Hi everybody!
Class IC prepared some great films in which they were supposed to teach me something interesting that they can do. I must say I found some of those things pretty complicated. See for yourselves.

St Valentine's Day

Leave it to the Brits!

Here is awesome advertisment made by Mini Car Comapany. Only British could do something like this!

Daniel's hobby

Back in 2009, when I was 8 years old, with the help of my dad, I made my first website. I made it by copying certain website elements, and customizing them. Being only text, it was very primitive and easy to make. In the future, I would like to make an online game written in HTML5.

The weather has been playing nasty tricks with us. One day it loos like spring, on another you wake up to see lots of snow covering trees, buszes, fences and roofs of buildings.
The English love talking about the weather beacause in Britain it is  changeable as well. They also have a huge range of expressions and idioms using vocabulary connected with climate and weather conditions. Here you can see a few. What do they mean?

At last a picture of Dominik's robot has reached us ! Here we are. Isn't it intriguing?

Hi all!
How are you in the New Year? Have you made any New Year resolutions? I have but they are top secret.

From today on Class IC will support me in editting this blog, so here is what Dominik has written about a robot he built some time ago.

Two years ago I built a robot. It wasn't very big. I made him using Lego Mindstorm brick set. I couls easily steer him using my phone or my computer. Building a robot from Lego blocks isn't complicated. In the future I"d like to build a robot from scratch, not using Lego.

I used to attach a camera to my robot and I had a lot of fun with it. It was a great experience.

Dominik promised to send us a photo of his robot. We are looking forward to seeing it.

In the meantime here is a link to the story The Crazy Computer for klas I E, who are working on a project connected with it:

THANKSGIVING WITH GRACELAND 2014

On Wednesday we were visited by four ladies from the USA and Canada. They are teachers from the School of English Graceland. They prepared worshops on Thanksgiving for us at which we sang songs, participated in a quiz about Thanksgiving and turkeys and did some craftswork. Finally there was a treat of hand-made pumpkin cookies and some Canadian cranberries. Having a chance to meet and talk to native speakers was a very interesting and challenging experience for us! We hope to meet the four ladies again soon!

A wonderful project by four girls from III E

Two weeks ago we discussed The Red Nose Day during our lessons with III E and as a homework the students were supposed to think of an idea of how to raise money during The Red Nose Day.
They had a number of fantastic ideas but the one that we all enjoyed most was "The Red Nose Quiz" prepared by the four girls whose names appear on one of the last slides.
 

Hi! Look what a wonderful Jack-o-Lantern Ola from I C has made!!!

Hi,
As Halloween is coming, I planned for this week practical exercises in making Jack-O-Lanterns. Unfortunately I got sick and we are unable to do it together, so I've decided to put the instructions of how to do it here followed witha little film about it. I hope you will try to use the instructions on your own and bring some photographs of your Jack-O-Lanterns to class.
See you next week.:)

You need: 1 short, sharp knife 1 dessert spoon 1 teaspoon 1 candle or tea-light Plenty of newspaper to protect work surface Large bowl for pumpkin seeds and flesh

Step One: Cut a circular hole around the stalk.

Tilt the point of the knife into the centre of the pumpkin. This will stop the lid from falling in.

Step Two: Scoop out the seeds and any loose flesh using the dessertspoon and the knife if needed.

Step Three: Sketch the face onto your pumpkin. Use a biro so any mistakes can be scrubbed off with a scouring pad or fingernail.

Step Four: Carefully cut out the features. Take small cuts and use a puncturing motion rather than a slicing one.

Step Five:Gently scrape away the flesh on the inside of the face until it is only 1cm thick.

Step Six: Using the knife, mark a circle the size of your candle or tea-light in the centre of the base. Step Seven: Carefully hollow out the marked area with the teaspoon.

Step Eight: Place your candle in the hollow, light it and replace the lid of your jack-o'-lantern.

Congratulations!!!

And the winner is..................... Mikołaj from IE!!!

Congratulations Mikołaj!

How bored I am !

Hi everyone!
It is Sunday afternoon and I,ve just thought that you might feel a bit bored, so perhaps you will have a minute to revise Present Continuous Tense with this little rap?

The first competition in 2014/2015!

Hi everyone!

Perhaps some of you already know this little gentleman, but if not, I would like you to meet Kid President, who will be talking about the words we all should use more often.

I would like you to listen carefully and remember as much as possible. In the next post on Monday I'll let you know what you are supposed to do to win the prize in the competition.

Have fun!
