How to improve my listening?

Hello everyone!

Many of you have difficulties with the listening skill or want to practise this skill at home. The problem is that sometimes, it is very difficult for you to find good materials. I'll give you the solution!

There is an app called LEB, in which you can find many audios available in English. These listenings are more difficult than the ones you usually practice in the classroom but they have the transcription, so you can listen at the same time you are reading what they are saying.

Once you have downloaded the app, on the left you will find three lines. If you click there you will see many different audios. I recommend you the ones called "6 Minute English" (listenings about different topics) and "Drama" (listenings about fairy tales and books). Anyway, use the app and you will see how many resources you can find (grammar, vocabulary, news, etc.). I hope you like it.

Hola a todos!
Muchos de vosotros tenéis dificultades con el listening o queréis practicar esta destreza en casa. El problema es que muchas veces es muy difícil encontrar materiales adecuados. Aquí tengo la solución!

Hay una aplicación que se llama LEB en la que podéis encontrar muchos audios disponibles en inglés. El nivel de dificultad es más alto del que practicamos en clase pero lo bueno es que estos vienen con la transcripción y podéis ir leyendo lo que van diciendo al mismo tiempo.

Una vez descargada la aplicación, en la esquina superior izquierda encontraréis tres rayitas. Pinchad ahí y podréis encontrar audios de muchos tipos. Yo os recomiendo "6 Minute English (audios de diversos temas)" y "Drama" (audios de cuentos). De todas formas, investigad un poco la aplicación y veréis que ofrece gran variedad de recursos (gramática, vocabulario, noticias, etc.). Espero que os guste.

Grammar: Past simple

Hi loves!

Today you have a reminder about how to create the past simple in affirmative, negative and interrogative. In addition, you will find the differences about regular and irregular verbs. This is something you have practiced in the classroom so you have to review it and practise as much as as you can. 

WHo wants to be millionaire?

Hi kids!

Do you remember the Wh- questions? Here, you have a picture to review them. I would like to suggest an interesting game:
-Prepare 3 or 4 questions to your parents, brothers or sisters and ask them the questions you have prepared. If they don't know English, don't worry! That's a good opportunity to be REAL TEACHERS! You can explain them the meaning and help them learning English too.
Moreover, I give you a website to practice the Wh- questions by playing games :)

-Who wants to be a millionaire? This a website in which you need 2 players. You can play with a friend, with your family or even you can invent an imaginary friend :) You have to choose the points you want to win and you'll answer some questions.

-Let's choose! In this game you have the possibility to challenge yourselves. You'll have to choose the most appropriate Wh- questions. Let's play!

Learning to sew!

This is the funny way in which the students have learnt how to sew to create their own candy bags for Halloween. They have helped each other and they have learnt many new things. This is an example but you can create your own bags with the shape you want. Try it at home and teach your family!

Halloween at school

This is a summary about how we celebrated Halloween at the school. In addition, the students had the possibility to see a Halloween magic show and enter into the Horror House prepared by the 6th grade students. I enjoyed a lot this day with my children and I had a great time at school :) Hope you enjoyed too. Happy Halloween everyone!!!
