Well, I hope nobody read the entry I had published before, because it was a mistake, it was meant for a group of adults.

Next Monday we can continue rehearsing the play. Unfortunately I know Nene is not coming and I am not sure about the rest of the students, so I cannot tell if we will be able to perform it.

You can bring the mobile phones, though, and the rope. 

By the way, this group has two more classes, tomorrow and next Monday. 

For HOMEWORK see the blog before and study your lines.

Hello!

I am going to copy the end of the play. It is based on some of your ideas. I hope you like it.


They start to play hide and seek. Mother is It. She starts counting.
Then Supermoney and his slaves show up in a silly way, not walking but kind of hopping like the 7 dwarfs.

Supermoney: Hello everybody! We bring wonderful news.

Father: Who are you?

Child: What news?

Catchy: We are your friends.

Ironman: We bring presents.

Supermoney: Look, this is fun. - he shows them the mobiles phones.

Catchy: Look, you can play games with this.

Ironman: You can be powerful, like me. There you go. - he gives each one a mobile phone.

Supermoney: Here is an extra one. For a friend.

Child: For my mum.

Ironman: Yes, sweety, for your mum.

Father and child start to play with the smart phone and the other ones leave with big smiles on their faces. Mother finishes counting and starts to look for them; She is surprised:

Mother: Aren´t you playing?

Child: Mum, look at this, this is much better.

Mother (looking): what is this? Where did you find it?

Father: 3 nice men gave them to us. Look, there is one for you.

The 3 of them get absorbed in their computers (or mobiles). Meanwhile Supermoney and his slaves arrive. Ironman takes the house away. Ironman makes a lot of noise but The family is busy with their artifacts and they don't look up. Catchy starts to throw his noose round Father's neck. Ironman grabs him and takes him away. Then throws the noose around Mother's neck and Ironman takes her away.

Superman: Ha, ha, ha. Now I have more slaves!
Then Catchy throws the noose to catch the Child but at that moment he stands up and says:

Child: Mum, Dad, I want to play Hide and Seek!

Catchy misses. Child starts to run and hides behind a tree.

The 3 monsters start to look for him. Meanwhile the Child runs to the truck where his parents are. Mother and Father are still playing with the mobile phones. He shakes them.
He says:

Child: Mom, can you drive?

Mother: Yes, I can drive.

Child: Dad, Can you throw the noose?

Father: Yes, I can.

He throws the noose and catches Supermoney. Then the 3 of them say:

Family: Now, you are our slave!
Bye, bye!

HOMEWORK

This time you only have to learn your lines.

Supermoney: you have 4 sentences (short ones).
Ironman: you have 3 sentences.
Catchy: you have 2 sentences. Bring a rope!
Father: you have 3 sentences. 
Mother: you have 3 sentences.
Child: You have 7 sentences, but they are very short.

Remember to bring the mobile phones!

Sorry, I thought I had written your blog.

Last week we were rehearsing our play and also deciding the end. Children had many ideas.

We were also reviewing vocabulary: actions and words to describe people.

And we reviewed  dates and months. Students listened to a number of dates and had to write them down. They did a very good job. Some students need to learn how to spell the months, though.

HOMEWORK

Remember you must study how to spell the months:

January
February
March
April
May
June
July
August
September
October
November
December

It´s OK if you don´t have time to do the next exercise before the class. You can do it for next week.

Put the words in order to make sentences.

1. get /I/ at/ 7/ up/ o'clock 

2. I/ a /at/ shower/ have/ o'clock/ 8
3. breakfast/ at/ He/ has/ half/ past/ 8 

4. goes/ school/ to/ She/ at/ o'clock/ 9 

5. has/ She /lunch /at/ o'clock/ 12
