Then, I read the book THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR. We practiced the days of the week and learned the vocabulary of food.

And they created a mini-book and repeated with simple sentences the story.

Last part, CLIL!!!

We studied the cycle of a butterfly with very simple sentences like The egg becomes a caterpillar. The caterpillar becomes a cocoon. The cocoon becomes a butterfly. The butterfly lays eggs.

They were so proud to explain in English the cycle.

Lesson Structure

Introduction (5 min)

Activate prior knowledge by asking students:

"What do you know about circles?"

"Have you heard about Pi (π)? What is it?"

Activity 1 – Listening and Completing (8 min)

Play video segment (0:02 - 0:59, twice).

Students complete a text gap-fill activity based on listening.

Correction and discussion of answers.

Activity 2 – Listening Comprehension & Discussion (10 min)

Watch the video segment (1:12 - 2:18).

Students answer the question: "What examples are used to explain Pi?"

Discuss answers: bike wheel, swimming pool.

Reinforce vocabulary and comprehension orally.

Activity 3 – Listening Challenge (5 min)

Play the video segment (2:48 - 3:00).

Back to work!

This week, with my pupils, we worked with the book THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR. Before Easter holidays, we had learned the days of the weeks with the song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36n93jvjkDs&t=5s

Now, I'm preparing a project about the 3 states of water.

First, I'm thinking about learning the song Incy Wincy spider to introduce the vocabulary of the weather.

I'm looking for simple materials about the cycle of the water.

Vidéo number one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=De0JKAFqCy0

I will play each exercise twice and we’ll correct them one by one

1-     Listen and complete (to 0.02 at 0.59)

Today we’d like to introduce a very famous number found in all circumferences and circles you see around you.

It’s number ……. . Number ……. Is a mathematical constant which indicates the relation between the perimeter and the diameter of the circumference but how can we describe this relation ?. It’s about fitting the diameter as many time as possible into the perimeter of the circumference. Let’s look here : one two three and a little bit more.

That’s it. We can fit three diameters into the circumference and a small part .14. That’s why we know that pi equals 3.14.

Go to 1.12

2-     Watch and answer the question (to 1.12 at 2.18 )

What examples does he give to explain ?

The wheel from a bike and a swimming pool

Do you need me to play it again ?

Have you all the answers ?

Go to 2.48 Hide the screen

So let’s continue with number 3

3-     Are you ready for the challenge ? (to 2.48 at 3.00)

Listen and write down as many numbers as you can :

Go to 3.18

So ….. How many digit have you found ?

What about you ?

4-     Listen and answer the following question

Which projects wouldn’t be possible without the number π ?

Engineering, mechanics, architecture…

Repeat

What’s the name of the job ? An engineer, a mechanic, an architect

5-     Now we’ve finished, let’s go back to number one for some pronunciation.

Pupil's guide

I will play each exercise twice and we’ll correct them one by one

1-     Listen and fill in the gaps

Today we’d like to introduce a very ……………. number found in all circumferences and …………… you see around you.

It’s number ……. . Number ……. Is a mathematical ……………….. which indicates the relation between the perimeter and the diameter of the circumference. But ………….. can we ……………………. this relation ?. It’s about fitting the ……………………. as many times as possible into the perimeter of the circumference. Let’s look here : one two three and a little bit …………… .

That’s it. We can …………………………… three diameters into the circumference and a small part ……………. That’s why we know that pi …………………….. 3.14.

2-     Watch and answer the question

What examples does he give to explain ?

3-     Are you ready for the challenge ?

Listen and write down as many digits as you can :

3.

4-     Listen and answer the following question

Which projects wouldn’t be possible without the number π ?

What’s the name of the job ?

By the way, I'm sharing this piece of news which might be very helpful to use for:

Grammar: second conditional: What would you do if you found someone doing this?

Conditional chain: student A: If I found someone doing this, I'd report them to the police.

Student B: If I reported them to the police, I'd.... (And the chain continues until the last student.)

Speaking: Ethics: Do these things happen in your city? What are the consequences?

Writing: Do's and Don't's.

Reading: jigsaw reading, running dictation, video predictions.

Vocabulary: Crimes- offences.

Lovin Malta on Instagram: "A viral video of a man cheating a BCRS machine with a bottle on a string is “irresponsible, unethical and illegal”, the company behind the machines said on social media.

“BCRS is aware of a recent post circulating on social media that depicts a person repeatedly violating the regulations and intended use of one of our RVMs,” the company wrote on Facebook this afternoon. “BCRS Malta Ltd strongly condemns this behaviour. Such actions are not only irresponsible and unethical, but also illegal as they constitute theft. The misuse of the system undermines the collective effort to promote sustainability, reduce litter, and encourage responsible recycling practices across Malta.”

The video, which has been reshared all over social media after it first appeared on a major Facebook group earlier today, shows the man in high spirits and he inserts and removes a plastic bottle over and over again before the container refund machine can even process it.

“We would like to remind the public that all return machines are equipped with CCTV, and footage is actively monitored by our control room team,” BCRS explained. “When misuse is detected, any fraudulent vouchers are cancelled before redemption, and all relevant footage is passed on to the appropriate authorities for further investigation and appropriate action.”

Going on to say it would be “assessing if damage to the machine has been done”, BCRS said “a software upgrade is being pushed to all RVMs today to deter further such acts from the machines”.

“While no system is completely immune to abuse, we remain committed to protecting the integrity of the Deposit Return Scheme,” the post finished. “We urge the public to use the BCRS system correctly and report any misuse through our official channels. Protecting our environment is a shared responsibility, and we thank the public for their continued cooperation and support in helping us maintain a fair and effective system for everyone.”

What do you make of this?"
