This year Nene is joining us in the blog. We also have Pablo and Daniel, who are new in the school.
In our first lesson I was checking to see how much you remember from last school year after the summer. I asked the date and the season and students answered correctly. I said it was the first day of autumn and one of the students, the smart thing, corrected me and said: No, it isn't, the first day of autumn was yesterday, which it was right, because the new season started on September 21st and Monday was September 22nd.
I asked students where they had been in the summer. I said:
I was in San Sebastian, at the beach. Where were you?
It turned out that they had all been at the beach. In Almuñecar, Valencia, Murcia... Well, Daniel was on a cruise. He went to Norway.
Students drew some beautiful pictures of the place they went for vacation and explained the rest of the group about them.
They learned the words: beach, sea, sand, trees, hotel, boat.
Which things can you see in this picture? This is for Homework.
Example: I can see the sea.
Later we started our new topic: The weather. Students are already familiar with the question: What's the weather like? But we studied new words to answer that question, like: cool, freezing, boiling. The words they already knew are: cold, warm, hot.
We also studied some adverbs: quite, very, absolutely. We put them before the other words: Examples: very hot, quite warm, absolutely freezing.
Students listened to a recording and matched the pictures in the book with the sentences they heard.We also started to learn the names of some countries in Europe: Germany, United Kingdom, France, Spain, Austria, Russia, Italy, etc.
Homework
Write a sentence for each day of this week. Example: It is cool on Monday.
