This was my favourite lesson  as I could really  provide a meaningful context to revise  all we have learnt in a previous unit.
We watched a video ( I couldn't attach the link) to list the problems that our planet faces and try to find possible solutions. We used the structure should/shoudn't to do so and then we talked about the 3 R's: reduce.reuse.recycle at the same time we revised vocabulary on recycling, not recycling and reusing items. We played two games  in groups: the "reduce-reuse.recycle sort game" and  the "Let's recycle sorting game". They chose a name for each group.
We watched a video and sang its song to  be aware  of what Earth needs us to do.
They created in groups a sign  giving advice to the rest of the school in order to save our planet.
Finally each of them received a pin with a sign on it to wear on their tshirts to start a campaign around the school.

Thursday came and another practice came along. I decided to use my notebook to do the recording. I wanted to avoid possible cuts, but I had to explain children I was using it to record a task I needed for my studies and they wouldn't appear in it.
This time we reviewed vocabulary on illnesses and symptoms, as well as giving advice.
We used a poster of a hospital room with kids with different illnesses and symptoms to say what was wrong with each of them.
The best part of the class was when we did a role play in pairs: doctor /patient. I ask for a volunteer and I explained I was the doctor and he was the patient. I examined him to elicit problems  in order to finish giving a diagnosis and a piece of advice.
They did it after me and it was very funny as they used different elements to act as doctors: a notebook for prescriptions, an ice cream stick to examine their throats,etc.
We rounded up the lesson with a written activity.
It was a very noise lesson but they enjoyed it very much!

The second class was going to start. I have spent time trying to be sure the recording would work this time. A colleague lent me her cell phone and it seemed this time would be the time.
We revised vocabulary on food and drinks, how to express likes and dislikes and the concepts of healthy and unhealthy food.
To do so we used flashcards and created a chart listing healthy and unhealthy food and drink items. They cut and paste them from given photocopies on a sheet stuck on the board. It was noisy but funny!
Then I suggested them to imagine they were owners of a restaurant and to create a healthy weekly menu. They loved it!
We also played "Find someone who..." and we finished by creating "My healthy lunchbox". They used their imagination to combine healthy food and drinks with their favourite items.
They run directly to the dining-room after we finished as they were straving!
I felt more relaxed (the camera makes me nervous!) but when I checked the cell phone, it had only recorded 42 minutes!

No observations or assistantships took place as I am the teacher of the group. Our relationship is very good, we are very caring and loving .

Junior 3 is a very dynamic group of 20 children. We have been working together since March. There are two boys and two girls who are dyslexic so all our activities are  done taking their condition into account. Orality is their strength so we try to speak a lot , allowing them to strengthen their skills as they are finishing the firt cycle and next year will be much more challenging.
The other 16 are generally noisy and shouty. It is very difficult for them to concentrate but they love to learn new things, draw and paint  as well as perform.

There are three cousins who are leaders and need to be permanently working . It is a very challenging group and I love to share my mornings with them.

Finally I was able to send my planning to Aurelia and this morning was my first class.
i was really very nervous because of technology!.
Recording is a complicated task, especially because there is a prohibition of  recording children at school.
I practised some times before and finally decided to use my cell phone.
As we are revising for final exams, we worked on Prehistoric times. We  pretended to be prehistoric people and practised using regular and irregular verbs to decribe orally our daily activities.
We also listened to a dialogue, reading it aloud in 4 groups of 5 people paying special attention to pronounciation and intonation. It was a very funny moment as they love performing. It was nice to see them choosing their parts and organizing  themselves to read it .
We also did 2 written activities: a) colouring and matching  regular verbs in infinitive with their pasts; b) write 4 sentences in the past stating what people who lived thousands of years ago did every day.
When the bell rang I sent them to the break and discoverd the recording stopped almost at the beginning  so... nothing had ben recorded.
Wow! You can never be sure about tech devices!

Unlickily, as it happened last year, lots of inconveniences delayed my practices in Junior 3.
Solidarity Day, field trips, a trip to San Clemente, a Poetry Contest plus our reduced timetable ( we have English classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 8:30 to 12:00) made me feel that I would never comply with this part of my duty.
Even though I am their teacher, I was eager of going through this experience.
