In the Nursery English Club this week, we sang many of our ’standard’ songs as well as learning a new one, ‘One potato, two potatoes’. It was well received.
We also learnt, that most formal of English phrases, ‘Give me five’.

This week at The Elementary English Club we learnt the names of various musical instruments in English.
In the order class this included writing and sketching the instruments, playing memory card matching and bingo. Finally we exercised our comprehension by listen to a song, Eternal Flame, and selecting the correct words to complete its lyric sheet. Many of them did very well at this final game, especially considering that it was the first time that they had encounted it.
The younger class were a little chaotic this week, but together we managed to trace the words of a number of instruments and sketch them. Afterwards we played circle games, including musical miming.
I would like to continue with this topic for another session. The music comprehension exercise was especially rewarding and I hope to build on this as the club develops,

This week at the English club we concentrated on fruit, vegetables and food in general.
In both classes we began with gathering the words we knew onto the board.
In the 4th and 5th we continued with a word and picture memory card game and concluded with various paper based activities.
In the 3rd, 2nd and 1st, we continued with some word and picture matching activities, then we read the story ‘Beans on toast’ and finally we played some circle games, including learning the song ‘One potato, two potato.’
I would ideally like to introduce some circle games to the 4th and 5th, but as yet I haven’t had the courage to do it!!
