You have all heard of Disneyland, haven't you? I guess most of you want to go there and have a blast. Am I right? Don't tell me - I know I am!
Well, the 5th class students didn't go there but they learnt about it and imagined how things look like there. They were very imaginative while dreaming of roller coasters, merry-go-rounds, haunted houses, pirate ships, fairytale castles and many more fantasy-like places and characters within Disneyland. After learning about Disneyland, they had to face a rather challenging assignment. They had to make their own pirate ship, fairytale castle or haunted house. They draw pieces of paper and they had to make whatever was written on it. And it was really exciting seeing boys reading what they got...and that something was a fairytale castle! I could've imagined them covered with glitter and all sorts of shiny things. Just try to imagine it - drawing a piece of paper, wishing for a haunted house or a pirate ship...and getting a fairytale castle! They were shocked at first but then they realized they have no other option but to make that shiny thing. So I though. But they turned things in their own advantage and they made a modern-looking, fancy house-castle. They got me! Touché!
They had several weeks to design and make their Disneyland creations. And they did it! Each of them had to present his or her project by saying what it was, which material was used, which equipment and techniques and what was inside (some interiors were visible while others weren't so they had to use their imagination to describe the interior).
The whole project was a win-win situation really. They had to use their English to present it so it was a great practice and they had to use a lot of their imagination and creativity to achieve the final goal - the Disneyland dream coming true. On the other hand, I as a teacher had a chance to enjoy in their creativity and their English. A win-win situation - wouldn't you agree?
They are really proud of their work and I am really proud of them.
On 7 October we visited one of Crotian national parks which is also the oldest one. We had a lot of fun on the way there...as well as on the way home...At first the weather was cloudy but it wasn't raining. However, our luck didn't last...During the second half of our sightseeing the rain started...and we hurried to the bus...Some of us got wet more than others.
Despite the weather we had the best time ever!
P.S. It was also our teacher's birthday and our present to her was a folk song wishing her to live until she's 105 and then all over again!
