Learning Traffic Signs in English

As part of our English Lesson 3 Project in Unit 8, the students of Grade 4 combined language learning with road safety education.

The children created their own traffic signs and used them to practise the modal verbs can, can’t, must and mustn’t. Through this creative activity, they learned how to talk about rules, permissions and prohibitions in English.

The students made signs such as STOP, speed limit signs, no parking signs, pedestrian crossing signs, warning signs and animal crossing signs. Then, they matched each sign with a simple English sentence, such as:

You can cross here.
You can go straight.
You can’t ride a bike here.
You can’t turn here.
You can’t go over 50.
You must stop.
You must be careful.
You must watch for animals.
You mustn’t park here.

This activity helped the children understand that English can be used in real-life situations. At the same time, they practised important road safety rules in a fun and meaningful way.

The project ended with the creation of a colourful classroom poster, where the children’s signs were organised into four categories: You can, You can’t, You must and You mustn’t.

It was a wonderful opportunity for the students to learn, create, cooperate and stay safe!

Learn the rules. Stay safe!

My Dream Job: Job Description Cards

In our 6th Grade English class, we worked on the topic “My Dream Job”. The main grammatical focus of the project was the use of modal(+semi modal) verbs, such as must, have to, need to, should and can. We also revised and expanded vocabulary related to jobs, skills, abilities, responsibilities and working conditions.

Students chose a dream job and wrote short texts describing it. They explained what a person must do in this job, what skills they need to have, what they should be good at, and what they can achieve through this profession.

After editing and improving the texts, we turned them into colourful job description cards. Each card presents a different profession, almost like a real job advertisement, including the job title, useful skills, personal qualities and a short description of the role.

Through this project, students practised grammar and vocabulary in a meaningful and creative way. They also had the chance to think about their future dreams and present them through writing and art.

Our final product: a class collection of “My Dream Job” cards!

Our 6th Grade students have completed their virtual music museum project, “The Music Gallery.” Through this creative activity, the students explored the world of music and presented some of their favourite music artists in a digital museum.

Music is a big part of our lives. It helps us express our feelings, relax, and have fun. Inspired by this idea, the students researched different artists, wrote short texts in English, and worked together to create an online exhibition that visitors can explore.

The virtual museum includes artists such as Travis Scott, Snoop Dogg, Hatsune Miku, Eminem, Jorge Rivera-Herrans, and XXXTentacion. Each contribution reflects the students’ effort, creativity, and personal connection with music.

As part of the project, the students also attempted to design a promotional poster for their virtual museum. Their original ideas, layout, and information became the basis for the final poster. With the help of AI, their work was polished and transformed into the colourful advertisement you can see here, while still keeping the students’ concept and content at the centre of the creation.

This project helped the students practise their English, improve their digital skills, and express themselves through a modern and enjoyable learning experience. It also gave them the opportunity to see how their own ideas can be developed further with the support of digital tools.

Congratulations to all the students for their wonderful work!

After the first part of our Unit 6 project, my 4th Grade students continued working creatively with the topic of animals. This time, their short written texts were transformed into colourful little story pages.

The aim was to help students see their own writing in a new way: not only as an exercise in a notebook, but as a small story with characters, setting and action. Foxes, rabbits, pigs, dogs, turtles, deer and capybaras became the heroes of their imaginative stories.

Through this project, students practised animal vocabulary, simple descriptions, actions and sentence structure, while also developing confidence in using English to express their own ideas.

Just like in Part 1, this activity reminded us that when language is connected to creativity, images and storytelling, learning becomes more meaningful, joyful and alive.
