2A Let's discover our classroom!

Hello to everybody:

In this post I'd like to inform you all about what we have been working on since the beginning of this new course, giving you some details, too.

The project that we are carrying out is called Let's discover our classroom. It includes a wide range of activities all related to the place where we get in contact with English. Therefore, our classroom is the means to build vocabulary and to build first senteces, too. 

A session usually has three parts: a warm-up activity, at the beginning, which consists of a short speaking (either about the weekend or about the routine at school) or a game (like "Pica Paret", English version, for example); a main activity, which is related to such topic, and a final activity in a more relaxed way, how to match up pictures, or a worksheet.

We have learned a lot of new words, like whiteboard, notebook, folder, a sheet of paper, pencil, pencil case, colour pencil, markers, hightlighter, rubber (or eraser), scissors, ruler, paper clip, and more and more.

We have made our first sentences, like This is... or These are..., That is..., Those are..., and we have had the help of mimics to have it funnier. 

Another activity has been Questions & Answers abour our classroom. In short, we put three objects on a desk and we had to ask questions (and answer them) in teams, with teacher's help. Sentences like: Can you sit down on this/that cushion? A: Yes, I can (= Sure I can/ Of course...); 2. Can you bring this/that cushion?, 3. Q: Can you bring this/that cusion back?, 4.Q: Can you lie down on this cushion?; Trolley - 1. Q: Can you sit down on the trolley? A: Yes, I can, 2. Can you drive the trolley around the class?, 3. Can you bring the trolley?, Can you put yourself into the trolley?...

Apart from all these activities, we have discovered how to write dates in English by writing our birthday in a sheet of paper. This activity obviously was called When is your birthday? My birthday is... It is a fun way to review the numbers!
