About Me

Portugal
I am from Coimbra, Portugal, and am currently teaching in a school in Soure, about 30 km away from Coimbra. I have been a teacher of English for over 20 years and have already taught different levels and age groups. After all this time I can say I love working with adult groups because there are no coursebooks and I can create my own resources. I am an avid reader, a blogger and very curious about free tools and their implementation in the classroom.

Gotta Keep Reading

Every and each opportunity has to be seized to do what we cherish most - in my case, reading!
Older and younger students have been asked to enjoy their Easter break but also to READ:
"I got my book
Do you have yours?
What is the title?
And who's it by?
Where is it set?
...Feed your brains!"
Enjoy this inspirational video "Gotta Keep Reading" (lyrics of this adapted version of "I Gotta Feeling" also available here


                                                                                                               Happy Reading :=)

Guessing Activity - WHAT AM I?

I have no colour,
not even white,
but sometimes I'm wide and blue.
Sometimes I'm still,
and sometimes I rush,
and I can fall down on you.

I can change my shape,
I often do,
but I'm hard to hold in your hand.
You need me to make
your castle stand up
when you're playing in the sand.

I haven't much taste
but on a hot day
your tongue's hanging out for me.
Then I am cold,
but I can be hot
When I'm in your mum's cup of tea.

What am I?
