We begin a new week full of energy. All the English teachers in Escuelas Bosque have this message for you because we love you
Did you have a good weekend? What did you do? You can write to me about your weekend if you feel like it. I'll be pleased to hear from you.
My weekend was good. On Saturday I joined a course online and it was great because I could see many friends I had not seen from a long time. On Sunday I was doing my house chores and in the afternoon I read for a while, I talked to friends and family and I watched two films. It was a bit weird with the change of time because when we applauded for all the heroes that are helping us, we could see all the neighbours and that was great.
I am looking forward to being with you this afternoon at 5 o'clock through Zoom!!!
Until then we will continue with our programme. The next thing we are going to do is in your Student's Book page 71. I'd like you to write on a piece of paper exercise 4 and 6 and practise orally exercise 5.
No debemos olvidarnos de que este curso estamos dedicando más tiempo a la Educación Emocional.
A lo largo del curso hemos ido viendo pequeños vídeos relacionados con distintas emociones.
Hoy quiero compartir con vosotr@s, queridas familias, un vídeo precioso sobre la Amistad y la Amabilidad entre tod@s nosotr@s. Algo que trabajamos a diario en el cole y que hoy más que nunca es tan necesario.
How are you today? I am feeling fine. I still miss you a lot but it's one day less to see each other again. Fantastic!!!
I know you are keeping in touch through Skype and WhatsApp. That's great. Later on, I'll try to organise a meeting with you but not just now, ok?
Yesterday, we learnt that in Ancient Age there were three great civilizations: Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.
Today we are going to learn about Ancient Greece. They were an important civilization between the years 800 BC and the year 146 BC. That's nearly 700 years!!!
Ancient Greeks dominated the Mediterranean Sea and today we still have many important things from them. For example: Democracy, Philosophy,Theatre, Mathematics, Science, Architecture and sports: they invented the Olympic Games!!! They had many gods and goddess like Zeus, Poseidon, Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis, and a long etcetera.
They also invented the second oldest toy. Do you know what that was? The yo-yo, yes, the yo-yo was invented by Ancient Greeks and we still play with it!
But do you know what the oldest toy is? The doll, yes the doll and it was invented in Prehistory.
Now I'd like you to watch this short video about this amazing civilization and read in your book page 84, only page 84!
Are you ready to continue learning History? I know you are.
We all know that History began when we, humans, began to use a writing system. The use of a writing system put an end to Prehistory. This is a very important fact.
The first ones to have a writing system were the Egyptians but unfortunately in your book they don't talk about them. In my opinion, that's a big mistake so I want you to learn a little bit about this fascinating civilization.
Today we are only going to learn that Ancient History also called Ancient Age is the first period of History and it includes three great civilizations:
First, Ancient Egypt
Second, Ancient Greece
Third, Ancient Rome
You are now going to watch two videos. The first one is very short but it explains what the Ancient Age is. In the second video you are going to learn a little bit about Ancient Egypt. Let's go!
