Hi guys,

today we had time to finish making a recap of what you have learned about global warming (solutions).

Here are some of the things you said:

I have already ridden my bike to school and I still do it everyday.

It's important because the less we use a car, the less we pollute.

The more we walk, use our bikes or public transport, the more energy we save.

At the end of the class, each group had to give me one summary with their ideas. Some of you did a great job. Congrats!

Hi guys,

today we first made a recap that you wrote in your copybook about "Quentin" (description in your test).

Then we practised speaking English in pairs. You had to describe a thief to a policeman who had to draw a sketch.

Here are the questions you could ask:

Has he / she got ...?

-> Yes, he / she has.

-> No, he / she hasn't.

Is he / she wearing ...?

-> Yes, he / she is.

-> No, he / she isn't.

Does he / she look like...?

-> Yes, he / she does.

-> No, he / she doesn't.

Then 2 groups of students came to the front of the class and did a presentation.

Finally, we worked on the pronunciation of diphthongs [ai], [ei], ...

Hi guys,

today we first made a recap of we had learned before about the presidents' pets and how the word "teddy bear" was created from Theodore Roosevelt.

Then we continued the lesson with some riddles, clues and answers about some pets. You had to read a text and guess what pet it was about thanks to some clues.

Finally, you listened to a conversation in class about the pupil's pets. Here is what we wrote:

Sharon's pet is a kangaroo. It has got 2 short legs and 2 long back legs. It's exotic. It comes from Australia.

Julie's pet is a cat. It likes drinking milk and he loves eating fish. It has got 4 legs.

Rob's pet is a fish. It's a very quiet pet. It's exotic and it lives in warm water.

Vocab:

an enigma / a riddle = a clue + a clue + a clue ... = an answer!
