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".

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.

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.

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 .

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 :)
