Talk about yourself (writing)

We are already approaching the end of the academic year. We are going to review a little bit today the most important things of this course. Look at the top picture. That girl, Mary, talk us about herself. You, like her, must use nine sentences:

5. What you have and what you don't have.
6. What you can do and what you cannot do.

If you can't print the PDF worksheet, you can also do it all on a separate sheet.

Please, at the end, send me your worksheets to fogarnews@gmail.com.

Today, just dance!

What if we danced a little? It’s not going to be all study, is it? 

We suggest you play «Just Dance» with this catchy Black Eyed Peas song. But, attention, the important thing is not to sing the song, but to have a good time dancing, and if it's with the family, much better.

The song is titled «I gotta feeling» (Tengo un sentimiento). If you want you can learn and sing the chorus which is easy! 

I gotta feeling (Tengo un sentimiento)
That tonight's gonna be a good night (que esta noche va a ser una buena noche)
That tonight's gonna be a good night (que esta noche va a ser una buena noche)
That tonight's gonna be a good good night (que esta noche va a ser una buena buena noche)

And if you want to know the translation of the complete song, here you have it.

If you practice choreography (alone or with your father, your mother, your brothers or sisters...) and you want to record it on video, go ahead! We know that many are embarrassed to dance, but don't worry, it is a voluntary activity.

Come on, cheer up! Wear comfortable clothes and dance!

Resumen tareas: «Today, just dance!» (29-5-20) (actividad voluntaria)
—No todo va a ser estudiar. Ver el vídeo del juego «Just Dance».
—Ya sabemos que lo de cantar y bailar a veces da vergüenza, por eso sólo los niños/as que quieran pueden jugar a bailar imitando la coreografía (como en el juego «Just Dance»). No es imprescindible aprenderse la canción ni cantarla. Lo importante es pasar un buen rato!
—Si se animan, pueden aprender el estribillo (traducido arriba). También aquí está la letra completa de la canción traducida.
—Si se practica y apetece, se puede grabar el baile (en HORIZONTAL, por favor). Evidentemente, con la familia mucho mejor!
—Por último, podéis mandar los vídeos a fogarnews@gmail.com a través de wetransfer.com. Damos un plazo de 2 semanas para enviar los vídeos que se deseen (hasta el 11 de junio). Animo!

Colours and feelings

We have found this wonderful story that you will surely like. It is based on the book The Color Monster, by Anna Llenas. It tells us about a monster that is feeling bad and confused because it has a great hubbub of colors. That's because he also has a lot of confusion of feelings. We can help him by ordering his colours so he learns to recognize his feelings.

yellow = happiness (felicidad)

blue = sadness (tristeza)

red = anger (enfado)

black = fear (temor)

green = calm (calma)

After putting each feeling in a diferent jar, we can look them more closely.

Happiness shines yellow like the sun. (La felicidad brilla amarilla como el sol)

Sadness is gentle like a blue rainy day. (La tristeza es suave como un lluvioso día azul)

Anger blazes red like fire. (El enfado arde como el fuego rojo)

Fear is black like the night. (El temor es negro como la noche)

Calm is quiet like the trees. (La calma es tranquila como los árboles)

Watch and read the story carefully several times. It doesn't matter that you don't understand all the words. Anyway, you can check the ones you want in this online dictionary.

Finally, to practice the vocabulary of colours and feelings, do these activities: here, here and here.

Resumen tareas «Colours and feelings» (28-5-20)

Nos cuenta la historia de un monstruo que tiene un su cuerpo un gran alboroto de colores, porque también tiene una gran confusión de sentimientos. Nosotros (y la niña del cuento) le podemos ayudar: si ordenamos sus colores en tarros, también le ayudaremos a reconocer y distinguir sus propios sentimientos.

In this way, you can practise at home the grammar, vocabulary and songs also studied at school. But it’s an old resource and you need Adobe Flash Player!

    

You can also visit the Online Learning Zone. Games, activities and resources in English of different Oxford projects for students.

That is all for today. We will have more proposals soon!

¡Hola a todos! Estos días especiales podemos usar FOGAR NEWS para practicar inglés desde casa. Todos los estudiantes de tercer curso encontrarán diferentes recursos y actividades aquí en el blog. Se relacionarán con las unidades anteriores y también con la nueva unidad 5 que acabamos de empezar.
Recuerda que a la derecha tienes las etiquetas, en orden alfabético. Revísalas y elige lo que quieras: canciones, animales, colores, números, historias...
Si visitas este sitio de Oxford Explorers o haces clic en las imágenes, encontrarás juegos, canciones, historias y diccionarios de imágenes que acompañan tus unidades del Class Book de 1o a 3er curso. De esta manera, se puede practicar en casa la gramática, el vocabulario y las canciones también estudiadas en la escuela. Pero es un recurso antiguo y necesitas Adobe Flash Player!
También puedes visitar la Zona de Aprendizaje en Línea. Juegos, actividades y recursos en inglés de diferentes proyectos de Oxford para estudiantes.
Eso es todo por hoy. ¡Pronto tendremos más propuestas!

Do you know how to count to fifty? In the first units we learned the numbers from one to twenty. And now it's time to learn to count to fifty!

With this song it will be easier!

Let's sing and count!
