English in summer time, of course!!!

We’re kicking off the summer holidays and we’re really looking forward to it. We’ll be relaxing in the heart of the Dehesa Charra, spending time with friends from the village, family and wonderful neighbours.

We live in a village that’s buzzing with life in the summer; the council organises loads of activities. It’s impossible to get bored here!
We haven’t forgotten that learning requires perseverance and a desire to learn… and this summer we’ve already started working on reading, writing and problem-solving in English.
We’ve brought our library of English-language books to the village and have started reading one book a day together, out loud.
Reading aloud is absolutely vital for comprehension, and when it comes to a second language, it also helps to improve pronunciation and spoken fluency.
Yesterday we read Robin Hood and today we’ll be reading stories by Dickens adapted for Year 2 ESO level.

I’ll also be surprising you with a really cool series for 11-year-olds with a high level of English.
The series is called ‘Investigators’.

 
In addition, in the mornings I’ll be consolidating their comprehension and writing skills through simple scenarios in which they have to use sentence structures and recall vocabulary.

I have preapared a big notebook for summer time with spanish, maths and english tasks to do each day.

Álvar has had a relax year, he has  done little progess in learning in general subjects such as spanish or maths. We have done too much at home just to keep the learning progress he could follow.

Martín, has had some traditions teacher and he has worked too much this year...

Both need to practice at home, and my kids have luck...me and my husband are teachers...so learning at home, for them, It is quite easy!!!.

Here some of the tasks they have done:

In the summer it’s time to rest, but when we enjoy something, we love to keep learning… so we’ll carry on with #OneHourEnglishAtHome… but now we’ll be doing it every day.
