GOING ON WITH THE ENGLISH PROJECT. Let's share, let's learn!

We continue with our English Project! The aim of the project is to improve the ORAL SKILLS of our students. Some of the actions we have already done since now are:
  • A speaking corner taught by our American teacher, Sara, which is really helping our students to see that they can really communicate in English!
  • Speaking activities with all the group in the class or in the playground.
  • Workshops where students have to sing songs of the Beatles, to listen to stories in English, etc.
  • Interactive games in the English lab for the younger students.
  • Watching films in O.V. or watching the news.
  • Doing a presentation routine every week.

We are preparing some other actions, such as creating a suermarket to do role-play with the students; filming a TV Programme; playing boardgames; cooperative reading; etc.!

YOU CAN FIND SOME PHOTOS OF OUR STUDENTS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BLOG. WE HOPE YOU LIKE THEM!

It's Getting Colddddd Outside

Another week has begun, and I am very surprised by the cold weather! I'm teaching the kids to say: "It's cold outside!" or "I'm cold!". They shiver and clutch themselves while they say it. I like to teach the kids practical phrases with motions. That way they remember it in two ways. Also, I usually act like a total clown when working on pronunciation. I exaggerate the words and make it sound super funny. I think everyone is having a good time!

Well, anyhow, even though it's a little too cold for me, I still love the winter. I hear it snows here sometimes...I hope it does!

Photos from the 5th and 6th grade excursion

Hello! Here are some photos from the excursion last Wednesday. I wish I had taken photos of every student, but I think these are representative of the fun we had!
