MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Dear friends,

This first term at L'Oreig has been fun - tastic !

We have been playing a lot of games, playing a lot of music, singing along and dancing all around :-) 

Also we had the time to have  great super assistants (P4 and P5) every week. 

Please find below special Christmas wishes from Cérvols: 

Kindly see below Christmas carols played by preschoolers:

P3 - HELLO REINDEER

P4 - OH CRHISTMAS TREE

P5 - SANTA HIGH IN THE SKY

PICTIONARY

Dear friends,

These days we have been practising our drawing and vocabulary skills through a simple but really interesting game: Pictionary. One kid draws the word that the teacher whispers to his/her ear, the rest of students raise their hand when they know that word in English. We are playing this game with Esquirols and Cérvols.


In this Pictionary day, we practised the vocabulary related to musical instruments in English.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Dear friends,

Kindly note that Halloween is here and Frankie the GHOST has arrived once more to wish HAPPY HALLOWEEN and sing the song with us. 

This year the chosen song is Scary Go away scary by Super simple Songs. We strongly recommend you their songs due to the fact that are easy to be learnt, graphics are great and quite often involve body movement too.

Formigues meet our friends

During the first month of this School year our youngest pupils get the chance to know our friends. Frankie, Dizzy, Spot, Tex and Aaron. We also like to dance to songs all together.

WE FOUND FRANKIE'S GUITAR !

Dear All,

Please be informed that after some days of search we have finally found Frankie's guitar.

Some days ago Frankie announced that he was sad due to the loss of his guitar. Then we advised all kids to look for his guitar and inform any teacher in case the guitar was seen.

On Friday 09th October during Cérvols forest walk, the guitar was spotted next to a tree. Cérvols were really happy and Frankie too. Frankie was so excited that he performed a concert with his guitar for Esquirols and Formigues too.

WE LIKE TO ROCK !

Dear friends,

As you may know we love music.

With Cérvols we have divided the class in 2 groups, one is called THE ROLLING STONES  and the other the BEATLES, same groups as last year. 

Esquirols are divided in QUEENS and THE RAMONES and Formigues will have to wait to Rock and Roll until they become ESQUIROLS. This year our youngest pupils are divided in Dragons and Jackies in order to practice the song Puff the Magic Dragon.

Each group is identified with an iconic song to be sang every time we get together. The Beatles group sings Yellow Submarine and Rolling stones sings I can't get no satisfaction. 

We truly believe in the power of music to teach English. With this simple exercise to pretend that we are the Rock band we are trying to copy, we develop abilities such as effort, attention, team work, practice and improve, English pronunciation, instruments vocabulary guitar, drums, bass, microphone... and for sure in front of all of these abilities comes FUN, we really have a good time :-)
