Irene brought some great pictures of her with Beautiful engaged in various activities. Good job, Irene!
This week Beautiful is spending it with Luna, I am sure they are both having a wonderful time together.

Last Friday we were studying the rooms in the house and the furniture we usually have in each room.

We studied the following words:

Kitchen: fridge, cooker, sink, cupboards, 

Bathroom: toilet, sink, bath, shower.

Living room: sofa, armchair, TV stand, bookcase.

Dining room: table and chairs.

Bedroom: bed, bedside table, wardrobe, desk, shelf.

Laundry room: washing machine.

We watched a video and sang the song. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUTxbewGGis

Later students were given a worksheet with the picture of a house with its rooms and they had to cut out the items of furnitur, glue them in the right place and read the names of each item.

Students must be able to say sentence like: In the living room there is a sofa and a TV stand. Or

There is desk in my bedroom.

HOMEWORK
1/Say: What is there in your bedroom?

2/ Go to this link and do Ex. 2. Then write the answers on a piece of paper.http://www.englishexercises.org/makeagame/viewgame.asp?id=7027

We had a very emotional class last Friday and it was the Dragon's fault. Because now we have a mascot, which is a dragon who came flying from the US.

We were thinking of a name for our dragon and there were many suggestions, but finally the one that all the children voted for was the name suggested by Luna: Beautiful Dragon. I think we'll call him Beautiful for short. 

After naming the dragon, we reviewed the place prepositions, which students seem to know quite well already. But as we want to continue using them, so we don't forget them, we started to study the rooms in the house - which most students know already - kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room, dining room, garage and laundry room and also some of the furniture and things we have in each of those rooms.

Each student made a picture of one of the rooms and then wrote the name of the most important things in the room. Ra'ul, for instance, made a kitchen with a cooker, a fridge and a sink. Irene made a living room, with a sofa, a bookcase and a TV. Luna, a bathroom, with a toilet, a bath and a sink. Alvaro made a dining room with a table, chairs and a lamp. And Alejandro made a bedroom, with a bed and a wardrobe.

Then, we listened to a recording: students had to follow the directions and put each thing in the right place on a picture. Students must remember that when we listen to a recording they must be very quiet so they can understand everything.

We are planning a new play: Goldilocks. We have a little problem, because all the boys want to be Baby Bear. It is not decided yet.
This time, Irene got to take Beautiful home with her for the week. Luna and Irene, who had behaved very well during the whole class were the only candidates this time. They threw a die and Irene wan. But next week it will be Luna's turn.

Homework
Make a picture of your bedroom or another room. Then say where 4 things are. Example:

The bookcase is next to the window.
The shelf is over the bed.
The book in on the bed.
The teddy bear is on the shelf.

Hello children!

Last friday, Begoña couldn't come to class so Chus was the teacher. 

We practised questions like What's your adress?, What's the weather like?, When is your birthday? and so on.  All of you answered the questions correctly. Good job! 

Then, we practised prepositions. In his/her turn, each student said, for example, the ball is under the box, the ball is behind the box... and the other children had to take the right card.  I think you have learnt prepositions very well.

After the break, we sang the prepositions song! We sang in two groups: boys,  girls and the chorus... everybody!! It was very funny, wasn't it? You have the link on the blog.

Finally, we did a listening and a worksheet. We revised There is/ There are sentences.

Is there a ruler on the table? Yes, there is.

Are there eighteen fish on the board? No, there aren't.

HOMEWORK

Look at the picture.,

Make 5 sentences like this: The bear is between the hippo and the elephant.
Use the words next to, in front of, on, between, behind.

Hello! 

In our last lesson I asked students where they live. I said: Where do you live? And they said: I live in Leganes. All but Alejandro, who doesn't live in Leganes. Then I asked them: What's your address? This question is not new, we studied it last year, but it's good to revise it because most students were not sure how to say their address anymore.

Remember: Jennifer's address is  10, Alamo Street. 

We continued practicing place prepositions. Each student took a card and without showing it to his/her classmates, took Jennifer, who was playing with us, and put her somewhere in the position indicated by the card. The other students had to guess, say things like: Jennifer is in front of the board. Or Jennifer is behind the bin.

We watched a couple of videos with songs to learn the prepositions and this is the one students like the best:

Later students drew some objects in boxes; the boxes were placed on top of another or next to one another. In the second part of the exercise students had to ask a partner: Where is ball in your picture? and answer: The ball is under the bike or the ball is next to the bike. 
I think some of the students tricked and instead of asking they copied their partner's picture, which is not a very nice thing to do.

Homework
Watch the video above and learn the song. Then, answer 3 questions:

Where is the rose?

Where is the C?

Where is the snake?
