The whole group participate to make the story up. We follow some steps: 

• Main characters
• Where the story takes place
• Other characters
• What happens 
• The end.

The pupils of group A of 2nd level made up a story about monsters. I recorded them telling the story.

In the next session they painted some monsters and the teacher chose the best ones. 
After that, they have to draw the other scenes to make a video or a presentation.

Glogster: Fascinating interactive posters

The students are doing a Glog, in other words, an interactive personalized poster on the web. 

We can do one on www.glogster.com. 

 Choose the type of poster, add some photos from a pen drive or from Google, a video from Youtube, and other images and texts.

The more attractive and colourful, the better!

Have you ever been to London?

 As the second and third cycle students are working on the project "Let's go travelling", the first cycle students are doing something related to London as well. 

I am showing them some photos of me in London last February. Then, they can learn some cultural aspects such as important monuments and places, typical food and other interesting things.

 


After that, the students use Google Images to look for photos of Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, a red bus, a black taxi, the Queen Guards and a telephone box.

Using a mouse

The very young learners need some practice to use the mouse and move the cursor well. That is why they did a colouring activity on www.boowakwala.com

As it is autunm, they painted some mushrooms by selecting a colour and moving the cursor from the paints to the picture.                               

                             

          

Let's go travelling!

We are travelling abroad at Christmas time, so the students have to prepare for the trip!

Online activities to practise English

This week we are doing online activities to practise our listening and reading skills, grammar and review some vocabulary.

We have a great variaty of activities on Oxford- Surprise! and Angles365.

There are a lot of useful websites to learn English and have fun at the same time. Keep on working!

What can we do on Google?

We can use GOOGLE to search for information, websites, videos, music and images. Furthermore, it has some other tools that may be useful such as: Maps; Play to find games, books and films; News from all over the world, Youtube with lots of videos, Calendar to have our planning, Translator and Blogger. The latter is an application to create blogs! I used it to create this blog and "English is fun!!".

The students suffered on the blog to read the information, look at the photos, watch the videos, go to the links and do activities and so on.

  They liked it so much!

Talking about Halloween

After having done projects and Powerpoint presentations, the students talked about Halloween.

Halloween Projects

The third cycle boys and girls had to do a project about Halloween. They were expected to searched for information on the Internet about the festivity, some ideas to celebrate it, examples of costumes and a Halloween rhyme or song. Then, they had to explain it orally to the other classmates.

As soon as possible, you will be able to watch a video of a boy explaining his project!

Powerpoint presentations about Halloween vocabulary

The primary students did a Powerpoint presentation with Halloween words and pictures!
The second cycle pupils did it individually, however, for the younger children it was a whole group activity with the teacher's help. They chose the pictures, said the sentences and chose the colour for the text. Now you can see their presentations:
