Week Two : Term Two : Access One : As I was going to St Ives ...

Hello Access One Students

A) Listen to the old English riddle called, As I was going to St. Ives.

B) In pairs can you answer the question: HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE GOING TO ST.IVES?



Can you also answer the following questions:

1) How many men were there?

2) How many wives were there?

3) How many sacks were there?

4) How many adult cats were there?

5) How many kittens were there?



Do you like my cat, Sita? She's a darling, isn't she?

Do you like cats? Or do you like dogs? Maybe you don't like either? Post a comment and tell me what you think.

C) Would you like to practice reading for pronunciation at our Talkgroup on VOXOPOP?

Read the other poems and rhymes I gave you class about cats (Hey Diddle Diddle, Ding, Dong Bell, Pussy-Cat, Pussy-Cat)

There is a new Talkgroup there called READING POEMS.

Bye for now

Your teacher,

Dale

ACCESS 3 : Graffiti - Art or Crime

Hello Access 3 students,

here are two videos about graffiti from YouTube. The first is the one we watched in class about the problem of graffiti on trains in the German city of Hamburg. The second video shows some of the graffiti 'art' in Melbourne's laneways. Maybe we need to go on an excursion to see those laneways for ourselves? What do you think about graffiti? Leave a message here and also leave an audio message for the class at our talkgroup at VOXOPOP (click the link below):
