Comparatives

The Year 5 students are learning how to make comparisons, so they have chosen two animals to compare and make a poster.

 

Then, they have shared their work with the rest of the class:

Nice jobs!

Our recipes

The Year 6 students are learning vocabulary of food and the grammar structure "There is/There are and Some/Any" as well as some connectors. That is why, as an end of unit project they have chosen their favourite food to write a recipe.

Then, they have explained their work to the rest of the class:

You've been amazing!

This is our town

The Year 4 students are learning vocabulary related to the town: hospital, train station, police station, newsagents', shops, bus stop, cinema, café, museum and supermarket, and the grammar structure "there is/there are", so to interiorise it better they have designed their own town in groups.

After that, they have presented their town to the rest of the class:

Amazing towns!

Dress the doll

The Year 2 students are learning vocabulary about clothes, and in order to practice it they have made a display with a doll, a cupboard and some clothes: jumper, skirt, coat, shorts, trousers, shirt, T-shirt and shoes and socks.

They have been playing with their dolls, trying them different outfits. Then, they have chosen an outfit to describe to the rest of the class.

Fantastic!!

The Year 1 students are learning the family members in English: father, mother, sister, brother, baby, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle and cousins.

The Tower Game

The Tower Game is a fantastic activity to reinforce vocabulary and grammar structures in all year groups.

With Pre-primary students I use it in 2 different ways: either I say a word and they have to pick the correct flashcard or I show them a flashcard and they say the word.

In the second picture, the Year 4 students are playing to learn how to describe people and construct affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences.

To play, I show a flashcard to a student, and he or she has to say the correct sentence in order to get a glass to make the tower.  

If I say "affirmative" they have to say "She/He has got (curly) hair; if I say "negative" they have to say "She/He hasn't got (short) hair"; and if I say "interrogative" they have to say "Has she/he got straight hair?"

The students take turns to say the sentences and add a glass and a card to the tower, to see how high they can go.

They love this game, and they have lots of practice in a funny way :)

Wow!!

Li has got a new pet!

The Year 2 students are learning vocabulary about pets and the structure "Has she got a ...? Yes, she has/No, she hasn't"

In order to reinforce it, they have been playing a gessing game in pairs using the structure mentioned above.

Have a look at them playing:

Then, we have continued practicing the vocabulary and the grammar structures singing the song "Li has got a new pet! 

        

They love this song!

Gingerbread man cookies

The Year 1 students are learning the parts of the body with the story of the Gingerbread Man. That's why, we have decided to make our own gingerbread man cookies to build his head, body, arms, legs and then put his eyes, nose and mouth.

Here you can see some pictures of the process:

mmmm...delicious!!

Playing with the Interactive Whiteboard

We've got an Interactive Whiteboard in the English classroom and we use it a lot, mostly to play interactive games to revise the vocabulary and the structures of each unit.

Here you can see the Year 3 students playing some of the games:

1. Image select game: in this game the students have to select the correct word for each picture

2. Anagram game: in this game the children have to arrange the letters to form a word or a sentence

3. Tomato splash game: in this game the students have to select the correct letters in order to write a word or a sentence

We have lots of fun!
