Hello children!

Last Friday we practiced first saying what we like doing:

I like playing football.

I like dancing.

I like playing hide and seek.

I like drawing pictures. 

I like going to the cinema.

Some children liked doing a lot of things, other children liked doing only one or two things or that is what they said.

Then we talked about things we wanted to do at that moment instead of studying or things we didn't really want to do.

We put a list of things on the board and children chose the ones they wanted to do:

I want to eat an ice-cream.

I want to buy a toy.

I want to draw a picture.

I want to watch TV.

I want to go to the zoo.

Children usually want to do those things.
We played a game. Children were given 3 cards, each one  showed an activity - the activities they wanted to do - The other students had to ask: Do you want to play the guitar? or Do you want to run? They got points when the guessed.

Later, we read about Stella's family and answer some questions. Children in this group are excellent readers for their age.

Hello and welcome back!

We all had a nice holiday. And now we must continue studying the jobs people do.

In our last lesson students had to identify a job given its description. For example:

This person puts out fires.

or

This person drives a taxi.

Students were able to identify all the jobs and even say what some people do in their jobs.


Later we listened to Stella, Simon and Suzy talk about their family and say what some of their members did. Their aunt, for instance, is a doctor and Stella wants to be a doctor too.
Their uncle is a farmer. And Suzy just wants to be funny like her granddad.
Students answered some questions about the listening.

We also read a story about a boy, Ben, who has a great imagination. Children had to make up a different end to the story. They had some good ideas.
