🚌 Let's Move! Our First Mission 🚌

 


HELLO CLASS!!! ☺️☺️


Welcome to our 4th grade blog! Are you ready for the adventure explorers? Let's go then!


To be a good explorer, you need to know how to travel. 

How do you usually travel?

By bike?      By train?     By metro?      By bus?         On foot?

Tell your partner how do you usually get to school and which is your favourite transport in the city. 






Now let's dance a little bit with this SUPER FAMOUS song!

The wheels on the bus


Notes for the teacher:
Students are working in pairs the last 10 minutes of the class. They are directed to this entrance of the blog and they read and answer the questions together. The teacher assists with possible doubts.
Once all the pairs have discussed how they get to school and which is their favourite means of transport, the whole class continues with the activity related to the song.

The teacher will first play the video and the song so students can infere meaning by watching the images and the gestures shown. Later, the teacher will use Total Physical Response methodology, developed by James Asher, who stated that when students respond physically to the language they hear, they get a lot of comprehensible input. Therefore, students will respond physically to the teacher commands, for instance: "go round and round, open and shut, etc.". 

The purpose of this activity is to introduce city transport vocabulary and practice vocabulary pronunciation through TPR. This will help students associate English words with physical actions, improving memory.
