Now we have to write the screenplay. Get energy for today!

Hi there!

I'm so sorry that I haven't writen before, but I've been really busy all these days preparing the launching of the album of my music band.

And, well, these days have been musical too :). We have been working with songs and have decided that our project for this trimester is going to be a musical short film of fantasy. We have chosen the songs that will appear in the film, but there's a lot of work to do from now!

We have been learning too the song of "Let it go", which is going to be the ending song of our project. Sincerely, you are really good at learning songs in English (specially if you like them). It's a fact that your pronunciation and comprehension have improved!

Here you have the video with the karaoke version. Practice!! :)

See you soon!

Hi there!!

First of all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!! Santa Claus has been kind with me and has given to me many presents (books, films, music...). What presents have you received?!

Tonight is a very special night. The Three Kings are coming with their camels carrying lot of presents for us and tomorrow we will be able to taste delicious King Cake. This year I am going to try to cook my own King Cake. I leave you the recipe that I am going to follow. I'll tell you soon the result! But, before that, here is the Christmas video that you filmed :). You did it a good job. Now enjoy it and show it to your parents and relatives!! Honestly, I am really proud of you. You did a great work in a very short period of time.

Hi, girls and boy!

Here you have the song that we are going to sing this week: "Santa Baby", sung by Taylor Swift. It sounds great, isn't it?

I leave you the lyrics, with the part that each one has to sing. Try to learn your part and translate it. Good luck!

I post the link too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGOBA4lE7Mg

Don't worry, you're not going to be alone. I'm gonna help you! :). You can sing with someone if you are going to feel better, ok? I think that Iratxe and Gema told me to sing together, so I have given them the same part. I think that's all. Remember, the dictionary is your friend!!! http://www.wordreference.com/ And the google translator is your enemy :).

SANTA BABY LYRIC.

Sara:
Santa baby
Slip a sable
Under the tree
For me
I've been
An awful good girl
Santa baby

Everybody:
So hurry down
The chimney tonight

Iria:
Santa baby
A '54 convertible
Too, light blue
Well
I'll wait up for you
Dear, santa baby

Everybody:
So hurry down
The chimney tonight
Yeah

Iratxe and Gema:
Think of all
The fun I've missed
Think of all the boys
I haven't kissed
Next year I could be
Just as good
If you check off
My Christmas list

Jessica:
Santa baby
I want a yacht
And really
That's not a lot
I've been an angel
All year
Santa baby

Everybody:
So hurry down
The chimney tonight

María:
Santa, honey
There's one more thing
I really do need
The deed
To a platinum mine
Santa honey

Everybody:
So hurry down
The chimney tonight

Laura:
Come and trim
My Christmas tree
With some decorations
Bought at Tiffany's
I really do
Believe in you

Everybody:
Let's see
If you believe in me

Alex and Carol:
Santa baby
Forgot to mention
One little thing
A ring
And I don't mean
On the phone
Santa baby

Everybody:
So hurry down
The chimney tonight

Hello there!

How are you? Are you ready to start your promising photonovels? Remember that we are going to make them with a special application of the tablet :).

These days we have been studying the past simple of the regular verbs and the past simple of verb to be:

Here you have the past of verb to be:

Watch the video to see some useful examples:

 If you want to find it, the name of the video is:

Past Simple: English Language

To say goodbye, I leave you with the song that we were coreographing on Monday. You can practise at home and think about the dance steps that we need to finish it!

The name of the song is: "All I want for Christmas is you". I think it is a cheerful song with a lovely message. Enjoy it :).

Hi there!

How are you? I hope you're fine and full of energy to take all the photos that we need for the photonovels!

Last week we were reviewing the past tense of verb to be. Watch this video about it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1VaMner9xs

This week we're going to review Present Continuous and There is/There are. We'll see as well how to form the past tense with regular verbs. I leave you here some notes of There is/There are:

There Are with ANY

When we want to indicate that a zero quantity of something exists we use there aren't any.

• There aren't any people at the park.
• There aren't any lampposts in my street.

We also use this structure with uncountable nouns:

• There isn't any water in the glass.
• There isn't any salt in my salad.

Questions

To form a question we place is / are in front of there.

Again we use any with plural questions or those which use uncountable nouns.

We also use there is / are in short answers.

• Is there a cat in the house? - No, there isn't.
• Are there any cats in the house? - Yes, there are.

How Many with Are There

If we want to find out the number of objects that exist we use How many in the following form:

How many + plural noun + are there (+ complement).

• How many cats are there in your house?

And to say goodbye, here you have two photos of your story :):

 

Hello everybody!

This week has been interesting. We have finished the stories for the photonovels and have started making the storyboards in order to know what photos we need to take. We have decided that you are going to tell your stories in twelve photos. It isn't going to be easy, but we are getting ready!

Remember, next week we have to finish the storyboard and make the costumes according to the character that you are going to be.

If we have time, we will work with this song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9UU5grBceM

I leave you with some useful notes about "There is" and "There are". In the next class you will do exercises about this and we will see better how to write questions with "There is" and "There are" and the use of "any".

Positive Sentences

We use there is for singular and there are for plural.

• There is one school bag in the classroom.
• There are three pencils in the pencil case.
• There is a roach in the bathroom.
• There are many people at the party.

Contractions

The contraction of there is is there's.

• There's a roach in the bathroom.

You can't contract there are.

• There are birds cats in the cage.

Negative Form

The negative is formed by putting not after is or are:

• There is not a horse in the field.
• There are not eight children in the school.

The Negative contractions are:

There's not = There isn't

There are not = There aren't
