Sr Infants: Autumn

We went to find signs of Autumn in the Garden.

We are holding our leaves. We stuck them on our pictures.

This is a photograph of autumn leaves. They are red, yellow, orange and brown.

We are pointing at the pumpkins.


The pumpkins are green now. They will be orange when they are bigger.


The wind is blowing our hair.

We are pointing at the orange pumpkin.

We looked in the log pile for a hedgehog but we didn't find one.

Sally Speaks Spanish..


Laurence and Sarah have been doing an excellent job working on their English stress and intonation.





Laurence speaks French.
Sarah speaks French.
Laurence and Sarah speak French very well.

Sally speaks Spanish, but not very well
When she tries to speak Spanish

what language she's speaking
or trying to speak.
The first time I heard her,
I thought it was Greek.

Learning points:
/s/ speaks
/z/ tries

Present simple: Sally speaks 
Present continuous: she's speaking

Chunks: not very well/she tries to/you really can't tell/trying to/the first time/I thought it was
