SAINT GEORGE

Read the legend in English and find out about some activities in England at: http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/customs/stgeorge2.html

I recommend you this book: GEORGE AND THE DRAGON by Christopher Wormell



It's a funny story about a dragon who is terrifying the country but who has a secret... My children love the story and we have done a theater play adaptation. 5th grade is preparing it now to be presented sometime during the 3rd term. You can find here the text of the adaptation:

Also, I found this lesson plan to do with 4th grade students: []

**I made this video about the legend of Saint George and the Dragon. I shared it with my partner schools for our e-Twinning project called TELL ME ABOUT LEGENDS. I hope you like it:**

**See also this simple Powerpoint which tells the kids about St George. I found it on TES. This site is just great! Please visit TES and register! It's free!**

CARNIVAL

A paper bag mask is very easy to make and inexpensive. You can work: feelings, parts of the face, senses......

HALLOWEEN

I will start with a highly recommendable CD that Mª Jesús passed me for **HALLOWEEN**: Wee sing for Halloween

By the way, my 6th grade children loved this video based upon the first song of the CD: media type="youtube" key="Mgyl4ZfWTLs?rel=0" height="315" width="420" align="center"

**HELLO ALL!** **I made this PowerPoint presentation to show my pupils a simple history of Halloween:** media type="custom" key="11193642"

**I do visit GENKIENGLISH.COM very often. His materials are really good. Check this out (it's about Halloween):**

Hello, this is Monica. For Halloween I like my students to do some crafts. I give all the instructions in English and they really like having something to take home and show their families at the end of the lesson.

My year 1 pupils made this witch:

Year 3 a Halloween diorama:

and year 4 a House of Horror (as my year 5 and 6 pupils were at activity camp I didn't have to prepare any Halloween activities for them)



As for Christmas, here are some songs my pupils certainly enjoy:
