Our resources

         This year Cocuk Kasabasi decided to use  different resources in comparison with previous years. In 2014-15 academic  year we are going to use  “Big jungle fun 1 &2 ” of Richmond publishing  with our 3 and 4 - years old kids and “Show and Tell 2 ” of  Oxford university press with 5-years old kids.

         As an extra resource for story telling we have chosen "Jamboree" publication.We  believe that story telling improves children's English more than any other activity!


         We do hope to create young thinkers with great futures so we are challenging ourselves together with kids! Because the aim of our kindergarten is to help to provide to our children with a rich and varied curriculum that will develop their ability to learn effectively as well as providing a stimulating and challenging introduction to English!

English and camping! Nice combination!:)

During  the summer camp 2014 Cocuk Kasabasi’ kids were  going on camping once a week. There they  had different entertaining games and activities. Definitely I will tell you about our fun English activities where we were able to practice different topic vocabularies and word-combinations. Under the text you can see some vocabulary which we have practised with kids. The camping is very productive way for English acquisition and at the same time to have rest with kids!
·         To collect leaves
·         To stay in  line
·         To follow one’s friend
·         To collect(to pick up) flowers
·         To play hide and seek
·         To find smth.
·         To stay in the shade
·         Etc.


Back to school

          Several days ago all kids came back from summer holidays happy and full of energy! We had a lot of different activities, surprises and games  for them! Of course that important and ground-breaking day for us we haven’t  forgotten about English language!
          We have played simple but marvellous games  where we could practise such word combinations as “Hello! My name is…” and “How are you? I am fine, thank you!”. So from the very first day children were introduced with English teacher and language.

          Definitely they liked it! Their happy faces you can see in the video!:)

How does the sport influence English in our kindergarten?

In this article we can answer this easy question and share some photos from our sport and pool activities with  you.
During the summer camp we were able to make pool activities .It helped  kids to improve their health and knowledge of English because the  English teacher was attending   every activity so kids were able to hear not only Turkish commands but  English too.
During  sport  and pool lessons we practiced the  following vocabulary:
·         Hands up!
·         Stand up!
·         Sit down!
·         To run
·         To stop
·         To jump
·         To breathe in
·         То breathe out
·         То stretch
·         Repeat after me(friend,teacher)
·         Make one line
·         Right,left
·         Move your … (different parts of the body)
·         To swim
·         To dive

So kids have learnt this vocabulary and word combinations  successfully and with fun!
Kids are happy –teachers are happy!:)
