HIPPO 2018

Ten of my Class 6 pupils took part in the 6th English Language Competition on 23 February. The exam consisted of reading and listening parts.

Robot dictation

Our next task of the eTwinning project Talking Second Graders was to listen and draw a robot. Each group prepared a description of a robot and shared it with the others.

We've decided on this description:

His head is a pink square.
His eyes are two blue circles.
His nose is a green triangle.
His mouth is a red rectangle.
His ears are two yellow stars.

And, these are the drawings of Slovenian and Spanish robots:

Amazing animals

My younger pupils just love making something with their hands and if they can use some modelling clay, their excitement has no end.

Since our topic was Wild animals, I asked them to make their favourite ones for the others to guess and to practise descriptions. Two classes used modelling clay to make their favourite animals and the other two made collages.

Here's the result:

I have even created an application for revising the animal vocabulary and shared it with our eTwinning partners. 

EDL T-shirt designs

Two of my artistic Class 6 students, Aleksandra and Ivana, took part in the international contest organised by the Council of Europe. Their task was to come up with a T-shirt design for the European Day of Languages.

As you can see, Aleksandra decided to combine the national animals with their names in the languages of the countries they come from and Ivana chose one of the most popular symbols of European capitals and wrote a sentence connected to that capital in different languages.

Christmas 2017

This year, we spent two lessons talking about Christmas celebrations.

We listened to some Christmas songs, learned a new one, revised some Christmas related words, watched the story about Gingerbread Man, did some drawing and colouring, made finger puppets with Christmas heroes and also designed Christmas cards for our friends from Slovenia, Spain, Poland, Finland and Greece.

A Scary Experience

Have you ever experienced anything scary? When did it happen? Describe what happened. 

It can be true/real or imaginary/made up. Use the words: First, Then, Next, After that, Suddenly, Finally...

The following might help you:
P1: Where were you? What was the day like? Who was with you?
P2: What were you doing when it happened? What did you do?
P3: What happened afterwards?
P4: What happened in the end?
P5: How did you feel?How did the others feel?

It was a dark and cold night. My mother was making dinner in the kitchen, I was watching TV in the living room, and my dad was outside in the garden.

It was almost dinner time, so my mum asked me to call dad. Then, I grabbed my torch and went outside. 

I shouted, but nobody answered. So, I went deeper into our garden. It was so dark that I couldn't see anything.

Then I heard some footsteps getting closer to me. After that, I heard a voice saying my name. I was so scared that I couldn't even move.

Then I tried to be bold and turn around. When I turned around I saw my dad. He was trying to tell me that it was time to go inside.

I was laughing all the way to our house, because I felt ridiculous.
