Happy Easter!

Wednesday 25^th March

Hello girls!

I said girls because it seems that the boys have given up (stopped) and they won’t be coming next term.

I guess (imagine) you are enjoying your Easter holidays. By the way, what do you know about Easter in the UK? You can learn something watching this video.

But, what did we do in our previous class?

We started revising the test we had done the week before. You should review the grammar points we have studied during the course because you have forgotten some things.

After that, we reviewed zero and first conditional.

Remember the structure of the first conditional.

We use if + present simple                                            will / won’t + infinitive

If it doesn’t rain on Saturday, we’ll go for a walk.

We won’t buy milk if there’s some in the cupboard.

You can begin with the “if” clause or not. When you begin with “if”, you need to use a comma.

And this is an example of Zero conditional.

We use if + present simple                                   present simple

If you begin the sentence with “if”, you have to use a comma.

For homework, finish the slogans for the mobile phone, the DVD, the bike, the diet chocolates and the private school. We’ll have a competition and will discover which the best slogans are!

Also, make up your minds (decide) about the outdoor games you are going to organize as part of our Design for Change project.

·         What games are you going to organize? Find the vocabulary (in English, of course) that you need to teach the kids.

·         What materials or toys do you need for this game?

·         Where are you going to play these games?

·         Which kids are going to play with you? The kids in the park, the ones at the academy?

·         Do you need anybody’s permission? (Parents’, teachers’ the permission of the director of the academy?)

·         And any other points you can think of.

Then, we talked about shopping and we decided on the price of the items (things) we were going to sell in the market. Only Natalia brought something to sell.

I’m afraid you are not very good tradespeople (sellers), because you didn’t sell anything!

Remember how we say and write the prices in English.

We write	We say	We write	We say
£2	Two pounds	49p	Forty- nine ‘pi’
£1.45	One pound forty-five		Forty-nine pence
€5.05	Five euros five	50c	Fifty cents
$28	Twenty-eight dollars	5c	Five cents

£1 = 100p (pence)       $1 = 100c (cents)        €1= 100c (cents)

 And to finish with, I’d like to congratulate Almudena on winning our games this term, for the second time this year! Congratulations, Almudena.

Have fun and enjoy your Easter holidays! See you on Wednesday 8^th April!!!
