HALLOWEEN RECIPE

These are great fun to make, and delicious to eat! They make a good activity for a Halloween party too - just provide a bowl or two of melted chocolate and the necessary decorations and let the kids loose on their own treats.

Ingredients:
-Marshmallows
-White chocolate chips or white chocolate
-Silver ball cake decorations or similar
-Writing icing
-Strawberry laces (optional)

Directions:

Melt the white chocolate or white chocolate chips in a glass bowl in the microwave, or over a saucepan of simmering water. This takes a minute or two.

While you are waiting, start making your ghosts. Thread a couple of white marshmallows onto a lollipop (popsicle) stick for each one. Now dip the ghosts into the melted chocolate and swirl them around to cover the top of the ghosts' "heads". Bring them out and lay them flat on a paper plate for the chocolate to harden, pushing a couple of silver balls on for eyes before it does.

Use a tube of writing icing to draw on a mouth and any other features you would like. Keep in the fridge until you need them.

To make the ghouls, use either white or coloured marshmallows. Thread one on per stick. Add some green food colouring to the chocolate and then swirl the marshmallows in it as before, this time covering as much of the surface as possible. Use silver balls for eyes, but this time add some other decoration too: we used strawberry candy strands for hair and would have added chocolate drops for ears if we hadn't eaten them all already! Leave to harden as before.

Video making

We can do this reciepe at primary school with the children. It's a good activity to improve kitchen and food vocabulary and it's very funny too!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!!!

Brown bear, brown bear...what do you see?

Children love stories and what better way to bring them the English that english stories!!
One of my favorite stories for three, four or five years is... BROWN BEAR!

I have based my blog with that book. In my practise at school I heared a teacher while she was telling the story to the children. They were very expectant the book. The best of the book is that is very repetitive and the studets retain it fast.

The book unfolds through a question and answer. It starts with a brown bear and the pictures are very good.

Yo can see the video, but at the time of telling to the children you can use the intonation that you prefer, It could be like a song for example.

There are a lot of book like this but with other verbs and animals.

Have a good week!!

English for Children

Methodology to teaching English:

Good afternoon everybody!

I'm going to speak about methodologies to teaching English at younger ages.
Firts, I think that the best methodology that we can use at the class is the routine. If our children are everyday hearing a lot of routine expressions in English they will start to repeat that routine expressions.

We have to expose children to English in many areas at the classroom:
