Clothes: Cardigan, Wellies, Balaclava

Wednesday 21^st May

Hello Everybody!

Are you enjoying your weekend? 

What did we do in class? We finished talking about shopping.

 We listened to Chloe, Ellen and Mathis. They told us where they prefer shopping and why.

Mathis prefers shopping on the net because there’s more variety. Ellen prefers the shops in the high Street because the shop assistants are friendlier and they chat with you. Chloe doesn’t like buying clothes in the street market or on the net because she can’t try them on.

What about you?

Where do you prefer shopping? In the High street shops, in the street market, on the internet, in shopping centres? What things do you like shopping in each place?

I usually buy clothes from the high street because they’re good quality.

To finish the topic of shopping, we focused on clothes.

We did an exercise on vocabulary related to clothes. Can you tell me which clothes do you wear…

… in your top half? …in your bottom half? …in your top and bottom half? …in your feet?

Anorak, tights, trousers, coat, vest, jacket, suit, tie, shorts, dress, stockings, trainers, jumper, shoes, boots, sweater, shirt, T-shirt, sandals.

We read about clothes with a tradition.

·         Do you know what a ‘balaclava’ is? It’s a woollen hat.

·         Did you know where it got its name from? From the battle of Balaclava, in the Crimea war.

·         What did you know about ‘wellies’? Not much; but now you know that they are the traditional rubber boots that we wear when it rains. And that they are named after (had their name from) Wellington, a British soldier.

·         What’s a ‘cardigan’? It’s   a short woollen coat with buttons. It got its name after another British soldier, Lord Cardigan.

We listened to the song ‘Imagine’, by John Lennon.

Can you answer these questions?

·        According to some religions, where do good people go when they die?

·        According to some religions, where do bad people go when they die?

·        Where can you see the clouds and the sky?

·        How do you call the action when somebody wants much more then they need?

·        What’s the noun for hungry?

·        What’s the opposite of ‘war’?

              

Imagine! Can you imagine all the people living life in peace?

And we finished the class with a rehearsal for our play: ‘Island for Sale’

We still have to improve some little things, but your performance was very good! Well done! Now, try to memorize your parts of the play.

Anyway, I hope you tell me who will be able to attend our end of course show. Please bring back the notices (pieces of paper) we gave you to let us know which of you we can count on!

Homework: find three photos or make three pictures of people and describe the clothes they’re wearing.
