This week, students in class 3.a marked World Water Day during their English lesson, focusing on the importance of water and its many forms in nature.

Through a variety of engaging and interactive activities, students explored the topic of water while developing their English language skills. The lesson was designed and led by their English teacher. At the beginning of the lesson, students participated in a discussion about the importance of water in everyday life and why it is essential for all living things. Students then listened to the story Hey, water! by Antoinette Portis. During the first listening, they focused on recognising and circling key vocabulary related to water. In the second listening, they watched the story and identified different forms of water in nature, such as rain, rivers, clouds, and ice.

Through discussion and guided activities, students learned how water changes its form depending on conditions and seasons. Students practised vocabulary by matching words to pictures and then used the present continuous tense to describe actions related to water, such as I am swimming or I am making a snowman. They also shared their sentences with the class, developing both confidence and speaking skills. In the final part of the lesson, students reflected on how they can help save water in their daily lives. To conclude, they created their own “Thank you, water!” cards, expressing gratitude for water and its importance.

Below the text, you can see some of the students’ work and their “Thank you, water!” cards.
