Hi boys and girls¡

Yesterday we spent a good part of the lesson reahearsing for the play: Goldilocks. So the ones that  were not here - Laura and Silvia - must remember to study their lines at home. And the rest of you should also practice their lines, because if you don´t know them by heart you will have to hold the paper in your hand during the play and won´t be able to think about things like eating all the porridge- Miriam- or sounding like a real bear - Saúl. 

We were also practicing numbers: from 1 hundred to 9 hundred. And the words: after, then and next. Students had to link numbers on the board: they had to find the next number and connect it with the one before. That´s what the Olympic Games were about. Students had to write the numbers they were told. We did it at the end of the lesson so I did not have time to write down their scores, which are on their notebooks. I´ll publish them next week.

We continued studying daily actions. 

Homework

Interview your father or your mother. Ask him or her.
1 What do you do after work? Do you come home?
2 What do you do first in the morning? 
3 Do you get dressed after you have breakfast?
4 Do you brush your teeth after you get dressed?

Example of answers:
1 No, I don´t come home, I go shopping.
2 I put on my slippers.
3 No, I don´t, I have breakfast after I get dressed.
4 Yes, I do.

DON´T BE LAZY, DO YOUR HOMEWORK.

Here is the script for the narrators in Goldilocks.

Silvia will do the yellow parts.

Marta wiil do the green parts.

Mario will do the red parts.

In between I marked the lines of the different characters: G for Goldilocks, DB for Daddy Bear, MB for Mummy Bear and BB for Baby Bear.

Once upon a time there was a Little girl. Her name was Goldilocks, she had Golden hair.

One day Goldilocks was walking in the forest. She saw a house.
Oh, what a sweet little house ¡
She knocked on the door.
Who is there?
Nobody was there.

Goldilocks saw 3 bowls on the table. She was hungry.
I´m hungry ¡ What´s this?
G

Goldilocks ate all the porridge.


Goldilocks was tired now.

But the chair broke.

Goldilocks was very tired. She went upstairs.

She lay on the bed and fell asleep.

Soon the bears came home.
DB   Said Daddy Bear.

MB  Said Mummy Bear.

BB  Said Baby Bear.



DB   Said Daddy Bear.
MB   Said Mummy Bear.
BB Said Baby Bear.
Then the bears went upstairs to the bedroom.

DB Said Daddy Bear.
MB Said Mummy Bear.
BB Said Baby Bear.

Goldilocks woke up and saw the 3 bears. She run downstairs and into the forest and never came back again.


 Please study your lines.

In our last lesson we were asking questions in the Present Simple. We asked about things we do every day. We also learned how to give short answers.

Do you wash your hair every day? Yes, I do. or No, I don´t
or
Does your friend read books every day? Yes, he does, or No, he doesn´t.
Does your mother cook dinner every day? Yes, she does, or No, she doesn´t.

Students worked with a partner and had to write 6 questions for 2 other classmates. They all did a very good job¡

We started a new unit. We listened to a recording and had to put some pictures in order. It was about what a girl does after school. After school, she listens to music, then she does her homework, then she has dinner with her family, next she goes out with her friends and then she plays video games on the computer.

HOMEWORK
What do you do after school?

What´s the date? 

Remember, if somebody asks you that question you must reply something like this:

                                November 13th, 2013

Students were looking at a clock and saying the time. But if you don´t know what time it is and you need to ask someone you must say:  

                                      What time is it?

We studied some daily actions, things that we do every day.

wash my hands
brush my hair

I hope you learn all those words for next day, that way Miriam won´t be  the only winner when we play Around the World.

We started the lesson saying when is our birthday and then each student said the birthday of somebody in their family.
Students asked each other: what time do you get up? and they answer the question.

We continue with the school subjects unit. Today students learned things they study in each one of the subjects:
nouns and verbs  in English or Spanish, mountains and rivers in Geography, drawing and painting in art, addition and multiplication in maths.
We learned some irregular plurals, like child/children, man/men, woman/women. These plurals are irregular because usually nouns only take an s to be plural: book/books.

Today there were 2 teams competing in the Olympic Games: they had to pick up a little paper from a bag and answer a question. These are the scores.
