Good afternoon Class! Today was really intense - WELL DONE for not going grammar crazy! We looked at all the different reasons for using the present perfect.
We began with: BECAUSE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT LIFE EVENTS
We listened to a song ('Have you ever been in love' by The Divine Comedy') and identified some of the verb 3s (past participles)
Hello Class,
Today our grammar focus was countable and uncountable nouns and the quantifiers which we use with them. We began by identifying some objects as countable or uncountable such as...
a paper (countable)
sugar (uncountable)
perfume (uncountable)
paper (uncountable)
We looked at some nouns which can be both countable and uncountable...
These were some common errors you made during class... remember these!
We moved on to talk about strange things that people eat. We did a reading exercise and learnt these new words...
We discussed the most unusual foods you have ever eaten. The most unusual food I have ever eaten is chickens feet. They were so chewy and DISGUSTING!
After break we talked about quantifiers and tried to put them into three categories...
Countable, uncountable and both.
We used these quantifiers to make lots of sentences when we played this board game...
Can you make a sentence for every square??
Some of my favourites were...
Pirates have a great deal of rum
Hollywood films have too many violent scenes
Hannah doesn't have any money in her bank account!

Hello lovely students, Today we talked about modal verbs of obligation. We began by looking at some class rules...
We talked about the difference in meaning between the modals and thought of some examples for things you must / mustn't / should / shouldn't / have to / don't have to
a) In the army
b) When you meet your partner's parents for the first time
We talked about the very small difference between 'have to' and 'must' in some situations...
Have to = a rule someone else gives you
Must = a rule you give yourself
We got some tips on how to be rich from a listening exercise...
They forgot 'you should marry someone very rich'!!
We talked about what a perfect English school should be like. You said...
The school should have free wifi, vending machine and a water fountain.
Students must speak English and do their homework.
Teachers shouldn't be late or use facebook in class.
The school must be free!! (But someone MUST pay my salary???!!) For some more practice click here.
After break you designed your own English schools, 'The Londoner', 'Real English School' and 'The Deep End'. You discussed what your school would be like - Name, slogan, facilities, accommodation, social activities, location, price etc. Then you presented your school to the class. You did brilliantly, well done!
Your homework is to design a comic strip using eight modals of obligation. It is due tomorrow, good luck!
Hello everyone, Happy Friday!! Today we began class by talking about age. We decided that 70+ is old, although it can depend on your own age (It isn't objective). We listened to some other people's opinions on the CD and learnt some new vocabulary... Next we looked at some grammar... modals of ability. We studied...
Can / Can't / Could / Couldn't / Be able to / Not be able to / Manged to / Didn't manage to
After that we talked about idioms. Idioms are non literal phrases. In other words, you can't translate them because they would confuse and bamboozle you! You matched the idioms with their literal meanings...
Then you became actors and made some short dramas using the idioms as inspiration. We guessed which idioms you were acting out. The best drama was by Marcus, Anna and Santi (congratulations on your Delfin dollers!)
Guys your homework this weekend is to write an essay of no less than 150 words about the best or worst teacher you have ever had. Good luck and enjoy your weekend!
Hello Students! OK so today started off with a technological disaster! Here are the videos I would have shown you if we had had sound...
Matilda (1996)
Dead Poets Society (1989)
What are the differences between the two teachers? Which teacher would you prefer to have? Which of the adjectives below could you use to describe the teachers in the clips?
We talked about different forms of the same words and the endings which are usually specific to certain types of words.
Good afternoon Class, Today was our first full lesson together. Our topic for today was education and learning. We started by matching some collocations related to education. Here is the board...
We SHOUTED some sentences to each other and fitted the collocations into the sentences.
Next we did a listening exercise and looked at loads of new vocabulary. Here is the board...
After the break we studied some grammar, subject and object questions. Here are the rules...
