English Day for grades Pre-5

I really, really like the English program of the primary school here. The teachers are creative, energetic, and prepared. The students seem to be thriving under their tutelage. As much as I am not an primary school teacher, I love the time I spend with the little ones. The fact that they love me doesn't hurt, either. One of the things the primary English teachers do is plan and execute an English day every couple of months. On English day, the students perform for the other students. The English day we just had was really fun.






Each 5th grade class prepared a news report about the weather in different parts of the world during different seasons. Each location had a reporter who talked to the girls about what they were wearing and what kinds of activities they do during the season. The girls spoke loudly and clearly about their topic.




Each 4th grade class decided to focus on Justin Beiber. They began by singing one of his songs and then they pulled out posters they had made that told all about his life. After explaining about his life, they sang another one of his songs and even had choreographed moves. It was cute (and funny, although it wasn't supposed to be).





Each 3rd grade class prepared poems, with different girls reciting the poems. Some of the 3rd graders have shockingly good prononciation.



Each second grade class prepared a couple nursery rhymes.


Each first grade class prepared a couple poems with moves.





Each kindergarten class acted out a couple nursery rhymes, and each pre-kinder class sang a couple short songs.


It was all very cute and all in English. I had the students do some chants with me at end since there was a little time left. We did Chiquita Bananas Unite, Boa Constrictor, and Ooka Cha Cha. I was extremely hot and sweaty when it was over (not that anyone needed to know that).
