Jobs. What Does your Mother Do?

Friday 30^th January, 2015

Hello kids! How is your week going?

Last week we had a new classmate. His name is Luis. Welcome Luis. Nice to meet you!

David brought a big picture of Little Flame and told us what they did last weekend. This week, our dragon is with Lucía. Let’s see what she will tell us tomorrow.

In class, we played ‘Hot Potato’

We say: ‘I do’ and throw the ball. The kid who gets the ball says ’he does’ and a new activity with I. For example ‘I swim’ and throws the ball again. And so on…

We also played this game with jobs and places of work. Doctor / hospital teacher/ school housewife / home etc.

Then, we spoke about jobs.

·         My father cuts hair. He’s a barber.

·         My mother flies planes. She’s a pilot.

·         My aunt brings the mail. She’s a mail    carrier.

·         My uncle serves food. He’s a waiter.

And we listened and revised what Simon does.

·         Simon never plays in the park on Mondays.

·         Simon always does his homework on Mondays.

·         Simon always plays in the park on Sundays.

We played a cards game that consisted in making sentences putting the words in order.

And we watched a video about ‘Design for Change’

Raúl suggested making changes in our classroom. Another kid suggested having individual pencil cases for every student. We’ll talk about more of these things tomorrow, OK?

Homework: write what Simon does during the week. Photocopy p.30 Exercise 10.

What Do your Parents Do?

Friday 23^rd January

Hello kids! How’s your weekend?

Last Friday, Sara told us a story about Little Flame and the animals.

And she told us about her week with Little Flame.

Little Flame met Valerit, at last. They are very good friends

and …they are in love!

Then, we played ‘Hot potato’. You can pronounce even the difficult forms of the verbs…well, sometimes. Do you remember how to pronounce these… does, goes, dances?

After that, we talked about what your parents jobs.

·         What does your mother do? She is a doctor.

·         What does your father do? He is a magician.

·         What does your mother do? She is a hairdresser.

·         What does your father do? He is an IT Technician.

And we continued talking about your parents:

·         My mother is a doctor. She works in a hospital. She sometimes works at night.

·         My father is a teacher. He works in a school. He never works on Saturday.

This is your homework. Write about five people and say where they work: in a hospital, in the street, in a school, in a shop etc.

This week Little Flame is with David. He has to write about prepositions. Something like this:

This is my bedroom. Little Flame is next to the wardrobe.

Next week we are going to talk about a project. Watch the videos and we will talk about them next Friday.

Present with the Simpsons

We started taking Little Flame to our house. First, he visited Sara. He is going to meet Valerit. I hope they become friends. This term we are going to show Little Flame our world. First, Sara is going to teach them about animals. She can go to the zoo and tell him the animals that live there. The animals that live in the forest or in the jungle and also pets.

For example:

I go to the zoo with my family and Little Flame on Saturday. In the zoo, we see lions, tigers, giraffes and monkeys. I like giraffes because they are very tall. Little Flame plays with the monkeys.

On Sunday I go to the forest. We see squirrels and birds. The birds sing very well. Little Flame flies with the birds.
