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're a happy family
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

Here they are singing it

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.
Here's the result (not bad right?)

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.
Aqui está o resultado( não está nada mal pois não?)

recycled portfolios

Here it is the result

Hello ! What's your name? - 1ºB version

Hello!
Remember the song that 1st graders learnt in the first lesson? Here they are singing it.
ps: Normally I don't show them any written language , I only wrote the title of the song for the film purpose.

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 .

(adaptação da canção "Hello!what's your name" CD Zap!A Vanessa Reilly)

Felix the robot and his friends - 4ºA

Hello!
Here we have the Felix's friends. Aren't they amazing? There is going to be a competition for the best(most creative)  robot.You'll see the result next week.:)

Felix the robot needs a friend

Hello!
Yesterday I introduced Felix the robot to 4º A, but they were told that this nice robot needs a friend , so they were challenged to create that friend by playing a drawing game: as they spin a pencil on a spinner the number they get is related to one part of the body they must draw..

(in Timesaver games, Mary Glasgow magazines)

Ontem apresentei o Felix o robot ao 4º ano , mas foi-lhes dito que este simpático robot precisa de um amigo e então foram desafiados a criar um amigo para ele, através de um jogo de desenho: devem fazer rodar um lápis numa roda com números, o número que lhes calhar está relacionado com uma parte do corpo que devem desenhar.

Os alunos ainda não terminaram, mas assim que a sua obra de arte esteja pronta serão apresentados os resultados.

The British - 4ºA

Today, as it was a rainy day  the students learned a british idiom"It's raining cats and dogs" which means "it's raining a lot"

 Afterwards I showed them a power point about the British, some traditions and important monuments and places. Then we played a game : I wrote four answers on the board:
a) Big Ben
b)prince William
c) Buckingham palace and Windsor castle
d) Tea

I divided the class in groups and I gave some pieces of paper with one word or two in each piece of paper and asked students to put them in order so they could find a sentence/question.After I checked the accuracy students had to find the correct answers for their question on the board.
Here they are with the questions

 

 

 

Hoje, como está um dia chuvoso os alunos aprenderam uma expressão britânica "It's raining cats and dogs" que significa que está a chover muito.

Depois a teacher mostrou um power point sobre os Britânicos , algumas tradições, monumentos e lugares importantes. Em seguida jogamos um jogo:

Escrevi no quadro quatro respostas:

a) Big Ben
b)prince William
c) Buckingham palace and Windsor castle
d) Tea

 

Dividi a turma em grupos e dei-lhes pedaços de papel com uma ou duas palavras em cada pedaço de paper e pedi-lhes que ordenassem as palavras de forma a construirem uma pergunta.Depois de eu verificar se as frases/questões estavam bem construidas , os alunos tiveram de encontrar no quadro a resposta correcta para a sua pergunta.

 

 

See you soon

British culture 3ºA

Today one of the things that I asked 3ºA to do was to colour the Union Jack(United Kigdom flag) and to draw the first things they remember when they think about the United Kingdom ( England, Scothland, Wales and Nothern Ireland). Some students confuse England and United Kingdom and United Kingdom and America but that was one of the reasons of this task, to get rid of this kind of confusions.

Afterwards they really surprised me and some of the drawings were of  Big Ben, Stonehenge, olympic games, the Queen, Scottish man,etc... and there was even a student that draw  a big pool in the shape of a cup of tea :)

Hello! What's your name? 1st grade

Hello!

On the first English lesson the first graders met a special friend, Pinocchio

Pinocchio introduced himself and helped the little ones to introduce themselves

 - Hello! I'm Pinocchio.What's your name? Nice to meet you!

Pinocchio is also a good singer and taught the first graders the song "Hello, what's your name?"

Afterwards students draw something they like and the teacher wrote their names next to their favourite thing, that will be their name tag



Na primeira aula de inglês os alunos do 1º ano conheceram um amigo especial , o Pinóquio
Este apresentou-se e ajudou os pequeninos a apresentarem-se

O Pinóquio também é um bom cantor e ensinou ao alunos do 1º ano a canção "Hello, what's your name?"

Depois os alunos desenharam algo que cada um gostasse muito e a teacher escreveu os seus nomes ao lado do desenho. Esta vai ser o seu crachá

portfolios

Hello!<br />
Today I want your opinion on portfolios, what do you think about them? Are they useful in the language lessons? What items should be included in a portfolio?

Hoje gostaria de ter a vossa opinião acerca dos portfolios.Têm utilidade nas aulas de língua? Que itens deviam ser incluídos nos mesmos? Terminei há pouco tempo dois portfolios diferentes e gostaria de saber a opinião quer de colegas professores quer de pais/familiares de alunos.
Thank you
