Good afternoon! First of it all, happy Peace Day!. I hope you enjoyed the celebrations at school and that the exercise we did in class made you think a little. I want to put the text, the questions and the pictures here, and I want you to show it to your family: it is a very important message!. This is your room. You share it with your brother or sister. Maybe you fight, but you make peace because your bond is bigger than you. Your room is smaller than your house. This is your house. You share it with your family. Maybe you fight, but you make peace because your love is bigger than you. Your house is larger than your room, but smaller than your street. This is your street. Many of your friends live here. Sometimes you fight wit your friends, but you get along and make peace because friendship is important. Your street is larger than your house, but smaller than your region. This is Andalusia. You share it with other Andalusians, most people yo...

Good afternoon! I wanted to ask you if you liked today's class and the work we did with the computers. I know it is hard to record yourself. I also know that listening to your own voice is strange, but you did well today :). Thanks specially to Alba's team, for helping keeping the silence we need to record.

Good afternoon! Here are the lyrics for the song we worked on today!. Your contributions to the lyrics are not there yet, but I will upload them as soon as possible!. Oh, extra points to the first team to comment and tell me what city is the last picture from!!! City lights, country life. Wake up, rise with the sun there is lots of work to do!. Get dressed, have a nice breakfast and out on the field we go!. (Chorus) City lights, country life they are so different but that's allright. City lights, country life they are so different, help me find out why. Wake up, says the alarm clock there is lots and lots to do! Get dressed, have a quick breakfast before the roads are jammed!. (Chorus) City lights, country life they are so different but that's allright. City lights, country life they are so different, help me find out why. Do you know I am from a big city?. What do you think about the alarm clock and traffic jams? Have a nice wee...

Good afternoon! I see you are very interested in the things we did today, so I think we can do a bit more of work on that. I am very interested in what some of you said about the rest of the world being boring. I want you to think about your vacations and the world and answer these questions: My favourite vacation spot is _____ because _____ I want/don't want to see the world outside the town because _____ I like/dislike country life because _____ Next, ask your family about the next questions and write three sentences about each of them. Remember, if you use the frequency words we studied your team will get extra points! Find someone that works on agriculture and write 3 sentences about him/her. Find someone (an elder sibling, a relative...) that moved out to the capital. Write three sentences about him/her. Find someone that doesn't work on agriculture and stayed here. Write three sentences about him/her. I really want to hear your stories about th...

Good afternoon! We did a good job today writing information for our podcast. What do you think we make it even more personal?. Here is a list of things about your family that you could include when you record it: My family has lived here since ... My family lives on ... When I grow up we want to ... What i most like about here ... What I would like to be different about here ... Also, I thought it would be a good idea if you wanted to invite a relative (someone from your family ) to record the podcast in class. Think about it and tell me during the next lessons. Go ahead and ask your family about the first points and talk to them about the rest. I am sure there is a lot of interesting history!

Good afternoon! I forgot to upload the correction for the listening we did!! Hi! My name is Nicholas and I live in London!. My [People] parents and I are visiting Cornwall and we like it!. We bring my friend Thomas from London. His family lived here but [Verb] moved when he was little. We stay at a little house by the [Place] beach . Well, it is in the top of a cliff really. To go to the beach, we climb down the cliff until we get to the [Something] sand . It is nice there, with the wind and the [Something] waves . This is the first time I have seen the [Place] sea . At first I was scared, but then saw it was really cool!. Before we return to London I [Verb] want to go see the fields and the Eden Project. We don't have that much plants and green in London. What do you think of the cliffs in Cornwall? Did you know that waves on Cornwall can be taller tha...

Good afternoon! Here is the text we read today. I know it is a bit harder than the ones we usually do, but you did ok!. Don't forget to study the new words and review the questions !. Cornwall is in the Southwest of England. It is a beautiful place but there is more to it than beauty!. There are towns and villages that are very old and they usually speak English but they have their own language that is taught at schools!. Cornwall has large cities, but part of its population live in small towns in the countryside or by the sea. The people of Cornwall live on fishing, agriculture and mining. Many people living in big cities of England see that Cornwall has large beaches and green countryside and spend their vacations there. There is a lot of tourism in Cornwall and it is bringing people from all over the country. In addition, Cornwall has a very mild climate. It is the warmest part of the country and that means a lot in England!. The central part of Cornwall can reach alm...

Good afternoon! Here is a picture of the words we studied and reviewed in class today!. Remember to study them, so you can use them during this unit.

Good afternoon! Again, happy new year and welcome to the second term!. I hope everything goes as well as it did on the first and we can learn a lot. Anyway, here is the text we listened to today and the pictures we saw. As always, you can find the questions and answers we did in class too! It's Saturday!. Isobel regularly wakes up early in the weekend. Every school day her mom and dad drive the van to school. Weekends are different. Usually, the first thing Isobel does is to wake up her sister Anna. Isobel and Anna live in a small cottage in Cornwall. 10 miles from the nearest town. Together they feed their six dogs and join their parents for breakfast. Before playtime Isobel and Anna usually water the flowers with a watering can. Playtime!. Isobel and Anna want to have a picnic today, so they cross the fields and pick up blackberries. The family usually have picnics in the beach, but sometimes the wind is just too strong. Anyway, the day h...
