Hello boys and girls!

We are rehearsing the play Goldilocks. Luna is Goldilocks and she has to learn more lines. I think the rest of the students can learn their lines in class, but they can check this link at home if they want. The difference is that in this video they eat porridge and in our play we say soup. http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/es/short-stories/goldilocks-and-the-three-bears

Apart from that we are studying feelings and emotions. In our lesson last Friday students had to take a flashcard and mime the feeling represented on the card. They did a good job.

We also went over the prepositions. Students were given instructions for a drawing. They had to draw several objects and animals in a given position on the paper. I think they enjoyed this activity and did very nice drawings.

HOMEWORK

Here is a list of feelings:

1.Excited

2.Hungry

3.Angry

4.Surprised 

Read what these children say.

Harry says: Look at that hamburger!

Jenny says: Tomorrow is my birthday and I have a birthday party!

Beth opens a present and says: Oh! It 's a red dress!

Keith says: Brian is stupid. He doesn't want to play with me.

Who is hungry?
Who is excited?
Who is surprised?
Who is angry?

Last Friday we started working on a new topic. It´s Feelings and Emotions. Some of the students already knew many of the words we studied. Because of that they paid little attention to the words they did not know and when it came time to play Olympic Games, none of them remember the wordsÑ

excited, sick, miserable, shocked, confused, fine

the other words we are studying and that most of the students already know areÑ

happy, sad, angry, scared, nervous, tired, bored, surprised

To practice all of them we used flashcards and students played teacher and show them to other students.

We also watched a video and practiced the song. Students did very well with the song and each one of them sang a part and got points for it. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4WNrvVjiTw

Alvaro brought some very nice pictures of him, his brother and Beautiful. It seems they had a very good time together.

Last Friday we started rehearsing our play: Goldilocks. We could only do it once because the actors and actresses have not learned yet how to listen to the director of the play and keep moving around changing the furniture and making far too much noise.

These are their roles: Goldilocks is Luna, Baby Bear is Alvaro, Raúl is Father Bear, Irene, Mather Bear and Alejandro is Grandpa Bear.

We also did some more exercises on the topic of house and furniture. Each students was given a picture of a room, but they had to hide it from their classmates. We wrote 3 lists of words on the board: things in the kitchen, things in the living room and things in the bedroom. Students had to guess the things that were in their classmates' pictures and ask questions: Is there a washing machine in your kitchen? or Is there an armchair in your living room? or Is there a desk in your bedroom?
We also did a listening: students had to listen to instructions and color a living room in their worksheet. This way we went over the prepositions of place too. Instructions were sentences as: the table next to the sofa is yellow. 

HOMEWORK

Here is a fun memory game for you:http://www.eslgamesplus.com/furniture-vocabulary-memory-game-for-esl-practice/

Later, make the pictures of the things you remember and write the word under the picture.
