PICK ENGLISH WITH TICs

Hi everyone,
Last week our students made their beautiful Christmas cards for their pen pals for Epsom, Surrey, England. They wrote some greeting messages and drew some Christmas and winter pictures on the front.
Last Saturday I woke up early, then I had breakfast a cup of coffee and some toast and took some pics of most of the cards.

After that I put them in different envelopes and I went to the post office. It cost me six euros each envelope and I paid by credit card. It was a busy morning for me.

Can you find all the irregular verbs in the past form in the text above?

Now look at the pictures and revise the vocabulary students have added to the pictures.

How do you say that in English?

Hi everyone,
We celebrate Constitution Day in Spain today and Immaculate Conception on Thursday what means we have two official days off to chill out and rest this week.
Constitution Day is a national public holiday and also Immaculate Conception.

It went into effect on the 29th of the same month.

The referendum was approved and it was the first step to reestablish democracy under the political form of parliamentary monarchy, after a long  dictatorship period which started in 1939 and ended in 1978. Before that ,"The fathers of the Constitution", politicians who had different political ideas, worked on a draft which was also approved by the Spanish Parliament on 31st October 1978. These political leaders represented a wide spectrum within the Parliament.

Good morning everyone,
Are modal verbs difficult to learn? What do they use them for?

Good afternoon everyone,
Do you know what a mind map is?
Mind maps can help students feel more confident, connect different ideas, simplify and clarify more important thoughts, memorise essential information and the most important thing for young children: stress the importance of creativity.
These are some of the mind maps that Year 5 students have created and presented. They have enjoyed this activity and have learnt a lot. Do you like them?

Good morning boys and girls,
How are you? I hope you are well.
Look at this piece of work about the harvest that our pen pals have sent us. 

Do you know that there are people with no homes?

Would you like to know more? They sent this to us to get more information.

Hi everyone,
England host France tonight in a friendly game in London. Wembley stadium prepares an emotional show of solidarity after the terrorist atrocities in Paris. 129 people died and a lot of were injured. French President Francois Hollande said yesterday that victims were of 19 different nationalities.
Last Friday England fans started a campaign to sing the French National anthem before the kick-off.
There will also be a minute's silence and floral tribute for the victims.

The captain of England, Wayne Roonie, said:"On behalf of the players, we'd like to give our condolences. Sad times, a lot of people losing their lives. I spoke to my club team-mates after it happened and it's hard for everyone, including for ourselves, and we have to be as respectful as we can and obviously there is a football match."

Hello everyone,
Our students are very happy because their pen pals from Stamford Green Primary school in Epsom, England, have sent these presentations to us.
These presentations show us their traditional "Harvest bake off".
We must say thank you for their work and their wonderful slides.
