Today we were rehearsing Goldilocks. Most of the actresses and actors know their lines already and they did a GREAT JOB.

We were also practicing numbersfrom 1 hundred to 9 hundred. And the words: after, then and next. Students had to link numbers on the board: they had to find the next number and connect it with the one before. That´s what the Olympic Games were about. Students had to write the numbers they were told. This group is great for numbers. Check the scores:

Player 1    9
Player 2  10
Player 3  10
Player 4  10
Player 5    9
Player 6  10

We continued studying daily actions.  We did a couple of exercises from the book. Students had to get together and ask each other 6 questions the teacher had written on the board. They had to write down their partner´s reply.
In the second exercise they had to connect some verbs with the right nouns to make sense. Enjoy your weekend and don´t forget to keep reahearsing for our play.

Here is the script for Mario and Sara. Sara: you have to learn the yellow lines. Mario: learn the green lines.

Once upon a time there was a Little girl. Her name was Goldilocks, she had Golden hair.

One day Goldilocks was walking in the forest. She saw a house.
Oh, what a sweet little house ¡
She knocked on the door.
Who is there?
Nobody was there.

Goldilocks saw 3 bowls on the table. She was hungry.
I´m hungry ¡ What´s this?

Then the bears went upstairs to the bedroom.

Goldilocks woke up and saw the 3 bears.

She run downstairs and into the forest and never came back again.

In our last lesson we were asking questions in the Present Simple. We asked about things we do every day. We also learned how to give short answers.

Do you wash your hair every day? Yes, I do. or No, I don´t
or
Does your friend read books every day? Yes, he does, or No, he doesn´t.
Does your mother cook dinner every day? Yes, she does, or No, she doesn´t.


Students worked with a partner and had to write 6 questions for 2 other classmates. They all did a very good job¡

We were asking questions in the Present Simple: What time do you start school? What time does your mother get up? Do you have a shower or a bath? What do you study in Spanish?

We were rehearsing for the play Goldilocks. 

Olympic Games scores:
Player 1    10
Player 2      5
Player 3    10
Player 4      9
Player 5      6
Player 6      4
Remember, when we talk about what we do we always say I. If we don´t say I nobody understand what we are saying.

We started the lesson saying when is our birthday and then each student said when is the birthday of somebody in their family.
Students asked each other: what time do you get up? and they answer the question.

They also ask each other: what time do you get up? And they answered: I get up at ... ( Ex:A quarter to 8).
We continue with the school subjects unit. Today students practiced things they study in each one of the subjects: the teacher made 2 columns on the board. On the left there was a list of subjects. On the right there was a list a things children study. Students had to ask each other questions like:
Do you study mountains in sciences?  The other student had to answer: No, I don´t, I study mountains in geography or in social science.

For the Olympic Games students had to write as many subjects as they could remember with something they studied in that subject.

Here are the scores:

Player 1    6
Player 2    6.5
Player 3    6.5
Player 4    6.5
Player 5    6
Player 6    6
Player 7    6

Homework Sorry for the delay!
Ask each member of your family: What time do you get up, Mom? What time do you get up, Dad? What time you get up, little brother?
