Origami T-SHIRT and mini clothes book

Hello!
Have I ever told you how great  my students are? Well, one of these days , some weeks ago, I decided to start the theme clothes in one of my classes with an origami of a T-shirt. After teaching students how to fold the paper into a T-shirt I taught them a song and some new vocabulary, It was then that they had a GREAT idea: why not use the origami to make a book about clothes, with the new vocabulary and the new song? What a GREAT idea!!!

Já vos disse o quão fantásticos são os meus alunos? Bem, um destes dias, há umas semanas, decidi iniciar o tema vestuário ensinando a fazer um origami de T-shirt . Depois de os ensinar a fazer o origami, ensinei uma canção e novo vocabulário. Foi então que eles tiveram uma ideia FANTÁSTICA: fazer um mini livro sobre vestuário a partir do origami de T-shirt , com o vocabulário e canção novos. Que ideia FANTÁSTICA!!!

"What's the weather like today?" -1ºB

Hello!

Yesterday was a very special day for 1ºB , they've won tickets to go to the Lisbon zoo :) Hoooray!!

In my opinion they've won the competition  specially because they are wonderful kids, they have an amazing TIC teacher: Cristina, and they have very special and motivated parents :) Congratulations 1ºB, Cristina and 1ºB parents!

Let's move on so I can tell you about the english lesson :)

Yesterday we started a new theme: weather . First we played a guess game  with weather drawings on the board, then they learned different answers to the question "What is the weather like?" (It's sunny, It's cloudy, It's rainy, It's snowy, It's windy). We played kim's board game in which they had to close their eyes while the teacher erased one of the weather symbols/drawings on the board, then they had to open their eyes and say which picture was missing.The game continued until there were no pictures on the board and students had to remember the five  kinds of weather.

It's snowy  
       
It's cloudy

It's sunny


It's windy



It's rainy


Finally students learned a new song "What's the weather like today?" 

What's the weather like today?
It's rainy, it's rainy
What's the weather like today?
It's rainy today


What's the weather like today?
It's snowy, it's snowy
What's the weather like today?
It's snowy today


What's the weather like today?
It's sunny, it's sunny
What's the weather like today?
It's sunny today


What's the weather like today?
It's windy, it's windy
What's the weather like today?
It's windy today

"Froggy gets dressed" - 4ºC

Hello!

After telling this lovely story to 4ºC we've practised the vocabulary related to clothes and weather with some games: "Dress froggy" board game,which I created and "Dress your classmate" which was a group game in which two members should tell, according to a weather card, what their classmate should wear and the other two members should dress up that classmate.

Depois de contar esta história maravilhosa ao 4ºC ,estes praticaram o vocabulário relacionado com o vestuário e o tempo através de alguns jogos: jogo de tabuleiro que eu criei e dei o título de "dress froggy" e o jogo "dress your classmate" que era um jogo de grupo em que dois membros, a partir de um cartão com determinado tempo meteorológico, dizem a outros dois o que o seu colega deve vestir.

"Put the umbrella up..." song - 4ºC

Hello!
Here's the song that we've listened to  this morning

Practise the song at home.Pratiquem a canção:)

São Martinho, Guy Fawkes e Outono

       O São Martinho está a chegar e apesar de não ser uma festividade comemorada no Reino Unido, há outros assuntos relacionados que podemos abordar, um deles é o "Autumn".
Ensinei o 1º ano a cantar "The leaves on the trees"  o que ajudou a relembrar algumas cores e foi ponto de partida para novo vocabulário: tree, leaves, fall down, autumn  e para dois trabalhos manuais, uma árvore desenhada a partir do contorno das mãos dos alunos e um ouriço com cartolina e espuma Eva.
Ficam aqui alguns trabalhos do 1ºB:

Fica aqui a canção cantada pelo 1ºC

E a canção do 1ºB

    Ainda relacionado com o São Martinho, podemos abordar o dia de Guy Fawkes(5 de Novembro) que é comemorado com a queima de um modelo de Guy Fawkes nas fogueiras. As fogueiras também se podem relacionar com o São Martinho.Quando eu era da idade dos meus alunos na escola acendíamos fogueiras para ver quem conseguia saltar e também pintávamos a cara com a cinza da fogueira.=)
