enjoying sharing learning
This week’s teatime :)
Hi!
How are you this week? Things calming down a little? Come and tell me about everything at 4pm every day here.
Strange Times
Many of us are feeling strange at the moment, we were happy when school closed, but now we realise this isn’t a holiday – we can’t go to the cinema or hang out with friends, our parents and teachers say we have to continue learning, our routine has disappeared and we realise we quite liked our routine, it was easy and comfortable.
So what do we do now? Here are some suggestions to make the most of this situation:
1. Get some sleep! Yes you will have chance to sleep a little later in the mornings but keep bedtime reasonable and take this opportunity to catch up on some sleep!
2. Get outside! You can’t hang out in town with your crowd but a bit of exercise, even just a walk, in the fresh air will do you good for your body and brain!
3. Get a Routine! As from Monday morning your teachers will be sending you work regularly, this is a brilliant opportunity to try out modern learning techniques and work more at your own speed.
4. Keep in touch!Everyday I’ll be in my virtual classroom in Zoom to share a chat and a cup of tea with you, just click here
Feel free to contact me by mail or pronote, I’ll be sending you plenty of things to keep you busy 🙂
Vocabulary Challenge!
If you come to class with a word that Mrs Harris doesn’t know you win a JOKER!!
*You must be able to spell it and explain what it means, for example by using it in a phrase.
Another Joker
For this week’s joker you can choose your level:
- Today I’m wearing…… My favourite clothes are……
2. The black hat ( write a story that includes a black hat)
Hello 2020!!
I’m so looking forward to seeing you all again after the holidays, I doubt anyone needs a joker yet but if you want to flex your English brain a little you can do the following:
Write me a letter – tell me about your holidays and your resolutions for 2020, here’s mine:
Dear Students,
I spent the holidays with my family, we had visitors from England. We went to the Christmas market in Bastions, and we went skiing on Boxing day (26th December). For New Year’s eve friends came to our house for a delicious dinner – no, I didn’t cook! I spent the holidays working (planning lessons and writing chapters for a future textbook) and reading, here I am:
I went to the cinema three times, I saw Star Wars, Jumanji II and Little Women.
My Resolutions are to go swimming every week, run twice a week to train for a race in May, and finish writing a book for teachers that I’m working on.
Have a brilliant 2020,
Best Wishes from Mrs Harris!
Want another joker?
For an extra joker this week write a letter to Mrs Harris about Autumn, you can include a poem if you like and a picture too!
Need a joker?
The end of term is arriving and many of you need a joker to make up for forgotten books or homework!
The objective of homework, and these jokers is for you to think in English for a little moment outside class, this greatly improves your English level IN class.
As you haven’t had time to do the English I asked you to do outside class, tell me instead when you did « meet » English this week;
Write a list of moments you spoke/heard/read or wrote English outside class this week and give it to Mrs Harris 🙂
The first Joker of Autumn!
To win a joker this week, choose a country and write a postcard telling Mrs Harris why she should visit this country 🙂
