Hi everybody! How are things? Is it Ok?
What did we do on Tuesday?
We finished
listening to the song by Katie Perry. ‘Fireworks’
We matched two columns of words and later we filled in the gaps (completed the
spaces) with the words we had matched before. After that, we
listened to the song again and read it aloud so as to practice pronunciation.
You could have sung instead of read but it seems you didn’t feel like that! I I
don’t sing very well either!
And finally, we tried to understand the meaning
of the song. It says that sometimes you feel sad or a little unhappy (paper
thin, buried deep) but there is always a solution for problems and you can be
happy again. (Brighter than the moon). The song is about our moods; sometimes
happy, sometimes, sad.
We told the story of Guy Fawkes following the
pictures.
We also asked and answered questions about it.
We talked about fireworks.
·
When do you have fireworks in your country?
·
What are you celebrating?
·
What happens?
·
What other festivals do you celebrate?
We have fireworks on New Year’s Eve (31st
December), on Saint
John’s Night (24th June) and on the fiestas of the different towns and cities.
We celebrate the
beginning of the year, the longest
day of the year and the patron saints
of villages, towns and cities.
Remember that it would be a
good idea that you wrote these things on the blog. Remember to answer with
whole sentences!
We have decided to prepare an
exercise with different songs every week.
Guillermo is bringing the lyrics of a song he
likes. Delete some words from the lyrics and we’ll listen to it and try to fill
in the gaps in class. The song has to be in English, of course!!!
We missed one chapter of our story! Alicia is
going to write the following chapter this week.

At night they started to hear strange noises outside the house, and began
to feel very nervous.The noises said "um, um, um, grum, grom, grum",
and suddenly the door opened. There wasn't anyone at the door!!!!!!, so
they went out and started to run to the forest. In the forest a magical force
caught Guille and Alice, and they started to shout at the other guys...
We watched the video that Sara and Alicia’s
school recorded last year for the graduation party. It was “Lip dub” It was
great. But as
everything in life, it needs a lot of planning and preparation.
We started talking about our best friends.
We worked in pairs and interview each other
trying to find out the following:
·
What’s your best friend’s name?
·
Where did you meet?
·
Why are you
best friends?
·
How old is
your best friend?
·
How often do you see each other?
·
What is your favourite activity together?
We explained what Pantomime is. We have the
opportunity to see a pantomime performance in Madrid. We gave you a piece of
paper with the information about dates and prices, in case you would like to go
to the show.
Pantomime
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pantomime (informally panto),
is a type of musical
comedy stage production, designed for family
entertainment. It was developed in England and is generally performed during
the Christmas and New Year season. Modern pantomime includes songs, slapstick
comedy and dancing, employs gender-crossing actors, and combines topical humour
with a story loosely based on a well-known fairy tale.[1] It
is a participatory form of theatre, in which the audience is expected to sing
along with certain parts of the music and shout out phrases to the performers.
Pantomime has a
long theatrical history in Western culture dating back to classical theatre,
and it developed partly from the 16th-centurycommedia dell'arte tradition of
Italy, as well as other European and British stage traditions, such as
17th-century masques.[1] An
important part of the pantomime, until the late 19th century, was the harlequinade.
The pantomime is performed today throughout Britain and, to a lesser extent, in
other English-speaking countries.
For homework: you have two look for (search) or make up (invent) two pieces of news for our News Programme. We have to
start correcting and rehearsing.
Write the information and look up the words you don’t know in the
dictionary or on the web! Please don’t bring a paragraph with three
or four words missing in each line…
This week we changed our system for getting
points. Instead of adding points, I subtracted them for speaking in class or
not paying attention. This is the result
