6th grade About crime,

With 6th graders we did many activties. We want to amplify our vocabulary and speaking is very important in the classes.
We played different games to learn how to put the words in the correct way in a sentence.
Inspired by Fornite the guys were very motivated to solve   the problem  .
Last week we started the topic crime.
We are learning the past simple in a playing way.  In a game where a student is blindfolded  and the others pass around some keys we use sentences  like;
Who took the keys ? Who stole the keys ? It wasn't me. Did you  steal  the keys ? etc.

P5 Emotions/Robots

Hello, Hello, Hello ..
How are you?

We have been talking about many different emotions such as ..
I'm Good, Great, Wonderful
I'm Tired, Hungry, I'm not so good.

In addition, we have created our own robots.
They used their vocabulary for all the body parts..head, feet, shoulders, necks, legs, and arms
It was fun to play with this idea because robots do not have emotions. ;)

Practice the video together, the students loved doing the gestures!

We made a cartoon about a superheroe as well. The idea  the following story to draw a victem who is shouting for help,  the superheroe appears ; ¨I will rescue you¨ ,then the bad person appears ; ¨No you won't ¨ and a final fight. Some boys were not in the mood for drawing so they used the sentences in a ball game.

Hi all again,

"Dress up the snowman" is a crafts we made after coming back from Christmas holidays. Children had to discover clothing vocabulary and paint it accordingly, then cut and paste it on a cardboard and wirte the title and their names.

The aim was to remind words and expressions that they are usually in contact with at school.

Enjoy!

2nd A: Fridays full of fun!

Hi all again,

"Fridays full of fun" is what we pretend this day to be for all children. After a week doing more standard English activities, Fridays is the day to do special activities, sometimes outside the school, sometimes inside the school, like playing sports or visiting a special place...

Here a couple of photos, the former it was taken during a visit to the central market in Olot, the latter during a Twister session at the classroom.

Enjoy it!

3rd A:To make up a house

Hi again,

Here some photos of the house we made up as part of a project, whose aim was to get in contact with a wiude range of vocabulary related to this topic.

It was a long project we finished a few weeks ago, in which we paid attention to each room of a house, and the main objects it usually has. Besides that, we add some basic other words and expressions about where the houses are, like: neighbourhood, downtown or countryside, street, squares, avenues, the right spelling of an English address, and more and more.

I wish you enjoy watching the photos and could have an idea of what the project consisted of
