APRIL 1st MEETING!

Hi, folks! Fernando did the homework I asked you to do and he wrote a nice explanation about our last meeting. Let me tell you I haven't even corrected because it was just great! Good job, my friend! Your english is getting close to perfect! By the way, I really enjoyed the meeting last day. It was very interesting and motivating. Let's keep it up! Just remember next meeting will be the 29th of April in Benifaraig, at Luis' primary school. I will send you more info in a few days. Now, enjoy Fernando's words!

See you soon!

Playing Australian football at IES Font de Sant Lluis "trinquet"

Last tuesday April 1st we had our monthly meeting. It was a nice evening in the IES Font de Sant Lluis. Vicente, our host, let us use his “trinquet” and even though it was a little and narrow place, finally we could manage perfectly in it. We started our meeting with an interesting game from Nacho, mixing language, movement and senses. Do you remember? We had to drive our blind mate through the court until the basket of professions. It was very funny to see all of you trying to explain your jobs only with movements.

Later we played “the dodge”. Two teams trying to hit the dodge with the sponge ball (in my stomach as possible, jajaja). Thanks Susana! Nice and funny game. After this, 1,2,3,4,5, 7,8,9,10 ... The Bomb!! Vicente made us laugh a lot. Good game to make our students remember to count in English, as fast as they can! When you arrive to 50 you have to say “bomb”, and the student that is holding the ball sits down on the floor. It was Gabi's proposal.

Vicent very concentrated!

Now, my turn (Fer). Do you know what Australia is? And what sport do they play? Australian football. Encourage your students to say: “Pass me the ball!” or “Kick the ball!” depending on if they use their feet or their hands.

And suddenly, the game of the evening! I thought Carles was joking... Touching my nose with my tongue? That’s weird! No way man! Ah ah ah! But, finally, I saw it was a good idea to keep students curiosity up! His main game was about passing the ball from one part to the other to try to score in the hurdles. And he was putting more and more balls.

The last game was Nuria's game. It’s called “The flag”. It’s a very nice and exciting game. I can tell you because we’ve played that game in our school many times and pupils just love it. The thing is we couldn’t make it work in our meeting. It was strange because we couldn’t find out what was the problem. We tried hard and we discussed about it in order to success but it didn’t work properly. Maybe there were some rules that didn’t work with adults –I guess!–. Anyway, Nuria and me are just now thinking about climbing games. No more flags, we promise!!

See you soon and enjoy your Easter holidays!
