June 25th - 2 new songs to sing and practice

Hello everyone,

It is certainly a very hot day so lets relax, cool down and have some fun with 2 new songs! These are songs I learned when I was very young so I hope you like them.

The first song is about an old lady who swallowed a spider then has to swallow more and more bizarre animals to solve her problem. The second song is a very famous song and is about a very famous general from the UK who named the Duke of York.

Just click on the link, do the "preparation" activity to match the words and pictures, then listen to the song once or twice and sing along, please remember to TURN ON SUBTITLES!
After the song please play the little game below the video.

Have fun and a lovely day!

June 16th - I spy game and Food game

Good morning once again folks :)

Today I prepared 2 little activities and games for you all to enjoy.

The first game is called "I spy" so you will have to carefully watch the video and then watch again while singing along and spotting all the objects in the game.

The second game is about different types of food and drinks and you will have to choose between saying "A" or "some". For example a banana or some banana? some grapes or a grapes?
For this game you can choose different difficulties, START WITH EASY and then if you can do it try medium and onwards!

I hope you enjoy and best of luck! :)

June 15th - Social science months & seasons extra help

Hello everyone.

Welcome to the last week of school! Hope you're all excited for the summer :)

You are all starting a new unit in English today so while you need to concentrate on that I thought it would be a good idea if we revised our social science with facts about the 12 month of the year and seasons.

In the first link you will listen to a song of the months of the year and sing along, afterwards you click 'GAME' below the video and will have to click and put the 12 months in the correct order.

The second video/game can be a little bit more difficult as you need to put the words in the correct order but try and do your best!

In the 3rd link we have a little game about nature and weather for some extra revision

As always have your computer sound up loud and turn on subtitles :)
