Sixth Grade Quarantine Homework

Hello families!

Seguirem practicant les competències bàsiques a casa. A continuació trobareu recursos.

2. Audio per fer el listening
3. Writing. Han d'escriure un petit text com si es tractés de les competències bàsiques; unes 40/50 paraules. Aquí tenen l'encàrrec:
1. Write to your friend in America. Explain to him/her how are you living this quarantine days. Ask him/her a question. Don't forget to say good bye!

Per acabar, uns vídeos d'aquells que ens agrada veure a classe.

see you soon!

Language Lab!

We were such a few the other day in Sixth Grade, so it was perfect to go check the new Language Lab! It is an awesome place where students can learn language in a different and more attractive way.

The task they had to do was to translate a letter I gave to them. It was such a nice lesson. 

Lil' Companies 2

Do you remember the Company thing we're doing in Sixth Grade? Last week they officially presented their companies, slogans and posters!! Here you have some pictures of the action:

all-free.com

Zombling S.A.

They prepared a slideshare presentation!

Running Friday

So... what do you do with 26 Sixth Graders on a Friday afternoon? RUN. In order to review the content for the upcoming exam, 6th Graders performed a Running Dictation. Something old but gold.

True competition here

Even the guy in crutches wanted to play!

While one team mate is reading the wall, the others are writing all the words down

Lil' Companies

Sixth Graders are really into companies right now. Some of them created companies in their free time and I just felt in love with the idea. There are different companies and each one offers a different product. I decided to let them develope this in the English time under one big condition... IT MUST BE IN ENGLISH! 

Yesterday, in our first "company session" they worked on the Name, Slogan and Poster. They got really creative that day! I can't wait to see the final result. 

Here you have some pictures of the action.

Discussing the slogan ain't easy! Nike didn't come up with "Just Do It" first try...

Busy hands are happy hands

Another group pic. This company is bigger than Amazon... probably

Their company offers a lot of tech product FOR FREE!

this guy is an artist. Word.

Pictures to think

We had a very interesting Valors lesson this past week. Sixth Graders chose a picture at home and then presented it in front of the class. All the images were presented with a deep reflexion about the topic and all the students participated adding comments and thoughts. Here you have some pictures of it.

New Year's Resolutions

New year, new me they say... We started a new term today! The first lesson in all Primary was about the New Year's Resolutions. We discovered what a "Resolution" is and elaborated a list with all the good ideas to improve ourselves in this new year we all just began. Take a look at the pictures!

Autonomy is the word. I'm really proud of them.

Mannequin Challenge

Learning a language isn't only repetitive structures nor tones of new words and vocabulary... The learner need to be immersed in the language's culture! 

What's hot in the U.S.A. lately? The mannequin challenge, that's right! We did our very own MC with 5th and 6th Graders. We had a great time!

(6th) Exam Practice

Hello Sixth Graders! Here you have those key sentences from the story. You need to learn they meaning for the exam. The proper translation of these sentences must be in your notebook! Take a look and hurry up; you are taking the test on Friday!

The Wolf Girl of Devil's River

Molly was pregnant

Get help for...

He died in a terrible storm

Follow José to...

A young boy from the ranch told a story

A year later

When they see you, they run away

Apache Indians told stories about...

She started to make a terrible noise

One of the men shot a wolf

The wolves moved closer and closer

Over the next few years...

The legend grew

"Apple Pen"

I am sure you've heard about this video... Sixth Graders love it and you can catch them singing the song anytime. I know it's a weird video, but that's English anyway!
Working alone or in couples, Sixth Graders took four papers from the "Paper Box" to see what words they would have to use for the song.

At the end of the session they performed the song in front of the whole class.

Writing the lyrics

Key info at blackboards and notebooks!

They learnt the song by heart

It isn't easy!

This one had extra help

Shy? What's shy?

You can easily spot future stars in the class

They were three... but worked for six! Longest song of the day

Everybody on stage

She brought atrezzo to her song!

LOUD and CLEAR
