Games, Games, Games...and a Video!

Monday 15^th June,

Hi girls! Only three more days and you’ll have your summer holidays!

You’ll have to wait a bit more to have holidays from Learn & Enjoy! But it is funny to play games in English and watch the presentations of our work and the projects we have done during the course.

What did we do yesterday?

We started with Paula telling us about her last week with Coby. What did she tell us about? She did a great summary of Coby’s year with all of us. It was a farewell (when you say goodbye) because Coby started his holiday yesterday.

                                                 

Then, we checked your homework.  Stewie (a character from the cartoon series, ‘Family guy’) told us about his family.

 This helped us to talk about our daily routines and to review the present simple.

Present simple
Affirmative	Negative	Interrogative
I live in Spain.	I don’t live in Spain. (do not)	Do you live in Spain?
He studies maths.	He doesn’t study maths. (does not)	Does he study maths?
They buy newspapers.	They don’t buy newspapers. (do not)	Do they buy newspapers?

In most of the verbs we add ‘s’ for the third person singular: he, she, it

In verbs ended in ‘sh’, ‘ch’, ‘o’ and ‘ss’ we add ‘es’.

When the verb ends in ‘consonant + y’ we change it in ‘ies’.

+s		+es		+ies
I	He/ she/it	I	He/ she/it	I	He/ she/it
play	plays	watch	watches	study	studies
get up cook feed the dog sleep	gets up cooks feeds the dog sleeps	wash Kiss do homework go home	washes kisses does homework goes home	cry fly	cries flies

After that we did the listening from the assessment test and we revised the test. I answered your questions and doubts.

Then, we recorded a video explaining the project we did for ‘Design for Change’. As you know this is a charity (an association that helps people). Their work is focused on education and schools. On the video we also talked about the second hand market that we organized and that we are going to donate the money we had from there to the charity.

Both, Paula and Eva liked the project but what Paula didn’t like is that the other classmates left.

And we finished the class playing boarding games.

We played ‘The journey’. There are 8 cards with different pictures on them: a box of matches, a torch, keys, a sandwich etc. Each player has some of these cards. Then, they throw the dice and sart the journey, following the instructions on the board.

We reviewed be, can and have got, with this game.

Paula won!!!!

Then, we played ‘Who is it?’. We revised the questions: Has your person got…? Is your person wearing…? And Eva won!!!! So, we had a draw! (the same number of points)

And the class finished! No homework for next week! And we have already finished our games, too!

We’ll give the prize to the winner next week in class!

Enjoy your week.

See you on Monday!
