"You talk as if a god had made the Machine.. Men made it, do not forget that. Great men, but men. The Machine is much, but it is not everything. I see something like you in this plate, but I do not see you. I hear something like you through this telephone, but I do not hear you. That is why I want you to come. Pay me a visit, so that we can meet face to face, and talk about the hopes that are in my mind."The machine stops - 1909 - Forster

TRINITY COURSE CLASS III: LESSON 6 - SCHOOL

This week we're speaking about school. You love school, don't you?
Well, click on the links below to learn more about School in England.
What does a school look like in England? Take a virtual tour!

And what about a typical school day? Do English students wear a uniform?

Read about school life for a 13-year-old British boy.

Ok, you've been reading a lot of things about English school and students. Now, choose 10 new words and/or interesting facts you've learnt and write them on this wallwisher!!! Click on the wall "post a sticky" , the wall will open ...then you can click anywhere and write on a sort of post-it note. Have fun!!!




I've taken the words you've written on Wallwisher and I've made a "cloud"
( actually, it should be heart-shaped ) using Tagul. If you click on the words you'll be directed to the site of the English school. Have a try....

Hi teacher!!! I'm Eleonora from 3 B...
First, I must say to you I can't open the waalwisher: when I click on it, it says to me "Impossibile aprire il sito Internet http://themachinegoeson.blogspot.com/2010/02/trinity-course-class-III-lesson-6.html. Operazione terminata"... But must I do the hommerwork on the wallwisher??
Anyway I have read the link and I have learnt...
_In all classroom there are a computer, an overhead projector, an interactive whiteboard and flip chart.
_There is a small groups area.
_There are 32 computers in all the school
_They use hall for Gymnastic, assemblies, eating lunch.
_In this school there is a choir.
_For students of Primary school the school starts at 8:55 am.
_Every day the students of Primary school go to an assembly and they listen a story, sing a song and pray.
_There are lunch time clubs.
_The students have crafts' lessons.
I've also learnt new words, like
_Assess= valutare, giudicare
_Pray= pregare
And also other words...!! = ]
Ok goodbye
