April, Tuesday 29th

Hi there!

In our shortest week ever, we started by correcting exercise 6b (page 79) and did exercises 4a, 4b and 4c on the previous page. Right after that, we went back to the beginning of the unit (page 76) where we had a ball with exercise 1b (Never shower in a thuderstorm). It was fun to see your faces when you knew some myths were actually truths or viceversa ;-)
Then, Toby and his medical & simile definitions activity (copies still available in the classroom).
Please, for Tuesday next (month!) do exercises 1 & 2 on page 50 in your workbooks.

See you then! Enjoy your time guys!

OUR LAST FRIDAY!! HURRAAAYY!!

Yesterday we first began with a spot the difference activity in order to revise the use of prepositions of place & movement. Then, we revised the verbs of the senses on the screen ( "! I´m smelling the fish because I want to check it´s fresh" ... food for thought). We then moved on to unit 5C. Trick or treatment ,where we did exercises 1a on page 76 and 2a on 77 - the former on medical vocabulary, the latter on similes-. ....And that was all!

Please, don´t forget to do exercise 6b on page 79 in your books (right after reading Trick or treatment? Alternative medicine on trial )

See you on Tuesday next week!

Hi there!

Yesterday we resumed speaking about bizarre artworks in unit 8A. We first did exercises 2a and 2b on page 72-73 and then learned about the verbs of the senses (CLICK HERE) . We then did the exercises on page 149. Right after that, we skipped the longish listening activity ( you can listen & read at home if you fancy) and then worked on page 164 PREPOSITIONS OF PLACE AND MOVEMENT

That was all folks!

Please, do work on photocopy 7 for today´s class.

See you in a few hours ...

WELCOME BACK GUYS!
"And they call it art..."

Our last weeks ahead! Summer time is just round the corner!!
We resumed classes today. We started unit 5B - Just any old bed?- where we just had time to do exercises 1a, 1b and the first four questions of 1c. We´ll continue on Thursday.

Then, Toby´s time and our special guest (Melvin, Toby´s dad). They gave you the Mini-debates speaking activity, where both of them gave you expressions such as That´s that! or So there!, aside from others like "We agreed to disagree" or "additionally". It was a fun and vibrant debate!

See you on Thursday, guys! No homework....

Hi there!

Our first week before Easter break! Today we just corrected exercises on Welcome to Nannyfornia: true, false or doesn´t say & phrasal verbs (pages 68 -69). We also did exercise b on page 148 - we could only use three words for the blanks!- and then started wordbuiliding (on page70). There we just did exercises a and b.
Then, Toby´s time with April´s fool day! There are copies still available in the classroom, but you might want to know about Google Nose ... enjoy the video, fact or prank? :-)

Please do exercise 4c on page 70 in your books for Thursday!

See you then!
