English in primaria: pairing packs with LOMLOE & SEP themes

The disclaimers first, as always: LOMLOE is Spain's education law and the SEP is Mexico's education ministry; neither has anything to do with this site, and curricula are set by regions, states and schools — always follow YOUR programación or plan de clase. What is safely mappable is the theme layer: the topics primary English cycles through are strikingly constant across both systems.
First cycle: the self and the near world
- Greetings, feelings, my body → Emotions and Body packs, the hello routines from the classroom-posters set.
- Colours, numbers to 20, school objects → Colors and School packs, the 1–20 number board with its listen-and-find game.
- Family and pets → Family and Pets packs with their chants and speaking questions.
Second & third cycles: routines, town, past tenses
Daily routines with clock time (the telling-time page with its quiz and worksheets), food and healthy habits (Food/Fruits/Vegetables plus the Health pack), my town and jobs (Town, Transport, Jobs), and by the third cycle the past tenses — where the grammar pages and the 60 irregular verbs take over. The Cambridge-aligned level pages (Pre-A1 to A2) double as a competencias reference many programaciones already speak.
The Spanish-speaker specifics
Two labs here were built for your classroom in particular: the b/v minimal pairs (Spanish merges them; English does not) and ch/sh (Spanish lacks sh entirely). Ten minutes a week in each rewires the ear before the habits set. And the site's Spanish layer means the support gloss under every English word is one your children actually read.
⭐ Take this with you
Your programación names the competencias; the packs supply the joy. Map each cycle's themes to their packs, book the two Spanish-trap sound labs as a weekly ritual, and let the printables travel home in Spanish-glossed peace.
