Reading is a very good way to enjoy while learning a new language. Tanits are discovering it is very different to read in English but that they can understand it and have a good time! In the reading moments there are some English books available and they can read them alone or with the help of the English teacher who helps reading the story out loud.
The 29th of february, we watched the play “Robin, princess of the hoods” and now it was the turn to give the opinion about it. Students had to write a text! They thought it was difficult but, with some scaffolding, they discovered it is very easy to write in English. By the way, nearly all of the students said they really liked the show!
Last week all the children from Mitjans and Grans had the opportunity to enjoy with a new theatre version of Robin. Robin was a rich girl that discovered that her parents’ factory was contaminanting the river.
The students had a good time singing the songs and following Robin’s adventures but the best moment was when three students got on stage and participated in the Garret’s Catwalk. How fun!
One day, while we were talking in the circle, some Tanit said something very fast…
Then another Tanit said “Es como un trabalenguas!”. At that moment Laura told Tanits that in English they have the same: Tongue Twisters. Tanits liked the idea and they decided that they wanted to learn some tongue twisters in English. Here you have the first. Can you say it? Tanits can say it vey fast!
As Tanits created a monster to include in their invented group story, we continued inventing our own monsters. You can see that we created interesting monsters: some are funny, some are scary and they are all very different!
Trough different games we also learned all the necessary vocabulary to describe them. Just have a look at our creations!
As in the class they are creating the characters of their invented story, we have looked at the characters in the traditional stories.
We met the Wolf and he said he was sad because he did not have a name. Tanits decided to call him MIke. After that we decided to give names to all the characters. It was very fun!
