English year 6

This week we'll begin watching the series Family Foster. Here you will meet Keith and his daughter Julia as they travel to different English speaking countries. This week we will follow them on their trip to South Africa. While watching we will gather words and phrases which we think might be useful.

We will also begin our preparations for the National tests in English, focusing on the spoken part of the test.
This means no homework this week! But on the other hand I need you to be as active in class as you can be! There is only one way (NO short cuts) to practice speaking English, and that is of course by speaking ;)
