Tuesday, 7th April 2020

Dear fifth graders,

Today we start to study the QUESTION WORDS. 
Question words are words we use to make questions, as simple as that! You already (=ya) know some:

What: WHAT is your name?
Where: WHERE do you live?
How: HOW old are you?
When: WHEN is your birthday?

First we study the information. You can read or watch videos:


Some of them are easy, others are more difficult.










Monday, 6th April 2020

Dear fifth graders,

Good morning ladies and gentlemen, how are you?

Today we are going to finish the classroom proposals from 'The Big Apple'.

The office: finished.

Science: Biology & Art :
Draw the life cycle of a bean plant. Plant a bean. Follow the instructions.
Some of you have already done (= algun@s ya habéis hecho) this proposal. If (= si) not, then draw it in your notebook or on a paper. 
Study new words: seed, give water, begin, grow, root, leaves.

Most of you (= la mayoría de vosotr@s) have already planted a seed. Maybe (= a lo mejor) they are there when we come back. If not, we will plant (= plantearemos) some new seeds next course!

Maths: we leave (= dejamos) this proposal for the moment, because (= porque) we cannot play the game.

The Library: you can always (= siempre) read a book. 

Art & Culture: we can't do this proposal on line.

That is it for today. Check if you did everything. Tomorrow we start with a new proposal.
Have a nice day!

Maurice




Friday, 3rd April 2020

Dear fifth graders,

Here are some videos so you can practise the verbs in the past (listen, look and repeat). 






Have a nice weekend!

Maurice


Wednesday, 1st April 2020

Dear fifth graders,

This is a word search by Iván M. 5A.
Thank you, Iván!


Tuesday, 31st March 2020

Dear fifth graders,

Today we start with the proposals from the English classroom 'The Big Apple'.

The office

1. Your daily routines in the Simple Past Tense.
Example: I often get up at seven o'clock, but yesterday I didn't get up at
seven, I got up at ten o'clock.
Now write ten more sentences using the 'daily routines' verbs.
Here you have some extra examples:
Daily routines: wake up – get up – get out of bed – go to the toilet – have breakfast – eat some toast – drink a glass of milk/a cup of tea – say 'good morning' to my mum/dad/brother/sister – brush my teeth – have a shower – comb my hair – dress myself – put on my shoes - make my bed - pack my schoolbag – watch TV – play games – walk the dog – feed my pet – go to school – meet my friends – play football – say 'hello' to the teachers – study – do proposals – play in the playground – practise sports – have lunch – do an after school activity – play in the park – help at home – chat on the computer – text my friends - go shopping – go to the supermarket – do my homework – listen to music – do nothing - have dinner – read – take off my clothes – put on my pyjama – say 'goodnight' – set my alarm clock – turn off the light – go to sleep – have sweet dreams. 

2. Possessive adjectives: copy & translate.
And two proposals for these rainy (= lluviosos) days:

1. Watch the video:

The evolution of dance.

https://youtu.be/p-rSdt0aFuw?t=1

2. Read and listen to this book.
It is very good to practise the verbs in the past.


Enjoy!


Quique (5A) at work at home.

And the results: USA map and the poem.


Thank you, Quique!



Friday, 27th March

Dear families,
(below in Spanish = abajo en castellano)

