I used this  platform before when I taught at the apprentice school but I forgot about it until a friend from choir reminded me.
You can even add your own post, like Christine has.
I hope you like it and I look forward to seeing your comments or articles.
Bye for now - Rita.

Try free yoga classes with Adriene on youtube.
https://www.youtube.com/user/yogawithadriene
Yoga for seniors or quick 20 mins yoga is good for you and helps your English too as Adriene is American I think.                     So 2 birds with 1 stone.

There is a website called Puzzgrid, with lots of word puzzles in the same format..

Each puzzle has 16 words that you must put into four categories,       ( the online game gives you 3 minutes to do this )

Some words could perhaps go in two categories .... but there is only one solution.

You get 1 point for making the right groups, and 1 point if you know what the connection is, so a maximum of 8 points. .

Here is an example ...

Pepsi  Navy  Schweppes  Can-can

Indigo    Fanta    Hotel    Romeo

Lipton  Foxtrot  Salsa   Jive

Waltz   Tango   Turquoise   Violet

Can you see any connections ?   Can you see 4 groups of words ?

A rain of flowers
Birds and butterflies
Nature is splashing
What could be better

Sunset
The colours are mixed
Blue Pink Red Yellow Orange
The sun is shining

Sun and calm blue sea
Nobody on the sand
Seagulls are alone

and a more serious one from Coralie at the hospital

Containment sucks
but
The war is not over yet
Please, for all, stay home

Anyway thanks for all your verses I haven;t room to put them all
Keep busy and healthy and try to do a bit of homework;
See you when I can

One afternoon, a man found a penguin in his garden and took it to the police station.
He asked the policeman ...
"Where can I take this penguin ?"
The policeman replied " If I were you I would take it to the zoo. "
So the man took the pengiuin to the zoo.
Two days later, the policeman was surprised to see the man walking in the town, with the penguin. He asked " Why didn't you take that penguin to the zoo ? Take him there now ! "
The man smiled and said " But I have already taken him there. This morning we are taking him to the museum, this afternoon to play golf; and this eveing we are going to take him to the cinema. "

Hi Rita - Padlet seems good but there's a lot of varied information.  Am I doing the right thing publishing this ? Has anyone got two or three geranium cuttings for me to plant on the balcony ?

If you find the Haiku form too difficult, here is another idea from Nathalie. You start each line of your poem with a letter of a word. For example, my word is dogs.
dear
old
grumpies
sleep

Thianks Nathalie for your poem about Friday. Now let's see your poems !

F irst day of confinement
R emember, it was exciting !

How to write Haiku ? It's easy ! The first line must have 5 syllables, the second line, 7 and the third line, 5.
My example below inspired some students

No cars and no feet,
Making noises down my street,
But birdsong is sweet !

About the birds
I have seen one medium.sized black and white bird on the lawn.
You remembet the nursery rhyme

One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
Four for a boy

What is it??
