Space Mission: Learning English with Captain Nova!

Let’s Explore and Learn English!

This week, our 1st and 2nd graders continued exploring the universe as part of our school projec about the Universe. We learned about furniture and prepositions of place through stories, games and hands-on activities.

Esta semana, o alumnado de 1.º e 2.º de Primaria continuou explorando o Proxecto Documental Integrado (PDI) do noso centro, «O universo». Aprendemos vocabulario sobre mobles (furniture) e preposicións de lugar (prepositions of place) a través de contos e xogos.

Storytime: Captain Nova and the Funny Alien

We enjoyed the story “Captain Nova and the Funny Alien” and practised English by listening, looking at pictures, repeating words and answering simple questions.

We used expressions like:

Where is the alien?
It’s under the table.
It’s next to the chair.

Storytelling helped us practise listening and speaking in a fun and meaningful way.

Gozamos co conto «Captain Nova and the Funny Alien» e practicamos inglés escoitando, mirando imaxes, repetindo palabras e respondendo preguntas. O conto axudounos a practicar a comprensión e a expresión oral de xeito divertido.

Let’s Play and Learn!

We continued our space mission with three games:

🪐 Sorting Cards: We sorted picture cards by prepositions and practised simple sentences.
❌⭕ Tic-Tac-Toe: We played in pairs, practising vocabulary, speaking English and taking turns.
👽 Alien Hunt: We looked for aliens, followed instructions and described where they were.

We worked together as a class and in pairs, learning through play, pictures and hands-on materials.

Continuamos a nosa misión espacial con tres xogos, traballando en parellas e en grupo, aprendendo a través do xogo e das imaxes.

Clasificación de tarxetas: Agrupamos imaxes segundo as preposicións e practicamos frases simples en inglés.
Tic-Tac-Toe: Xogamos en parellas, repasando vocabulario e falando en inglés, cada un agardando a súa quenda.
Alien Hunt: Buscamos alieníxenas, seguimos instrucións e describimos onde estaban.

Learning English Is Fun!

These activities helped us practise listening, speaking and reading simple English words and sentences.

We also worked on attention, memory, teamwork, independence and taking turns.

Estas actividades permitíronnos practicar a comprensión oral (listening), a expresión oral (speaking) e a lectura de palabras e frases (reading). Tamén favorecemos a atención, a memoria, o traballo en equipo e o respecto das quendas.

Little by little, we are learning to use English while playing, exploring and having fun! 🚀🌍