Good Friday morning and I hope that everybody is still going strong!
As there might be some confusion about what your son or daughter can do for English, I will try to explain it again.
¡Buenos días viernes por la mañana y espero que todos seguís con buena salud!
Come puede haber algo de confusión sobre lo que puede hacer su hijo o hija en inglés, intentaré explicarlo de nuevo. (hay otra explicación más abajo).
1. There are three tutor class proposals (poem, word search and simple past tense). When we are at school, they rotate during three weeks from class to class. That is why not everybody has done the same proposals yet.
Hay 3 propuestas para la tutoría (poema, sopa de letras y el pasado simple). Cuando estamos en el cole, rotan durante 3 semanas de tutoría en tutoría. Por eso no todos han hecho las mismas propuestas todavía.
2. Then we have the English classroom proposals, the ones they can do in 'The Big Apple'. Below you can find a copy. I explained them on 18th February 2020. Once explained, they can start with any proposal they want to. For that same reason, not everybody has done the same proposals yet.
Luego tenemos las propuestas para el ambiente de inglés, las que se pueden hacer en 'La Gran Manzana'. Más abajo pueden encontrar una copia. Las expliqué el 18 de febrero 2020. Una vez explicadas, ellos pueden empezar con la propuesta que quieren. Por esta misma razón, no todos han hecho las mismas propuestas todavía.
3. There are some special proposals for these weeks we are not at school (radio, fish tank). 
Hay algunas propuestas especiales para estas semana que no estamos en el cole (radio, pecera).
4. At school we have lots of more proposals, games and activities difficult to do online.
En el cole tenemos muchas propuestas, juegos y actividades más difíciles para poner en la red.
5. There is absolutely no problem in doing other proposals you can find from other years, other courses or you find yourselves online. The goal is to learn English anyway!
No hay problema alguna en hacer propuestas que pueden encontrar de otros años, otros cursos o que encuentran Ustedes mismos en internet. ¡El objetivo es aprender  inglés de todas formas!
6. Not all proposals are digitized and that takes me some time. Besides, I have to confess that I am a 'slow' person, especially these days of mindfulness ;))
No todas las propuestas están digitalizadas y tardo un poco en eso. Además, tengo que confesar que soy una persona 'lenta', especialmente estos días de plena conciencia ;))
7. One very important item to learn a language is to understand the instructions in that language, the words in a context. I tell the students and they know. So maybe the biggest proposal of all is to read carefully everything I write. That is why I don't translate when I write to them.
Un ítem muy importante para aprender un idioma es entender las instrucciones en esa lengua, las palabras en un contexto. Se lo digo a los estudiantes y lo saben. Así que tal vez la propuesta más grande de todas es leer cuidadosamente todo lo que escribo. Por eso no traduzco cuando les escribo. 
8. And last but not least, ask me please if you have any problem or doubt, but ask your daughter or son first, because they can explain you a lot!
Y por último pero no menos importante, por favor preguntenme si tienen algún problema o duda, pero pregunten primero a su hija o hijo, porque ¡ellos saben explicarles mucho!
9. Thank you for reading this and have a nice weekend!
Gracias por leerlo y ¡que tengan un buen fin de semana!

PS: I forgot! Until now I only explained the three classroom proposals (poem, word search and Simple Past Tense). Next week we start with the other proposals.
PD: ¡Se me ha olvidado! Hasta ahora solo he explicado las propuestas de las tutorías (poema, sopa de letras y el pasado simple). La semana que viene empezamos con las otras propuestas. 

Maurice



Good evening fifth graders,

Today is Thursday 26th March and I hope you are doing fine.
Did you watch the short video and understand what I said? We finished the Poem proposal and now I give you two new ones: 

1. Make your own word search.
Choose a topic (= tema).
Give me permission to share (=compartir) it on our blog.

Word search to study the names of the buildings:

Following (=siguiendo) the link (=enlace) you can do a lot of (=muchos) word search puzzles. Go to the category KIDS.  Word search KIDS

You can also (=también) make your own word search.



2. What did you do yesterday?

This proposal gives some more practise about the
Simple Past Tense. Here is some help (= ayuda):

walk means (= significa) caminar
stay means quedarse 
draw means dibujar
ride means montar

clean means limpiar

buy means comprar
put on means ponerse

Simple Present Tense
Simple Past Tense
to get up got up
to have had
to do did
to study studied
to see saw
to be was

Remember
always study and learn new words!

You can copy this information in your notebook and study it. Then (=luego) do the worksheet.
I also give you the scheme (=esquema) to write down the new verbs you learn.

Good luck!







Audio poem 'I saw my teacher on a Saturday'.





Dear families,

First of all I hope that you are all fine and in good health.

Here I am going to give you an answer to the question:

What can my child do for English these days?

There are three kinds of proposals:

1. proposals to do in their tutor class 
    (1 proposal every week)
2. proposals to do in 'The Big Apple', the English class
    (6 for this term)
3. extra proposals for these days at home.

The first two are compulsory, the third one is optional.

ad.1. the poem, a wordsearch, simple past practice
ad.2. 
ad. 3. Listen to the radio (for today).

Now, as not everybody has done the same proposals and I don't want to overwhelm you or them, I will explain them one by one.

If you have any questions, please contact me through this blog or my email.

Keep going strong,

Regards,

                                          Maurice

2. propuestas para hacer en 'La Gran Manzana', la clase de inglés
    (6 para este trimestre)

Mantened buena salud,

Saludos,
