Thursday 13th November

Hello boys, how are you today? I hope you're fine, I'm fine too. Last class we practised LIKE + ING again and again  but still you need more. I  mean, I know you understand the structure but when you write or speak you forget. I hope that you can do your homework in the right way and if still you have doubts or questions please: ask  me.

We went through all the skills last class; still we have to continue with the -ING verbs especially when writing, since speaking goes a bit better.

Anyway, I think that one of the most important things we practised in class was how to access to our blog. For this reason you will show that now you're able to enter by getting some extra points if you complete this activity.

- WHAT'S YOUR HOBBY?
- WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT YOUR HOBBY?
- WHEN DO YOU DO YOUR HOBBY?

Apart from this remember to complete the worksheet I gave you because is your homework.

And you Bruno please, take some pictures of you and the Dragon and tell us about the things you do with it.

To finish here you have your points:

1. Player 1: 28
2. Player 2: 28
3. Player 3: 23
4. Player 4: 27
5. Player 5: 27
6. Player 6: 25
7. Player 7: 27

That's all for today.

Be good, have fun, see you in class!

Bye!

Thursday 6th November

Hello class!! How's it going? Well, I hope you're ok enjoying your time, especially your free time. This is our new topic: free time and hobbies; so I hope this makes you speak as well as you did last class. Week after week you seem to take more seriously the language, I mean, at least you're trying everyday to improve your English. We're doing lots of activities based on speaking and pronunciation, this is the aim of the course. I'm glad to see that you (almost always) try your best.

Last Thursday we finished the revision of WH-questions organising some sentences. After that we introduced the new topic talking about the things you like doing in your leisure time. We pointed the importance of the structure LIKE + -ING (and some other verbs) and we practised. We completed this first part with listening exercises.

In the second part we listened to a song about hobbies and then we went on with voc related to things we enjoy doing (collecting things, reading books & comics, listening to music, playing video games, watching movies....) We practised pronunciation with a short text you will have to work with as homework. Don't forget! But just in case here you are:

 You have to complete this worksheet for next day. And you Charlie remember to show some pictures of you and our Dragon. Try to tell the class the things you  have done with it, especially in your free time.What abour his hobbies? Please, don't forget this time, and don't leave the Dragon at home!!

To finish here you have your points:

1. Player 1: 28
2. Player 2: 29
3. Player 3: 20
4. Player 4: 32
5. Player 5: 25
6. Player 6: 25
7. Player 7: 31

That's all.  This competition is becoming really interesting... Don't you think??

Be good, have fun, see you in class!

Thursday 30th October

Hello class, how are you? Planning a super very cool Halloween party? I hope so, and I hope you enjoy a lot. Last class we did. We worked with lots of things related to Halloween. You listened to some songs and even you danced...  You looked really cool with your masks and so.

We first checked your homework, very well done, by the way; and then we started talking about all the things you know about this celebration. We completed some wordsearch and other activities of this kind and we laughed a lot.

Then we were working with a Halloween story. Please, read again and answer the questions, it's homework. And you, Adrian, try to take some pictures of you and the Dragon, especially if you attent to a Halloween party. It would be nice if our pet dresses up too!

After our break we mixed with other students. They had prepared things for you and you did a really good game with the Hangman.  They were absolutely astonished. Everybody spent a good time.

To finish let's say your points:

1. Player 1: 39
2. Player 2: 39
3. Player 3: 37
4. Player 4: 40
5. Player 5: 41
6. Player 6: 29
7. Player 7: 40

That's all for today. I hope you have a really nice weekend.

Be good (and a bit naughty, it's Halloween) have fun, see you in class!

Bye!!

Thursday, 23rd, October

Hello dear boys! How are you? Waiting for the weekend... I'm sure. Well, me too.

Last class we were revising vocabulary related to family and we introduced adjectives to describe people's appearance. We were completing listening activities and you are doing better and better, at last!! We practised a lot  with examples and I think you know how to describe someone. Well, that's homework. You have to describe a person you like, since you didn't want to describe yourselves or someone in your family... Adrian, you have to describe our Dragon with lots of details, so what you don't know... you invent, and you add also some description when talking about the things you do with the pet, ok?

