Training course about pronunciation

Hi there, last week was an amazing one. I had to cope with different issues. One of them was an amazing training course about pronunciation activities in primary lessons. One of the task I had to design was this one.

The proposal consist of doing a warm-up activity reviewing colours' names. After that, the idea is to organize the group of students in pairs and give some words to each couple. They will have to decide the colour that matches with the words given.

For ending the activity, children will play this game: 

                                   SAY A WORD THAT RHYMES WITH...

Simile

In fact, similes can be fun.

Now, it's time to listen to "Everything at once" by Lenka. You are going to enjoy listening and singing this amazing song.

Earth Day

 

Each year, April 22nd marks the anniversary of what many consider the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970.

It means that people around the world are becoming more conscious of the urgent need to reduce pollution and save our green and blue planet.

HOW TO WRITE SLOGANS

1) Start using an infinitive verb: save, stop, live, clean, recycle, reuse, plant, pick up,...

2) Do not think a long slogan. Short slogans are easier to remember

3) Look at these examples:

4) Now, it's your turn! Design your logo using Autodraw !

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

 Hi everyone,

having time to prepare this important event, I have found this useful website where you can find different resources for your students

WAVE-IT

 

Time to make space for something new.

Hi there, how is alll going?

This is a post of celebration because this blog is 10 years old. I am truly grateful for your support along these years, really grateful.

Moreover, this post is a farewell, so I am really happy and sad at the same time. 

Due to I am involved in a different project, I am going to shut down this blog.

The idea to close it down first started to pop in and out of my consciousness about two years ago, when I was enrolled in many eTwinning and school projects. But the blog was doing so well because it was averaging about many visitors a month and growing. I thought I would have to be crazy to even consider getting rid of it.

But, nowadays it is different. I do not want to be worried because I do not publish anything and that's the reason of my decision. Maybe it is not going to be an end for ever... Who knows...but now, it is time to make space for something new.

 

Thanks again to everyone for contributing, reading and supporting the blog so far!

Happy Teachers' Day!

The world Teachers' Day is an international day held every year on October 5th. It commemorates the signing of the UNESCO's status for teachers in 1966. If you want to make this day special for your favourite teacher,  send her or him a message in which you remind their lessons. By the way, here you have this lovely video for celebrating this day.

TRIBUTE TO QUINO

Yesterday was a sad day because Joaquín Salvador Lavado Tejón, known as "Quino", passed away at the age of 88. 

When I was a child, I read Quino's books almost every day! One of my famous comic strip was Mafalda, his most famous work. In fact, I love Quino's strips nowadays! After 56 years (the same Mafalda's age) I can say that Quino has been living and it will live inside my soul. 

This is my personal tribute to QUINO. 

By the way, if you did not have the opportunity to know who he was, here you have wikipedia information.

European Day of Languages

Hi there, this is the second week at school and children are happy to be in contact with friends and to celebrate their friendship! Hooray for them! 

Also, this week is important because it finishes celebrating the European Day of Languages on September 26th. Because of that, I have prepared this breakout about languages in Europe. They are in a trouble and they need your help. Do you want to help them? Try it. You can do it!!
