Por ganar tiempo... haced click para ver aquí la entrada de hoy, que preparé el pasado domingo (un lío con las fechas de entradas...)

Buen día :)

Social Science: water cycle

Good morning, my friends!

I hope you are OK. What about some Social Science? :)

Today I have four things I want to tell you: 

1. I think I forgot to tell you that the process of condensation, precipitation, evaporation....is called water cycle. It is a natural process that never stops: the rain that falls from the clouds was water vapour that went up in the sky thanks to warm air (that long process I drew on the blackboard a few times). It is a natural process, but you can make your own water cycle at home in a very easy way. It is similar to the experiment I shared a few days ago, but I think this can help us understand in an easier way how this process happens. 

Click on the link below and find activity number 20 (Create your own miniature water cycle). 

EXPERIMENT

If you make it, I'd love to see some photographs ;) (ramoncuevasramirez@gmail.com).

2. There is a nice song that explains the water cycle. I know you love my songs, so have a look at the next video :)

3.  There is another thing. Let's observe the weather during a week. You are going to draw and write about it in your notebook. Everyday, you have to draw a weather symbol (sun, cloud, rain, wind, fog...) and write about it (It is raining today, It is 20ºC, It is cloudy, It is partly cloudy). When you have watched seven days, you can take a photograph and send it to me. 

Yours is going to look better, but it should be something like this:

Yes, I know: I should stop going to those Art classes :)

4. This is the last activity (you don't have to do everything today. Calm down!). It is a combination of Social Science and Art. I want you to find on the internet ten famous paintings where we can find some weather factors (sun, storms, fog, etc.). When you find them, you can write them down in your notebook. 

This is an example: 

Weather in Art

Figures in a storm (W. Turner).

Take care and see you soon.

Se me olvidaba. ¡Qué cabeza! Os quería dejar una lista de cosas que tenéis que hacer, aprender a hacer o hacer cada vez mejor. 

1. Leer un reloj análogico.

2. Ataros los cordones de los zapatos fuertemente.

3. Hacer la cama como un profesional.

4. Preparar un sandwich a vuestros padres. Sandwich frío.

5. Hacer una pajarita de papel (aunque algunos saben hacer hasta un tanque).

6. Pelar una mandarina sin ayuda.

7. Aprender el nombre de los doce dioses del Olimpo griego (Zeus, Poseidón, Deméter, Plutón, Hades, Hera :), Afrodita, Artemisa, Apolo, Atenea, Hefesto y Hermes). Ya sabéis que este año nuestro Día del Libro está centrado en la Grecia Clásica (pues por eso). 

8. Recordar el nombre de las siete naves que intentaron dar la vuelta al mundo hace 500 años ya (Victoria...). 

Lo comprobaremos a la vuelta ;)

English: WILL to make predictions and talk about the FUTURE

Buenos días, familias. 

Antes de seguir compartiendo actividades y sugiriendo tareas, quería comentar que en en ningún momento pretendemos cargar a los alumnos con un exceso de trabajo. No hay necesidad de hacerlo todo cada día, sino que lo importante es no perder el hábito de trabajo e ir repasando algunos aprendizajes para que no se vayan perdiendo. 

Un saludo y mucho ánimo a todos. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good morning, everyone!

Ready to start another day? I'm sure you are :)

I want you to have a look at the next pictures.

You have to write five affirmative sentences, five negative sentences and five questions about the photographs (fifteen sentences). Ex: Cars won't need drivers in the future.

I also want to try a new tool with you. It is a website that provides interactive worksheets. Try this one about WILL (used to make predictions about the future) and if we see it works, we can use it to go over different English contents.

You may need my email address to submit your worksheet (ramoncuevasramirez@gmail.com).

I am waiting for your answers ;)

Friday 13th March 2020

Buenos días, familias. 

Quería comentaros que todas las tareas que vayan haciendo vuestros hijos en casa, especialmente las fichas o actividades que impliquen escritura, me las podéis enviar por correo electrónico (ramoncuevasramirez@gmail.com). Simplemente una foto de lo que hagan para que yo pueda ir revisándolas, corrigiéndolas cuando sea necesario y anotando su trabajo en estos días. Estos deberes se valorarán como tareas de casa, del mismo modo que hacemos cuando estamos aquí y traen los ejercicios o actividades hechos. Cuando volvamos, iremos viendo la mejor forma de evaluar los temas que nos quedaron pendientes y cómo reorganizar los próximos contenidos para el tiempo que quede. 

Por otro lado, como tenemos un poco abandonada la asignatura de Plástica con esto de estar fuera del cole, os quería compartir esta propuesta que tal vez habéis recibido... Estaré encantado de publicar vuestros trabajos en el blog.

Y ahora me dirijo a ellos. 

Hello, kids! 

How are you today? This situation is not too bad if we can be in touch ;)

Do you remember the acrostic poems we read in English? (PB page 78). I have found a website with some more examples of these fun poems. That site has examples of very easy acrostic and some ideas to write your own ones. Have a look at it and write two acrostic poems during the weekend. I will be waiting for them :)

Take care and have a nice weekend.

Problemas con Educamadrid

Buenas tardes, familias.

El correo que os pasé para comunicaciones era de educamadrid (ramon.cuevasramirez@educa.madrid.org), pero la plataforma está sufriendo ciertos bloqueos. 

Os paso el personal por si fuera necesario: ramoncuevasramirez@gmail.com

Os paso también el de Mercedes (me ha dado permiso): mercedesbaezadiaz@gmail.com

Un saludo y mucho ánimo.

Social Science: Weather and climate

Estimadas familias:

Desde la Editorial de los libros de CC. Sociales y CC. Naturales nos han mandado un enlace para poder acceder a materiales y actividades para estos días. Os lo paso por si pudiera resultar útil para estas jornadas en casa.

https://www.bilingualbyme.com/family-corner?utm_source=Macmillan+Education+Iberia&utm_campaign=c42a4c9e52-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2020_03_11_03_18&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_7012a8a20a-c42a4c9e52-146705077

Y ahora me dirijo a los chicos.

Good morning, everyone!

Lots of you have been visiting my blog and I know you are doing some activities at home to go over the contents we are studying these days. That's fantastic!

Today I wanted to share some materials to play and learn a bit more about weather and climate. 

First, this is a very interesting worksheet about world climates. I know these are contents we haven't explained at school yet, but give it a go. It is not difficult if you read it slowly. You can print it, work with it on your tablet...

WORKSHEET

And this second link is an easy experiment you can try at home: Would you like to produce rain? Remember what we explain about condensation. With the next experiment you can understand that concept a bit better (PB 26). 

EXPERIMENT

Have a nice Thursday ;)

Natural science: matter and materials

Good morning, kids.

How are you today? We are here at school missing you a lot :(

I have found a video that explains what matter is in a different way. And it shows some simple experiments to prove aspects like the mass and volume of air... 

Have a look at it and try the experiments at home. If you do it, you can send me a photograph so we can share it on the blog. 

Another content we are studying is materials and their properties. This is a game with three levels where you can practice with magnetic materiales, shiny ones, etc. Good luck with the three missions!

GAME

I hope you are OK. See you ASAP.
