Addams family 3ºA and 3ºB

Hello!
Last week , as 3rd graders are learning about family,they met the Addams family and they filled in their family tree

 

 

Afterwards I asked them some questions to elicit the family members

 

ex: How is Wednesday related to Pugsley? (sister)

How is Mosticia related to Wednesday?(mother)

How is the witch related to Pugsley? (grandmother)

etc..



The next step, as Halloween is just around the corner, was to taught them the Addams family song

Finally to continue the theme family and relating it to Halloween, the students had to complete a worksheet with the Phantom family tree.I read the clues and they had to find out the family members names

 

ps: only 3ºA started the last exercise.

Go away big green monster

 

Hello!
Last lesson 1ºA learnt a song related to Halloween, this song not only taught them new vocabulary as monster, witch, cat, ghost, scary, spooky) but also taught the expression "go away".

I Hope you enjoy listening them singing :)

HEALTHY AND NOT SO HEALTHY HABITS - 4ºA

Hello!
The past two lessons 4th graders had a debate about healthy and not so healthy habits. It all started with a worksheet in which they had to fill in with their own habits.

(Cross Curricular resources for young learners -Oxford)

Besides the possibility to fill in with A-always, S-Sometimes and N-never, I let them also use O-Often and R-rarely 

After filling in the worksheet we talked about their choices.

Imaginary five o'clock tea - 1st grade

Hello!

Last Tuesday, as it was the day of food in the 1st graders lesson we had a 5 o'clock tea, an imaginary 5 o'clock tea using pictures of a tea cup, sugar, milk , scones and jam to help the kids to imagine a Tea party.

They learnt the basic vocabulary (cup of tea, sugar, milk , scones and jam) and the expressions "Pass me the..., please" "Thank you"

In groups they had to pretend they were having a tea party and they had to ask for the food and drink they wanted, for example "Pass me the tea , please" Thank you.

Na passada terça -feira, como era o dia da alimentação, na aula com o 1º ano tivemos um chá das cinco, um chá das cinco imaginário usando apenas imagens de chávenas de chá, açúcar, scones, geleia/doce para ajudar as crianças a imaginar a tea party.

Eles aprenderam o vocabulário básico e expressões "Pass me the..., please" "Thank you"

Em grupos fingiram que estavam numa festa de chá e tinham de pedir a comida e bebida que queriam, por exemplo  "Pass me the tea , please" Thank you.

Tic Tac Toe with school materials - 1ºA and 1ºB

Hello!

As 1st graders are learning about school spaces and school materials last lesson besides singing the song "Who's got the rubber?" we've also played two games:

1) two volunteers had to cover their eyes as the teacher was giving school materials cards to some of the other students.The students with the cards couldn't show their card. Then the volunteers uncovered  their eyes and asked their colleagues  for example "Have you got the rubber?" in order to find out where were the cards.


2) Tic tac toe with school materials:
In a first phase (girls VS boys) each group had to say a school material to have one point

In a second phase they had to say "I have ..." and complete the sentence with one school material, for example "I have a pencil".

We're a happy family song - 2ºA

Hello!
2nd graders are learning about the family, so last lesson that learnt a new song called "we're a happy family" ( Happy hearts book) that is also about the house rooms so I could articulate both themes.

We are happy hearts you see
We're a happy family
Welcome to our house

Mummy's in the living room
Daddy's in the bedroom
Molly's in the kitchen
Billy's in the bathroom

Afterwards we had a drawing dictation:

Daddy is in the bathroom, brother is in the bedroom, mummy is in the kitchen, sister is in the living room.

Finally they 've drawn their family.

Role play "Phone call . Going out to dinner"

Hello!
As 3rd graders are learning about directions, places in town and itineraries, today 3ºB role played a phone call between two people that wanted to go out to have dinner.

Como os 3ª anos estão a aprender as direcções, espaços na cidade e itinerários , hoje o 3ºB fez uma pequena representação de uma chamada telefónica em que duas pessoas queriam ir jantar fora.

Hello!
Remember the song that 1st graders learnt in the first lesson? Here they are singing it.

Lembram-se da canção que os 1º anos aprenderam na 1ª aula? Aqui estão eles a cantá-la.

ps; normalmente não mostro linguagem escrita aos 1º e 2º anos, apenas escrevi o titulo da canção para filmar apenas .
