ENGLISH ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 2020

Good morning everyone!

We hope you are all well on this Wednesday, March 25, 2020.

Instead of offering new material today, we just wanted to remind you of the resources that you should already be using to practice English.  Here is a list of the things you should be working on:

  1. English workbooks (1 page / day)
  2. Liveworksheets (do any unfinished worksheets and check back daily, or every two day for new worksheets or renewed worksheets.) Any grade below a 7 is renewed.
  3. VERY IMPORTANT: Please take a moment this week to write down your questions and doubts about your work to date so that we can answer them via video classes next week! Please, write them down as you are likely to forget them by the time we have class!
  4. The activities and videos on the blog. You can also do those activities for the class ahead of you or one year below you.
  5. And of course, we know many of you are getting extra “screen-time” these days, whether it is on a computer or a television. How about challenging yourself by watching your favorite show in English?  On your TVs and computers you can probably can use either Spanish or English subtitles.  We suggest watching a show or film that you are already familiar with in English. That will help you focus on listening to the language for the story, instead of worrying that you will miss something!
  6. And, of course, please keep writing to us at our English department email and keep commenting on the blog!

Stay safe and be well!

Manolo and Lindley

¡Buenos días a todos!

Esperamos que estáis bien este miércoles 25 de marzo de 2020.

En lugar de ofrecer material nuevo hoy, solo queremos recordaros de los recursos que ya deberíais estar usando para practicar inglés. Aquí hay una lista de las cosas que hay que estar trabajando:

  1. Cuadernillos de inglés (1 página / día)
  2. Hojas de trabajo liveworksheets (haz las hojas de trabajo sin terminar y vuelva a consultar diariamente, o cada dos días para ver las fichas nuevas o renovadas). Cualquier nota por debajo de un 7 se renueva.
  3. MUY IMPORTANTE: ¡Toma un momento esta semana para escribir vuestras preguntas y dudas sobre vuestro trabajo hasta la fecha para que podamos responderlas a través de clases de video la semana que viene! ¡Por favor, escríbalos ya que es probable que los olvidáis para cuando tengamos clase!
  4. Las actividades y videos en el blog. También podías hacer las actividades del curso un año por debajo o por adelante.
  5. Y, por supuesto, sabemos que muchos de vosotros tenéis mas «tiempo de pantalla» que nunca estos días, ya sea en un ordenador o en la tele. ¿Qué te parece desafiarte viendo tu programa favorito en inglés? En la tele, tanto como en ordenado, podáis poner subtítulos en español o inglés. Os proponemos ver un programa o película con el que ya estés familiarizado en inglés. ¡Eso te ayudará a concentrarte en escuchar el idioma, en lugar de preocuparte de que te pierdas algo!
  6. Y, por supuesto, ¡escríbanos a nuestro correo electrónico del departamento de inglés y siga comentando en el blog!

¡Esperamos que estáis todos sanos y felices!

Manolo y Lindley

When you want/wants to do something that’s new

If you want/wants to catch a ball
But you’re having no luck at all
The ball hit/hits your head, it hit/hits your nose
It hit/hits your belly, your chin and toes
Well, try and try and try again
Keep on trying and soon end
You put/puts your hands out in the air
You’ll catch the ball
Yes this I swear/swears

You got yourself roller skates
You put/puts them on and you feel/feels great

You get/gets back up, then you trip/trips,
You skip/skips and tip/tips and slip/slips, and flip/flips
You try/tries and try/tries and try/tries some more
And soon you’re skating across the floor

English in the News

Good morning Year 6- We hope you had a restful weekend!
Let’s talk about something that isn’t COVID19!

Click the picture below to read an article about PAY PHONES IN NEW YORK CITY.  Do you even know what pay phones are?  Do you recognize the picture? 
Read what is in the news about  them, then challenge yourself in the next link to test how well you have understood the REAL news article.

Let us know if this exercise was easy or difficult for you by leaving a comment in the space below.  Have you ever used a pay phone? Have you got a mobile phone?  Let us know!
Happy Monday!
