At the restaurant: first steps in a real situation in English
29/11/19They have made a theatrical performance of a family that goes to dinner at a restaurant, the father, the mother, their son and daughter. So far they have only ordered drinks: water, lemonade, milkshake and orange juice.
They asked for a table for four, the menu and ordered some drinks but the performance will continue soon.
They are really motivated with this project and can’t wait to open their own restaurant in their class.
Writing a letter
29/11/19We have been writing a letter to our future new schoolmates from the Secondary School in order to meet them before going to their school. We will recive a letter back from them in February. We had done an online activity and watched a couple of videos to get a better idea. Then in class we saw an example of a letter and got inspiration from examples extracted from “I love English Junior”, the magazine that comes monthly to our school.
