Hello

Today we learnt some new grammar structures : HAVE TO/DON´T HAVE TO. We use them to say what is obligatory to do or not at school.

Mandy is at new school:

I have to take a bus.
I have to get up early.
I have to have lunch in the canteen.
BUT:
I don´t have to wear a uniform.
I don´t have to clean my classroom.

Let´s practise! Here´s a link of an exercise online:

We did our Olympic Games and practised writing phrases. Correct your mistakes at home:

Player 1 - 
Player 2 - 8 points
Player 3 - 5 points

Do you know what "Homeschooling" is? Find the information in the internet.
Would you prefer to study subjects at home and not to go to school? Why/Why not?

When you study at home, what do you have to do and what not?
Example: When you study at home you don´t have to get up early.
You have to research by yourself.

Write more sentences about it.

We watched a short video about popular sports in Britain.
What sports are popular in Britain? What unusual sports do British play?

We finished with our topic and started a new one:

Where can you study? - At primary school, at secondary school, at the library, at the University etc.

We learnt different subjects you can study at school:
Maths, Science, Foreign Language, English, History, Physics, Chemistry, Art, Music, P.E. etc.

What´s your favourite subject at school? Why do you like it?

Next class 30th we have a Halloween class. But it´s an unusual class - Flipped Class. It means that you will teach younger children different activities in English. We dedicate this class to our favourite holiday - Halloween! Your task is to prepare an activity you´ll teach other children in English, related to Halloween topic.

Next lucky student is JIMENA. The task is the same - spend a week with a dragon and prepare a project.
(Prepare a project in advance, take photos, draw a picture, write a short story etc.)

Your homework is to prepare a project "My favourite sport or hobby". We´ll vote for the most interesting one.
