What an interesting mission!This time, they had to write about school timetables and their favourite school day and favourite subject.
It was a great opportunity for us to get to know each other better.
The mission had different levels:
Level 1: Complete your timetable
Level 2: Write a draft
Level 3: Prepare the writing
Level 4: Make an oral presentation
It is time for World Mission 2.
Are you reɑdy? Reɑd the instructions ɑnd press START.
I would like to start this new year sharing with all of you these terrific works done by students in Level 2 because they have made a great effort during the first term.
Enjoy them.
The last part of World Mission 1 involves presenting students’ works and analizing them. It “allows students to develop a deeper insight into the quality of their own work through the assessment of peers’ work. Students take responsibility for assessing the work of their peers using the assessment criteria.”
What are the pros?
Excerpt from the article “Peer assessment” published by Learning and Teaching Hub @Bath
A derradeira parte da misión consiste en presentar os traballos e analizalos. Isto permite ao alumnado desenvolver unha visión máis profunda da calidade do seu propio traballo a través da avaliación do traballo dos seus compañeiros. Os estudantes asumen a responsabilidade de avaliar o traballo dos seus compañeiros utilizando os criterios de avaliación.
Cales son as vantaxes?

World Mission 1 in Grade 6 is over. Although it was a long hard task, the final leaflets were awesome.
This time our work plan promoted single and group working. The goal of this mission was not just carrying out the task, but they had to learn how to work in small groups giving their best.
Working in a collaborative way has a variety of benefits, including increasing students’ self-esteem and responsability. And I must say that it got to know each other a little bit better and we could learn more about our skills and strengths.
A nosa primeira misión en 6° está rematada. A pesares de que nos levou o seu, os folletos finais quedaron xenial.
Desta volta o noso plan de traballo incluía tanto o traballo individual como en pequeño grupo. O obxectivo da misión non era soamente realizala, senón que os rapaces foran quen de traballar xuntos dando o mellor de si.
O traballo colaborativo ten moitos beneficios no alumnado, incluindo o aumento da súa autoestima e da responsabilidade. Teño que recoñecer que nos permitíu coñecernos un pouco millor e aprender sobre as nosas habilidades e fortalezas.
Game is over! Our first mission is completed……..
………….and we are ready for the next adventure.
But before starting a new game, a brief summary is given below. Enjoy them.
As always, this type of activity also allowed us to check, learn and improve.
World Missions 1 in Grade 4 and Grade 5 are ready.
After completing them. you will earn some coins. It is no difficult but you must read the instructions carefully and move up through the different levels. You will complete the mission only when Yoshi turns red.
Writing in English is relatively difficult for students because English spelling is not predectible or consistent. On the other hand, in the first levels of primary, as students are still learning how to read and write in their mother tongue, developing this skill is a hard work. So, we usually focus all our attention on the oral skills and sometimes the writing skills are pushed into the background.
But I think its is necessary to develop the four skills in an integrated way from the earlier grades, so we can start working these skills with some easy activities such as copy list of words, create pictures dictionaries, build words with magnetic letters, match flashcards and word cards, trace or complete words, label pictures, complete short simple sentences,.. in the lower levels of primary.
Moreover, we have to bear in mind the importance of creating a supportive and safe ambiance where students feel comfortable. because the activity itself shouldn’t the aim of our work, but to achive communication.
We are taking our first steps in this process and here you have our school objects portfolio.
Escribir en inglés é relativamente difícil para os rapaces, sobre todo nos primeiros cursos de primaria. Por un banda, aínda están a aprender a ler e escribir na súa propia lingua materna e, por outra banda, a lingua inglesa non é unha lingua silábica como a nosa e non ten regras ortográficas tan regladas. É por iso polo que normalmente centramos os nosos esforzos en traballar primeiramente as habilidades orais e deixamos relegadas a un segundo plano as habilidades escritas.
Creo que é necesario traballar as catro habilidades de xeito integrado dende os primeiros cursos así que actividades como crear lista de palabras, completar diccionarios ilustrados, construir palabras con letras magnéticas, completar frases, repasar ou completar palabras, xogar con tarxetas ilustradas e con tarxetas de palabras,.. poen ser empregadas.
Ademais, crear un ambiente en que os nenos se atopen seguros e cómodos é fundamental polo que a actividade en si non debe ser o obxectivo do noso traballo senón conseguir comunicarnos
