What's in the fridge? (6th grade)

Hello!

Today I want to suggest another activity for the 6th grade students to practise the use of there is and there are with countable and uncountable nouns.

Here's an image of the food inside a fridge. I want you to write 2 sentences in the comments section: one for countable food and one for uncountable food. It can be affirmative or negative.

If the sentences are correct, you will have a positive mark. Come on, let's do it!

Wild animals and ELMER, the elephant (P5)

Hello little children!

In P5 we love wild animals. We like animals that live in the jungle and also animals that animals that we can go and visit at the zoo.

Monkeys are one of the children's favourites. But also elephants. This week we listened to the story of Elmer the Elephant.

Elmer is a different elephant. He's a patchwork elephant that feels the other laugh at him because of his colours.

One day he leaves the jungle... finds a bush full of grey berries and shakes it... and all the berries fall on the ground. And then...

What will Elmer do with the berries? Eat them? Watch the video to see what happens:
