Good afternoon!
While I was looking for activities for next week I found some really exciting online things.
Macmillan has an excellent all-round site, but I have fallen  in love with this:
http://www.macmillandictionary.com/verb_wheel/

It's like a roulette wheel, or one-armed bandit, to help you practise your irregular verbs. Now that is fun!

Some groups have been listening to music to fill in the gaps in the lyrics. It is quite tricky. If you want to practise, try going to YouTube and then typing in the name of your favourite song then adding 'English subtitles'.
E.g.:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJjvtNWV990

(That has Spanish subtitles too!)

A strange story this week was that Russian fighters were flying over (or near) Cornwall. So the BBC has published a handy guide to recognizing Russian planes:

The BBC Magazine is always good anyway: short articles, Video links  and more.

Hope you all have a good week.
