English 19th March 2020


Good morning, everyone!

I know we were talking about the future before we had to go home, but today I’d like to share with you some games and activities to practise other contents in English.

Would you like to play some games in English today? (say, Yes I would).Ok.

Let’s start with a very classic game. With Hangman we can go over the spelling of thousand of words you already know. There are sixteen words in every category, that is a lot! Do you want to pay? Link below


Do you remember I told you you had to learn how to tell the time using an analogue clock? The next game can offer some good practice:


It is difficult to practise listening skils when we are not together, but with games like these we can remember how some basic words are pronounced. There are lots of categories…but you don’t have to finish the game today.


You can also visit the next link and listen to a short story (related to weather!). If you like this story, I will share some more in the next posts. 


And last, but not least. Some months ago we learnt how to use conditional sentences. The next game will help you ‘refreshing’ those contents.

Natural Science (Wednesday 18th March 2020).


Buenos días, familias.

Cada día iré colgando algo nuevo en el blog, pero sería bueno que los chavales echaran un vistazo a entradas anteriores haciendo un repaso en las pestañas de las tres áreas. Todo lo que son videos y canciones se pueden ver más de una vez, al igual que los juegos.

A pesar de proponer actividades más o menos curriculares, no se me escapa que son muchas horas y que es conveniente dedicar tiempo a tareas menos escolares pero muy importantes. Es posible que muchas de las cosas que os propongo ya os hayan llegado por otros canales, ¡está todo el mundo tan conectado! Aun así, me han hablado bien de esta web y me gustaría compartirla con vosotros.


Un saludo y mucho ánimo.

Good morning, everyone! 
What about some Natural Science? There are a few things I want you to do today.

FIRST.
Do these two activities. You can write them down in your notebook. They are very easy.

Classify the next elements. Are they SOLID, LIQUID or GAS?

BREAD, MILK, OXYGEN, VAPOUR, BLOOD, GLASS, WATER, HAILSTONE, SNOWFLAKE, CARBON DIOXIDE

SOLID
LIQUID
GAS











Complete the next texts with the next words:


amount, level, cylinder, space, higher, scale, grams, litres,
 

Mass is the _________ of matter something contains. For example, a watermelon has more matter than a lemon. This means it has a _________ mass. A computer has a higher mass than a piece of paper. You can use a balance or a _______ to find the mass of an object. They will tell you the mass of the objects in _________ (g) and kilograms (kg).

Volume is the amount of __________ an object occupies. To measure the volumen of an object of any shape, first put water in a measuring cup or ___________. Measure the water _________. Then put an object into the cup. Measure the water level again. Subtratc the new measurement from the first one. This gives you the object’s volumen in millilitres (ml) or _________ (l).

SECOND.

Watch the next video very slowly and paying attention. It is a bit longer than usual, but it goes over some interesting contents: mass, volumen, density…


THIRD.

Try to do this interactive worksheet about materials (as you did yesterday with the Future worksheet).

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). 


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.

Ramón C. 

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.
