Hi guys,

today we worked on Frankenstein's story with Mr Hill.

You had to associate a picture with a caption and re-organize the story line.

Finally, Mr Hill read an excerpt from the book (chapter 5) and you had to try and find its place in the chronology of the book.

We'll continue this next Monday.

Hi guys,

today after motivating you to participate in the "Big Challenge" contest, we continued our class about India.

Here is what we said after watching the video:

Recap: the dabbawala service

Dabba and dabbawala are Hindi words.

In India, more precisely in Mumbai (the biggest city in India), about 200,000 clients / customers use the service everyday.

The delivery men carry the lunch boxes on their heads. They don't have cars to deliver the food in schools and offices.

On the lid of the box, there is a code in colours. Dabbawallas wear a white uniform.

They never make a mistake = they are very efficient and impressive!
