Writing recipes / Decorating the English corner in the classroom

When we learn about food we often like to try different recipes and do some cooking in the classroom. With the fifth grade students what we did first was making some pancakes - not entirely healthy food but there were some homemade ingredients :)




Then, we discussed the procedure and the students presented the recipe.



On the next lesson the students worked in groups and wrote the recipes on pieces of paper and decorated them accordingly. 



When their recipes were ready we used them along with some photos from the previous lesson to decorate the English corner in the classroom

SCHOOL BAZAAR - Learning can be fun!

In the fifth grade I use the book Welcome 2. My students and I got inspired to make our own School Bazaar after doing Unit 5. The difference is that we didn't sell the food, but we all ate it together. The parents of the students prepared it all after we did the research and found all the recipes. The bazaar was on American and British food followed up by some nice games and activities. We invited some of the other teachers to be our guests and take part in this event. My colleagues were required to play the games and use their English:) I always like when students see how other teachers use English, and how important it is to know another language.
You might think that we had a lot of unhealthy food but I promise that it was only this one time.
The games that we did:
1. Pin the tail on the donkey.
2. A ring toss game
3. Close your eyes, touch the animal toy and name the animal
4. Guess how many beans are there in the jar.
5. Dart
