May
Today was game
& review day. In order to go over everything we learned lately, we played
a few fun games. First we finished a round of Bingo that we left hanging last
week and the winners got some cool balloons. Then we played a game of true or
false; I drew a chalk line on the floor and one side was true and the other
false, and they had to jump from one side to the other depending on the
sentence I said. The winners and everyone else got balloons too! Then we
watched a bit more of the movie :)
Monday 9th May
Today we
reviewed the five senses doing an exercise from the Activity book. First they
had to write the correct senses, matching the body parts involved, and then
they had to draw a picture of something you can do with each one; they all
explained their drawing maintaining the structure "I can... with
my...". Then, working in pairs, they asked each other "What can you
smell/etc.?" and had to answer.
Then we played
a little bingo with the senses, but the game will be continued next monday!
Wednesday 11th May
Today we
learned some of Trevor's values, in this case, to look after pets. First I
introduced them to my pet: Kiko the ferret. They loved him! And his birthday is
comming up! We learned some new actions involved in caring for our pets (brush,
feed, walk, wash) and used them in sentences with -ing. Then they mimed them in
turns and the rest had to guess the action with the correct use of the
structure "She/he is ...-ing his/her pet". Then we watched a
bit more of the movie :)
Wednesday 4th May
Today we saw
some of Marie's Science, the five senses! First we introduced all 5 senses and
the parts with which we use them, for example, "I taste with my
mouth"; then, using a diagram from the Pupil's book, we used the body
parts and senses in a sentence, such us "I see a rainbow with my
eyes". We then played "True or
false", I would say an untrue sentence and they'd have to correct it
("I hear the rainbow with my hands", "False. Because...").
And the last part of the exercise was for them to say something nonsensical and
someone else would correct it. They all did a great job! To wrap up, a few more
minutes of the movie :)
Monday 18th April
Today we start
reviewing the pets and learn 3 new opposites: long-short, big-small,
clean-dirty. We do a Listen and point
exercise with Maskman, Marie and Monty, and use the same image to answer
questions like “Who has the long pencil?”
or “Are the chairs small?”, to make
sure it’s all understood. After that, they each have to find an object in the
classroom (big, dirty, etc.) and they have to put them around the class in
places like “In the paper bin”, “Next to the teacher’s desk” or “Under the blackboard”, making sure we
remember where they are! Then they have to follow instructions such as “Run to the small object” or “Jump to the clean object”.
Wednesday 20th
April
Today we start
going over all the opposites we know and with an exercise from the Activity
book. First they have to choose the right adjective to define 6 pictures of
pets, they do individual work and then we share and explain where there have
been mistakes.
The second
part of the exercise is more complicated; there is a maze of pictures of
animals and Monty is going to do 2 routes, one blue and one red. Listening to
the CD the have to color the correct pictures that Monty is following. After
they are done, we comment. The rest of the class is spent analyzing both routes
and making sure they ALL understand all the opposites.
Monday 11th April
Today we
continued learning about pets! It’s time to sing! All the pets of the Star
family and their friends are going to a Pet show day, soy the chant about it
and us, with them! First we focuse on the lyrics, wich are about adjectives
they all give to their pets, like beautiful or old; they realise the difference
between “it’s” and “they’re”, and start learning plurals. When they are ready,
the singing starts! After a few goes, they chant without the music! To wrap up,
we started a new movie! Yay! It’s “Honey, I’ve shrunk the kids”, we’re gonna
have some fun!
Wednesday 13th
April
More pets!
Today we are doing an exercise from the Activity book. First they need to color
4 pets anyway they want; then, working in pairs, the had to colour a second set
of pets like their partner, using questions such as “What color is your fish?”.
They all did a great job!
