In this unit, we will make different projects: I have already explained one of them, that is, the creation and description of a hybrid animal; and the other project will be the creation of a lapbook or booklet about the animal classification (just the main classes we have learned at class).
If you click on the photo there will be a link to a website where you can see an animal lapbook. It was elaborated by children from Tailand. We will do this project in small groups.
Here you are another link to a similar animal classification lapbook, just click on the image.
El fin del aula de convivencia es:
1.-Reconocer qué normas se han incumplido.
2.-Reflexionar sobre los motivos que nos han llevado a actuar de una manera inapropiada.
3.-Recapacitar y plantear posibles soluciones, además de dar consejos para mejorar la convivencia en el centro.
In this unit, we are going to learn a lot of vocabulary of many jobs. Also, you will be able to talk about the different workplaces and activities which are connected to these jobs. In addition, we will relate this unit to the project we are performing in social science about the sectors of the economy.
Below, you have a very short video about the three sectors of an economy. Could you classify the different jobs into these sectors of an economy?
You can find lots of games to practise the topic of jobs if you click on the images. So, click on the pictures and learn English at the same time you enjoy!!
