British Ambassador in Curitiba

We delivered our first English lessons at Maria Augusta Jouve today with three classes with about 70 young people.

We created some lessons plans that used postcards from Holystone Primary School in England to help build vocabulary for the children here. Each child will now have a vocabulary book to add English words as they go to improve the number of words they understand. They watched a short video from the school in England that explained they had seen the video of Craig and Michael in Brazil.

We did a lesson plan based on the countries national anthems, emblems, coat of arms and seal to show differences between the two countries. Finally we arranged for one of the students to "sign" for Newcastle United and held a press conference to engage students in speaking and listening. This showed the differences in the types of English within England and also explained more about our home city.

We also had a visit from the British Ambassador to Brazil, Alex Ellis, who joined us in the afternoon to see one of the schools in action. Its great for the young people to receive recognition from around Brasil! Photos to follow...
