This time we were in three different rooms!

Then we had a look at the story of the little mouse and the shark who were in the owl princess's castle moat.

Then we started a new story, but we didn't get too far with the storyline. But carefully planned the two monkey girls of the story.



Here's a game to revise what came up:





And here's another story:

The spiders, the carpet, Jankó Raven


We had our lesson in the gym! For the first some minutes Reni was with us too and her winged unicorn :) There were the girls's paper spiders (I'm not scared ....) And  Annisa was very very tired :)

In the gym there is a cool carpet like this:


In this there is a farm, we played it was the spider's farm with their horse. The little spiders went to school, crossed the road, went home, etc.

We talked about the cartoon "Frozen" for a short while, then I told a Hungarian story, I'm not sure Amy had known it, Annisa had never heard it, this is it:



I think next time we will exploit this story and Frozen too, perhaps play some dialogues, create something about them. I do hope no one will turn anything into snow and ice.

Our very first lesson with Amy was very funny :)
In my bag I had a toy frog. So played a story in which a princess kissed the frog in the hope of its turning into a charming prince. Erm... it never happened... But we clarified how a prince may turn into a frog :) (Of course usually a wicked witch puts a spell on princes.)

Then the whole story transformed into a frog family tale: Once upon a time there was a mum frog and a baby frog in a cozy frog house. They ate flies. One day the Indians/Native Americans turned up and captured the frog family.  The frogs tried this and that to escape. 




In another lesson we played with a game that develops working memory, later a role-play game, we also made a video cars, tractors, quads and dogs were jumping up and down the cups.








The gym lesson was also fun, especially the ball bath :)







In January we have a new friend, Annisa :) She's fun!



We talked a lot about tales and cartoons and characters. I was really impressed with Amy's English. (Kids who know I can understand Hungarian often can't help and talk to me in Hungarian. This was the first time I heard Amy communicate entirely in English, she knows well that Annisa wouldn't understand Hungarian.)

We agreed that Annisa would tell us an Indonesian tale and we'd tell her a Hugarian tale. Something like this one perhaps:




And Amy told us about her new favourite, "Frozen"









We also played a story about the very shy penguin who was also pretty afraid of Amy's bunny :)




Then Annisa and I were quite curious about that big red funnel-like thing. Amy showed us how it worked.

She ended up under it as a turtle:
