Class 3. Thursday 23/04

Hello

Today we had a very interesting class! Finally, we put in action our project "Pick up your pets´ poo!!!"

We went to the park and gave the plastic bags to people with dogs. We also gave them small leaflets and candies for cooperation. It was a great experience!!!

Please, at home write a short summary with your impressions about the project and our today´s activity. What do you think about it? Do you think we´ve convinced people to make the town cleaner? 

Now, our next stage is - Share (Comparte)! We´ll have to make a short presentation about our project, to show photos and tell other people/students what we did.

Here´re our photos:

Also your homework is to finish the sentences with the map and do a written exercise in the copy!

Extra Task: listen to the audio and do two exercises in your notebook (2 points for each).

For those who is new (Lidia) or forgot about our Dragon presentations! Here´s a plan of what to prepare.

Choose a country where our Dragon travelled and prepare a presentation:

1. Country
2. Capital
3. Famous places and monuments
4. Typical food
5. Language
6. Other interesting traditions

Bring photos, pictures, videos with the places. Make it interesting!

Class 2. Thursday 16/04

Hello

Today we checked all our exercises and played some guessing games. We got the following points for our extra activities and Olympic Games:

Player 1 - 5 points
Player 2 - 2 points
Player 3 - 2 points
Player 4 - 2 point

We revised the places in the city/town describing them:
It´s a place where you can ... (buy bread, watch a film, play games, go shopping etc).

Also we learnt some prepositions of location to give directions in the city/town: go along, go straight ahead, turn right/left, take the first/second turning on your right/left, opposite, past etc.

We used the expressions to give directions:
Go along High Street. Then turn right. Go straight ahead past the cinema and then take the first turning on your right. There´s a museum opposite the park.

For our project: we´ve got the plastic bags and the posters printed. Your task at home is - to colour the posters, draw pictures on them. Also we have around one euro money left. Jimena is going to buy some candies that we´re going to give to people who take care of the parks and picks up after their pets.

So, next class (a part of the class) we´re going to the park to convince people to clean after their pets and care about the park. 















Your homework is draw a map of your town/neighbourhood, choose three places on the map and explain how to get there from your house (use the prepositions from the lesson).

Extra activity: watch a video with the map, draw a map following the instructions from the video. Write down the sentences (5 points).

Trimester III. Class 1. Thursday 9/04

Hello

Today we started our Trimester III, our last term this year, although some students were still on vacations.

So, we started a new topic "Tell me about your town" and learnt some new vocabulary to describe the city/town/village:
crowded, quiet, noisy, modern, tourist, historic, industrial, cheap, expensive, cosy etc.

We also revised some vocabulary from the last year - places in the city/town: playground, bank, post office, circus, police station, airport etc. 

We played Olympic Games and got first points:
Player 1 - 10 points
Player 2 - 4 points
Player 3 - 10 points
Player 4 - 4 points


There´s a big shopping centre in my town.
There are a lot of parks in my town.

Your homework: choose a city/town/village that you´ve visited and describe it using the expressons and adjectives, bring photos to show it.

Example: I like Kyiv, this is the capital of Ukraine. It´s a big modern city. It´s very beautiful, but also noisy and crowded. It´s tourist and historic, because there are a lot of monuments, churches and cathedrals there. It´s green, because there´s a river and there are many parks there.

Here´re some photos of Kyiv:





We also discussed our plans for our project: 

Finally thanks to Jimena that raised some money for us at the Flea Market, we´ve got around 6 euros. We decided to buy some plastic bags for dog owners and give them in the park. Lidia is responsible for buying some bags for the next week.


Also you made some leaflets (folletos) where we ask people to clean after themselves. Your task now is to type it on the computer and decorate. Later we´re going to print them out. 

Extra task: watch a small video about London and do the exercises in your notebooks (2 points each), make up 5 questions to the video (each correct question - 1 point):

Class 10. Thursday 26/03. End of trimester II

Hello

Today it was our last class in this trimester. To celebrate it we organised a Flea Market, a very funny and exciting activity. We decided to raise money for the charity organisation Design for Change or use it for our projects.

Children brought lots of different things - second-hand books, toys, hand-made jewelery, home-made food and drinks. Unfortunately, only Jimena wanted to participate in the market, the rest of the class refused to do it.

Also we have announced our Olympic Games winner. This trimester it´s Jimena. Congratulations!

I wish you to spend good Easter Holidays! Happy Easter! And see you next trimester!
