Saint Valentine's Day and Carnival - Flipped Class

Monday 9th, February

Hi everybody!
What did we do in class yesterday?


We started with Marcos telling us about his visit to the USA. They visited the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building with Coby. They also went to The White House. He brought the pictures of the places they visited but…where’s Coby? Where’s Marcos? I can’t see them in the photos!
Anyway, good job, Marcos. Well done!

Then we corrected homework. You had to tell me about the weather using the vocabulary we had learnt.

Next Monday we are going to do this exercise. You can start practising!

After that, you show me what you have prepared for ‘Flipped Class’ and we practised the developing of the class.
 Paula brought (bring) a nice present for the kids of the other class. They were Lollipops glued onto a beautiful cardboard heart and decorated with ribbons. I hope you taught (teach) the children how to make them. Paula, could you take a photo of them and post it on the blog, please?
We played Silvia’s games: ‘Pairs’ and ‘Mime and Guess’. She teaches the vocabulary and after that we play.
With Sara, the kids played ‘Noughts and Crosses’ a very nice board game she made herself. The pieces were hearts! And also a wordsearch with vocabulary related to Carnival.
Lucía asked questions about Saint Valentine’s and Carnival and gave (give) us information.
Eva brought (bring) pictures related to Saint Valentine’s and gave (give) them to the kids for their performance in the games. They were the awards (prizes).
With Marcos, the kids made Valentine’s cards. They draw a heart and wrote ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’
David brought (bring) vocabulary related to both festivals: Saint Valentine’s and Carnival. And he explained what the two festivities were.














Before the break we continued with our project for the term based on the GNO Design for Change. We are on the first stage: Feel. You wrote on pieces of paper the things you don’t like in your school, neighbourhood, the English academy… We’ll continue with this next Monday. But I can tell you what I don’t like in English class. ‘I don’t like that the students don’t listen to their classmates when they are speaking. And they whisper between them. You don’t respect your classmates and it isn’t nice.’

Next Monday we are going to solve the mystery of the ‘wall of the classroom’. Something happened to the wall and somebody knows about it. Let’s find out (discover) how it happened…

And that was all!
Thank you to Nené, Sergio and David for coming to our class. It was a lovely lesson. You are very good students. And thank you to our teachers: Silvia, Lucía, Eva and Sara. But, remember that teachers listen to their students and don’t talk among them all the time!
