Last day of school

Well, it's time to say goodbye for now! I hope that this year was interesting for you and that you learned some new things about the English language. I would recommend that you keep learning English not just over the summer holidays, but throughout your life. You can do this by reading books, watching movies, playing video games or any other type of media that you enjoy. English is a great tool that you can use wherever you go so don't forget!

Since it's the last day of you class you wont have any homework.

Have a great summer! See you soon!

Friday, 27th of March

Good morning everyone! For today’s class, we are going to do some grammar exercises based on the theory that we have already seen. If you need help, remember you can always use your pupil’s book for unit 6.

Here are the activities for today :

Good luck!

Wednesday, 25th of March

Good morning! Today we're  going to start to learn about irregular verbs. If you didn't know, irregular verbs are those that don't behave the same way as normal verbs when transformed to the past simple.

For example :

We know that if we want to transform "dance" to past simple we would say "danced" (dance+ed)

However, irregular verbs do not behave this way. If we think about "eat", we can't say "eated". The correct transformation would be "eat"→ "ate"

You can watch the following video to make it easier

When you finish try to convert these verbs to past simple (you can use the internet, but try to guess!)

Eat→ Ate

Fly

Run

Sing

Drive

Ring

Monday, 23rd of March

Good morning everyone! Yesterday was St. Patrick's day in case you didn't know 😉. Today we will watch a video about St. Patrick and then read some information about him. Lastly, you will answer some questions about St. Patrick in the comments section.

1. Watch the video

St. Patrick’s Day is on March 17^th. It is a celebration honoring the memory of Saint Patrick, who is very important in Ireland.

Legend has it that St. Patrick was taken to Ireland as a young boy. He escaped years later and became a priest. He went back to Ireland to teach people about what he’d learned.

To celebrate the holiday, people now wear green, which is one of the colors on Ireland’s flag. People also wear shamrocks, or clovers, to celebrate the holiday. You might eat green foods like cabbage, brussel sprouts, or cupcakes with green frosting.





3. Answer the following  questions:

a.) When is St. Patrick’s day?

b) Where was St. Patrick taken as a young boy?

c) What color do you have to wear on St. Patrick’s day?

d) What colors are the Irish flag?