By the end of the class you played this "Who am I?" game.... and I have to say that if you want to play that game again you have to have clear rules since last day was not very good and you were fighting all the time.

Here you have your points:

1. Player 1: 12
2. Player 2: 16
3. Player 3: 5
4. Player 4: 15
5. Player 5: 14
6. Player 6: 12
7. Player 7: 16

Remember to take your HW with you for next day. Or you won't get points. And remember also that next Thursday we will join other students to enjoy some Halloween related activities and crafts. Please, as I told you, try to bring some stories to tell, games... whatever you said was ok, so please, do it. I trust you.

Be good, have fun, see you in class!

Bye!!

Thursday 16th October

Hi boys! How are you?? I guess you're really fine, knowing you did a very good job last class. Last Thursday you made a great effort to keep English throughout the whole class. That made me happy and we had a good time.

We started revising voc related to family and learnt new words. We completed some listening activities and worked with speaking too.

We worked also with BE GOING TO, and although you seem to  understand we will work a bit more. Anyway I was satisfied.

By the end of the class we played a game with cards related to family and was really fun!! It was a great fight and we laughed a lot. You got a lot of points, as well.

Here you have:

1. Player 1: 32
2. Player 2: 35
3. Player 3: /
4. Player 4: 32
5. Player 5: 34
6. Player 6: 23
7. Player 7: 30

Remember you have homework. You will show the worksheet I gave you with the info required and an appropriate picture. Then be ready to answer some questions, ok? So, that's all. Do your best and DON'T FORGET. As you know, if you don't do your homework you will get 0 points in that part.

Saul, you have the Dragon. In your case you will add a picture of our pet. Try to be original when answering my questions.

Be good, have fun, see you in class!!

Thursday 9th October

Hello class!! How are you? I hope you're fine now that it's "weekend". Remember to take a little time to revise what we learnt in our last class. We were working with vocabulary related to family and with possessive. We worked with possessive 's and possessive adjectives. We listened to a description about 2 people in a family and then you practised  pronunciation; you did a good job and won a lot of points.

Also you were given good marks for your homework. As you can see, when both sides (you and me) work together everything goes right. Next time less Spanish, as I asked you, ok?

For next week you have to create your family tree and give a short presentation to the class (as Thursday). Try to be original as I told you. All of you will show your family and Jonathan will show our Dragon Pet's family tree, ok?. This is homework. Do your best.

And now let's say your points (those of the game also included)

1. Player 1: 59
2. Player 2: 54
3. Player 3: 52
4. Player 4: 54
5. Player 5: 50
6. Player 6: 50
7. Player 7: 59

You are doing a good job except when you behave like four-year-olds... try to behave a bit better, ok?

Be good, have fun, see you in class!

Bye

Thursday 2nd October

Hello  boys, how are you? I hope you're ok and getting your homework ready for next day. Last class some of you  forgot at home... right?

Ok. Apart from that, some students had a very naughty behaviour during our last session. I hope you do your best next day or I will have to think of ways of punishing instead of planning games.

We were revising the way we use to speak about our friends and then we talked about the things we like (Your favourite actor, actress, football team...) You did very well. Then we were revising some nationalities first with a crossword (and activities) and with a chart on the blackboard)

You did a good speaking performance in general, but you have to practise a bit more, ok? For this reason we played that game by the end of the class (Who am I?) and also to get more points.

Here you are:

1. Player 1: 22
2. Player 2: 21
3. Player 3: 15
4. Player 4: 15
5. Player 5: 18
6. Player 6: 17
7. Player 7: 32

Remember: you have homework. You have to write around 10 lines about your country or the one you like, mentioning some geographical features, and famous and/or typical things (as we did in class) Also add a picture or drawing. and again: DON'T FORGET

Be good, have fun, see you in class.

Bye
