Autumn newsletter
the body, the weather, Halloween and the days of the week
Hi everybody
Next we look outside at the weather...
Songs
This Autumn we are singing movement songs and learning parts of the body. You can print the flashcards on the Super Simple Songs website if you want a fun way to help your child learn the words.
Halloween
We also enjoyed a mini project about Halloween.
ghost, pumpkin, spider, bat, vampire, witch
Spooky, scary,
go away!
Days of the Week
Monday - like a moon - make a crescent moon with your hand
Tuesday - like number two - hold up two fingers
Wednesday - make a W with your hands
Thursday - remember to make a 'th' sound. Put your tongue between your teeth
Friday - fry some chips in a pan
Saturday - like Saturn - make a ring with your hands
Sunday - like the sun - make a sun shape by holding your hands above your head.
In England Monday is considered the first day of the week and Sunday is the last, but in the majority of songs on Youtube you'll find Sunday is the first day.

Flashcards
Origami
Why origami?
Origami improves concentration and memory - these are important skills for language learning.
Origami is calming, quiet and creative.
We can learn a lot of new vocabulary about colours, shapes, animals, objects,
Origami also helps to develop hand-eye coordination, precision, observation and fine motor skills - all necessary skills for elementary school age children.
