Christmas stuff!

Boxing Day!

Boxing Day is celebrated the day after Christmas, on December 26th. This day is a holiday in the United Kingdom and most other areas that were settled by the English except the United States. Other countries that celebrate the holiday include New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. 

Boxing Day has become a large shopping day. Just like Black Friday after Thanksgiving, Boxing Day is a day of big markdowns on products that stores were not able to sell for Christmas. 

No one is quite sure where Boxing Day got its start. Here are a few of the possible origins of the day: 

One possible origin is from metal boxes that were placed outside of churches during the Middle Ages. These boxes were for offerings to give to the poor on the Feast of St. Stephen, which is also celebrated on the 26th. 

Another possible origin is from when wealthy English Lords would give their servants the day after Christmas off as a holiday. They would also give them a box with leftover food or even a present on this day.

Enjoy Boxing Day!

4th Grade: Online English Class - Friday 3rd December

Morning to everyone,

Las sesiones de hoy van a ser a través del blog para que haya un equilibro entre las clases retransmitidas en directo y aquellas telemáticas para el alumnado que no haya podido conectarse a las primeras.

Empezaremos con una actividad de repaso en la que tenéis que unir, a través de una actividad online, los audios con sus palabras escritas. 

Además, en la siguiente actividad online tenéis que resolver una sopa de letras en la que hay que encontrar palabras de esta unidad referidas a los alimentos que hemos aprendido en esta unidad.

Luego tenéis que ver la siguiente historia de Steve y Maggie. No os preocupéis si no entendéis cada palabra, lo importante es captar la idea general. Estad atentos/as porque irán apareciendo preguntas en el vídeo en las que tenéis que ir seleccionando la respuesta correcta entre las que os muestran.

Por último, en el siguiente enlace os dejo una ficha para hacer de repaso. En la primera parte, tenéis desordenadas las palabras sobre la comida que hemos aprendido en esta unidad, al lado tenéis que ponerlas ordenadas. En la otra cara hay unos ejercicios sobre "SHOULD" y "SHOULDN'T": En el primero tenéis que leer las frases de las dos columnas y unirlas para que tengan sentido. En el segundo hay que leer las frases y rodear "should" o "shouldn't" según cada una. En el tercero hay que escribir frases dando consejos usando "should" o "shouldn't" según cada una de las frases que os dan. Esta ficha se puede imprimir y hacer en casa o podéis anotar las respuestas directamente en un folio, ambas opciones son válidas.

WORKSHEET

Si tenéis alguna duda, escribid en la sección de comentarios de esta entrada. Good luck!

See you in class.

December is here!
