FAMILIA DEDO

We have started to learn about the family and emotions. Popular nursery rhyme in Spanish: Familia Dedo. 

It's easy, try!

And a MUSTHAVE of our classes: Peppa Pig sobre el tema.

HACE SOL

Continuing the weather topic we have studied some new expressions from Little Spanish Castle

To practice listening and understanding from the context we chose Dora Exploradora.

HACE CALOR

Do you know how to start a little conversation in Spanish with someone you don´t know? Have a look at this video from Sesame Street, you´ll like it.

This week we´ve also learnt about the seasons.

A day without Peppa is a lost day, so here´s Peppa about Spring in Spanish.

MY BODY

We are practicing parts of the body and trying to sing and dance. Just one new video:

MI CARAu

We are starting to learn about the body. First the face from BabyRadio. It seemed very easy to the children. They caught it so quickly!

To move a bit we did a bilingual Potato Song from jinglebilingual. Check out their youtube channel to find this song in French or Mandarin.

And we just started the everlasting Head and Shoulders (Cabeza, hombro, rodillas y pies)

COMIDA BUENA Y MALA

My conscience felt bad about teaching how to say "HAMBURGUESA" and not mentioning vegetables. So this time we spoke about good and bad food (BUENO y MALO). It turns out your children know very well what is junk food and what's not. Some doubts aroused around nutella sandwich since bread supposed to be the good thing but teacher Kat helped us out.
No doubts about Peppa Pig. She rulez and eats healthy VERDURA.

!A COMER!

In spring our appetites grows so we are trying to learn how to ask for our favourite food.

Don't worry, we are also learning words for fruit and water :)

Pocoyo takes us to his imaginary restaurant.

!Que aproveche!

FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS

This time we have learnt how to sing Happy Birthday in Spanish (some of us already knew that song!)

We have recorded this song and our short presentations for Ricardo, a Spanish boy who just turned three. Also, we made birthday cards for him with birthday words that are Cumpleaños Feliz, globos (baloons), regalo (gift) and tarta (cake :).

ME PRESENTO

Today we were learning how to present ourselves. Our goal is to be able to say name and age like in the video below and answer questions. Children are a bit shy, so next week I'll try to make "radio interview" with them.  After the class I'll delete files.

We have also learnt some new colours presented by Peppa:

Thank you for encouraging children to watch videos on the blog, it really helps!

10 ELEFANTES

This is how we learn to count till 10. Don't be shy, humm along!

You can practice counting the fun way with one of the most popular children's songs in Spain.
Here's a video with subtitles, and our point at the moment is just to count the elephants, let's not worry about the whole text. We play as if we are elephants swinging on an invisible web adding one by one as many elephants as we can get. The last one breaks the web (and everybody ends up on the floor, obviously ;).

This one is also good to practice colours :)

¿Cuántos años tienes?

¡Hola!

Today we were learning about numbers from 1 to 5. 

And we were asking each other how old we are.  

At the end Peppa Pig helped us with numbers

There is an app for that!

I would like to recommend you free application for Android,
Aprender Jugando is a great app to learn basic Spanish. It is good for preschoolers but also for bigger children.

               

¡HOLA!

Today we have met for the first time so we had to learn how to say hello and goodbye and we got to know each other.
                                                                 !HOLA! 

                                  ¡ADIÓS!

Then we have learnt about colours  ROJO VERDE AMARILLO AZUL, MARRÓN y ROSA

Pocoyo coloured his world.
