English La Trama 5: 2020

Congratulations for everyone!

Hi there, how all is going?

This week is your very first week at school and I am sure that you are very happy of being with friends and teachers. I have to say that I miss you a lot. I send you a warm and huge virtual hug!

Anyway, I have good news for all of you. Your project "I spy with my little eye" has won a Quality Label and that means that you made a great effort although the confinament in April, May and June.

When school finished I did a report with all your tasks and activities and the eTwinning National Agency has recognized your hard work. So, I want to congratulate you for your outstanding job. That means that every effort has its rewards. HOORAY for all of you!!!

Summer time

We don't know how but the end of the school year has arrived. I know that you want to switch off from school but I recommend you to keep your English alive! How? You can listen to English songs using Lyrics Training, you can read Travelers through Milton Education and you can use videos to improve your fluency. The videos below are examples. Try to match the tone, speed and even the accent (if you can). It doesn’t matter if you miss a few words, the important thing is to keep talking.

I encourage you to choose a short part of different shows and repeat it line by line!

END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR

Hi everyone, this is the last week of the school year. As a way of celebration, here you have an amazing Karaoke. Learn, sing and dance it with energy. By the way, remember to play the games in the NEW&FUN page.

What do you know about oceans?

Hi everyone! Today, June 8th is the World Oceans Day and it is celebrated by millions of people all over the globe!
Anyway, to celebrate this important day I encourage you to deep into this amazing Breakout in which you will have to pay attention to the clues given. Click on the image below and enjoy the activity!

Kindness&feelings

Hi there, how is all going? A new week, a new face for your blog. Do you like it? By the way,

we have to finish our eTwinning project but, as I told you last week, I am planning an on line meeting with Turkish and Georgian students. I will publish the date as soon as I know.

Meanwhile, June is here and I want to encourage you to measure how much kind are you?

Is it going to be difficult? Not at all!

Pay attention to the image below,

What does KINDNESS mean? It is a quality of being friendly and generous.
and I encourage you to be kind as much as you can!

GUIDE TO BE KIND

Print this picture and colour the appropiate drawing when you do or show your kindness. If you do not have a printer, you must write the action on a paper.
Keep calm and take your time because maybe this activity will be finished at the end of the week. Do not worry, upload your picture to Google Classroom at least when you have half of the activity painted or written.

Idioms and idioms

Hi everyone! We finished idioms drawings. HOORAY!! We have worked around 5 themes: food, body, animals, health and nature. Here you have a digital publication where you will find all of them (if you think that it's too small, use the zoom once you open the digital publication).

Idioms project

After that, I encourage you to play a game

If you want to choose different themes, here you have another board game. In this version, you have to decide the idiom themes. Then, you will have to draw your cards. After that, you will have to roll the dice and move along the board according to the number. If you land on orange/red/yellow grid, pick a card and say the idiom.

Global recycling Day!

Hi there,
yesterday, May 17th was the Global Recycling Day. UNESCO established that day to remind us all of the importance of reducing, reusing and recycling. So, from this post I want to encourage you to reuse cloth at home. How?
Making a bag from an old T-shirt!

MATERIAL:

old t-shirt

scissors

Lay your old t-shirt flat and use a pair of scissors to cut off the sleeves, neck area (so that it aligns with the sleeve cuts), and the bottom.

Now cut little strips on the bottom of the t-shirt (look at the photo)

TIP: While you are cutting the fringe take both the front and the back layer of the t-shirt so that you have pairs of strips.

Tie the strips together at the bottom in pairs until all of them are tied together and the bottom of the t-shirt is closed. Now you have a bag!

NOTICE: I cannot repeat the activity because I do not have another old t-shirt but I advice you to cut long strips because the idea is to have bags like the ones I show you in the photo below.

When you finish, upload a photo to your padlet.

Fingerprints and letters from Turkey for YOU

Hi everyone! here you have your fingerprints. Congratulations!! Also, I am very happy to share eTwinning answers to your letters. Turkish children celebrated Children's Day on April 23rd. That's the reason because they talk about that day. ;D By the way, if you want to read them, tap on each image and they will become bigger.

The bright side

Hi everyone, how are you?

Glòria, Gemma and Ines want to encourage you to mix movement+music+English.

choose a part of STAY HOMAS+JOSEP MONTERO’s song and do your personal choreography.

Also, I have just added a new assignement in Travelers. So, visit the page and follow the readings and quizzes. You have until May 24th

May 9th, eTwinning Celebration

Hi there, May 9th is the Europe Day. Because of that, eTwinning celebrates its day too. I want to share a flag-memory-game in this post. You have just to print two copies of each page and play memory game. I ask you a favour, when you play with the game, may you take a photo and send it to me, please? Thanks a lot ;D

This is NOT a compulsory activity

Let's play Kahoot about Idioms

Hi there, click on the logo and you will play Kahoot. You have just to introduce your name and start playing. You do not need a pin!

You can play as many times as you want! ;D

Personal description+idioms about Nature

Hi another time!

This task is related to "I spy with my little eye". First, you will visit Travelers where you have an assignment. It's a real letter that arrives to my mail. It is from a student in Turkey who wants to keep in touch with catalan students. After reading it and answering the questions, write a similar letter. When you finish, you can send it to me through Google classroom.

After that, draw an IDIOM related to Nature using Autodraw (click on the image to make it bigger)

Earth Day's craft and Healthy Idioms

Dearest children, how are you? Hope this post find you safe and healthy!

Next April 22nd is the Earth Day and I want to encourage you, now more than ever to think about how to protect our planet. What can we do at home? For this activity, you have to tap on the pic below and print the house. Once you have your template printed, write down your actions before making the house.

Some ideas:

Turn off the tap while you are brushing your teeth

Turn the lights off when you are not using a room

Reduce plastic

Reuse clothes

Reuse jars to tidy things...

Moreover, if you cannot print the house, give the Earth a hand by tapping the activity below. You do not need to print it. Just do the activity on a paper.

Do you have more ideas?

When you have your house and/or hand finished, take a photo and send it by mail.

2) Related to the COVID-19 situations, we have more healthy idioms to draw. I encourage you to draw the one you prefer. Remember to send it by mail taking a photo of your drawing.

To be (IDIOMS ARE IN THE eTwinning blog...look at the links on the right of the blog)

Hi everyone! Let's check verb To be. Remember its forms: Am, is, are,

Feelings-I'm - I'm not

Let's work around TO BE

Hi there, how are you?

Today we are going to check verb To Be. Along the second term we introduced it using the "to be/to have"page you have in the blog. Now, it is time to review and check it. Before watching the video, let me remind you the meaning of verb TO BE ("ser o estar"). Also, verb to be has three different forms in present simple: am, is and are.

Look at this image and try to memorize it.
