Thanksgiving Day

On 4^th Thursday in November, Thanksgiving Day.

Some of you did your homework and that’s why you have two extra points!!

We talked about past holidays. So, we used the past.

Then, we pretended to be on holiday. We made postcards and sent them to another classmate.

Nice postcards! Remember to write . “Dear + your friend’s name” and finish with “Love, and your name.”

Don’t forget the prepositions: ON the beach, AT the seaside, IN the city, IN the mountain…

Have a good weekend!!!                    See you next week!

Let's finish talking about hobbies and let's start talking about holidays!

Hello again!

Let’s  start working!

So, our interviewers conducted a survey to find out the best hobby.

Do you remember the questions:

What’s your hobby? What do you like about it? Who do you play with / do your hobby with? Where do you play it / do it? What do you like about it? Can you remember a special moment (e.g. wining a medal / a trophy / beating another team / finding something unusual...)

Do you think you could interview your father, your mother or another member of the family about their hobbies?

You can use the questions above.

And for homework: find a photo or a picture related to holidays. It could be a photo of one of the holidays you had or a photo from a magazine. Because  we’re going to talk about hols. in our next class. (hols means holidays)

We played “Stop” to revise vocabulary. We also wrote high numbers.

And ...this is the result of our game
