🏫 THINGS IN THE CLASSROOM

There are many objects in a classroom. Here are some useful words.

chair	something you sit on
board	where the teacher writes
clock	something that shows the time

We use a before a consonant sound and an before a vowel sound.

Easy trick: Don’t look only at the first letter. Listen to the beginning sound.

• an eraser ✅
• a ruler ✅
• an English book ✅
• a pencil case ✅

👀 WHAT IS THIS?

When we don’t know the name of an object, we can ask:

What’s this?

We can answer:

• It’s a pencil.
• It’s a notebook.
• It’s an eraser.

For something farther away, we can ask:

What’s that?

• That’s a computer.
• That’s a clock.
• That’s an English book.

📍 WHERE ARE THE OBJECTS?

We can use simple prepositions to say where classroom objects are.

Preposition	Example
on	The book is on the desk.
under	The school bag is under the desk.
in	The pencils are in the pencil case.
next to	The chair is next to the desk.
near	The clock is near the board.

Look and say:

• The book is on the desk.
• The bag is under the chair.
• The pens are in the pencil case.
• The computer is next to the window.

🧑‍🏫 IN OUR CLASSROOM

Hi! I’m Noah and this is my classroom.

Our classroom is bright and comfortable. There are twenty desks and twenty chairs. The desks are next to each other, and the teacher’s desk is near the board.

There is a big board at the front of the classroom. There is also a clock on the wall. We have a computer and a projector, too.

My school bag is under my desk. I have a pencil case on my desk, and there are two pencils, a pen, a ruler and a rubber inside it.

My favourite thing in the classroom is the bookshelf. There are lots of interesting books on it!

❓ Let’s check!

• How many desks are there?
• Where is the teacher’s desk?
• What is on the wall?
• What computer equipment is in the classroom?
• Where is Noah’s school bag?
• What is on his desk?
• What is inside his pencil case?
• What is Noah’s favourite thing in the classroom?

🎒 WHAT’S IN MY SCHOOL BAG?

Now it’s your turn! Think about the things you have in your school bag.

• I’ve got a __________________________.
• I’ve got two __________________________.
• My __________________________ is blue.
• I use my __________________________ in Maths.
• My __________________________ is in my pencil case.

A2 Challenge: Write 6–8 sentences about your school bag and your classroom. Try to use at least six classroom objects and three prepositions.
