Welcome to the blog

Dear Children, their Parents and Colleagues! Welcome to our new teaching blog!

     This blog is a compendium of activities and articles for primary language teachers, children aged 6-13 and their parents.

     The main aims are:

  • to provide a wide-ranging resource of practical ideas which are easy to use and which can be adapted flexibly and creatively in different contexts and situations;
  • to provide support for primary language teachers in their own professional development through encouraging them to use the activities as a springboard for personal investigation and inquiry into what "works" for them in their own classes;
  • to help parents who want to improve their children's language skills;
  • to make process of learning English easier and more interesting for the Young Learners.

The blog is suitable for:

  •  primary language teachers working in the state or private sectors;
  • candidates following teacher education courses;
  • parents who teach their children for the first time.                                                                
Hope you'll enjoy working on this blog!
Please don't hesitate to contact me regarding any issues concerning the course of the blog.
Your teacher ,
Galina Ganicheva  

     I  apologize  for  using  Russian  transliteration  instead  of transcription when I give tasks for my Young Learners. I have to do  that  to  help  parents  who  don't know the rules of English pronunciation.

    Я приношу свои  извинения за использование русской транслитерации  при  публиковании  заданий для младших школьников. Приходится поступать так, чтобы помочь тем родителям, которые  не знакомы с правилами английского произношения и транскрипций.

Touch cards

Сенсорные карточки на английском языке

Словарь очень плохо помогает в переводе тактильных прилагательных на английский язык. Все дело в том, что шкалы восприятия, оттенки, на которые мы, русские, и люди, говорящие на английском языке, делим ощущения, значительно отличаются.

A Child's Wish

I want to live and not to die,
I want to laugh and not to cry,
I want to feel the summer sun.
I want to sing when life is fun.


I want to fly into the blue,
I want to swim as fish can do.

I want to shake all friendly hands
Of all the young of other lands.
I

 want to work for what is right.
I want to love and not to fight,
I want to laugh and not to cry,
I want to live and not to die.
