First of all, I'd like to welcome you to my blog. My intention's to make it a place for cherishing great memories of working with school children. Here you'll find some tips, projects done by my pupils, their essays and poems, video clips (I don't know if it's me, but my pupils really enjoy singing), and things that can be interesting and useful. All the photos, videos and pupils' work are published with permission. All media are either original, free for use, or include credit to the source.

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.

At the Circus
This new generation of Class 2 pupils loves singing this fun song about animals!
It’s an easy way to revise vocabulary and always brings cheerful energy to the lesson. The rhythm is simple, the repetition makes it easy to remember, and the playful mix of animals brings smiles every time.
Look at the spiders,
Look at the rats,
Look at the lizards,
Look at the cats!
Look at the elephants,
Look at the dogs,
Look at the ducks,
And look at the frogs!
Spiders, cats,
Lizards and rats.
Ducks, dogs,
Elephants and frogs.

Busy Week
This Class 5 generation’s favorite song is one we learned three years ago.
When it was time to revise the present simple, it was the perfect warm-up. Later, the pupils used activities from the song to write about what they always or sometimes do, and to practise the -s ending with he or she.
It turned out to be a fun way to practise grammar while enjoying music.

Animal Habitats
Class 2 pupils revised the names of animals and then worked in teams to create posters showing farm, forest, jungle, and ocean animals.
They sang songs connected with each habitat, which made the activity fun and gave them ideas to improve their posters. Each team carefully labelled the animals they had drawn, so the posters became colourful and easy to understand.

SDG 14
As part of our project activities, Class 2 pupils explored SDG 14: Life Below Water.
We began by watching a short video and discussing what we saw, especially how the sea animals felt when surrounded by things that do not belong in the ocean.
To make learning fun, we sang songs and played games to revise and learn the names of underwater animals.
Next, we joined forces with our international partners to create a collaborative story about animals, pollution, and hope for a cleaner ocean. Each school chose a situation, added a drawing to illustrate it, expressed an animal’s feelings, or suggested a solution.
I invited my pupils to create a poster together. Each child drew a sea or ocean animal and labelled it, so the poster became a colourful collection of marine life.
Finally, we agreed on our own rules for protecting the ocean and added them to a digital poster.
This way, the pupils not only learned about underwater animals but also shared their ideas for keeping the underwater clean and safe.

Festive Season Activities
My two Class 5 groups shared their festive spirit in different ways.
First, they talked about what they usually do in December and completed our December activities survey.
Finally, they joined a collaborative writing activity, creating a comic about a travelling gingerbread man. Each partner prepared two panels, used the present simple with frequency adverbs, and illustrated their story.
These activities were part of our eTwinning projects English Quest and A Year of Friendship & Discovery.
