Can you type?

Deja un comentario

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!

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!

A Cultural Moment: Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!

Deja un comentario

Hello-

In the midst of our confinement we can still celebrate a virtual holiday!  Today, March 17th , in Ireland and where ever there are Irish populations, people get together to wear green, eat corn beef and cabbage and celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day!  These videos explain the whys and hows of this green luck o’ the Irish celebration!

https://youtu.be/MqO0O8O8Gmk

 

And now a traditional Irish anthem.  (Aviso: coged pañuelos, que es una canción bastante melancólica.)

And now for something equally traditional, but a little happier!

And just in case you aren’t familiar with Irish Step Dancing, here is a small taste.

Enjoy this cultural moment.  Happy Saint Patrick’s day and Luck o’ the Irish to you all!

Erin go bragh,

Lindley McCarthy

English in the Time of Corona Virus

Sorry, bad take on Gabriel Garcia Márquez´s title Love in the Time of Cholera….

Nonetheless, the world has not stopped turning, and this too shall pass, so while we are all at home, let’s take advantage of our free time to review and continue to practice all that we are learning in English.

By the time we are back together at school, hopefully, you will have reviewed and practiced any concepts that we have learned or that are difficult for you!  To help you with that, we have new exercises on liveworksheets and we will continue to add them.  Also, we will be posting video lessons and activities on the blog, so please keep checking it. If you have questions or doubts, comment to us on the blog.

Meanwhile, go wash your hands!

Stay in your house, take care of the people you love and stay well!  Take the weekend off, and check this space for work on Monday.

We’ll teach virtually for a while, and we´ll see you on the flip side!

All our best,

Lindley and Manolo

Bueno chicos y chicas, el mundo no se ha parado , esto es solamente un pequeño intermedio en nuestras vidas, así que mientras estamos en casa, vamos a aprovechar para repasar , aprender y practicar   inglés.

Durante este tiempecito que estarás en casita y hasta que nos volvamos a ver en nuestro Colegio, habrás repasado y practicado cualquier concepto y tema en inglés que hemos estudiado juntos y quizás era un poco difícil para tí.  Para ayudarte, además de los cuadernillos de inglés , tenemos que mirar en www.Liveworksheets.com , donde tendrás nuevas actividades para practicar y mantener al día tu inglés.  También habrá entradas en el Blog con nuevos videos.  Así que por favor,  no se te  olvide comprobar diariamente estos dos recursos.

Mientras tanto, lavate las manos muchas veces.

Cuidate y cuida de las personas que amas, escondete en tu casa.

Estamos en contacto contigo virtualmente.

Te deseamos todo lo mejor.

Lindley y  Teacher.

Hi Everyone!  Better late than never, but I apologize for the delay in getting this video of your World Explorer activity to you!  (As you will see, I definitely need more experience in sound, filming and editing videos!)  Despite the quality of work on my end (I’m working on these skills, I promise!), I want to congratulate you again, Year 6 for your efforts during Culture Week.  You did a great job representing world explorers, dressing as them and teaching the other students about some of the historical characters who helped shape the world as we know it!  I hope  you enjoyed it too!

Here is a video of most of you (to those of you whose speeches were cut short, my deepest apologies!!) so you can share our activities with your families.  I hope you enjoy seeing yourselves!
