Flipped Class, Saint Valentine's Day & Carnival

Wednesday 11^thFebruary

Hello everybody! How was your weekend? Did you enjoy Carnival?

On this link you can read about the ten most important Carnival celebrations all over the world.

Carnival Traditions

We had three absentees. Rodrigo, Jorge, Paula…what happened to you? I hope you aren’t ill! If you are, get better soon!

We started the class revising questions with ‘how?’ Noelia, as usual, did homework and found the answers to the questions:  

·         How far is Cape Town from Cairo?  (distance)

·         How heavy is an African elephant?  (weight)

·         How deep is Lake Baikal?                (depth)

We played a quiz with them but nobody guessed correctly. So, Noelia got 3 points!

 After that, we revised the materials you brought for ‘Flipped class’. Again, Noelia was the one who took it more seriously and prepared word searches for the rest of us!

 We started the first stage of our project based on the NGO Design for Change.

The first stage is called: Feel. You wrote the things you don’t like about your surroundings on post-it cards and we stuck them on cardboard. We are going to comment on it in our next class, as well as move on to the following stage: Imagine.

And we had our ‘Flipped Class’. Almudena said that it was difficult to teach little kids. The idea of turning a heart into an envelope that could enclose a Valentine’s card was nice. But I’m afraid you didn’t explain it clearly enough! Almudena tried to teach vocabulary but…the kids weren’t up to it! (Not very interested in it!)

This is a second opportunity for doing homework. Next Wednesday we are going to correct the extract of the UFO story. Laura, Almudena and Natalia – I understand that Jorge, Paula and Rodrigo have already done it, as it was for last week - do the exercise. And homework for this week 18^th is writing a composition telling me how you spent Carnival. You can either tell me what you did or what your fancy dress was like – if you wore a disguise .
