Here is the chant we learnt in class about the solar system.

                  Here are eight planets that we know.
                    Round and round the Sun they go.
                    Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars,
                  These are the planets near our star.
                     Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, too.
                       Neptune we can´t see you.
                These are the eight planets that we know.
                   Round and round the Sun they go.

And here is the lovely song. We enjoyed listening to it many times while you were working in class.

Spring Festival

During our third term children enjoyed participating in different competitions like Spelling Bee, Poster of their favourite story, and a group song.

They practiced daily in class and worked using several materials showing creativity and enthusiasm when working.

Here you can observe the children working together.

And here are the winners.

Independence Day

During July we listen to people talking about the holidays on the 28^th and 29^th, but are they really conscious of what this means?

We have been talking in class about our history since the Inca´s Empire, the dream of St. Martin and our Homeland Symbols. Children enjoyed all the stories about our Peru.

Second Spelling Bee Contest

In this second term I have compared the progress my students have made when spelling words. In our first contest, they were feeling insecure about the alphabet but now they are more sure of themselves and I have observed how they have improved a lot. We practiced the sixteen words daily. Students took this as a challenge and they did well. Here are the winners:

Jose María Cuya (First place)

Luna Saavedra (Second place)
Flavia Hernandez (Third place)

Congratulations!

Get ready for the third Spelling Bee Contest.

SOON!!!!!
