 Wednesday 15 September ENGLISH

Today we are going to use our lessons to work on CLASSROOM and SCHOOL RULES.

As a reference, I will share this document with you. 

Here you can see the rules used by students at the school I used to teach in USA. I think we can get some ideas and vocabulary for our own classroom rules.

These rules were written before the COVID-19 pandemic, so we should not forget to include some rules related to prevention.

 We can get ideas from these songs, videos and worksheets:

With these videos we can learn more about this microscopic enemy that is causing huge damage all over the world. We will remember important recommendations to be protected at school.

There are lots of songs about this topic on the Internet. This is a very simple one with very clear and useful safety measures we should follow to fight the virus.

SONGS

Friends song

Beatles song

There are also a great number of other interactive worksheets to learn vocabulary about the pandemic and about the safety measures we need to learn and adopt to be protected throughout the year.

Here is a selection:
