Another busy term has started and the EAL students are already working hard on their new topics.
Another busy term has started and the EAL students are already working hard on their new topics.
Year 1 are talking about toys and Year 2 are learning about different modes of transport.
In Year 3, our heroes - Ben and Lucy - have been called to the hospital, so the children are practicing language about being unwell. Year 4 has started a new topic about Space. Their story is reaching the conclusion as it moves to a Planetarium.
The Year 5 children are discussing tourism as their story has moved to Istanbul and finally the Year 6 group is looking at explanation texts about the Water Cycle and Plants.
We also start the New Year by welcoming one new EAL student: Ema in Year 2.
Finally, in the interests of letting the children have their own input; this week they were asked two questions.
What do you like about EAL?
Is there anything you would like to change?
Some answers included;-“more games”, “more stories”, “don’t change anything”, “I like learning in EAL”, “it’s fun”, "I like everything!”, I love Ben and Lucy stories”.
Thank you to all of those who gave us feedback – we hope we can keep the EAL lessons interesting, fun and informative.