After that,
they did a matching exercise to learn how some plurals are not what they
expected, like mice and fish. Then they all drew an animal they didn’t know in
english, so we could all learn them! To finish, we continued the new movie for
a few minutes :)
Wednesday 30th March
We're back from Easter! We start the class explaining what they
all did on Easter. The exam will be on monday because we want Luis to be
present, so we do a final review; we use the Story pictograms from units 1 to 4
to go over everything we learned so far! They read them in turns and translate,
to make sure everything is understood. They have all weekend to study and we'll
see each other on monday! ;)
Monday 7Th March
Today we did a
little test to check if all the family relations were clear, and then, to make
sure it sticks, we played game in which they each were a member of the family
and had to find their sister, grandmother, husband, etc. Then, we learned 3
pairs od opposite adjectives, old and young, beautiful and ugly, happy and sad.
To learn them well, in turns, they had to mimic each adjective and, whoever
guessed right, would mimic another one.
Wednesday 9TH March
Monday 29th February
Today we
started a new unit... Family! We learned some new words about relatives and, with
Stella's help, we practiced them doing some listening; after that, using the
flashcards, we kept practicing all the new vocabulary.
Wednesday 2nd
March
Today we
reviewed all the family vocabulary, so the kids that didn't come on monday
could catch up. They wrote everything on their notebooks with the translation,
so they can study, and then we kept practicing with the flashcards, for these
are difficult new words and concepts.
Monday 15th February
This week we did Saint Valantine's! De learned some vocabulary related with the day of love! They wrote and drew the new words on their notebooks to learn the spelling and then they split into two teams, and we played a board game from the book, in which they had to answer correctly questions about what they learned to move on.
Wednesday 17th February
More Valantine's day! We went over the new vocabulary by playing Pictionary; someone drew a Valantine's day picture and whoever guessed correctly, would draw the next one, and so on. To wrap up, we learned a fun chant about Cupid :)
Wednesday 10th February
Today we had a little exam! They all sat apart, to resist the temptation of cheating, and did an exercise from the Activity book; listening to the CD, they had to correctly identify if Ben the monkey was in, on, under or next to different objects. They did a wonderful job so they all got a sticker! After the test, we did a game of 7 differences from the Activity book, and played "Pretty please" to make sure the concepts stick.
Monday 1st February
Today, we
started Unit 3! First we learned some new vocabulary with the help of the
flashcards, we learned all the Star family's favorit toys. After familiarising
themselves with the new words, we practiced asking and answering questions
about a drawing in the book, and then we listened to the CD and repeated what
they said. Lastly, we all said what our favorite toy was.
Wednesday3rd February
Today, more
new concepts: in, on, under and next to. We practiced them using the new
flashcards from Monday; we did a "Listen and do the action" exercise
a few times and then a "Listen and repeat" exercise, both to fix the
new vocabulary. Next Monday, we will have a little test about what we learned
this week, to make sure it's clear :)
Monday 25th January
Today, in order
to review the last contents, we divided into two teams and played tic-tac-toe;
the trick was that, to place the X or the O, first they had to answer a
question correctly, otherwise the other team could take that space! We had lots
of fun, reviewed everything and...it was a tie!
Wednesday 27th
January
Monday 18th January 2016
Today we played some games to keep practicing the use of
he/she; using the flashcards, they had to guess the member of the Star family seeing
only their feet and legs! Then we did a similar exercise from the book and they
practiced anwering the question "Is this....? Yes/No, he/she is...."
Wednesday 20th January 2016
Today we learned the questions "What color is...?"
and "Which number is...?", to practice, we did an exercise from the
Activity book. They had a puzzle with numbers to colour, and they had to listen
to the CD to know what colour was each number; they colored the puzzle and we
practiced a bit with the questions.
Monday 11th January
We are back from the Christmas break and the kids have some
presents! One bubble maker for each, for being such good students :) First we
make some bubbles, to break the ice, and then we take the opportunity to learn
related vocabulary, like bubbles, water, soap, to make, to blow and to mix; we
play a questions game to make sure they really learn it.
