Cities, transport & Prepositions

Week 19^th -21^st November

What did we do this week?

We reviewed vocabulary on city facilities and buildings.

What can you do at a bank?

What’s a bridge?

Why do we use roads?

What’s a sports centre?

Who goes to a mosque? And to a church?

We kept talking about actions taking place at the moment.

Can you answer these questions?

What are you doing now?

Are you listening to music?

What are your children doing?

Are you doing this exercise at home?

Do you have noisy neighbours?

We also learnt to describe pictures or photos.

Remember:

AT	IN	ON
the top/ the bottom	the corner	the right / the left
	the middle
	the foreground / the background
	the top right corner

 But only the position on a piece of paper or a photo

And finally, we learnt about the transport in London.

As you worked so hard in class, I didn’t give you homework.

Ready for this week? See you!

What are you doing? What are the people doing?
