I hope you enjoyed your graduation. And I also hope I see you some of you this afternoon. Not all of you, I know some students are gone for the summer or for a holiday.

Anyway, it was too bad about the play, because you were doing very well. Maybe next year you can
perform it.

Today we'll be watching stories and playing games.

What's your favorite fairy tale?  My favorite fairy tale is Pinocchio.  What's Pinocchio about?

It's about a wooden puppet.
There is an old man in the story.
The wooden puppet has many adventures.

Those are clues: they tell you a little bit about the story so you can guess the story.


HOMEWORK

Choose your own story and write 3 clues. 

There are many stories you can choose from: Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White and the 7 dwarfs, Hansel and Gretel, The Princess and the Pea, The Three Little Pigs, The Beauty and the Beast, and so on.

Here is a link to a video with fragments of fairy tales: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPc05lcrkdQ

Hello!

I hope you had a good time yesterday.

In our last class the students got together with a group of older students who had planned some activities related to the summer holidays. Summer is almost here. Well, it is so hot that it feels like summer already.  Chidren are very excited now they are getting to the end of the school year.

Here is a task for you. It will help you for next week´s test.

HOMEWORK:

Write about an imaginary family. (At least four people, parents and two children, a pet if you want).Say:
What do the parents do? What does each one do in his/her job? Where do they work? Do they like their jobs? What qualities do they need to do that job?
What are the children like? Talk about their qualities.

 Example
We are four in our family, my parents, my brother and I. And our cat Cookie, of course. 
My mother is a waitress at a restaurant. She serves dinners from Tuesday to Sunday. She works from five to ten in the evening. She is very fast and friendly and her customers like her very much.
 My  father is a factory worker. He works in a car factory. He is very patient, but he doesn´t like his job very much. He wants to have a shop.
My brother is ten years old. His name is Paul. He is strong and runs very fast. He likes sports, but he is not a very good student. 
And I am Amy, I am 12 years old. I am very nice and have many friends. People say I am clever and talkative. I like reading books and going out with my friends. 
Do you want to know about Cookie? He is lazy and unfriendly, he sleeps all day, but we like him because sometimes he is sweet and playful.
That is my family, is it very different from your family?
