Natural Science: simple machines

Hi, kids.

In a few days you will take a new Natural Science test. One of the things we are studying is simple machines. Have a look at the next video to go over the six types we have studied and some of their uses (there is some information you won't understand, but do not worry).



See you tomorrow.

Natural Science: Physical changes

Hi, kids.

We are not having a lot of time these days to have our usual routine of classes. Next week will be a little more relaxed. 

In Natural Science we are studying matter, physical changes, etc. 

Have a look at the next videos for an example of some changes in matter (first you will see some physical changes and then some chemical changes at the end of the videos; you don't need to study anything about chemical changes this year).

See you tomorrow.

Enhorabuena

Hola, chicos. 

Quería felicitaros por vuestro excelente trabajo en la preparación y en la representación de Matilda de esta tarde. Estamos muy orgullosos de lo que os habéis esforzado y de lo bien que lo habéis hecho. 

Tenemos por delante varias semanas hasta que acabe este trimestre y va a ser necesario un último esfuerzo para poder acabar el curso contentos y con la sensación de que habéis hecho todo lo posible por aprender y mejorar cada día. 

Os animamos a este último esfuerzo. Estamos seguros de que podréis hacerlo. 

Hasta mañana :)

List of verbs

Good evening, kids. 

As I told you this afternoon, I thought that you may need some help to practise at home how to pronounce the verbs you are learning.

If you click on the links below, you can listen to them:

Regular verbs (regular verbs are different... There are three different ways to pronounce that -ed ending. We will help you learn the differences, but this video can be a good beginning).

See you tomorow :)

Plants: photosynthesis

Hi, kids!

As you know, we are going to learn a lot of things about plants in Unit 4. 

I'd like to share with you a nice song that explains how plants produce their own food (that is why they are called producers). 

Remember, this process is called PHOTOSYNTHESIS.

If you want to sing along, these are the lyrics:

If you want to know / How a plant grows / It takes water, air, and sunlight / And makes cellulose
Every plant can do this / Fundamental process / And we can call this / Photosynthesis
Unlike me and you / Plants need CO2 / And they make oxygen / That stops us turning blue
Every plant can do this / Fundamental process / And we can call this / Photosynthesis
It’s a miracle / How all the chlorophyll / Captures sunlight in the leaves / Of the plants and the trees
A plant of any size / Can do it if it tries / But we’re not green, so we can’t / photosynthesize
Every plant can do this / Fundamental process / And we can call this / Photosynthesis
It’s a miracle / How all the chlorophyll / Captures sunlight in the leaves / Of the plants and the trees
Every plant can do this / Fundamental process / And we can call this / Photosynthesis
Every plant can do this / Fundamental process / And we can call this / Pho-to-syn-the-sis
Photosynthesis


I hope you like it :)



Bye.

Spain: Political and Physical Maps

Hi, kids.

You know we are studying the political map and some important landforms in Spain. If you have some time, maybe you would like to play these games and practise some of these contents.

Political map: autonomous communities

Physical map: some rivers and mountain ranges (you will see that there are many rivers and mountains in Spain, at school we have talked about some of them).
