Welcome back Alejandro!

In out last lesson we concentrated on spelling. We reviewed the places in the city and things we can do in those places. 

We can buy a table in a furniture store.

We can see animals at the zoo.

We can wait for the bus at the bus stop.

We can play in the park. 

We can get a haircut at the hairdresser's.

We can buy bread in a bakery.

We can do exercise at the gym.

We can eat in a restaurant.

We can have a drink in a cafe.

We can do lots of things in the city.

Last year we spend a month learning about food and eating. Now we are taking some time to look it over, as I noticed students had forgotten some of the things they had studied.

Remember:

Breakfast is the meal we eat in the morning, just after we get up.

Lunch is a light meal. People eat a sandwich, some fruit, yogurt. 

Dinner is the main meal.

For dessert we eat things like: fruit, yogurt, sweets, ice-cream, etc.

What can we put in a salad?

Students said: lettuce, tomato, cucumber, egg, carrots, and they are right, those are things we put in a salad. And more.

Students also made groups of foods: vegetables and fruits, cereals, dairy products ( made from milk), foods that have proteins (fish, meat, eggs) and sweets or foods with a lot of sugar.

HOMEWORK

Say what you eat 3 days this week. Example:

On Monday I have a glass of milk and cereal for breakfast.

For dinner (midday in Spain) I have a salad, fish and and apple for dessert.

Hello boys and girls!

In our last lessons students have been trying to work with a partner. That's proved quite difficult and so far our great achievement has been sharing a notebook to prepare work. But I'm sure we'll learn to help each other little by little.

Anyway, we are still learning about the city, its places and what we can do there.

Only Irene and Raul did their homework last week, but they did a Great Job. 

Last Friday students picked 4 cards of places in the city and put them in the order they wanted to visit those places.

Then they had to make sentences like this one:

First I am going to the park to play.

Then I am going to the supermarket to buy apples.

Later they worked in two teams and each team had to ask the other team:

Where are you going first?


We worked on the spelling of all the places in the city. Children had to match pictures and word signs.

We watched a video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMfJaeJ50SY  Then, each students decided what places they would like to have in their neighborhood and drew a picture of it. Favorite places with children are bakeries, cinemas or movie theaters, pizza restaurants and pet shops.

Homework
A. Watch this video and answer the questions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qd-upMdKywE

1. Where do you borrow books?

2. Where do you watch movies?

3  Where do you swim?

4. Where do you learn a lot?

5. Where do you see animals?


B Now, you ask 3 more questions like the question in exercise A, about places you can see in the video.

Welcome back and Happy New Year 2015

I'm glad to say that it was a good beginning. It's amazing, some of the students still remember new words we had studied last December.

We are studying places in the city and what we can do in those places

Places in the city are: 

Shops: furniture shop, ice cream shop, pet shop, bakery, market, supermarket, book shop, pharmacy.

Other places: church, park, post office, bus station, bus stop, fire station, gas station, hotel, restaurant, cafe, library, hospital, night club, gym, sports center, school, cinema, concert hall.

We are also learning to ask questions as:

What can you buy in a bakery? 

And answer:

You can buy bread in a bakery.

Or:

What can you do in a cinema?

You can watch a film in a cinema.

So this is the trick:

First you say: What can you

Then you say a verb: buy (for shops) or do (for other places) Ex: What can you buy

Then you say in + a place. Ex: What can you buy in a pet shop? Or What can you do in a hotel?

HOMEWORK

Answer the questions:

1.What can you do in a park?

2.What can you do in a restaurant?

3.What can you buy in a bakery?

4.What can you do in a concert hall?

5.What can you buy in a pet shop.

Then, watch this video and say: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZiSFMe9DbE

What places in the city do you see in the video?

See you on Friday!
