EAL (English as an additional language)
Welcome to the EAL page!
At Claremont we celebrate the diversity of our pupils and this page is dedicated to our EAL pupils, who have English as an additional language and come to Claremont from around the world!
Our EAL specialist is Mrs Firzana Khalid, she works closely with our teachers to ensure our EAL children have an appropriate induction process and assists with their English speech and language progress.
Mrs Khalid has worked at the school for 19 years and is passionate about helping children meet their full potential.
At the moment Mrs Khalid is teaching English to our EAL pupils. They are learning:
-
to talk about themselves in english
-
how to greet people
-
naming the different areas of the school and knowing what happens there e.g.. assemblies in the hall, dining hall for dinner times
-
the names of their teachers
Fairy Tales
We have been looking at traditional fairy tales. We have been learning about:
- story language. "Once upon a time..."
- characters in a story.
- Story recounts.
- linking our own experiences to a story.
We made beautiful lanterns to celebrate Chinese New Year. We also tried to write some Chinese words, but we think we’ll stick to English though :)
Do you cross the road safely? As a part of the Safety Week we talked about being safe on the road. We watched a story about Dino the dog who had lots of good advice….
Let’s learn some shapes! This time we’ve been learning about 2-D and 3-D shapes. Now we can recognize and name lots of shapes, and even make some out of playdough
It’s Spoooky Time! We love Halloween!
Look at our beautiful Bear Headbands! We're nearly ready for the Big Performance :)

On Friday 2nd October, some children went on a trip to Goose Fair. We wanted to find out what was there.
We have been learning the name of the rooms in our home.
