The composition of air

This video teaches us about the gases that make up air.  It also tells us about the layers of the atmosphere.

Funny videos about the WEATHER

In Year 3 we are studying weather and climate.  These two videos are great fun!

Transport song for my Year2 classes

We have been learning this song today.  I'll give you the words tommorrow so you can practise well at home.

Still Life in the Art class

Since we have been studying food, we thought it would be a good idea to work on a Still Life.  We concentrated really well and enjoyed sitting on the floor.  You could hear a pin drop!!

Homework Year 3

Dear Year3 parents,
In Natural Science we are now moving on and starting Unit 3 about Healthy Habits.  Your children will take an exam on Friday 11th December in which Unit 2 & 3 will be tested together.

I take this opportunity to remind you that in our evaluation system, the exams count only for 30 percent of the final mark.  The work in their notebooks counts for 40 percent and the dossier is 30 percent.  I am finding that homework is not always completed: tasks are left undone, diagrams are unfinished and the dossiers have work missing. I have already talked to the children about the consequences that this will have on their termly marks.  We don´t want unpleasant surprises.

Queridos padres/madres,
En Ciencias Naturales estamos comenzando la Unidad 3 sobre Hábitos de vida saludable.  Sus hij@s harán el examen de ambos temas el día 11 de diciembre.

Aprovecho esta oportunidad para recordarles que en el sistema de evaluación, el examen cuenta solamente un 30% de la notal final de la Unidad Didáctica.  El trabajo que realizan en sus cuadernos cuenta un 40% y el dosier que entregan con el examen es un 30%.  Con frecuencia veo que algunos alumn@s  siempre vienen con los deberes sin hacer: hay tareas y diagramas sin terminar, y dosieres a los que les faltan trabajos.  He hablado en clase sobre las consecuencias que esto puede tener para la nota trimestral.  No queremos sorpresas.

We love our class diary

It's great to see that you all like taking the class diary home.  There is a big waiting list  in both Year3 classes as everybody wants to contribute with lovely illustrations.  I'm glad that's happening! I´ve always loved diaries!

Es estupendo ver como os gusta llevar a casa el diario de clase.  Hay una lista de espera en las dos clases de tercero ya que todo@s quieren ilustrarlo.  ¡Me encanta que esto ocurra! Siempre me han gustado los diarios.

Year 3 Natural Science homework

A big hello to my Year 3 kiddies!
This weekend you will be working on several things:
1. Finish the exercises 2 and 3 about food.
2. Revision worksheet about nutrients.  You should do it on the worksheet itself so there is no need to copy the whole thing in your notebook.
3. Keep up with your food diary.  By Monday you should have completed day 4.
4. Do the Healthy and Unhealthy food quiz with your family.  We did it in class and it's published in this blog.
5. Dance to the song "Food groups are rockin' tonight" and practice the lyrics.

Apart from that, don't forget to eat healthy food, rest, play and be happy!
See you on Monday!

Our English library

We are now getting there with our English library!  We hope to have everything ready for the end of term, so we can start getting books out after the Christmas holidays.  We thank Rocío, a mum from Year2B, for her help with the library cards.  They are now ready and waiting to be laminated.

Ya casi está preparada nuestra biblioteca de libros en inglés.  Esperamos poder llevarnos libros a casa a partir del próximo trimestre.  Agradecidos a Rocío, una mamá de 2ºB, por su ayuda con los carnets de la biblioteca.  Ya los tenemos preparados para plastificarlos.

We are also making cards for each book so we know which titles we have in our library.  The cards will help us to locate the books and to put them back in the correct boxes.

Cada libro tiene una tarjeta para que sepamos que títulos tenemos en nuestra biblioteca.  Las tarjetas también nos ayudarán a localizar los libros y a devolverlos a la caja adecuada.

Red shoes in Year 6

Miss Juani's Year 6 class brought red shoes today following the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women celebrated yesterday.  The red shoes looked great in our sunny playground near the wall display we had made together.  Doing these things is important!  It's time well spent! Excellent work!

La clase de 6º de la seño Juani ha traído zapatos rojos al cole esta mañana siguiendo el Día Internacional contra la Violencia de Género celebrado ayer.  Los zapatos han quedado muy bien en el patio cerca de nuestro mural.  Hacer estas cosas es importante y nunca es tiempo perdido. ¡Bien hecho!

Stories: The Pied Piper of Hamelin

Thank you Paula (Year3B) for sharing your book with us.  Reading The Pied Piper of Hamelin together has been great fun.  I can see that you all understand a lot of English now!  Well done! there will be more!

Paula de la clase de 3ºB ha compartido con nosotros su libro "El flautista de Hamelin".  Ha sido muy divertido leerlo y además veo que entendéis cada vez más inglés.  ¡Enhorabuena a todo@s! Desde luego que habrá más.

La dieta saludable: equilibrada y suficiente

Watch this video in Spanish about what a balanced and healthy diet is.  You know most of it already since you have worked very hard with this project.

Try also this quiz in English about healthy and unhealthy food.  It's loud, it's crazy and it's a lot of fun!

Food groups explained

Let's look at the different food groups and what they do for us.  This video is in English and you may not always understand, but I'm sure you will get the main ideas because we have already studied them in class.

International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

What a beautiful display we have made this morning at school! Indeed, if we all work together in peace, we will achieve beautiful things!





Well done, everybody!

A song about our senses

We loved this song in the Year2 class. We dance, sing and read the lyrics ... and we learn a lot!!!

Food groups are rockin´ tonight! Song

Listen and dance to this song about food groups and learn about nutrients at the same time!

Well done, Year 2!  You did great illustrations of this little book!

What a good gardener!

Have you seen how much Alberto's beans have grown?  Well done!  You're a good gardener!

 ¿Habéis visto como ha crecido la planta de Alberto?  ¡Esta hecho un gran jardinero!

Our collection of words

In Year 2 we have been collecting words with the same sounds.  This is good training for our listening skills because we learn to hear and identify sounds we don't have in Spanish.  It is also good for our spelling in English.

En 2º hemos estado coleccionando palabras con el mismo sonido.  Esto es ideal para entrenar nuestro oído porque aprendemos a escuchar e identificar sonidos que no tenemos en castellano.  También es bueno para aprender mejor la ortografía de la lengua inglesa.

Homework story for Year 2: "The Dancing Fly"

Go to the reading link, page 2, story 5.

This time we are reading The Dancing Fly.  It's a story where there are rhyming words and we need to find them.    This can be a bit complicated in English so we need to listen carefully to train our ear.  If you cannot find the words that rhyme, don't worry!  I'll give them to you on a new entry next week.  Happy reading!

Por favor, id al enlace de lecturas de la columna, página 2, cuento 5.

Este fin de semana vamos a leer The Dancing Fly.  Es un cuento donde hay palabras que riman y tenemos que encontrarlas.  Esto puede ser un poco complicado en inglés.  Por eso debemos escuchar con cuidado para ir entrenando nuestro oído. Si no puedes encontrar las rimas no te preocupes.  Las publicaré en una nueva entrada durante la semana.  ¡Feliz lectura!
