house and name some items of furniture.
Let's see Peppa's house and its furniture.



STONEHENGE


STONEHENGE
World Heritage Site.
Along this secod term we´re tackling with the New Stone Age.
We are getting to know this unique prehistoric monument located in Wiltshire, England.
It´s the remains of a ring of  massive standing stones.
It was built from 3000 BC to 2000 BC.
It is a complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age.



There´re so many theories on this  megalitic site :
burial ground, solar temple,temple of the death and place for ceremonies.

Lascaux caves.
We´ve used this video as an inspiration towards their own recreations.
We're pretty sure you´ll enjoy them so much.
Please have a look !

Our dear first grade kids drew their families and pets on the cave´s walls.




As you can realise they did it with plenty of pleasure.


We really had  unforgetable moments dealing with this stuff.
They surprised me when I saw some relatives´ names above or bellow their pictures.
They´re improving very fast their language skills with the support of their English teachers.





Scaffolding this sort of vocabulary we started singing along a catchy Family Song named " My Family and Me "
