WORKSHOPS WITH PARENTS: USA & UK with Kari and Simon

This morning we had a very special English session in Mikado and last Wedenesday in Mastermind: Kari and Simon came to our class to talk about their countries: the USA and the UK.

We first noticed that their accent is very different from Ross's and between them. Kari is from the USA, Simon is from the UK and Ross is from Australia. So we had the chance to listen to three different English accents in the same classroom!

Kari and Simon have talked about the location of their countries and about such other general information as number of people living there, size of the country, currency used there... But they've also talked about their landscapes, landmarks, typical food, sports and music.

We've also had the opportunity to check what we know about these countries with them.

Thanks Simon and Kari for your time and concern!

WORKSHOPS WITH PARENTS: HALLOWEEN with Mark Carr

Halloween is a very popular festival celebrated on 31st October.

On Halloween people carve pumpkins and make Jack O'Lanterns.

On Halloween kids wear fancy dresses. They dress up like monsters, vampires, ghosts, skeletons, spiders, zombies, mummies, witches, werewolves...

They play trick or treat: they knock on their neighbour's doors and get candies (sweets). 

They also have a party.

Look at the videos:
