Hello! Kia ora! Hola!

I am Emily and I am from New Zealand. I am 21 years old and have recently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and Spanish.

I am very lucky because the Ministry of Education in Spain has given me a placement in Navàs at Sant Josep school to help the children learn English.

This blog is for all the children and their families, the Ministry of Education, for the people at home and anyone else who is interested!

Our aim over the next six months is to help improve the students with their oral and conversational English.

But I will start from the beginning...

18 October - 22 October

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: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5CHfLP71T4

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.
