Hello children!

Let's check what we know about the comic: Planet Defenders to the rescue.

On your workbook, do activities 1, 2 and 3 on page 38. (The whole page).

Then, on page 39, read and copy the grammar connect table. (use of "must" and "mustn't"). After that, do activity 1.

*Remember: Must is a verb that means "what we have to do". It is very useful to indicate rules.

That's all folks!

Friday 24th April 2020

English time once more!

... And these are my answers to the last activities:

Workbook. Page 38, Activity 1:

- The children see how a tanker crashes into the rocks, near the reef.

- The tanker is huge and it is the most modern tanker in the world.

- The tanker crahes because there was a problem with the engine and they were very close to the rocks. They could not change its direction at time.

- The reef is very important because it is the home for millions of living beings. It is an essential ecosystem.

- I think they are a good team because they know how to collaborate.

- They are good team members because they can coordinate their help.

Activity 2:

- I think the best superheroin the story is... (example) Izo, because she can freeze the oil and it stops the spill.

- I think the worst person in this story is the captain, because he was not careful with his job.

- The funniest part of the story is when the instructor comes back at the end. Ha ha ha.! : )

- The most exciting moment is when the children transform into superheroes.

Activity 3: (Notice that this activity is a good example of how to write a bibliographic record).

- The title of the comic story is "Planet Defenders to the rescue".

- The main characters are: Izo, Mitsuko and Sorano.

- The story happens in Japan´s sea (possibly Pacific Ocean).

- The story is about a group of children that see a tanker having an accident into the rocks. As these children are superheroes, they have superpowers that help them solve the problem.

- Planet Defenders are heroes because they help in a catastrophic accident. They remove the oil from the sea and put it back in the tanker. They save the reef. And do it for free. ;)

- My favourite part of the story is the funny end. No victims. Just laughs.

Page 39, Activity 1

- Hugo isn't very well. He must go to the doctor.

- Katy is going to ride a horse. She must use a helmet.

- That water is very deep. You mustn't swim there.

- I must study hard to get a good mark in my exam.

- You mustn't use a mobile phone at the hospital.

- You mustn't talk in an exam.

Bye!

Thursday, 7th of May 2020

Good morning ladies and gentlemen!

This is my example of letter:

Dear (friend's name),

If you are thinking about going on holidays to Cantabria, there's a fantastic place you must visit: Cabarceno's wildlife park. It is much more than a traditional zoo. First, it is so huge that you will have to spend several hours to see everything in it. Some animals live locked in very big lands where they can feel very comfortable. There are all kind of wild animals. Some of them run free through the picnic areas or paths. You can see exhibition of birds, reptiles and funny sea lions. There are cafés, bars and a restaurant, but there isn't any hostel or somewhere to sleep in. Anyway, it is very close to villages in Santander where you can find hotels, hostels or campsites.

And now it's going to be listening time:

Just listen to activity 1 on page 54 on your pupil's book. Then listen and write activity 4 (on your notebook).

Sophie: Did you have it this morning?

Charlie: Yes. This is the place where we had lunch.

Sophie: Where did you go after that?

Charlie: We went to the Science lab with Mr. James. He's the person who teaches us Chemistry.

There are nine countries which have a border with Germany: Denmark, Neherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, France, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic and Poland.

3. Find out the names of three German festivals. What do people do?

- Oktoberfest, Munich: This is maybe the most popular festival in Germany. People eat and drink beer.

- Karneval, Cologne: It is their Carnival, so people get dressed with all kind of costumes and do parades with music.

- Unity Day, Berlin: It commemorates the 1989 reunification of East and West Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall. They have parades and concerts almost everywhere.

4. If I have to choose one of these festivals, I would choose Karneval because I think it is the funniest of them.

Ok, friends. Are you a bit tired? Just in case, only go to page 65 on your pupil's book and watch the videos on activity 2. Then you can answer activity 3.

All the best! Bye!

Hello everyone!

Here we are again. Ready to correct?

Pupil's book, page 65, activity 3.

After watching the videos, we learnt new vocabulary thanks to Sophie's brother, Tom. These are new places, things and people that you will meet at your secondary school:

- The place where Tom puts his PE kit: The locker (la taquilla).

- A list of all your classes for the week: The timetable (el horario).

- The place where you go first thing in the morning: The form room (sala de asambleas).

Right. Unit almost finished. Let's go back to the workbooks, page 51,  and do activities 1, 2, 3 and 4. Vocabulary review and how to use correctly the relative words (who, which, where, that). Quick and easy to do.

Very well. Then we are going back again to pupil's book, page 66. Write, learn and translate the vocabulary in the blue box. So you can do activity 3 (listen and complete the chart). On page 67 there is a dialogue between Charlie and Sophie. This is new Grammar. The Present Perfect Tense, which is like (he hablado, has comido, ha saltado, hemos leído, etc...). To understand it better, copy the Grammar Connect chart. We will do some more activities tomorrow.

Bye!

Good morning everyone! Happy to have you here again!

Let's see how easy is this vocabulary that I think you already knew it:

- Eat sushi (Comer sushi)

- Make a film (Hacer una película)

- Play the drums (Tocar la batería)

- See a volcano (Ver un volcán)

- Sing in a show (Cantar en un espectáculo)

- Swim with dolphins (Nadar con delfines)

- Travel in a helicopter (Viajar en helicóptero)

- Write a comic story (Escribir una historia de cómic)

Page 66. Activity 3: Listen and complete the chart. Which activity would they like to do the most?

- Emily would like* to go to Italy to see the volcano Mount Vesuvius.

- Sophie would like* to swim with dolphins.

- Charlie would like* to make a film or write a comic story.

- Jack would like* to sing in a show.

* I would like = Me gustaría. La forma contracta es I'd like.

Grammar theory: Present simple, affirmative form:

Subject	Have/has	Verb in past participle	Complements
I	Have	Eaten	Chinese food.
He	Has	Spoken	To his parents.

Grammar theory: Present simple, negative form:

Subject	Have/has + not	Verb in past participle	Complements
They	Haven't	played	Baseball.
It	Hasn't	Hunted	Its prey.

Present simple, interrogative form:

Aux (Have/has)	Subject	Verb in past participle	Complements
Have	you	Gone	To the lake?
Has	She	Done	Her homework?

On page 67 you have copied (habéis copiado) the Grammar Connect chart. Then you will be able to do activity 5 on your notebooks. I'll give you an example of affirmative and negative forms:

- I have played the guitar this afternoon. (He tocado...)

- I haven't climbed Mount Teide.

Write six examples, please. (3 affirmative and 3 negative).

Have a nice day! Take care!

Thursday, 4th of June 2020

¡Hello kids! Nice to have you here again!

Let's do the corrections. The sentences that I'm going to write are examples. You can have different ones, but they have to be done in the Present perfect tense: (It's very useful to learn the verbs list)

*Affirmative form: (Subject + have/has + past participle + complements):

- I have swum in the sea.

- I have seen a volcano.

- I have traveled by plane.

*Negative form: (Subject + haven't/hasn't + past participle + complements):

- I haven't played volleyball.

- I haven't made a video.

- I haven't sung in a show.

* Have you ever...? = ¿Alguna vez has...?

Still on ypur pupil's book, page 68. There it is activity 1. Listen and read it to check pronunciation. Answer the nine questions using the Present perfect tense. Do affirmative or negative sentences, depending on your own case. I will write my answers tomorrow.

I'll see you then! Take care!
