FESTIVALS - CHRISTMAS: Presents

We are back!!! Happy New Year my dear ones!!!  I am very happy to see you again!!!

We are starting a new term full of new exciting activities. In today´s class we will talk about our Christmas presents. How many did you get? What is your favourite one? Cookie is really excited with his gifts and his favourite one is Paddington Bear, the one you see on the left, a cheeky teddy who loves marmelade and always gets into trouble.

His story is really fascinating: he came from Peru, where he lived with his auntie and uncle in the jungle, and now he lives in London in a beautiful house with a kind family. But first...

1.- Let´s talk about our favourite Christmas presents. Can you tell Cookie what gift you like the most?

3.- Now let´s play with Paddington: GAME 1 - GAME 2.

GOOD JOB!!!
