KIWI CHRISTMAS

As you know our teacher assistant is from New Zealand. These days, we're learning a little bit more about Christmas in her country.

In New Zealand Christmas is a celebration in the middle of summer, a time to be outdoors and enjoying the sunshine. Most decorations will be Christmas trees or a summery take on a traditional Christmas decoration. It is most certainly still an enormously important holiday for Kiwis and the Christmas spirit is embraced by many.

Christmas Day itself is usually celebrated with friends and family and tends to be a casual relaxed day spent outdoors in the garden or on the beach. Christmas dinner will often consist of a ham, a range of barbecued meats or fish and a range of salads. For dessert there would traditionally be a Pavlova (see picture) somewhere on the table.

We're learning a beautiful Christmas song from New Zealand. We love it!

And, of course, a traditional one...!

UNIT 2 PEOPLE AND FOOD

Dear Parent,

Your child is working on unit 2. The main topic of this unit is food. In this unit your child will learn how to ask and talk about the food people like and don’t like. He/she will also ask and talk about sports and musical instruments people play.

This topic links new language to learning in other subjects. Your child is learning about the food pyramid and what you need to eat to stay healthy. Your child will complete his/her own ‘My Little Fact File of Food’ to reinforce this learning. Your child will also learn about children’s favourite food in Britain and play a game to practise specific English sounds.

In this unit your child will have the opportunity to read and write questions about what other people like and don’t like. Your child will also read short texts about the food pyramid and write a short text about his/her favourite food, following a model.

The interest and encouragement of a child’s family is very important when they are learning a language. You can support your child by finding a regular quiet time to look at your child’s English book/s and talk with him/her about what they are doing in the English class. You can also listen to the songs and stories from Footprints 3 together.

Thank you for your help in making your child’s early contact with English as enjoyable and successful as possible.

I upload some games to reinforce the content of this unit. I hope you like them!
