Why use drama in the English Class?

Drama is one of the most effective ways to promote oral language in the class. It's an active approach to learning that makes children be participants of a shared moment inside a fictitious context, based on a story they already know, that involves movement, gestures, facial expressions and emotions.

This school year, we have started by dramatizing "The three Billy Goats Gruff" story.
Here you can see some pictures and a video of the story. We hope you enjoy it!

Some more Nursery Rhymes we love

As I said in a former post , Nursery Rhymes are essential to language and children's development. In our class, children love to sing and do the actions involved in the Nursery Rhymes we've learnt, and that we recall every day with the Bag of Songs or at any moment we want them to be relaxed and have fun. You can enjoy some of the most famous Nursery Rhymes below: Baa baa black sheep Five little ducks Hickory Dickory Dock Five Little Monkeys I am a little teapot Humpty Dumpty

Dear zoo

Yet another classic lift-the-flap book by Rod Campbell that we've been working on lately in the class.

The Bag of Songs

What have we got in the Songs Bag today? Let's open it and feel it! Last week Munchy brought another surprise to the classroom: an enormous bag full with different elements that remind us a song, such as "Twinkle Little Star", "Hello Reindeer", "Skidamarink", "Brown Bear what do you see?", "Baby Shark" and some more. A funny way to spend time with our class mates as we learn English and practice speaking!
