Christmas gathering

This year for Christmas we organised a Christmas gathering. The students performed one short play in Macedonian and one in English. A group of students sang some traditional Christmas carols in both languages and the parents contributed to the event by providing home made food. The guest of honour was the British ambassador to Macedonia  Charles Edmund Garrett with his family.

English corner in the classroom

It's always important to display the work of the students so that the others can see them and the students themselves can feel proud of their work.
However, during the holidays we tend to make the English corner a bit more interesting and funny.
This is what we did this year for Christmas.
I used photos of the kids and a paper doll template of Santa and Mrs. Santa :)

Incy Wincy Spider - play

The students did a great job. Most of them are in the second grade and only a few in the forth grade. They did everything in English. Thanks to the parents for the costumes. We had a great time! :)

TEA PARTY games

TEA PARTY - food, games, fun and learning

We organised a TEA PARTY. We invited some of the other teachers. The students' parent prepared the food. We made the decorations - Alice in Wonderland theme party. We created our own photo booth and we took some great photos. We played games:

1. Put the cherry on top - draw a big cupcake on the board or on a piece of paper. Make the contestant close his/her eyes and try to put the cherry on the top of the cupcake.
2. Draw the teapot - allow the contestants to look at a teapot for 30 seconds, then make them close their eyes and with their eyes closed they should try to draw the teapot on a piece of paper.
3. Tongue twisters - each contestant needs to say the tongue twister three times. The one who does that best is the winner;)
4. Charades - make up sentences, write them on a piece of paper and have a good laugh while the pairs try to act out and guess the sentences.
5. Guess the type of tea - choose a few tea bags with a strong scent.Put them on a tray, then ask contestants to try to guess the type of tea by only smelling it with their eyes closed.
6. Tea tray memory - put a few object on a tray, ask contestants to look at it for 30 seconds then take the objects away and ask them to put the objects in the correct order again
