5th A - Friendship

After having finished Pia Channel Midday News, we start a new project about friendship. It has three main parts.

First, a writing activity about situations related to friendship that needs to be done in pairs. Second, watching a movie, called Stand by me, that fits perfectly the topic. Third, a writing and a speaking activity to discuss about what friendship is and what it isn't, that we expect they would enjoy so much!

We'll keep you informed!

1st A & B - London Tour. A first visit to the city!

Hello again,

Here we are to present you "London Tour. A first visit to the city" the project in which we have been working on the last few sessions. Basically, the aim is to get the students in contact with the city for a first time as well as getting in contact with basic vocabulary related to it, such as street, bridge, traffic lights, and so on.

By watching a video, whose link is at the bottom, and by cutting and colouring we have travelled abroad without getting out of the school.

I might add that we have pasted all the pictures on a poster, that you can see below in the pictures we attach.

I wish you have enjoyed this post!

3rd graders Will the balloon explode ????

Hello everybody,

With 3rd grade we continued the topic ; Experiments.  This time week we combined different elements to observe what would happen if we would mix them .
We used the following ingredients: coca cola ,  menthos, vinagre and bicarbonate.
Before we started the experiment we asked the following questions;  Will it get cold?  Will it get hot.?.. Will it fill the balloon?  Will it explode ? .
We wrote the answers ; For example  Menthos +coca cola won't explode.  Vinagre + bicarbonate will explode.

We had a lot of fun and learned to make a prediction using  the grammer...It will or   It won't......

We visited the park and designed our own park with different materials.

Vocabulary: Swing , seesaw, slide, tree , drink water,  throw the dice , find the treasure. Climbe up, go down.

3rd Grade Being scientists.

7Hello everybody.

 Last week we started the  topic experiments. The first experiment we did is to let unfold a  paper flower in the water.  The second experiment was the floating candle  . The third experiment was making slime.

We asked ourselfes different questions.

For example ; What opens the paper flower ?  When we did the experiment outside a student answered ;  ¨The wind .¨But inside the flower openend as well .  Magic ???
What happens if we put a bigger flower? does it open faster or slower ?

The floating candle experiment  was very interesting as well.

1 put some coloured water in a plate
2 strike a match and lighten the candle
3 put the candle in the plate
3 Put carefully a jar over the candle.

The result: the water is rising and the candle is floating .   Why ????
The candle stops burning because of a lack of oxygen. And because it uses the oxygen it causes a vacuum effect that makes the water rise and the candle float.
We had loads of fun !!

1st grade - Groups A & B - School supplies

Hello people,

"School supplies" is the topic on which we worked before Carnival. The idea was to discover the classroom, where we spend most of the time every day, and its main objects. The idea was our children learn more new vocabulary and was able to use it at class at every moment easily.

The first activity was making a school bag which had all basic stuff like  a pencil case, some crayons, some colour pencils, a pair of scissors, a rubber and a sharpener. The second activity was a matching-up game to remember such new words of vocabulary.

Here below a few photos of one of the activities that have been done
