Thanks for a great year and have a good summer!

Today we created some funny stories with the „Fold-over story“ method. This is a fun and creative collaborative writing activity. Students worked together to build a silly story by each adding one piece of information—who, what, how, where, when, and why—folding that part of the paper and then passing it. This way, no one can see what previous classmates wrote. Finished stories and laughs are shared with the class.


To practice our speaking skills and prepare for summer, students played a game called „Don’t Say the Words!“ They took turns describing and guessing summer vocabulary, but for an extra challenge, there were 3 words that they couldn’t use. For example, they had to describe „sand“ but couldn’t say „beach“, „small“, or „yellow.“


We also watched a short film called „Zog“ and discussed it.
