We played ‘Pairs’. First with opposites.

A tall boy and a tall girl.                 A short boy and a short girl.

A thin book and a thin rubber.      A thick book and a thick rubber.

A fat woman and a fat man.         A thin woman and a thin man.

A long ball-pen and a long ruler.   A short ball- pen and a short ruler.

Then, matching photos of clothes with their spelling.

Game with Clothes

 

We made arts and crafts. We coloured the clothes on a photocopy and cut them out.  The dollies, a boy and a girl and we put their clothes on. And took their clothes off.

Take her hat off.                 Put his shoes on.

Take her dress off.            Put his trousers on.

Take her socks off.           Put her T-shirt on.

Now you can play this game putting on and taking off teddy’s clothes.

Kidnapped!

Hello children!

Where’s Ángela?  Did they kidnap her?

This is the title of our play for the end of course ‘Kidnapped’ (secuestradas)

We started the rehearsal (practice) last Friday. In our play there are two princesses, there is a queen, there is a fairy. There are two soldiers and the Lord of the castle.

We played “Hot Potato” with colours, furniture and clothes.

We revised prepositions with an ‘instructions game’

·         Put the pencil on the chair.

·         Put the pencil under the table.

·         Put the pencil in the pencil case.

Then, we meet Mary’s dad and Peter’s mum.

We listened and answered the questions.

a green skirt.                        a black suit.

a yellow blouse.                              a white shirt.

a brown belt.                        a blue tie.

What colour is his suit? It’s black.

What colour’s her blouse? It’s yellow.

What colour are her shoes? They’re yellow.

We made our own cards to play ‘pairs’.

We had two pieces of cardboard. We chose pictures of clothes from a magazine and cut them out. Then we pasted them on a piece of cardboard. We wrote the name of the clothes on another piece of cardboard. And we were ready to play pairs!

The games and the behaviour in class are part of our Games results!

Clothes and Colours

Friday 9^th May

Hello everybody!

Everybody except Raúl, because he didn’t come to class. But today Ángela and David came to class.

Ángela was not very well but now she is fine. And David was away from Madrid but today he is here, too.

We started the class playing “Hot Potato” to revise vocabulary from previous lessons: the house and the body.

The game is like this: you have a ball in your hands. Then you have to say a word (rooms, colours, food, etc. the teacher choses the topic) and after that, you throw the ball to your classmate and he or she does the same. We set one minute time. If the time finishes or your classmate repeats the word or can’t find a word, then, he or she loses and is out!

It was funny! Remember that you “throw the ball to” your classmate not “ throw the ball at” (aggressively) your classmate”.

We learnt the names of clothes and coloured some pictures.

What is this? It’s a red T-shirt.

What are these? They are black shoes.

What are these? They are blue jeans.

What are those? They are yellow socks.

What colour is the skirt? It’s blue and white.

What colour are the trousers? They are purple.

What colour are your trainers? They are black and white.

We also listened to a funny song “Where are the clothes?” You can listen to it again, on this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFWm1sUCD_g

We played numbers with first, second, third etc.

Do you remember these numbers? They tell us who is number 1, 2, 3 etc. and we use them to say the dates. Our next class is on Friday 16^th (sixteenth)

first            1^st       fourth          4^th          seventh    7^th

second     2^nd       fifth              5^th          eighth       8^th          tenth     10^th

third          3^rd       sixth            6^th          ninth         9^th

eleventh   11^th     fourteenth 14^th        seventeenth 17^th

twelfth      12^th     fifteenth      15^th        eighteenth    18^th    twentieth 20^th

thirteenth 13^th     sixteenth    16^th        ninteenth       19^th

We haven’t learnt to write these numbers yet. Only from first to tenth!

And we finished the class playing “bingo” with clothes.

 In our next class we’ll play “pairs” and we’ll learn more things!

Is Your Hair Long? Are Your Eyes Blue?

Friday 25^th April

Hello!

You had very nice Easter holidays. Me, too. Thank you!

And next week we don’t have class. Holiday again!!

Where are Ángela and David? They are not in class today.

‘What did you say?’ ‘Ah! It is possible that they are on an excursion’.

We played a game with instructions.

·         Touch your hair.                            Remember: touch, close, pinch, raise

·         Close your eyes.                            right / left

·         Touch your mouth.

·         Touch your ears.

·         Raise your right arm.

·         Raise your left arm.

·         Touch your nose.

·         Pinch your cheeks.

·         Raise your left leg.

·         Raise your right leg.

·         Touch your neck.

Then, we played a game describing the faces of four children.

Look at ‘A’. What does he look like?

His hair is curly and brown. His skin is dark. His eyes are brown.

What does ‘C’ look like?

Her hair is long and brown. Her eyes are brown. Her skin is pale.

What does ‘D’ look like?

Her hair is short and fair. Her eyes are blue. Her skin is pale.

What does ‘B’ look like?

His hair is long and fair. His eyes are blue. His skin is pale.

Remember: ‘his’ for a boy; ‘her’ for a girl. His hair is / his eyes are

What about you?

Is your hair long? Yes, it is.                                      What do you look like? - Song

Are your eyes green? No, they aren’t.

Is Lucía’s hair dark? Yes, it is.

Are Raúl’s eyes blue? Yes, they are.

Are César’s eyes brown? No, they aren’t.

Is Sara’s hair short? No, it isn’t.

Is Eva’s hair curly? No, it isn´t.      

We studied ‘ordinal numbers’

first            1^st            fourth     4^th          seventh    7^th

second     2^nd           fifth         5^th          eighth       8^th          tenth     10^th

third          3^rd            sixth       6^th          ninth         9^th

Colour the sixth basket, blue. Colour the third egg, pink. Colour the first chicken, red.

We use these numbers to say the date. And we made a present for our mothers, because it’s Mother’s Day on 4^th May.

                                   Happy Mother's Day - Song
