Natural Science 17th June 2020

Hello, everyone!

How are you today? I'm fine. Thanks for asking :)

Let's do some Natural Science today: this is the last post, so I think we could do some review activities about some of the contents we have learnt this year. Are you ready?

1. We studied a lot of interesting things about the human body on the first term. Let's see if you can classify the next organs: 

ovary, lung, artery, bronchi, penis, trachea, vein, alveoli, heart, testicle, uterus.

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM	CIRCULATORY SYSTEM	REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

2. One of our first units was devoted to healthy living. Are the next statements TRUE or FALSE?

a) Calories are bad for our body.

b) Fruit and vegetables contain lots of vitamins.

c) Nuts contain healthy fats.

d) You kill germs when you wash your hands. 
e) Kids need to sleep more than adults.
f) Carbohydrates don't contain a lot of energy.
g) Having friends is good for your health.
h) Dairy products help your teeth and bones.

3. The next crossword can help you remember the functions of the different parts of plants (very easy).

4. Solid, liquid or gas?

Good morning, children:

It's Tuesday and we have to do some English. Some days ago we talked about Italy, then Mexico and today we are going to learn some interesting facts about England. 

If you have a look at PB page 100 you can read some information about what England is famous for. You can also listen to it on the link below (or Navio).

LISTENING

1. After reading and listening, answer the next questions: 

a) What sports is England famous for?

b) What time do people have afternoon tea?

c) What are the buses in London like?

d) What is Hamley's?

e) What can people eat at Wimbledon while they watch?

2. We are finishing the unit, so it's time to do some review activities: AB page 98: 1-3. 

Hoy os veo especialmente cansados...Se nota que ya nos quedan menos energías. Así que creo que por hoy ya está bien de ejercicios.

Hace varios días que no os ofrezco ninguna actividad de nuestros amigos de Rascafría. En el siguiente enlace tenéis un vídeo quiz del Monasterio de El Paular (Rascafría). ¡A ver qué tal os sale!

Good morning, little friends:

Welcome to a new week, the last week! In five days you will be starting your summer holidays, isn't it great? 

Today we have to do some Social Science. Since it is the last session I thought we could do some activities to go over some of the contents we have studied this year, so this is going to be a very varied post :) 

1. Let's start with some History. Could you write in chronological order the next historical periods?

HISTORICAL PERIODS: THE MODERN AGE, THE METAL AGES, THE STONE AGE, ANCIENT HISTORY, THE CONTEMPORARY AGE, THE MIDDLE AGES. 

2. Try to do the next worksheet to classify some archaeological objects.

WORKSHEET

3. On the link below there is a video quiz about the Roman Empire. Give it a go! (aunque pueda parecer complicado, algunas preguntas nos pueden servir de repaso de contenidos que hemos visto este año).

4. Do you remember our unit about Space? Let's finish with the next interactive worksheet to go over some of the things we learnt about our Solar System. 

See you tomorrow ;)

Fin de semana 13-14 de junio de 2020

Buenos días, amigos: 

Esta es la última entrada de fin de semana que tendremos en el blog. El próximo viernes acabamos el curso y es bueno que comencemos a buscar nuevas actividades y ocupaciones lejos de este blog que ha sido nuestra escuela virtual durante estos meses. 

Hoy os propongo algo diferente. En el mundo de las apps y de los juegos para móviles estáis mucho más al día que yo. De hecho creo que este es el primer juego que instalo. Se trata de una app protagonizada por Yeti, un pies grandes que nos acompaña en una expedición por el Himalaya. Si recorréis las montañas más altas del mundo con él, podréis aprender algunas cosas sobre el Everest. Creo que es interesante.

Es una aplicación gratuita que podéis instalar en móviles y tablets. 

Verne: The Himalayas

En medio de esas montañas nevadas es posible encontrar animales. Tal vez os sorprenda algunas de las especies que podemos allí. 

HIMALAYAS ANIMALS

Por si os apetece aprender algo más acerca del "techo del mundo", echad un vistazo al siguiente vídeo con ritmazo.

Un abrazo, chicos, y feliz fin de semana.

I hope you like it, I know Alvaro did.

Good morning, everyone:

How are you today? It's Thursday again...one of our last Thursdays! I'll try not to cry :(

Today I'd like to finish our unit about animals and start something new. 

1. In the next photographs, provided by our friends Lucas, we can see three different invertebrates. I want you to write: 
- its name, 
- its group (arthropod, mollusc, echinoderm, cnidarian, sponge, annelid), 
- one characteristic (body, where they live...).

INVERTEBRATE A.

INVERTEBRATE B

INVERTEBRATE C

Thank you, Lucas!

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

And now we have to start a new unit :)

Unit 6 is devoted to machines and energy. We studied some of these contents last year. 

Es una unidad que me hubiera gustado explicar en clase con diferentes objetos, ya que creo que este tipo de cosas solo se aprenden bien si podemos "manipular" algunas de esas herramientas. Es por ello que voy a seleccionar algunos contenidos que sí podemos aprender, aunque sea a distancia. 


If you have a look at PB pages 86-87 you can read some information about these simple machines. 

2. Think about the objects in your classroom or at home. Can you identify some simple machines? Write at least six:

LEVER_____________________________________________
INCLINED PLANE_____________________________________
PULLEY_____________________________________________
SCREW______________________________________________
WEDGE_____________________________________________
WHEEL AND AXLE

3. Let's finish with another interactive worksheet. Very easy, if you read it carefully ;)

See you tomorrow ;)
