Project: This is my family!

At the end of our third unit, students were ready to talk about their families in front of their classmates. 

You can see how proud they were:

   
   
This was an optional project. Thank you boys and girls for sharing your family photos!

   SOME FAMILIES ARE BIG, 

   SOME FAMILIES ARE SMALL,

   FAMILIES ARE DIFFERENT,

   WE LIKE THEM ALL!!! 

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND!!!

Three songs to practise food!

These songs are very appropriate to practise food and "Do you like...? Yes, I do/ No, I don't" structure.

Treasure Box VIII: Eight in my Family song

We have done this brochure to draw a picture about "Eight in my family song" and write family members. 

  

We had all the drawings decorating our corridor. Let see if you can find your family picture in the following presentation!

Students really love this song! I hope they sing it at home as much as they have done at school! 

Remember to write the title here!

Family poem and song video

In the following videos, you can see students saying "The hand family poem" and singing "Eight in my family song". I hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Have a nice weekend!

Classroom routines VII: What's for lunch?

We have just started with our fourth theme and it is about food. For that reason, we have included "What's for lunch?" routine. 

This is our menu poster!

The classroom helper read the menu at the school canteen and we say it in English. The helper sticks the labels and  completes the menu in English! 

And this is TODAY'S MENU!

   

We are also remembering "one potato, two potatoes" traditional song learnt at the beginning of the School Year:

Treasure Box VII: The Hand Family Poem

We did this craft-work to practice "The hand family poem!" It is a different way to remember family members.

Andrea Aldaz and Rakel Fagoaga, both English teachers who worked in Ezkaba School, shared it with me and whenever I teach family topic I try to introduce because students love it! Thank you Andrea and Rakel! 

The Family Poem!

Aitor from Isabel's classroom had this great idea and he wanted to share it with us. Look at the family members drawn on plastic spoons! Thank you Aitor, it is a great idea!!

Aitor's family members!! 

Remember to write the title!

Classroom routines VI :Ready to answer a question?

Our fifth routine is "Ready for a question?". Students who want to answer one question raise their hands and the helper asks the following questions. We started with very simple questions:

      

When they were ready, we introduced new questions. 

       

Now we have included the following question: 

We practice food asking this question!

BUT NOT EVERYDAY! Because it will be quite boring!

We just say it, when we don't remember the answer!
