How do I get to the library?
How can I get to the library?
To go to the school from my house - go along Peru Street, go straight on past the bank, then turn right and the school is in front of you etc.

The school is near the bank. (place)
Go down the street. (movement)
We also talked about how our project is going. So, Pablo and Marco have bought the seeds and planted them. Here´re the pictures of the progress:
As soon as we have the flowers ready to plant, the rest of the group has to buy the ready flowers later to plant.
Also Silvia has to buy fertiliser.
Your homework is - write 8 sentences using the prepositions (4 prepositions of place and 4 prepositions of movement).

Trimester III. Class 1. Monday 06/04
Hello
Today we started our Trimester III, our last term this year, although some students were still on vacations.
So, we started a new topic "Tell me about your town" and learnt some new vocabulary to describe the city/town/village:
crowded, quiet, noisy, modern, tourist, historic, industrial, cheap, expensive, cosy etc.
We also revised some vocabulary from the last year - places in the city/town: playground, bank, post office, circus, police station, airport etc.
We played Olympic Games and got first points:
Player 1 -
Player 2 - 13 points
Player 3 - 8 points
Player 4 -
Player 5 - 8 points
Player 6 - 13 points
Player 7 - 8 points
There´s a big shopping centre in my town.
There are a lot of parks in my town.
Your homework: choose a city/town/village that you´ve visited and describe it using the expressons and adjectives, bring photos to show it.
Example: I like Kyiv, this is the capital of Ukraine. It´s a big modern city. It´s very beautiful, but also noisy and crowded. It´s tourist and historic, because there are a lot of monuments, churches and cathedrals there. It´s green, because there´s a river and there are many parks there.
Here´re some photos of Kyiv:
We also discussed our plans for our project:
Finally we raised some money and decided to buy seeds (semillas) and a fertiliser (abono) to later plant them in the place near our academy.
So, Pablo, Marco and Silvia are going to buy seeds and plant them first at home. María is going to buy flowers later.
We made a list of things we´ll need for that (seeds, plants, a spade, a fertiliser, a plastic bottle to water the flowers etc).
Now, your task is - during this week to buy seeds and plant them at home; follow their frowing making photos, observing, writing in the diary etc.
Extra task: watch a small video about London and do the exercises in your notebooks (2 points each), make up 5 questions to the video (each correct question - 1 point):

Class 11. Monday 23/03. End of Trimester II
Hello
Today it was our last class in this trimester. To celebrate it we organised a Flea Market, a very funny and exciting activity. We decided to raise money for the charity organisation Design for Change or use it for our projects.
You brought lots of different things - second-hand books, toys, hand-made jewelery, home-made food and drinks. Wow! Great! You were real shop assistants and cashiers!
In the end, we earned 30,65 euros! Wow! So, we chose a money keeper (a person who´ll keep our money safely and will be responsible for it). This person is Silvia.
So, our plans are to use this money for our project - we decided to buy some plants and flowers (or to use the branches) and plant them. Next trimester we´ll trun to action!
Here´re our photos from the Flea Market.
