THIS OLD GUITAR by John Denver.

How to form the Simple Past.

Watching this video and hearing this song wll help you learn how to use the Simple Past form of the verbs in English.
 Listen to it several times and read carefully the explanations below. Don´t discourage if you don´t understand it all at first. You can use the dictionary if you need it.
How about learning the song by heart? It´s a nice easy song and could be great fun  having "some little performances" in the classroom to show your abilities as pop stars.
Come on! Go it! You can join some class mate and have a go.
(There may be some "rewards" in the term marks)

What really killed the dinosaurs

DINOPROJECT

Hi,children

Don´t you think our English corner is a bit dull lately?
Let's colour it a little!
You probably remember what we've recently studied about dinosaurs, don't you?
Well, in the link below I suggest a project that will bring some "spring light" to our classroom...
I hope you like it, but look out for kid-meat eaters!!
