Good afternoon! These are the changed lyrics for the song we did today. I will upload the song later so you can listen to it and remember the new words. Can you count how many vehicles are there in total?. The train leaves the station. There is a plane leaving the airport, There are nine buses taking people to work. These are all things happening in my town before eight o'clock. There is a big boat under the bridge, There are many cars in front of school. These are all things happening in my town before nine o'clock. (Chorus) Every day I arrive at the station. I always hurry to platform eight. I get on the train, sit next to my friends. The train starts and leaves the station behind. There are no planes leaving the airport, There are nine buses taking people home. These are all things happening in my town before five o'clock. There is a big boat down by the river. Children ride their bikes in the park. These are all things happening...

Good afternoon! I have been reviewing your work and I want to congratulate you. First, the email we sent is fabulous: Hi!. We are happy to write again. This week we are studying means of transportation. We'd like to know how do you go to school. Most of us can walk because school is near, but the teacher tells us that this is not the same in every country. Also, we are making a very cool tabletop game. It is about means of transportation, but also about detectives and two people can play. We will send you pictures when it is done. Are you making anything cool in class?. Let us know. Read you soon! Second, one of the rules you wrote is also very good: If you make a question that cannot be answered by yes/no, you lose two turns. Keep up the good work!

Good afternoon again! Remember the rules we were reading in class?. Here they are again so you can take a closer look. If there is any word you don't understand, look for it in your notebook or in a dictionary. Preparing the game: Shuffle all decks and prepare a timetable with 10 lines (a vehicle, destination, hour and minute). Put all person cards face up. Get the dice out. Place the cut outs on maps, in any reserved place you want. Each person secretly writes a person, timetable line and number between 1 and 6 on their task card. Playing the game: The game is played in turns. The game is played asking yes/no questions. In your turn you can ask a single question or roll the dice and do what it says. First you must guess the person asking about their clothes, hair and so. Next you must guess the timetable line asking about vehicles, times and destinations. Finally you must guess from where the vehicle departs asking for clues in the map! Read t...

For example, model train fans make very complicated circuits, with mountains, tunnels, lights and trees. There are even make little stations, with train platforms and passengers. When train fans meet they share their models. But there is more. There are plane fans that meet on the weekends to fly their planes. They do acrobatics and take pictures of their planes standing next to others on the ground. It is much cheaper than flying in real planes and often more eco-friendly!. There are boat fans to...
