Halloween: Learning English Through Fun<\/b><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

To celebrate Halloween, the International Section welcomed all primary classes for special English immersion sessions led by the section\u2019s teachers. From the moment students entered the classroom, they were immersed in a festive atmosphere with Halloween music and interactive activities focused on vocabulary and cultural discovery.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

In CP, students enjoyed singing Halloween songs, joining in with gestures and choruses. They also practised speaking by describing their favourite monsters, building confidence in oral English.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In CE1, students participated in hands-on craft activities, creating Halloween skeletons and ghosts. As they assembled their creations, they practised body-part vocabulary such as head, arms, legs and ribs, making language learning both fun and memorable.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

All classes also took part in vocabulary games and Halloween trivia, earning treats while demonstrating strong listening skills and clear pronunciation.<\/span><\/p>

Thanksgiving and Christmas: Language, Values and Creativity<\/b><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Towards the end of the term, the International Section celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas through a rich programme combining language learning with cultural traditions.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

In preparation for Thanksgiving, students learned about the history and meaning of the celebration, focusing on gratitude, sharing and helping others. They created Thanksgiving-themed artworks while using English vocabulary related to colours, emotions and thankfulness.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

As Christmas approached, each level completed a project suited to their age and language level.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

In CP, students prepared and performed a Christmas song in English.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

In CE2, creativity and writing took centre stage as students designed Christmas cards and calendars with short messages in English.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

In CM1, students explored values such as kindness and cooperation through a collage and a shadow play based on The Little Red Hen.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

In CM2, students prepared and performed a Christmas dance, following instructions in English and working together as a team.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Across all levels, these festive projects reflected the International Section\u2019s educational approach: bringing English to life through culture, creativity and meaningful learning experiences. They offered a joyful and engaging way to conclude the term.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