Wednesday 13th January
Today, after going over what we learned on wednesday, is time
to meet two new friends of the Star children! They are going to help us learn
the difference between he and she. First we listen to them saying their names
and ages, and they repeat out loud, so they memorize them; then we do an
"Is he/she...? No/yes, she/he is..." exercise to practice. We also do
2 fun exercises from the Activity book, so by the end of the class they
Wednesday 9th December
Christmas is
comming! Today we started learning some Christmas vocabulary. First, we
brain-stormed, to see how many words they knew related with the holiday; then
they learned some new ones and wrote them in their notebooks. We did some games
to make sure they remember everything and, finally, we watched a few more
minutes of Home Alone. It happens to be Christmas time in the movie too, so we
could go over all the vocabulary we learned while watching.
Monday 30th November
Today we
continued with the school things; first, we learned a new chant and sang it
together, in turns and mixing it up. Then we did a 'listen and correct'
exercise using colours, numbers and school vocabulary, and we practiced in
turns for the rest of the class. To finish, we watched another five minutes of
'Home Alone'.
Wednesday 2nd
December
Today we went
over everything we learned so far. First, we reviewed all the flashcards
(pictures and words) and then we played a super Memory-like game; I placed all
the flashcards facing down in the floor and they had to find the matching
picture and word, meanwhile going over the flashcards they uncovered, once
again.
Monday 23rd November
Today we
finished the first unit from the book! We did a quick review of everything we
learned so far, colors, numbers, actions, etc. At the en of each unit, Trevor
the troll teaches us about values, in this case, making friends; we listened to
a story about a kid who was sad because he had no one to play with, but a girl
went to talk to him and they ended up making even another friend so they were 3
to play! We acted it out, first only reading and then in a little play. We
learned how to ask someone about their mood and how to answer if asked. To wrap
up, 5 more minutes of Home Alone :)
Wednesday 25th November
First day on
Unit 2! We learned some school vocabulary and it's spelling. There was a
drawing of a classroom in the book that we usted to do some exercises;
listening to the CD, we had to point at the objects that were mentioned, and
say what colour they were. Then, with a photocopy from the activity book, they
had to colour classroom objects in the colour the CD said. After colouring,
they each drew a table with two objects on it, and labeled them. To finish the
lesson, we watched another few minutes of Home Alone.
Also, today we
started a contest: everytime someone speaks in spanish during the class (some
"spanglish" is allowed, if necessary), he or she will get a point.
The last day of school before Christmas, the three pupils with the fewest
points will get a special price! Good luck guys!
Monday 16th November
Today, we
listened to a short story about Marie, Maskman and Monty and then we did some
role playing with it. First the boys were Maskman and the girls Marie, and then
we mixed things up. After that, we listened to a few phrases from the story and
had to identify who said them and when. Then we played a game of colours; using
the colour flashcards they had to match the image with the word, like in
Memory. To finish up, we watched 5 more minutes of Home Alone :)
Wednesday 18th November
Wednesday 11th November
Black to the
Star family! First we sang the rainbow song again, and then, thanks to the Star
family, we learned how to ask someone their age, how to ask a third person (boy
or girl) and how to answer when asked, speaking and writing! To finish, as
always, we watched a bit of Home Alone... It's getting interesting!
Wednesday 4th November
Today, firstly, we all shared how we spent our Halloween and what our costume was. Then we learned a cool song about colors and rainbows and sang it karaoke style! After singing, we coloured with a fun exercise from the book. We all had a nice drawing with hidden numbers and listening to the CD, we had to find the numbers and fill them in the colour indicated. We also learned what spots and stripes are, and their spelling, and filled two of the numbers using them and took the beautiful drawing home. To wrap up, we watched another bit of Home Alone :)
Monday 26th October
This week we did
Halloween! Also, today was English day! Using flashcards, we learned some
Halloween related vocabulary: pumpkin, witch, ghost, etc., trying to pay
attention to the spelling. Then we did a little test, to fill in the names on
the flashcards… It was a bit difficult so we helped each other by spelling the
words.
