Let's Start Our New Course!

Tuesday 23rd September, 2014

Hi! So, this is the beginning of our new course. Welcome everybody!

We started introducing each other with a game.
After that, we split (divided) into pairs and we interviewed our classmate. We made questions such as:

·         Where do you live?
·         How do you spell your surname?
·         What year are you in?
·         What’s your favourite subject?
·         How many brothers and sisters do you have?
·         Do you have a pet?
·         What kind of music/food/TV programme…do you like?
·         What’s your favourite colour?
Can you remember something about your classmates?

We reviewed vocabulary for clothes and physical description so as to play a game. In this game we had to ask 10 “yes/no” questions and guess who the person was. At first, the mystery person was a classmate but later, we used the board game characters.

We started talking about celebrations. We described some photos and talked about what we thought the celebration was. It seems to me (I think) that your favourite celebration is BIRTHDAYS!!!  And also May 1st because it’s a long bank holiday (not bridge!) and the weather is good because it’s spring.

To talk about festivals and celebrations we need to review dates. Remember that in English we use ordinal numbers for the dates. You have some links and exercises below:


Your homework this week consists in writing 5 sentences about a celebration or a festival. For example:
                                                     
I celebrate Christmas with my parents, my brother and his family. We have dinner together on Christmas Eve. My mother cooks a special meal and we drink champagne. The kids drink Coke because it’s a special night. We go to sleep and in the morning we find presents under the Christmas tree. I love Christmas.

Don’t forget to do homework either in your notebook or on the blog. And remember you can use the blog to tell us what you did during the week or at the weekend or what things do you do / like etc. Parents’ contributions are also welcome. Bye

See you next Tuesday!
