Good job with your homework most of you! It is good to get used to real English. That way, when you go to an English speaking country you'll be ready for them.

Yesterday we started to learn how to talk about the weather in English. Not that you didn't know anything about it, most of you did, but we are studying it more in detail.

I think everybody knows the question we ask when we want to know about the weather:

What's the weather like? That's the name of our topic.

If we want to talk about the temperature, from very hot to very cold we can say in this order:


Absolutely boiling, very hot, quite warm, quite cool, very cold, 

absolutely freezing.

We listened to a recording and then practiced the pronunciation of those words.

Then we were learning countries in Europe: Spain, France, the UK, Germany, Norway, Italy, Iceland, Austria, Portugal, Russia. Am I leaving out any of the countries we outlined in the map?
Hey, students already knew most of their capital cities: Madrid, Paris, London, Berlin...

At the end of the lesson we played a game on the computer. Students had to listen to a weather forecast and then drag the weather symbols to the right country flags.

HOMEWORK

Write your own weather forecast for 6 countries in Europe. You can say things like:

Ex: In Spain it is sunny and quite warm.
.
To get ideas you can check this link. It's the game we played in our class. http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/es/fun-games/whats-the-weather

You can also play this game and learn the symbols for different types of weather:http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/es/fun-games/weather-maze
 Play the maze once and then draw the symbols you followed in your notebook.

Have a nice week!
