Espero que estéis pasando unos días maravillosos en este descanso navideño y que Nochebuena y Navidad pudierais disfrutar en familia.
Aunque un poco tarde no quiero dejar de poneros el vídeo del Belén del cole con la canción que nos dedican algunos profes (canta Patricia, a la guitarra está Javi Morán y al piano Ana música)
Aquí tenéis el vídeo de las campanadas 2020 de Escuelas Bosque que nosotros vimos por Zoom con unos presentadores de lujo: Mirian y Dani.
Y aquí tengo preparadas algunas fotos de nuestra celebración en el cole antes de las vacaciones. También podréis ver un par de vídeos de 4º A y 4º C con la canción navideña que aprendisteis con Ana... ¡es una pena que a 4º B no le diera tiempo! A ver si para la próxima.
In connection with the life process of interaction we have reviewed our 5 senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch). We studied them thoroughly last year, but here you have an interesting video about the organs of sight: our eyes.I hope you find it interesting.
About thenervous systemthere is so much to be said that I have chosen three videos for you to have a general view. I hope you learn a little bit more.
The last, but not least in connection, is our locomotor system that we studied also last year and we study in Physical Education as well. I also found an interesting video about our skeleton.
En la Semana de las Experiencias Científicas vimos cómo funciona el diafragma en el proceso de la respiración. Aquí hay algunas fotos del experimento que hicimos.
Pediros disculpas porque sólo hice fotos en el B. En el A me olvidé... y eso que es mi tutoría... ¡¡¡Despistes que todos tenemos!!!
Today we celebrated Thanksgiving Day with some extra activities.
We watched a ppt with the history of Thanksgiving from its origins to nowadays, we did some crafts and we sang a song that you liked so much that I have decided to upload it here so that you can sing it as many times as you like.
In Social Science we are learning about the weather and climate.
The weather is so important that everyday we talk about the weather because it changes everyday. Now we know that it depends on four elements: temperature, wind, humidity and precipitation.
Climate is the average weather in an area over a long period of time.
I have chosen some videos for you to watch and learn more about the differences between them.
Continuing with the life process of nutrition, this week we learnt about the circulatory system, a system that transports nutrients and oxygen around our body.
Here you have the two videos we watched in class so that you can improve your knowledge.
In connection with the three vital processes all living things carry out, we are learning about the different systems in our human body that are related to nutrition.
The first one we are investigating is the digestive system and, of course, digestion.
Here you have two videos with extra information to help you learn more.
Related to digestion, we are reviewing the excretory system so important to keep us healthy. Here there are another two videos for you to understand better the process of urination.
Today in our Natural Science class, we learn more things about the nutrition and respiration of plants.
Plants make their own food and in doing so they produce oxygen that send out to the atmosphere. This process is called PHOTOSYNTHESIS. And we know that photosynthesis is vital for life on Earth.
Here you have the two videos we watched so you can learn and enjoy.
Astronomy is that part of science that studies outer space focusing on stars, planets, comets, galaxies and so on.
We know that people started to study Astronomy as far back as in Ancient Mesopotamia. Civilizations such as Ancient Greeks, Romans or the Mayans also studied Astronomy. However all of these scientists had to observe space with just their eyes.
Aristotle, an ancient Greek astronomer, calculated that the Earth was not flat but a sphere. He observed that the Earth's shadow on the Moon was curved and that when a ship appeared on the horizon, we could see the top before the rest of the ship.
Copernicus was an astronomer that lived in the early 1500s. He came up with the idea that the Sun was the centre of the universe. This was a complete different believe from the idea that the Earth was the centre of the universe.
With the invention of the telescope in the early 1600s, scientists were able to see much further objects and were able also to have a better view of the Moon and the planets.
Galileo Galilei began to study Copernicus' work and felt that his observations of the planets were correct and that the Sun was the centre. This believe was really controversial at that time. Galileo heard of the invention of the telescope in Holland and he decided to build his own telescope. Soon Galileo's version of the telescope was used in all Europe.
Galileo made many discoveries using his telescope: the four large moons around Jupiter and the phases of the planet Venus. He also discovered sunspots and that the Moon was covered with craters. As Galileo studied the planets and the Sun he became convinced that the Earth and the other planets orbited the Sun. However the powerful Catholic Church considered his ideas heresy. At first, they sentenced him to life prison but later on they allowed him to live in his house under house arrest.
Since Galileo's time many discoveries have happened and Astronomy has advanced a great deal.
Men have landed on the Moon. We have great telescopes in the space to observe and investigate and since 2000 astronauts have lived on the International Space Station (ISS) that takes 92 minutes to orbit the Earth. Pedro Duque the first Spanish astronaut to go into space tells us about life in the ISS.
Finally, last year Nobel Prize in Physics 2019 was awarded to two astronomers Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz for discovering an exoplanet orbiting a star. That means that right now there are many astronomers looking for planets orbiting stars that have water, liquid water. This is fascinating, isn't it?
El 21 de febrero celebramos Carnaval en el cole y puesto que Convivimos en un Bosque de Emociones todos representamos una de las muchas emociones que hemos aprendido.
La nuestra fue la alegría y cantamos y animamos a todos con nuestro Carnaval, carnaval...
