Do you like?

This catchy song is another favourite in Class 1. It is perfect for practising food vocabulary and simple questions. My youngest pupils always enjoy it. This time, they made it their own by adding new foods and answers. 

They used playdough to make the food, which made the activity even more fun and creative.

Soon we had watermelons, lemons, spaghetti, muffins, cookie pizza, and lots of “Yes, I do!” and “No, I don’t! Yukky!” echoing around the classroom:

Tommy's in the Kitchen

This song is another favourite with my younger pupils. It’s great for revising food vocabulary in a fun way. The rhythm is easy and the funny food combinations always make the children laugh.

Tommy's in the kitchen,
Come and take him out!
Tommy's in the kitchen,
Come and take him out!

I've got an apple in my sandwich.
I've got milk on my peas.
I've got juice on my sausage.
Help! Oh, help me, please!

Tommy's in the kitchen,
Come and take him out!
Tommy's in the kitchen,
Come and take him out!

I've got carrots on my pizza.
And a banana on my cheese.
I've got chicken with my cake.
Help! Oh, help me, please!

Tommy's in the kitchen,
Come and take him out!
Tommy's in the kitchen,
Come and take him out!

My Favourite Season

 Think about your favourite season. Describe it in 50-60 words,

Organise your writing in paragraphs. These questions might help you:

Paragraph 1: Which is your favourite season? Why do you like it?
Paragraph 2: What's the weather like then? How does nature look in this season? What do you usually wear? 
Paragraph 3: What do you like doing then? What's your favourite activity? 
Paragraph 4: Where do you usually go? Who with?
Paragraph 5: Why is this season the best for you? How does it make you feel?

My favourite season is summer. It is my favourite because of the warm and sunny weather.
I enjoy wearing light, casual clothes and flip-flops.
When I’m bored, I go rollerblading or swimming in the pool with my friends.
During the summer holidays, I don’t have school, so I can relax and sleep longer. Sometimes I travel with my family. My birthday is in summer, so I can celebrate it outside in sunny weather, playing with my friends.
Summer makes me feel happy, free, and full of energy.

Milijana Stankov, V3

My favourite season is spring. I love spring because of the colours.
In spring, I can wear T-shirts, tights, and Crocs without a jacket.
I love when it’s a sunny day, so I can play on the playground all day and eat ice cream. When it’s dark, my friends and I play hide and seek.
I really like riding my bike or walking everywhere.
My birthday is in spring, so I usually celebrate it outside.
Spring is my favourite season because of the sun and flowers.

My favourite season of the year is summer.
In summer, I can go everywhere I want because there is no school. I can wear my T-shirts, shorts, and flip-flops. Outside, it is very sunny and hot. I can ride my bike, go on picnics, spend time with my friends, and go to the beach. At the beach, I eat ice cream and watermelon or drink lemonade and cold juice. My favourite activity is swimming.
Every time I think about summer, I start jumping and screaming because I am so excited.
I love summer so much because I am always with my friends, and it makes me happy.

HIPPO 2026

 This year, three groups of my pupils—12 in total—joined the preliminary round of the Hippo Contest. For some it was a familiar challenge, while for others it was their very first time. All agreed the tests felt easy, so we’re hopeful for good news in the weeks ahead. 



The local round took place on 22 March at Đura Jakšić Primary School.

Toy Shop

My Class 2 pupils had great fun chanting about toys. 

This lively chant is a wonderful way for them to practise toy vocabulary while enjoying rhythm and repetition.

Toy shop, toy shop,
Let's go to the toy shop.
Look!

A doll, a car, a bike, oh yes,
A go-kart and a train,
A ball, a computer game,
A monster and a plane.

Yes.
And there's a kite!
That's right!