Wednesday 28th
October
More
Halloween! Today we did a sort of gymkhana using the Halloween flashcards. To
complete each stage they had to do one of the actions we learned so far! Everyone
won, and the price was a really cool Halloween sticker with led lights :)
Then we
painted our faces and watched another fragment of Home Alone.
Monday 19th October
Today we went
over last week actions and remembered really well! We added some more so
we could play fun games to learn them all. They paired up and spelled them to
each other so they would learn how to write them. Because we didn’t have the
CD, we had to improvise a bit… and we sang last day’s song about the numbers!
Today was colour day! We remembered some colors and learned a
few more. We went over everything we learned so far. Picking actions out of a
box, they had to read them, do them and say what color it was written on. Then
we spelled the colors reading them from the blackboard and, to wrap up, we
started the first minutes of a really cool movie...Home alone!
Wednesday 14th October
Today we
got the new book! After taking a look, we went over the names of the Star
family playing some fun games. We learned some actions and role played doing
them. We also learned a cool song to review the numbers! We sang it in groups
and divided in teams! To finish up, we saw the spelling of everything we
learned and took the book home to name and wrap them :)
Thank you very much!! Enjoy your holidays!!
Wednesday 20th
On Wednesday it was time to start a new unit, this time related to the parts of the house: bedroom, bathroom, hall, living room, dining room and kitchen. We tried to learn the grammar with different listening activities and the flashcards. We also played an acting out game with the structure ‘what’s she/he doing?’ Finally, we listened to the story and copied the vocabulary in our notebooks.
Monday 18th May
On Monday we continued practising with the book the Present Continuous, with different speaking activities. We also sang the song of the unit and listened and repeated the story. At the end of the class, it was time to play a role game with the vocabulary we had learnt. Good fun!
Wednesday 12th May
We started Wednesday playing a Present continuous game: what’s the teacher doing? We answered things like “he is jumping, he is running, he is dancing…”. Then we were the ones who did the actions, we loved it! After that we listened to the song “I’m walking in my favourite shoes” and sang it. Then, we listened to the story of this unit and answered some questions about it. Finally, we watched a Mr.Bean video which dealt with the Present continuous.
Monday 11th May
On Monday we began the class going one by one to the blackboard to write the words which the teacher said. After that we took the notebooks to make a dictation and then the book to start a new topic: Present continuous. We listened to two activities and repeated them. After that we learnt the “I am, you are... jumping, swimming, singing...” Finally, we sang the chant and acted out different means of transport.
Wednesday 5th May
Wednesday was a special day because we had had games before the English class, so we felt really excited and not in the mood to open a book. For that reason, we played another “Wheel Game” in the whiteboard in three groups. After that game we played a spelling one also in groups. The bad news is that we have homework again!
Monday 4th May
On Monday we finally opened the book to continue with our “Fun Time” unit. We worked really well because we had time to listen to the story and act it out; sing the song of the unit (and dance it) and do some speaking activities using the can/can’t structure. For that reason, at the end of the class we watched the video “can an elephant jump?” and sang it.
Wednesday 29th April
On Wednesday we continued with the Writing activities, this time using the whiteboard. There were 3 groups and we used a special keyboard in the board that we had to touch to make the words which the teacher said. Everything with computers looks funnier to us, so we had a great time in the class. At the end there was a draw between two of the groups, but we all learnt a lot.
Monday 27th April
On Monday the teacher decided that we had to play a Writing game, because our oral and listening skills are improving great, but the Writing part is still improvable. There were word flashcards all around the blackboard and we used the notebooks. The teacher dictated 5 words and we had to write them properly. Then, he corrected the words and gave us points in relation to the spelling. We repeated it many times, increasing the difficulty and even making sentences. At the end of the class, Gonzalo was the winner. It turns out that he's great at writing. We just have to pay attention!
