Hello everybody  !

We are working on the topic senses. To see, to hear, to touch, to smell and to taste.
We did different games to get familiar with these verbs. For example throwing a  ball to a mouth while saying , ¨  taste! .¨..to a nose...¨smell !l¨ to a hand ¨touch¨ to an eye ¨See ! and to an ear  ;¨Hear ¨

As well we are making a book about the senses.

I brought different things to taste ....but the students were not very willing to try everything.
They like more the games where moving is involved
Tuesday we will play a game  with the following questions;   Can you taste the sun?  Can you hear a tree?   Can you touch a cloud ?  Can you smell a bird ??¨  Can you see the wind??

Let's see what will be the opinions of the students..............

6th grade -Project: A brochure of Great Britain

Hello to everyone,

After having baked muffins, we started a new project about Great Britain. 

My idea is the students get closer to Great Britain, For that reason, I think that discovering its culture and customs, its towns and cities, or its landscsape and natural parks might be an effective way to keep their attention towards English, which is, actually, what we all wish!

The project has two steps. First, we watched a video about Great Britain and its main features or topics. It was a good listenning activity, and they did a great effort to understand it. After that, we discussed about what it has been understood and what not, and made an outline and a list of the main topics that had appeared on the video.

Second, we made up a brochure of Great Britain, which explained the most important and interesting features of Great Britain.  For doing so, we splitted in groups, and made sentences, and made decisions about the design (pictures, the font, its size...). 

We have been working on its second part of the project since last week. It's almost finished. We are going to post the brochures to the blog as soon as we can.

Bye for now!

They had fun moulding clay with their own hands, for sure!

The figures were amazing and surprising!
