EAL Week 8
Welcome to Mr Hick, who is relieving for Mrs Bradford as she recovers from her operation.
Important Dates:
Wednesday 3 March This is the official World Maths Day but this will start for us at 11am on Tuesday 2nd March. This is because at this time the 3rd March has already started for some countries! Encourage your children to sign on to their computers and take part
I hope that we will all be able to take part in the live on-line competition at home this week and help break that world record! Let's also see if we can have somebody from our school appear in the Hall of Fame!

He will run sessions during the day for classes. From 6pm until 7pm on the 8th he will run a session for all JS parents in the refectory.
Friday 26 March End of Term 2. Classes finish at noon.
This week in the EAL classroom we will be learning:
Beginner groups
We will be working with the past tense. We will form questions with the past tense.
Examples are: Did you go to the cinema on the weekend?
Who went to the football match?
Additionally we´ll work on the future tense using "going to".
For example: I am going to visit my grandmother.
We will do reading and writing that relates to classroom Units of Inquiry.
Intermediate groups
This week we will study the present perfect tense using regular verbs.
For example: I have played football for five years.
We will also make sentences using conditionals.
For example: If our team wins, we will play in the championship.
Reminder
It is important for your child to practise reading out loud on a daily basis. This helps with pronunciation and vocabulary. All children in the beginner group will be changing reading books each time they come for EAL lessons. Please ask them to read to you and please sign their reading card afterwards.
