Welcome to my blog. My name is Belém and I teach English to 4th grade students at Irlandesas Grammar School.

The aim of this blog is to help my students learn English in a funnier way and also to assist parents in this task.

Students: browse through the blog to revise class content, to repeat activities and past tests and to enjoy yourself reading funny stories and news.

This blog is also for parents to make suggestions to help your children learn English better. Please, feel free to leave comments and suggestions on the guestbook page.

Thanks for looking!