Wednesday 15th April
On Wednesday we came back to normal classes and we started again with the book. We also began a new unit called “Fun Time” with new vocabulary too. We learnt some activities we can do in our free time, like playing a sport or a instrument, swimming and so on. We played with the flashcards, we also played a Simon Says game with these words and we listened to the activities in the book. We also had time to start with the “can/can’t” use. Finally, we copied the new vocabulary on our notebooks.
Monday 13th April
Monday was a special day because we celebrated the Book Day at the school. We were very excited about it, so we used that mood to learn English in a different way. The teacher proposed us to play a game in the whiteboard. We divided the class in 4 groups and we played “Spin The Wheel”, a game where we (obviously) spin a wheel and it says a topic (clothes, action verbs, animals, adjectives…) and we have to choose the correct option. We had a fantastic time doing this. At the end of the class we also had time to sing a song and finally watch a Mr. Bean funny short clip.
Wednesday 8th April
On Wednesday we came back to our English classes. However, we started them in a fantastic way! We played a game divided in two groups. We had a dice to roll and depending on the number, we had to do an activity (one versus one): writing a word in the blackboard, Pictionary, the bomb or hangman. It was funny and very entertaining.
Wednesday 18th March
On Wednesday we also worked hard. We started the class reviewing the vocabulary about clothes. We played a few minutes with the flashcards and then we used to book to listen to the story. After listening, we repeated and then read on our own. It was good to hear us reading in English! Then, we copied the words on our notebook and meanwhile, we were doing a speaking activity with “have got” in affirmative, negative and questions. Finally, we watched a video with a song called “put on your shoes” and we sang it.
Monday 16th March
On Monday we started a new unit, the number 8. It is related to the clothes. We learnt new words and we added adjectives to them, so now we know how to say “red trousers” or “black shoes” in the correct order. We played a flashcards game and we did a speaking activity: we had to say one thing we have got and one thing we haven’t got. After that, we used the book to do the listening activities. There were many different activities: one to point, another one to repeat, a matching activity and even a song to sing!
Monday 9th March
On Monday we started with a new unit: Wild animals. Before starting, the teacher made a quick grammar review: I am, He/She is, They are, Have you got…? We said things about ourselves and our classmates. After that, we learnt the new vocabulary and we worked on the “listen and repeat” activities. Then we sang the chant and wrote the words on the blackboard.
Wednesday 11th March
On
Wednesday we learnt how to say “I have got” and “I haven’t got”. The listening
activities are becoming very difficult now, because the pronunciation is
complicated. We listened and repeated an exercise with the grammar and the
vocabulary, and then we sang the song. After that, we read and listened to the
story of this unit. There are also new words like “tail”. Finally, we repeated
and acted out the story. We even had time to sing a song: “let’s go to the
zoo”.
Monday 2nd March
After our
last performance last week, we started this one with the same energy to
continue learning. On Monday we used the book to finish this unit. We learnt
new grammar: have you got…? I’ve got…She/He’s got… We had some activities on
the book: in one of them we described a picture, in other activity we had to
listen and say True or False. Then, we moved to the listening activities: we
listened to a short story and repeated it, then we sang a song and then we
listened, read and repeated the comic. We finished the class with this, and
hopefully on Wednesday after a quick review we can play writing games!
Wednesday 4th March
On
Wednesday we started with the review, but we had more problems than expected
with the listening activities. We are not used to these! We had to be very fast
and we aren’t patient enough, so we lost track very quickly and we gave up. The
teacher had to explain several times that we must be patience because he would
repeat the audios many times. After some activities, we could finally do it
better. Apart from the listening activities we also had some grammar worksheets
to do, so we spent the whole class working and we didn’t have time to play any
game or watch any video. Hopefully next week we’ll be luckier!
