5th A back to school activity

Hi everyone, again:

I just share with you the most recent activity we have done: A Back from the Winter Holidays.

This consisted of writing three things you did or you didn't during Christmas break from a list of categories, and then sharing your answers with the class.

The activty went very well as led us to build up vocabulary and to speak in English about a set of topics which are known or familiar to us.

Best wishes,

2A. A picture of a winter landscape

Hi everyone, again:

I want to share with all you parents the most recent activity we have done: A picture of a winter landscape. We had started such topic before Christma's break and we are still on it. 

List of questions worked at class:

• What can you see in the picture?
• How many people can you see there?
• Is there any animal? Which? 
• What's the weather like in the picture? Why

Suggested answers to boost student's speaking skills:

• I can see a path with trees and grass, and a village at the background. 
• I can see a mother at the right of the picture, wearing a long coat and holding an umbrella, and two little children at the center, playing with leaves on the grass.
• Yes, there is. There is a little dog
• The weather is freezy and windy. It is very cold because they wear winter clothes, and is windy because we can see a lot of leaves flying around.

Best wishes

Bye!

6B. Back to class! and the "be going to" form

Hi everyone, once more:

It's the end of holidays, and therefore it's time to take back to English. Not only were the Christmas holidays a long break to rest and to get over, but also an opportunity to think about how the course was going on.

We started doing an activity that make us to think about our holidays carefully. An activity that make us give examples of things we had done and things we hadn't done, and places we had visited and what we had done there, and so on.

After that, we did another similar activity, named New Year's Resolutions, to introduce ourselves in the use of the form "Be going to" to talk about plans (and also intentions) in English.

Although it's somehow difficult to start again, both activites went on quite well, and the boys participated on it actively.

Best wishes

Bye!
