Tenses

We grew some critters in a cup of water. We learnt about future, present and past tense. We then buddied up and practiced the tenses. Then we shared some picture books with our buddy. The video is unedited and is warts and all.

Dreidel

One of our group-mates found a dreidel from an ESOL group from years ago. “What’s this?” he said. “Can we make one?” The children had to find out about the dreidel and make one for homework. We used a net from Enchanted Learning. Here is our video of us playing the dreidel game.

The Big Toe and penguins

We read the story The Big Toe. We thought about what the ‘something’ that wants its toe back could be. We wrote about it and drew pictures of what we thought it was.

We have been finding out about penguins over the last couple of weeks. Here are some of the things we have learned.

Up

When we came in to our room we saw that Mrs Higgs had left a picture of Up on the board from when she was working with someone in the morning. Ms Finikin hasn’t seen Up and we were telling her all about it. We wrote about the movie and some of us recorded our work. We like Up.
