Have Fun with English! 2

A blog for me and my 5th and 6th grade students (2005-2007) in Parede, Portugal.

Good luck this week!

      Hi, kids!

Tuesday (tomorrow) and Thursday morning you have your "Prova de Aferição" (SAT, or Standard Assessment Test) in Portuguese and Math, respectively. I hope you have studied, feel prepared and do well.

All 4th grade and 6th grade students in Portugal, Açores and Madeira will do the same test at the same time. Can you imagine the number of students involved?!

I will be on duty in a classroom on both mornings. Maybe I'll see some of you there.

Remember: concentrate 100%, pay attention to the questions, read them carefully, and think about your answer before you write it down. Good luck!

What did you do last weekend?

      Hi, kids!

How did you spend your weekend? I mean, what did you do on Friday evening, on Saturday and on Sunday? Did you have fun? Did you go to a party? Did you go camping? Did you go to the beach? Did you play computer games? Did you study for a test?

Here is what I did and didn't do. On Friday I went out for dinner. On Saturday I stayed at home. I didn't go out for a walk. In the afternoon I worked on the computer with three friends: Rita in Argentina. Dennis Oliver, our great friend and fan, in Phoenix, Arizona, and later I worked with Dafne in Venezuela. I didn't go out for dinner, but I went to bed early and read a lot. I love reading!

Now it's your turn to tell us what you did. I hope you enjoyed yourself!  

If you fee like (= te apetecer) practising verbs in the Simple Past in a fun way, here are two sets of exercises that I'm sure you will enjoy!

Regular verbs	Jigword (drag the piece)
Regular verbs	Speedword (spell the word)
Irregular verbs	Jigword (drag the piece)
Irregular verbs	Speedword (spell the word)

What we did in class

      Here's Pedro (6.D) telling us what we did in class in the first 4 weeks of the 3rd Term (Apr 10 - May 3). (There were two national holidays.) Good job, Pedro!
