Mission 2: A survey about frecuency

María Abilleira Pomar

They got it! Mission 2 is over.

In this new mission, students in Level 5 found out about the frecuency students in Level 6 do something at the weekend and wrote a short report.

Nesta ocasión, os alumnos de 5º averiguaron a frecuencia coa que os alumnso de 6º fan unha actividade durante o fin de semans e escribiron un pequeno informe. Para iso, tiñan que superar estes niveis:

To do so, they had to beat different levels working in pairs:

Level 1: Select a survey topic and write a questionare.

In this level, I previously explain what a survey is and why people do them. Furthermore, we learnt how to plan a survey.

Neste nivel, previamente expliqueilles que era unha enquisa e porqué se facían, Asemade, aprendemos cales eran os pasos fundamentales a seguir cando planificamos unha enquisa.

The main aim in this level was each pair to use their initiative to choose a survey topic and write the appropiate question.

Primeiro, tiveron que empregar a súa iniciativa para escoller o tema da súa enquisa e escribir a pregunta apropiada.

Level 2: Interview students in Level 6

Students used a tally chart as a method to collect information they needed. Then, counting the tally marks , they had to represent the information using a pie chart or a bar graph as instruments to help us understand the information.

The aim of this level was to develop children mathematical skills when they doing a tally chart and converting the data into a pie chart.

Para realizar este nivel, as parellas empregaron unha táboa de conteo como método para recoller a información e, para representar a información podían empregar ou unha gráfica de barras ou unha gráfica circular. O obxectivo neste nivel era desenvolver as súas habilidades en matemáticas.

Level 3: Write a draft.

Level 4: Prepare the report.

Level 5: Make an oral presentation.

Stayhome dialogues level 6

María Abilleira Pomar

We have to stay at home and we can’t see  talk to our friends. Nonetheless this must not be an impediment to achieve interesting activities as if we were at school. Here you have some dialogues acting out by students in level 6.

Aínda que temos que ficar na casa e nin podemos ver nin falar cos nosos compañeiros, iso non é impedimento para que poidamos realizar actividades conxuntas como se estivésemos no cole. Déixovos uns diálogos realizados polos alumnos de 6º.

1º ciclo, Challenges in Level 1

Little Great Interviewers

María Abilleira Pomar

The main aims of this new challenge in level 1 were:

To practise what they have learnt in context.

To involve all families in their children’s learning process .

To learn in a fun way.

On this occasion the challenge was purposed by the children after 1 week working with the “Question of the week”: What’s your favourite animal?

Each day, the lesson started as follows:

“If you want to come and join the class….Answer the Question of the week”


Once being familiar with the Question of the week and the vocabulary, I explained that they were going to become interviewers. In L1 we talked about why people do an interview (“get information”)and what we need to make it(“questions”). Finally,before interviewing two classmates  they prepared their interviews.

 

Here you have the first three interviews received.

 

Desta volta, a idea do reto foi a proposta dos propios nenos. Os obxectivos que nos marcamos con esta nova proba foron:

Practicar o aprendido en contexto.

Implicar ás familias no proceso de aprendizaxe.

Gozar aprendendo.

Durante unha semana, para familiarizarnos coa pregunta da unidade, soamente podíamos acceder á aula respondendo a pregunta da semana: What’s your favourite animal?

Despois de explicarlles en que consistía a nova actividade, falamos sobre o que era unha entrevista, para que se facía(“para obter información”)e que necesitabamos para poder entrevistar a alguén(“preguntas”).

Pero antes de entrevistar aos nosos compañeiros, preparamos as nosas entrevistas e practicamos na clase. Finalmente, decidimos a quen iamos entrevistar na casa e preparamos a entrevista para levar. A verdade é que o resultado foi excelente!!!

 

2º ciclo

We can talk!!!!

María Abilleira Pomar
Interviews can be a great resource for writing, speaking and listening practise in the ESL classroom. Especially when the interviewees are the older students. It’s an enriching experience!!!!
Before starting, we take a few minutes to do a grammar and vocabulary review in order to make sure if they know how to ask questions and the vocabulary they have to use.
Then, they have to establish the information they want to get and according to them, they prepare their interview questions on their notebooks.
It’s also beneficial to spend a few minutes talking about how they must conduct the interview, remembering some good interview manners like listening carefully or saying thank you at the end.
Now, we are ready!!!!!
