Everyone is doing something!

Happy Monday to you Year 4-

We are sure you are doing many things in your houses these days.

While you are spending time at home, listening to music, reading the blogs and doing your work, we are working too.

We thought you might like this short game in the video below.  Test yourselves to discover what he is doing.

 

Even though you are practicing the present continuous, keep revising the present simple too!  Here is song to help you practice and with a good message for these difficult days!  Don’t Give Up by Bruno Mars.

Now try this present tense exercise. Choose the correct word in black bold letters.

­­DON’T GIVE UP –  by: Bruno Mars

When you want/wants to do something that’s new
And it seem/seems really, really hard to do
You feel/feels like quitting, you feel/feels you’re through
Well I have/has some advice for you

If you want/wants to catch a ball
But you’re having no luck at all
The ball hit/hits your head, it hit/hits your nose
It hit/hits your belly, your chin and toes
Well, try and try and try again
Keep on trying and soon end
You put/puts your hands out in the air
You’ll catch the ball
Yes this I swear/swears

You got yourself roller skates
You put/puts them on and you feel/feels great
You stand/stands up, then you fall/falls,
Don’t think you can skate at all
You get/gets back up, then you trip/trips,
You skip/skips and tip/tips and slip/slips, and flip/flips
You try/tries and try/tries and try/tries some more
And soon you’re skating across the floor

Happy Monday.

All the best,

Teacher and Lindley

English in the News

Good morning Year 6- We hope you had a restful weekend!
Let’s talk about something that isn’t COVID19!
We thought we would start the morning with a «real life» activity for you.  In our connected world of screens, phones and computers, we want to share a bit of news with you about old technology and what is happening to it!
Click the picture below to read an article about PAY PHONES IN NEW YORK CITY.  Do you even know what pay phones are?  Do you recognize the picture? 
Read what is in the news about  them, then challenge yourself in the next link to test how well you have understood the REAL news article.

Let us know if this exercise was easy or difficult for you by leaving a comment in the space below.  Have you ever used a pay phone? Have you got a mobile phone?  Let us know!
Happy Monday!

Can you type?

Good morning everyone! Congratulations on nearly completing your first week telecommuting  or «working from home.»

Reminder: Please look at liveworksheets.com. We have renewed worksheets with a mark of 7 or lower, and we have added more worksheets, including weekly reviews!  Stay motivated!  Do a self test!

We are sure there have been unexpectedly wonderful parts of working from home and some complicated ones too.  Since it is Friday, we wanted to leave you not with more homework, but with a link to practice a life skill that you may need more than ever in this new world order.

TYPING =MECANOGRAFÍA

We figure it is easier to work on a computer if you know how to write properly.  Learning to type is fun, and it makes writing on a computer faster and more accurate.

So, here is a picture that shows you how to position your hands on the «home row.»  This is the line of letters in the middle of a keyboard (teclado) where you keep your hands to type.  If you click on the picture, you will go to a link IN SPANISH to help you learn the basics of typing.

Here is a video to help you:

 

After you learn the basics, we think you´ll have fun challenging yourselves with these typing GAMES.  For those of you who play lots of video games, you might already have great finger control!

Juegos.  Pincha aquí:

Start to play, and leave us a comment on the blog to let us know how your typing skills progress! Have fun!

Enjoy your weekend! Play, exercise and spend time with your family!

We´ll be back in touch on Monday and we look forward to reading your comments and messages!

All the best, stay well!
