bats and vampires in coffins - 4ºA

Hello!
For Halloween the 4th grade decorated the classroom with bats and coffins with vampires.
The materials needed are very simple and not expensive,
for the bats :
black cardboard, crayons a piece of white paper(to make a speech bubble)

for the coffins and vampires:
a box of matches
EVA foam
white paper or cardboard ( to draw the vampire)
crayons

 

 

We've also had a skeleton hunt ( a mix of scavenger hunt and peddy paper) and besides me and the students, the  teachers Fátima, Rosalina and Marco and  our friend Gisela helped in this skeleton hunt.

 



 

1st grade halloween -

 

Last Tuesday the 1st grade students sang the song "Go away big green monster" and played a game in which one of them had to hide behind a witch poster and repeat some Halloween rhymes as

 

The witch turned the bat into a green cat

The wizard turned a ghost into a piece of toast

The warlock turned the dog into a big fat frog

 

The rest of the class had to draw what they were hearing

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

Afterwards we made some cute halloween bookmarks:

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".

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.
