Before saying good-bye and sending you our best wishes for these
summer holidays, we would like to anticipate your next teaching
period bringing you a colourful calendar that will open the door to
speaking, writing and researching on the most voted natural places in the
world.
You will also find several survival lips to have in mind at the beginning of
the school year; easy-to-make labels to make the classroom a rich learning
environment and fix vocabulary in a natural way; transactional language
cards to promote real communication in class and an article that will help
you reflect on your planning for next year.
Songs and stories and haunted underground vaults in Edinburgh with
plenty of photocopiable activities complete this issue. We ltope you find
them useful as fillers or complement of your yearly revision,
Have a great holiday!

Spend time talking and getting to know them in a real sense;
asking them questions, trying to find out their likes, interests.
Do not feel this is a waste of time. Do not worry if you spend
a whole lesson just chatting with them. Your students will
appreciate it and it may even avoid future problems, especially
with the so-called "toughest students". Maybe, for some of
them, this is the first time an adult listens to them. Every
student has gifts or hidden talents they may be willing to
share, if they are just given the opportunity to communicate,

If you can, change your classroom set up. Think about your
students preferences, how they like learning, and adapt it to
their needs. Allow them to participate in the decision .making.
'fly to cater for different learning needs. Remember especially
that kids need space to look around and explore. For example,
you can leave some space for whole class activities and circle
work with a carpet and some cushions; have a small library in
the classroom and some ready-made activities for fast
finishers, and many more. Be creative and think outside the
box. If you do not have much space in your classroom, as it is
my case, start thinking about different parts of the school that
may serve the same purposes. I usually go to the library, to
the school yard or to the computer lab. You can also
encourage students to decorate the classrooms in whatever
way they like. This will promote a feeling of belonging. You
may be surprised at the results.

Why do we plan?
We make an annual plan to determine the contents we are
going to teach, the aims we have according to different factors
such as the particular group of students we have, their
context, specific needs and interests, the most suitable way of
working with them, kinds of activities, materials and so on.
The teacher is the main agent who can put the curricula into
practice, since it is the teacher who actually faces students and
who finally decides what to teach in each class. If teachers do
not take curricular designs into their classes, they will only
remain on paper and they will not show reality.
We may have our own effective techniques, our perfect
textbook, but we undoubtedly need to bear in mind the
curricular design; study it and take it to the class.

Materials
Paper towel tubes Sellotape tubes Hessian rectangles Felt rectangles
Cardboard trays Plastic containers lids Dotted, striped or checked paper
Cardboard of different colours Eva foam strips Paint Coloured markers
Glue Scissors.
Convex labels
Cut the paper towel and aellotape tubes in halves. Cover them with a piece of
dotted or checked paper. Paste a strip of Eva foam or cardboard. These labels are
appropriate to stand on your desk or any other flat surface.
Soft labels
Take the hessian and felt rectangles. Paste smaller cardboard rectangles on them;
choose contrasting colours to make them more attractive. Add pieces of felt,
dotted, striped of checked paper to cover the borders of the cardboard rectangle
and frame the label. You may want to add a soft piece of Velcro so that you can
fasten these labels to any other surface holding a piece of rough Velcro. The
advantage is that you can use any surface such as walls, board, noticeboard,
carboard, etc.
Hard labels
Paint the cardboard trays with shocking pink paint and paste a plastic container
lid in the middle. It will be ready to write your label with coloured markers.
