A Survey, a Presentation and Picture Description.


Week 27th January

Well done! You did homework and your presentation on sports was OK.

Player 5, don’t get angry! You didn’t make the effort to write a composition. You only copied the information from the board. But, I gave you two points for your presentation of the sport.
Players 2, 3 and 4, well done!
Player 1, good. You worked hard but be careful because you make some mistakes. Pay attention and correct them!

After presenting the sport, we listened to the song “We are the Champions” and you had to fill in the gaps in the lyrics.

We also conducted a survey in the class.

·         What’s your name?
·         How old are you?
·         What year are you in?
·         What’s your favourite sport to practise?
·         When did you start?
·         How often do you practise it?
·         What’s your favourite sport to watch?



And we made questions and answers about a set of pictures. We practised present simple and present continuous.

Some of the questions you asked were witty (clever, intelligent, smart) and tricky (you tried to confuse your opponents)

·           In this picture there’s a woman, what’s she doing? She’s walking.
·           In this picture there’s a man, what does he do (what’s his job)? He’s a cook.
·           In this picture you can see a park, how many trees are there? There are three trees.
·           In this picture there’s a man, which room is he in? He’s in the kitchen.

If you want to remember how to use present continuous, you can practise it with Mr. Bean!

Here is the result of the Games!

We have learnt a lot about sports.

Name the places, equipment and clothes you use for the sports below:
Playing golf- skiing – ice hockey- aerobics- basketball- tennis- football- diving – boxing

Don’t forget to do homework!
For two reasons: it’ll help you to remember what we studied and also you’ll get 2 points for the Games!!

For homework you are going to tell the class about a sport. It could be your favourite or not. You can’t talk about football; choose a different one, Please!!

Write a little composition on a piece of paper, saying how you play the game, number of teams, place, equipment and clothes. Don’t forget to draw a picture or stick a photo.
