This week’s free joker goes to the FIRST person to email me a story of 100words that includes the following words:

Pepper Crocodile Orange Forgot Soft

Who will win this week?

A free joker goes to the first person to send me a story of 100 words that includes the phrase…

…but it is yellow…

Are you ready?

How can you best prepare the new term? Here are some ideas:

– start getting up earlier – 9am at the latest, don’t worry too much about going to sleep earlier, you will start to do that automatically when you get up earlier, but remember – no screens after 10pm in the holidays, and 9pm in schooltime.

– Start reading – things that  interest you, and things in English, websites, magazines etc.

– Have a look at your vocabulary lists and ICD for next year, they are all ready and waiting for you on this site!

– Send me a message on facebook or an email (fabenglishteacher@gmail.com) to tell me what you’ve been doing this summer – in English of course!!

– Make sure you have lots of paper, ringbinders and everything you need for your pencil case.

 

What do you do to get ready for school? let me know!

 

See you soon,

 

Fab!

This blog is one year old today!

Since I set it up we’ve had over 6,000 views, from lots of different countries.

I know a lot of you use it to find work you have missed and check what you need revise, there are a lot of views before your tests!

As I’m sure you’ve seen, you have all your vocab lists, grammar lessons and lots of examples of work you have done.

What I need to know now is what else? Is there anything you would like to see on this website that isn’t here?

As you know the Cambridge examiner is coming this FRIDAY 2nd May.

Here are the times for the exams, I will be there and you can come and see me any time this week if you have any questions.

Try not to be nervous- you all have a very good level and you just need to show the examiner how good you are!
Enjoy it!

Your next presentation is on the USA.

Both classes have chosen different self-assessment criteria, however I will expect you to do the following:

-choose your subject
-research information & images
-write NOTES
-prepare and practice the oral presentation
-prepare poster or powerpoint (relember the t-shirt rule!)

On the day present your subject clearly, don’t speak too fast, use intonation, and NO paper to read; you can write your notes on the board if you need to.

Enjoy it 🙂

The 4eme learnt lots of new vocabulary today,can you guess what the lesson was about?
