As a final conclusion, I can say that kids have learnt a lot while having fun.  We could work hard on the negative form and new vocabulary was acquired really fast!
I could make almost all of them participate at least two times, which made them reinforce their learning.
As a thing to improve: Next time, I will invite them to dramatize or role play. During my observations, I felt they were not so participative, but while giving the lessons, I could notice they were eager to become involved in the activity!

On my second day, Kids were very enthusiastic with the idea of having me again in front on the class!

The lesson was also based in the Communicative Approach.

I was nervous, but less than the day before.
Lesson developed as expected again. Students behaved excellent -This made the clasroom develpment even more easier!-
The use of a song presented in a meaningful context was totally appealing for the children.

When I asked them if they remember the story about the Gruffalo, they started retelling it and they could remember every single detail of it.
During the learning of the song, they were laughing a lot... One could notice that they were a bit shy or embarrased but that they were enjoying the moment!

As regards the listening activity, some of them felt quite confident to write the missing words!

The idea of giving the a present to take home was fantastic. Kids were thrilled about taking a book to colour and read at home!

Luckily , Luli, the teacher, was really nice not only with the commentaries about my lessons, but also with me... so I had the advantage of having an incredibly nice atmosphere to work!
She stayed sitting down at the back, recording everything and also laughing and smiling a lot!
Students were friendly with me, many of them rememember me from their Kinder Days.
Timing and lesson development was as I have expected! Or even Better!

IT WAS AN EXCELLENT WAY TO START!

The use of the story in the first lesson was awsome, kids were realliy enthusiastic and followed it easily! And after reading it, they could not stop sharing their views and examples.
Students were really involved in all of the activities.  Everyone wanted to participate and share their creations. I had to leave some examples aside so as to continue working.
After break-time, I did a short game to call their attention and it was perfect because in a short time they were all interested in what I was saying and in the mood to work!

I can firmly say that it was quite a successful class  and that I spent a beautiful morning!
I am looking forward to seeing them again tomorrow!

I have came across with the story THE GRUFFALO some years ago and I believe it was love at first sight!
As I think it is a plot that suits all ages, I figure it out that it would be a fantastic idea to base my lessons in this story, complementing it with what they are learning at the moment (simple past- negative form-negative form in questions).
The planning is based on the Communicative Approach.

As you can see in the picture below, their classroom is full of English posters. There is also a Smart TV, which I will be using and the classroom is nice and mostly decorated by the students.
Students are not as participative as I would like, but their English level is very good. I believe that most of them prefer the written activities and individual ones.
When they return from break-time, I can see it is definitely necessary to do something to re-create a good atmospere.
There are some students that need special attention as well as further and one to one explanations.
Overall, the behavior and attitude towards learning is very good.
