Thursday 22nd January

Hello class!! How are you? I guess you're ok since it's nearly weekend and you can rest and relax and have a good time. Maybe you are going to practice your favourite sports; that could be fine now that you have to prepare a presentation about one of them... I hope not everybody speaks about football.

Last class we learned more voc related to sports as sailing, cricket, rowing, fencing... and equipment we use to practice them, as helmet, bat, racquet, stick... We were listening to some kids talking about their favourite sports and when they practice and things like that. Your activities were right.

Also we were doing many activities about the use of the verb CAN for abilitity. Remember that we use this verb the same for all the pronouns: we DO NOT add the final -s to the 3rd person singular. And very important: we DO NOT say "TO" before the infinitive: we say I can ride a bike, but we do not say I can to  ride a bike. Be careful!!

After doing lots of things we listened to a very popular song, always related to sports: "We are the Champions" You really enjoyed the song although you didn't complete all the gaps very well... Here you have in case you want to try again:

To finish with this topic about sports I asked you to prepare a kind of presentation about your favourite one covering these points:

• Choose a sport
• Look for relevant information
• Prepare a presentation (including rules, equipment...)
• Add a picture or photograph

And very important: DO NOT FORGET!!! If you don't bring your homework you'll get no points.

Going on with our Pet's travels next week we'll know about Japan thanks to Adrian. Remember to take our Dragon's experience when visiting this country and tell us about it, ok?

To finish today here you have your points:

1. Player 1: 15
2. Player 2: 31
3. Player 3: 31
4. Player 4: 31
5. Player 5: 32
6. Player 6: 28
7. Player 7: 32
8. Player 8: 14

These weeks you're doing a good job in class... if things go on like this we'll have 2 or more winners!!Let's see.

Be good, have fun, see you in class!

Bye!

Hello class!! First of all Happy New Year and welcome to the second term of our course. I hope you have enjoyed these weeks of holidays and you're ready to work.

Last class we started a new topic, one you like a lot:SPORTS. I know you enjoy this topic since most of you practice sports. Even you showed you know  lots of words related to this.Let's see next week if you still like so much... I hope so in spite of the new voc you'll learn.

We practised lots of listening activities and speaking, too. I have to say you did better than the previous weeks, and that's always good.

Here you have the music we listened to when talking about motivation at sports:

Remember to bring your homework next day: you have to translate the text we practiced in class, we read the whole text and understood the new voc, so I think it's really easy. Saul, you have to do this craft based on the travels of our pet; this term we'll work with  different cultures around the world taking the dragon as the character of these adventures. Don't forget to tell us about your country.

And to finish here you have our points:

1. Player 1: 25
2. Player 2: 25
3. Player 3: 25
4. Player 4: 26
5. Player 5: 25
6. Player 6: 24
7. Player 7: 26
8. Player 8: 24

That's all!

Be good, have fun, see you in class.

Hello class!! How are you? Ready for Christmas?? I'm sure you are after these months working so hard!! I hope you spend a really good time with family and friends and enjoy these special celebrations.

Last class we had a good time; we made some crafts, we took some photographs and we sang and dance a very nice Christmas carol. I'm really proud; you did very very well.

Then you received your marks and we knew who was the winner of our Olimpic Games: This tern the winner is Adrián Esteban... but Adrián Flores was very few points less... The second term is looking interesting!

And that's all this term... I really wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy happy 2015

Be good, have fun, see you in class... next year!!!

corn on the cob, feast, pilgrims, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, gravy, roast turkey...

Last class we first checked your comics; well, we will continue a bit more until we have a kind of book full of pictures and stories, it will be really nice, believe me.

Thursday 20th November

Hi boys! How's it going?Making up stories for your comics? Well, that's what I hope because in class you showed very cool ideas!

Last class was very good. I was very happy because some of you got extra points after completing the questions I wrote in the blog. I hope more and more of you start doing the same, I mean, entering the blog to do this activities, or upload some of your photos, well, what you  want.

We were working with hobbies voc and you role played some interviews in order to know more about your classmates, asking the things you like, you love, you don't like and so on. You did surprisingly well as I told you.

After that we were practising some listening activities in which people were talking about their free time activitites. Then we practised some more speaking. It seems this topic is easy for you, especially because your homework was really, really good. I'm astonished!

Then, we started with our project. In the end you decided to do a comic instead of writing stories. Well, maybe that's a better idea taking advantage of your imagination. We started with some drafts so for homework you will write and draw them clean, ok?

And you Jorge, take care of the Dragon and next day show us some pictures and explain the class the things you're doing, right? Enjoy these days, ok?

And here you have your points:

1. Player 1: 32
2. Player 2: 31
3. Player 3: 14
4. Player 4: 27
5. Player 5: 18
6. Player 6: 17
7. Player 7: 32

Well, I hope you enjoy with your pictures and stories as you did in class. We had lots of fun.

Be good, have fun, see you in class!