Wednesday 25th February
On
Wednesday the class was great because we spent it playing a game! Before
starting, we did a “crazy blackboard”, it means writing all the vocabulary
since the Unit 1 there with different positions, colours and sizes. After that,
we split the class in 4 groups of three and by teams, we had to take a
flashcard and write the word on the blackboard. It was very funny! The last 5
minutes, we could watch a short film because we had done it so well before.
We started
a new unit on Monday, this time related to our body parts. It is based
basically on our face, so it’s pretty easy for us to identify. We played a
couple of flashcard games and then we took our books to do three listening and
repeating activities. Finally, we took our notebooks to copy the vocabulary on
them.
Wednesday 18th Feb
We started on Wednesday with the same as we finished on Monday: writing. Most of us didn’t have time enough to copy all the words in the notebook, so the teacher gave us time to finish. The three students who had finished watched a video. When we all finished, we practised some speaking, reviewing the “He/She is”, “You are” and “They are”. The rest of the time we spent it on playing a game. We loved it last week and it’s really useful for our writing skills, so we repeated. We divided the class in 4 groups of 3 students and, with the flashcards, we had to write the word properly on the blackboard. At the end of the class, there was a draw between the group of LucÃa, Raquel and Raúl, and the group of Fátima, Chema and Irene.
Monday 16th Feb
On Monday we finished this new unit, related to animals and new adjectives. First we did a speaking activity using the structure “They are” and the vocabulary (like “They are horses. They are big and beautiful). After that, we listened to the comic story and we repeated the dialogues. Then we listened to another story from the book and learnt four verbs: walk, feed, brush and wash. We made sentences with these verbs and when we finished, it was time to use the notebook: we had to copy the vocabulary there
Wednesday 11th Feb
On Wednesday, we moved on to the next vocabulary
of the unit, as the animals are quite easy for us. This time, we learnt new
adjectives such as dirty, clean, big, small, long and short. We did three
listening activities, one in which we had to point, in the second we had to
repeat and finally, an activity in which we had to correct the mistakes. Then,
the teacher asked us some questions and we had to answer using the adjectives.
Finally, the last 20 minutes we played a game in the blackboard with the flashcards.
We divided the class in three groups, and we used all the flashcards with the
vocabulary we have seen. There were at least 50 words! We had to pick one and
write the word in the blackboard and if we did it well, we received a point.
Fátima was great at this! It was good fun
Monday 9th
Feb.
On Monday
we started a new unit. Before that, we finished the review part from the last
one. There was a game with different checks, and we had to understand the
orders (example: 1C) and say the adjective (example: he is old). When we
finished with this activity, we started the new unit, talking about animals.
This vocabulary is easy because we know them by heart, so we played a brief
game with the flashcards and we continued with the book, where we completed a
listening activity and a speaking activity (a song). Finally, we repeated a
dialogue from the CD and when we finished it, the bell rang and the class was
over!
Wednesday 4th Febraury
On
Wednesday we had fun because we played some games in the blackboard. First, we
started with the review worksheets that the teacher had brought. There
were listening activities, matching,
numbering and a short writing activity. It is good to work all areas and review
the previous topics. After that, as we love writing on the blackboard, we
played some games in three groups: the bananas, the pigs and the bottoms. We
played a game called hangman which was good to remember the abecedary, and
later, we played a game in which the teacher drew an object and we had to write
the name of this object. We reviewed ortography and spelling lwith this game.
It was really fun! At the end, the bananas won, but we all did a really good
job.
Monday 2nd February
On Monday
we started working lightly, doing a listening activity about the family. There
were many errors and we had to correct them, saying the proper adjectives.
After that, we listened to the comic story, and then we repeated what they
said. There was also an activity about this listening. Finally, we did the
review pages, where we had to complete different activities about this and the
previous units.
