Well, I thought I had already written the blog.

Last week we reviewed hobbies and free time activities and then we started to learn about another topic: Nature.

We studied these words:

sea
ocean
beach
moon 
sky
river,\
lake
pond
mountains
hills
plant
tree
leave
grass
field
forest

Most of these words were not new for most of the students, so it was not difficult, but we'll continue today.

HOMEWORK

Go over the words.
Go to this link:http://www.englishexercises.org/makeagame/viewgame.asp?id=6329
Do the exercises. Here they use the word woods (We learned the word forest).

Then, make a picture of the countryside. Put a mountain, a field, a tree with leaves in the field, a river, some plants along the river, a lake, some ducks in the lake and a boy or a girl climbing a tree.

Last Friday everybody behaved better. I am quite glad.

We studied the names of hobbies:

dancing
cycling
playing computer games
reading
playing cards
playing chess
playing volleyball
doing gardening
fish keeping
making scrapbooks
collecting things
playing an instrument
drawing pictures
singing
watching TV
playing football
running
fishing
swimming
taking photos

There were a few more but I can't remember and I haven't got the flashcards with me.

Students practiced asking each other questions such as: Do you like fishing? or Does Alvaro like collecting things?
Students also wrote the names of the hobbies on cards and then we played the memory game.

Last they wrote sentences about a friend, saying what that friend likes and doesn't like. For example:

Ana likes playing volleyball but she doesn't like drawing pictures.

HOMEWORK

Ask everybody in your family what they like doing as a hobby and also what they don't like doing.

Then, write it down. Example: My mother likes dancing but she doesn't like singing.

Write 2 sentences like that for each member of your family.

I hope you are all well rested after the long weekend.

This a new month. It's spring and the flowers are blooming. Roses look very pretty.

Here is some work for you so you get ready for tomorrow:
