A LETTER TO MY PUPILS

Dear students, 

You've made a great effort this term, that's why you deserve the best Summer holidays in the world. But, you know what? It's not necessary to go abroad, travel far far away, to have a great spare time. You already have everything you need to have the best Summer ever: a great family, a great town surrounded with beautiful natural places and a lot of friends. Just in case you don't know what to do, here you have some activities you can do to enjoy the following months ahead. 

HAPPY SUMMER HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!

Love you, 

Teacher Ana 

SUMMER HOLIDAYS ARE HERE!

Summer holidays are just around the corner and this school year more than ever you DESERVE IT!!! You have been working a lot during this term, so you deserve the best holidays in the world! But just in case you'll need it, Spain is a very touristic place, let's review some vocabulary and expressions about summer and obviously....the beach!

Watch this episode of Steve and Maggie on Summer holidays. Can you recognize some summer vocabulary here?

Let's learn some words now about summer and the beach. Here you have a great video with vocabulary and pictures. 

Let's practice now! Play this interactive activity and check your answers! Listen carefully!

Now check what you've learned. Print or copy this worksheet about summer. 

HOMOPHONES: UE, EW, U_E

In English, LONG U sound has two sounds: the first one sounds as LETTER U, and the second one sounds like double OO. Those sounds also have their own homophones. Watch these videos to find out more. 

Then make a chart where you have to write down this two sounds and their homophones. Like this one. 

HOMOPHONES: IE, IGH, I_E

Today is Phonics day. We're going to review the letter "I" homophones. As we usually do, we're going to start with a couple of songs, just to warm up. 

Then we're going to play. Click on "Play as a singer player". 

 

At the end, write a chart like this in a piece of paper and classify the words you learn (7 of each group) in the videos above.

MR. HAPPY AND THE WIZARD - Roger Hargreaves

Time for a lovely story! Como disfrutamos con los cuentos, y más todavía si nos los contáis vosotros. Hoy tenemos la suerte de contar con Pierre, nuestro compañero del cole, que nos cuenta unos de sus libros favoritos en inglés: Mr. Happy and the Wizard.

Pierre es bilingüe, y ya lee muy bien en inglés. Ha querido compartir con nosotros esta bonita historia. Seguro que todos aprendemos algo nuevo a través de ella. Como dice el refrán, "nunca te acostarás sin saber algo más". Estad muy atentos porque durante todo el vídeo, ¡hay mensajes importantes con expresiones y vocabulario!

Compartir es importante, nos hace ser más humanos ya que nos permite preocuparnos más por el otro que por nosotros mismos. Cuando compartimos desarrollamos habilidades sociales como la asertividad y la empatía.

Mercedes, su mamá, comenta en el vídeo: "Hoy os voy a leer uno de mis libros favoritos en inglés. Espero que seais happy durante la cuarentena... Let's do it! Y ya sabéis dadle a la campanita amarilla, igual que Mr. Happy que es también amarillo...."

Muchísimas gracias por compartir este cuento familia Petit. Thank you so much!

TO BE OR NOT TO BE, THAT IS THE QUESTION

We can say that TO BE is the most important verb in English. In this post, we're going to review it before keep studying the simple past, these following days.