Wednesday 28th Jan
We love Wednesdays because we can watch a video if we behave properly. And this Wednesday we did it! Even though the class was very hard that day. First, we started reviewing the adjectives and making some questions to each other about the adjectives. Then, the teacher had prepared some worksheets for us with four different activities related to adjectives, and we had to listen, match, colour, write…lots of things! We spent a lot of time doing these activities, it was hard but we did it great so, at the end of the class, we could watch a Mr.Bean short clip. We love it!
Monday 26th Jan
On Monday, we learnt a funny thing: adjectives! Well, it doesn’t sound that funny, but the activities we did were interesting at least. First, we gave the teacher our homework and reviewed very quickly the family members. Then, we used the audio CD to hear some descriptions like : Where’s my sister? She’s next to the ball. She’s beautiful! We learnt the adjectives very quickly and we also had an activity about acting out. The teacher said an adjective and we had to act with our faces. Then, we asked questions about each other, like: is LucÃa beautiful? Yes, she is! We laughed a lot with this. Finally, we listened to a song, and we tried to sing it, but it wasn’t that good. We’ll try next day!
Wednesday 21st Jan
On Wednesday the teacher had prepared some worksheets for us to continue working on the family. These worksheets were useful to review the previous vocabulary too: colours, toys, etc. Most of the activities included audios, so we had to pay attention to this. We are not used to do listening activities, so it is also quite difficult for us! We are learning to do these activities. Finally, as we worked very good, the teacher played a Mr. Bean short video for us. We discovered him before Christmas and we love him! So we watched a commented a video, and then the teacher explained us the homework for next week.
Monday 19th Jan
On Monday, we started the class giving our homework to the teacher. We also reviewed some vocabulary and then, we played the flashcards game to review the vocabulary of this unit, the family. We are experts in family vocabulary, but we are not very good at writing them, so we used our notebooks to write the words in English and we also wrote some sentences such as “He is Rafa. He is my father”, writing our family names. It is hard for us to write and read in English, so we spend lot of time trying to improve this!
Wednesday 14th January
On Wednesday we continued with the family vocabulary. We reviewed father, mother, brother, sister, grandfather and grandmother. We even said the names of our family members! Then, we played a game with the flashcards and after that, the teacher played some audios with activities. We had to identify the family member and match it with the characters on the book. As we did a great job, he awarded us with a Peppa Pig video while he drew some stars to the students who worked great. Finally, he explained us the homework for next week.
VIDEO OF THE WEEK
Monday 12th January
Happy New Year! We started with a lot of energy. The teacher was surprised, but we really wanted to return to the English classes! First of all, we tried to tell some of the things we did during our Christmas holidays: go to the park, eat with the family, open the presents and many others. After that, we reviewed the vocabulary from the 1st term with the flashcards. We remembered all of them! Finally, we tried to learn the new vocabulary of the Unit 4: family!
Wednesday 10th December
This week we only had class on Wednesday. It was good, because we could finish the Unit 3 and review all the contents from this term with some activities. We began the class with some counting activities from the book. It was funny to do Maths in English! We had to make sums with different objects. After that, there was a story about two children who were very polite. They said things like “please”, “thank you”, “thanks” and “you’re welcome”. We practised a few conversations using those words with the teacher. Then, he gave us some worksheets to practise vocabulary and listening. There were lots of different activities: one about matching, one about tick or cross, one about colour…it was entertaining!
Wednesday 3rd December
On Wednesday, we had a funny class, because the teacher gave us the opportunity to be teachers! We started with a flashcards game. The teacher dropped all the pictures and words flashcards on the floor, and he said things like “I need one volunteer to take the word ball” and one of us stood up and took it. We learnt the difference between words and pictures. Later, some of us became teachers. We had to pick volunteers to draw the word or picture we had taken on the blackboard. We were great teachers, and the teacher was a fantastic student too. We spoke a lot of English by repeating. After that, we listened to the story from this unit twice, and then we repeated the dialogues. With this we finished the unit, so the teacher sent us homework for next week.

