June

We're heading towards the end of our school year and the last few lessons were dedicated to the country where English is mainly spoken and more specifically to its capital city, London!

The learning objectives set for our learners are the following:

  • to recognise and name popular sights of London
  • to count from 1-12 while listening to the strikes of the Big Ben
  • to experience boarding a double-decker bus while singing the song "The wheels on the bus" and doing the right moves
  • to present through an experiential-kinesthetic game the way in which the Tower Bridge functions

So, after we located Greece and England on Google Earth, we took a guided tour here

We discussed about river Thames, the Big Ben clock, the Buckingham Palace, London Eye, double-decker buses, etc. Then we had the chance to see them again in Peppa goes to London'

Getting on the bus was so much fun! We arranged our seats neatly and sang along while doing the right moves!

 

Finally, two children were chosen, tied their hands up in the air pretending to be the Tower Bridge as it lifts when the ships need to cross underneath. The rest of the children created a line walking under the bridge and each time music stopped the bridge went down and ...oppps... caught a child who had to leave the game. The last one to remain was the winner!!!

 

 

 

On our final day, we coloured the cover page of our English folder.
