A Presentation and a Sports Trivia Game!

Week 30^th January

Why did only Noelia do homework?

But be careful with the spelling, Noelia!  I-C-E-  S-K-A-T-I-N-G

Anyway, after all the talking about sports you should be able to improvise a presentation.

 Not too bad, but I expected more on your side! Come on, make a little effort!

We meet a new classmate. His name is Lucas. Welcome, Lucas. He was a bit lost.But don’t worry because your classmates are very nice and they will help you. So will I!

After presenting the sport, we listened to the song “We are the Champions” and you had to fill in the gaps in the lyrics.

We also conducted a survey in the class.

·         What’s your name?

·         How old are you?

·         What year are you in?

·         What’s your favourite sport to practise?

·         When did you start?

·         How often do you practise it?

·         What’s your favourite sport to watch?

And we made cards for a Sports Trivia Game!

I see you are really competitive!

The questions you failed were:

·         In badminton, what do you use instead of a ball?

·         What’s the aim of ice skating? This caused a lot of disagreement. If you had listened to Noelia’s presentation, you would have known!

·         Name five sports you can DO. You only said: fencing and boxing. But we use DO with gymnastics, aerobics, Pilates, martial arts, karate, judo etc.

Next week, we are going to talk about present continuous. We are also going to describe pictures.

If you want to remember how to use present continuous, you can practise it with

Mr. Bean

Here is the result of the Games!

Week 22^nd   January

Hi, everybody!

Where’s Carlota?

This week we continued talking about sports.

Depending on the sport we use the verbs, Go, Do or Play.

GO	PLAY	DO
windsurfing	rugby	karate
climbing	ice hockey	aerobics
scuba diving	table tennis	gymnastics
swimming	badminton	judo
cycling	squash	yoga

Yes, we got the right rule all together!

We use Go + ing, except fencing and boxing. We don’t go fencing or go boxing

How do you get the name of the person who practises the sport? What’s the name of the sport?

 Look at this chart:

VERB	SPORT	PERSON
to swim	swimming	swimmer
to run	running	runner
to climb	climbing	climber
to dive	diving	diver
------	fencing	fencer
to skate	skating	skater
	wresting	wrester
to play	football	football player
to play	basketball	basketball player
to cycle	cycling	cyclist
to ride	horse riding	horse rider

• In some sports you hit the ball.

           What do you hit the ball with? A bat, a stick, a club, your hand?

• In other sports you kick the ball (you use your feet). Can you think of  any examples?
• In other sports you throw the ball, as in handball.

We have learnt a lot about sports.

Name the places, equipment and clothes you use for the sports below:

Playing golf- skiing – ice hockey- aerobics- basketball- tennis- football- diving – boxing

And we played: Guess who is it? Reviewing appearance vocabulary.

Don’t forget to do homework!

For two reasons: it’ll help you to remember what we studied and also you’ll get 2 points for the Games!!

For homework you are going to tell the class about a sport. It could be your favourite or not. You can’t talk about football; choose a different one, Please!!

Write a little composition on a piece of paper, saying how you play the game, number of teams, place, equipment and clothes. Don’t forget to draw a picture or stick a photo.

Game 2 Listening : guessing the name of the sport and gap filling.

Player 1	10
Player 2	6
Player 3	----
Player 4	8

Congratulations Carlos!  You did your homework so you got two more points!

          

 Why don't you try this quiz? Come on! Go ahead!

Are You a Sporty Person?

Equipment you Use to Practise Different Sports

Hi! Did you have a good week?

We went on (continue) talking about sports.

I can’t believe you have forgotten how to spell “skiing”!

Can you answer these questions:

What do you use to play badminton?

What do you use to play hockey?

What do you use to play golf?

What do you use to play football?

What do you use to pay table tennis?

And these ones?

What’s the cyclist wearing?

What’s the swimmer wearing?

What’s the hockey player wearing?

What's the horse - rider wearing?

And we played Monopoly!

Carlos is a very good businessman!

Carlota doesn’t like spending money. She prefers to save it.

Noelia has practised playing, so she’s good at it.

And Alejandro follows his intuition.

How has Monopoly changed!

The highest note (paper money, for example a €5note, a €10 note etc.) is 5M = 5 million!

1.8K= 1.8quid

How do you say?

180,000 = a hundred and eighty thousand

250,000 = two hundred and fifty thousand

320,000 = three hundred and twenty thousand

Don’t forget to use “,” for “thousands” and “.” for decimals.

1.8 one point eight

2,004 two thousand and four.

This is your homework:

Choose a sport, (boxing, water polo, volleyball, squash etc.), any sport you want and find information about it.

• How many teams are there?
• How many players are there in each team?
• What equipment (ball, puck, bat, racquet, net, skates etc.) do you need?
• What do you have to wear( clothes, helmet, hat…) ?
• Where do you play the sport (in the gym, in a field, pitch, court etc.)?

Remember: you´ll get two extra points for doing homework!!!!!

 CU next week! Do homework!

Hi again!

Hi again,

I see you had lots of presents and you enjoyed your Christmas a lot.

It was nice to see Carlota, Alejandro, Noelia and Carlos this New Year. Holidays are over! (finished)

Last week, we played a game to revise the pronunciation of irregular past tenses. We had to complete the families. There was the Red family, the Pink family, the Brown family and so on.

For example:

Buy bought bought / think thought thought / catch caught caught belong to the same family because the pronunciation of the group "aught /ought" is the same.

We started talking about sports. 

We played “guess the sport” and we made questions and answers.

We tried to solve a word square but it was a bit more difficult than it looked like!
