The War with Grandpa (Chapters 1 to 11)

1) Who told Peter that Grandpa was coming to live with them?

2)   What is Arthur’s job? Where does he work when he works at home?

3)   Why does Grandpa have to sleep in Peter’s room?

4)   What kind of lessons does Peter take? What kind of lessons does he really want?

5)   What was Grandpa’s job?

6)   What happened to Grandpa’s leg?

⭐ We will go over these answers on May 8th. Please, also read Chapters 12 and 13 for that day as Homework.

Hi all!!!

⭐ Today in class, we did a Listening Comprehension activity. If you could not do it on your book, complete it in Liveworksheets. If you could do it, please copy your answers on Liveworksheets

 ⭐ Also you will find two tasks related to the Topic on fossils we discussed in class yesterday on Liveworksheets. So go to your LWS account and do the new worksheets.

 ⭐ Today we talked about the writings you handed in. You could read

your corrections from your mail and had the chance to ask if you had any doubt about the correction symbols. Now you have to write the 2nd draft for May 5th as homework

 ⭐ We also went over some Past Continuous, here are two photographs of the

Mind Map on the whiteboard in the clasroom. I took it the last Friday we were at school... Check that you have it or copy it down if you don't.

⭐ Last Friday I promised to share images about The Globe.

This is the street view.
These are some pictures of the inside of the theatre.

Because of coronavirus lockdown, Shakespeare’s Globe (or the Wooden O as they affectionately call it because of its shape, like a ring) is sharing plays so if you wish, you could watch “Romeo and Juliet” which is on these days. Of course you are not supposed to watch the whole play but you can watch a few minutes here and there to have an idea of the place and how it worked during Shakespeare´s time. Enjoy this trip back in time!

⭐ See you again at 3 pm tomorrow!!

Big hug!

PS: This weekend you can celebrate Earth Day and bake these cookies with adult supervision at all times.

Celebrate Earth Day by Baking a Batch of Planet-Inspired Sugar Cookies

Here's a fun and tasty project to celebrate Mother Nature.

Swirled with bright blue and green colors, these Earth Day treats are simple sugar cookies dyed to look just like our beautiful planet. They're the perfect treat to make in celebration of Earth Day, which falls on April 22nd this year.

You Will Need

• One batch of Basic Sugar Cookie dough (recipe below)
• Green and blue food coloring

To Make the Cookies

Prepare the Basic Sugar Cookie dough following the recipe instructions, but don't wrap and chill the prepared dough. Instead, divide it into two halves and place each half in a bowl. Use food coloring to dye one portion of the dough blue and the other portion green.

Preheat your oven to 160°C degrees. Spray baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray and site aside. Place a piece of parchment paper on the work surface. Pinch off small pieces of dough in varying sizes (between 1/2 teaspoon and two teaspoons each). Shape and press six to eight of the dough pieces together in a circular shape. 

Roll the blue and green dough pieces together to form a ball (ball size should be between one and two tablespoons). Repeat with remaining dough. Makes 12 to 18 cookies depending on size. 

Transfer your cookies to the prepared baking sheet and bake until edges and top are crisp, about 15 to 18 minutes (Baking time will depend on the size of the cookies). Remove from the oven, then place them on a wire rack to cool. Let your cookies cool completely before serving.

Cookies will last up to a week stored in airtight containers at room temperature.

Basic Sugar Cookies

Prep:1 hr 30 mins

Total:2 hrs

Yield:Makes 32

Ingredients

Sugar Cookies

• 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

• Step 1

In large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture; beat until combined. Divide dough in half; flatten into disks. Wrap each in plastic; freeze until firm, at least 20 minutes, or place in a resealable plastic bag, and freeze up to 3 months (thaw in refrigerator overnight).

• Step 2

Preheat oven to160 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment. Remove one dough disk; let stand 5 to 10 minutes. Roll out 1/8 inch thick between two sheets of floured parchment, dusting dough with flour as needed. Cut shapes with cookie cutters. Using a spatula, transfer to prepared baking sheets. (If dough gets soft, chill 10 minutes.) Reroll scraps; cut shapes. Repeat with remaining dough.

• Step 3

Bake, rotating halfway through, until edges are golden, 10 to 18 minutes (depending on size). Cool completely on wire racks.

You can store cookies in airtight containers at room temperature, up to 1 week.