Monday 1st December
As last Wednesday we worked incredibly well, the teacher started the class showing us some videos from the blog, because we sometimes can’t watch them at home. We saw the three videos there were uploaded and we also watched a short video about Mr. Bean in a karate class. It was hilarious! We could review with that video the under, on, in and next to structures, because he was under a man, on a carpet, on a bench and next to another man. After that we played with the flashcards to review the toys and we copied the words on our notebooks. Finally, we made a couple of activities with the book. Basically we had to repeat words and sentences to work on the pronunciation, but we also sang a song from the book and we did a counting toys activity.
Wednesday 26th November
On Wednesday, we started the class reviewing the objects with the flashcards. We love playing with these games! Then, each one of us said our favourite toy. After that, we learnt some new expressions: next to, under and on, apart from the structure “where is…?”. So we used the toys we had in the class, like balls and dolls to understand this. The teacher placed the toys anywhere (for instance, the ball under a chair) and we had to say where it was. We worked excellently! Because we knew the classroom objects vocabulary from the previous unit, so we could say many different things. Besides, each one of us was receiving stars for our good job, so at the end of the class most of us received a stamp for our good work. Well done!

We started a new unit on Monday, because we learnt the classroom objects very well. The teacher introduced us the new vocabulary with the flashcards. This time, it’s about toys, like ball, doll, train or car. We played with the flashcards, trying to identify them and looking for toys in the classroom. Then, we used the book to do a couple of listening activity and sing a chant that we always love. To finish the class, we did an activity in the book in which we had to count and identify the toy.

After a busy Monday, on Wednesday we were ready to finish the Unit 2 (classroom objects). We listened to the story of this Unit, trying to read and identify some words too. Reading in English is very complicated for us, but we are trying hard! After that, the teacher had prepared some worksheets for us to do. With those worksheets, we reviewed the vocabulary from Units 1 and 2. We had to trace the words in a paper and then colour the pictures. When we finished, we had to cut out the paper and stick it onto our notebooks. Now we have some great notebooks!
Monday 17th November
On Monday we continued reviewing the classroom objects, using the flashcards and the word cards. We played a brief game and then, we used the Pupil's Book to do a listen and point activity. In this activity, we reviewed some structures: what's your name? / how are you? / how old are you? We also learnt a new structure: who's that? - he/she is...We played an acting out game to practise these structures, and then we listened to a new song from the book. We sang the song many times, changing the characters' names for our own names. It was very funny!
Wednesday 12th November
We had a short week this time. We just had class on Wednesday, so we worked very hard and the teacher told us that he was really happy with us! First of all, he showed us the flashcards to review the vocabulary of this unit (classroom objects) and then we played a game with this flashcards. We love playing with them! We also learnt the words for the first time. It is very difficult for us to spell the words, so we used the words flashcards. After that, the teacher wrote the words on the blackboard and we copied them in our notebooks. We worked so good that we finished the class giving a round of applauses to ourselves!

Monday 3rd November
Monday was a tough day because we worked a lot. But it was funny though! First, we reviewed the numbers and colours with the flashcards. Then, we practised the greetings and formal questions, like “what’s your name?” and “how old are you?” and we played an acting game. We also read the comic in the book, and we discovered that the superhero “Maskman” is not brave. He was scared of a monster! Finally, we said the story pretending to be the characters. We are very good actors and actress!
Wednesday 5th November
On Wednesday, we started a new unit! We are now very good at counting numbers and recognising colours. In this unit, we started to learn some classroom objects: chair, table, eraser/rubber, pen, pencil and book. We used the flashcards a lot this day. First, because the teacher told us the words and we repeated them. Then, because we played many games with them: one in which we had to find out the object and other in which we had to repeat the word if it was true or clap if it was wrong. Finally, we sang a chant with the names. After that, we did a counting objects activity: we had to count the objects and say the colour too. And at the end of the class, we reviewed the numbers and colours writing them on the blackboard. It was a hard day, but we did it quite good!
