EAL

We are off to a fantastic start in EAL this year. The students have all settled into their classrooms nicely, allowing for a smooth transition into the EAL program for new students. 

This term we have already covered the following topics:

• Introduction to the Classroom; toilets, bag, drink bottle ect.
• Set up EAL books
• About me
• How to greet people and say "How are you?"
• On the weekend..
• Feelings
• Family members
• Where do you live? Where are you from?
• Compound words
• Synonyms
• Different foods

Take a look at some of our clever EAL student's work:

Here the student's are working together to complete a food grouping activity:

Here are some easy tips to assist with English at home:

-I have briefly introduced the students to a show called Alphablocks- I showed students a quick snippet of an episode and encouraged them to watch it at home. It can help improve reading and vocabulary for students. 

-Reading Eggs is a great resource that our students get access to. Students should have received their login and password but if you need it again please contact your child's classroom teacher. 

-Get your child to listen to appropriate English songs:

-Cooking together:

Following easy to read English recipes can be a fun way to spend quality time whilst both translating and learning together:
