Video Activities Primary 5

This year in Primary 5 we are doing a video activity every week. The video Activities consist in playing a video in class to create a reaction and then we do a small questionnaire and the students and I discuss the videos and what they thought of them.

This way we practice vocabulary and grammar structures in a different way.

Here you can see some of the videos we have done so far this year:

Simon's Cat

What does the fox say

Iron Baby

Dragon Baby

Anamorphic illusions

Emotional Baby

Aquest any a Prmary 5 fem una “video activity” cada setmana. Les “Video Activities” consisteixen en veure un vídeo a classe per provocar una reacció i després contestar preguntes sobre el vídeo que hem vist. Discutim el vídeo i si ens ha agradat o no. D’aquesta manera practiquem vocabulari i estructures gramaticals d’una manera diferent.

Aquí podeu clicar per veure alguns dels vídeos que hem treballat.

More numbers

It's important for kids to learn by touching. That's the reason why we made numbers with plasticine.
És important pels nens i nenes aprendre tocant. Per això vam fer aquests números de plastilina.

On Fridays the Primary 1 students are working with numbers. In order to practise numbers we watched this video and sang along. Why don't you parents sing with them? Ask you child to teach you the song.

Els divendres amb els alumnes de Primary 1 estem treballant el números. Per a practicar hem vist aquest video i hem cantat la cançó. Perquè vosaltres pares no canteu amb ells? Demaneu-li al vostre fill o fill que us ensenyi la cançó!
