ANIMAL WORLD: video

In this lesson, you will learn the name of the parts of the body of the animals. We have many things in common but we are really different. Let's watch this video, listen and read the vocabulary and enjoy it!

Which is your favourite animal?
 What has it got?

World Time zones

How many time zones has the world got?
What's your favourite time of the day?
If you were in London, and it's 9:00 in the morning, what time is it in New York? And in Tokio?

Driving on the beach

At the beach, we can do lots of activities: lying in the shade, collecting shells, drinking water, playing with a bat and a ball, playing Frisbee, and so on...
Let's watch if our friend Mr Bean can do some of these fun activities or not!

I Love SUMMER

ALPHABET SONG

Dear students, you can find here a funny way to learn the alphabet:

Another song to practice on pronunciation.

The ABC rock by Greg and Steve

The tortoise and the hare

Aesop was an ancient Greek storyteller. He lived 2500 years ago, around 550 BCE. 

There is an old legend that could be true that explain the following: 

Aesop was a slave who delighted his master with his stories. So, he was given his freedom and he became a free man. 

There are no records to prove that Aesop ever wrote anything down. Fortunately, many years after his death, people started to write down the fables Aesop collected, so they could be more easily shared.    

Over the centuries, Aesop's fables have been rewritten and published and illustrated and translated into almost every language in the world.  

I hope you enjoy this rewritten fable:

 The tortoise and the Hare"

Saint George and the dragon

There was a Dragon, a bully and the thief....
