On Monday the 18th another week began, and time is already flying! This week I visited Year 2 to read them the HUNGRY CATEPILLAR.
In the classes I showed the children my family. They learnt about my dad, my mum and my sister.
In the science classes Year 6 and Year 4 I played them a song about the five senses, this was a bit hard as it was too fast! Year 4 found it a bit easier as they were learning about the senses so had the vocabulary fresh in their minds. To see the song:

Things are starting to become normal and it is wonderful. In the English classes I now sit at the back and take 1 – 4 children and ask them to describe me pictures or read them stories and ask them questions afterwards.
On Thursday 21st we got a visit from a witch about Castynada / Halloween this coming week. I got a big fright! The children thought it was very funny.
On Friday 22nd I was lucky enough to accompany the senior children (Year 5 & 6) to Ripoll and we visited the monastery and scriptorium there. This was amazing and great fun, the teachers got a lot of English practice telling me the history of Catalunya and Ripoll.
Another busy and interesting week, and am looking forward to the next one.