Pasamos una tarde muy alegre y aquí os dejo las fotos que hizo teacher Laura con mi cámara...
Como la sorpresilla aún no está preparada os voy a ir subiendo algunas fotos del curso para que podáis ir recordando los buenos momentos vividos juntos.
Aquí os dejo las que tengo del festival de Navidad y de la visita de SS.MM Reyes Magos.
Os había dicho que poco a poco iría compartiendo los recuerdos de este curso.
Así que empezaré por una semana muy especial al comienzo del curso, entre el 4 y el 8 de noviembre, la semana de las experiencias científicas y matemáticas.
Del taller que hicisteis con Jose no tengo fotos pero sí tengo de los dos experimentos que hicimos en ciencias.
En el primero contamos con la ayuda de Elena, la mamá de Irati, y vimos qué es eso de la energía estática y pudimos comprobarlo con globos de colores... Fue muy divertido e interesante.
¡Gracias Elena por tu ayuda!
En el segundo nos ayudó el profe Carlos y construimos una brújula de agua, ¿os acordáis? Esta vez utilizamos imanes y una aguja de coser normal y corriente pero pudimos comprobar cómo apuntaba al norte.
Aquí os dejo unas fotos. Pinchad en el link de abajo para verlas todas.
Today is time to review what we learnt in Natural Science about plants and animals.
I have some videos for you to watch, review and learn more things about these two kingdoms.
Here you have two videos about the plant kingdom and the plant sexual reproduction. They are very interesting and you are going to learn more things about these living things so essential for life on Earth.
You learnt many things about animals but it's always good to refresh our knowledge. In the animal kingdom we know that there are two big groups, vertebrates and invertebrates. So here you can watch two videos about these two large groups.
How are you today? Are you happy or sad, tired or full of energy, sleepy or awake?
Today is Wednesday the 10th of June and it's sunny and warm... A perfect day to watch and read our last fairy tale: The Lion and the Mouse.
This is a beautiful story about a peculiar friendship... It's important not to underestimate other people because we can never know what they can do for us or how they can help us.
Hoy en Educación en Valores vamos a ver y leer una corta historia que nos enseña a valorar a todas las personas sin importar las diferencias porque todos y cada uno de nosotros somos especiales, únicos y valiosos.
Es cierto que todos tenemos defectos, de eso no se salva nadie. Sin embargo, lo importante no son los defectos sino las cualidades porque todos tenemos cualidades y por lo tanto todos somos necesarios y tenemos un papel importante en la vida. Esto es lo que debemos descubrir y valorar en nosotros mismos y en los demás.
Es importante que descubramos qué cualidad tengo que puede ayudar a los demás. Así pues tras ver y leer esta fábula me gustaría que pensarais en esa cualidad o cualidades que valoráis en vosotros mismos. Si queréis escribirla o hacer un dibujo, perfecto y luego me lo mandáis.
How are you today? I hope you are all feeling well in this beautiful spring morning.
Today is Wednesday the 27th of May and it's story time. This time we are going to listen and read at the same time the story in our Student's Book: Aniz, the shepherd boy pages 90 - 91. Remember you have the story in your Activity Book CD, track 27 and 28.
Once you have read and listened to the story you can do the activities in the Activity Book pages 90 - 91. In exercise 2 you have to cross out the incorrect information in the sentences but exercise 3 asks you to write the sentences again with the correct information. Don't forget!!!
And as you like watching videos and singing I leave you here two videos with a song by The Beatles. The song is Yellow Submarine.
In the first video you can see the trailer of the film with this song and in the second one is the lyrics of the song so that you can sing it if you feel like it.
Today Irati wants to share with us a recipe to make dinosaur footprint cookies. She already baked them and they look delicious as you can see in these photos:
And here you have the recipe if you feel like cooking them yourselves...
Hoy en Valores vamos a hablar de la importancia del esfuerzo.
Todos sabemos que el éxito no viene de la noche a la mañana, para tener éxito en la vida el esfuerzo es esencial.
Cuando sabemos lo que realmente queremos es importante ir a por ello y continuar esforzándonos día a día, incluso cuando las cosas parecen que no van a salir bien. Si seguimos esforzándonos al final lo conseguiremos.
Ya sabéis lo que siempre os he dicho sobre aprender a andar. Cuando nos caemos hay que levantarse de nuevo si no lo hubiéramos hecho de pequeñitos nunca hubiéramos aprendido a andar.
Hoy os dejo un bonito corto de animación relacionado con este tema. ¡Espero que os guste!
Como siempre espero vuestros dibujos y escritos sobre la importancia del esfuerzo.
Today we are going to learn some facts about the last period of History: MODERN AGE OR CONTEMPORARY AGE.
Contemporary Age began with the Industrial Revolution at the end of the 18th century and it lasts up to nowadays, beginning of the 21st century.
We already know that the Industrial Revolution, with the invention of the steam engine, caused many changes in society. People began to move from rural areas to big cities in order to work in factories. Cities began to grow but there were big differences in society. There were rich people whose children had the opportunity to go to school and poor people whose children didn't go to school but worked in factories.
This Revolution began in Great Britain but it extended all over the world. The products that we need began to be produced in factories using machines and not in small shops where products were handmade.
There was also a revolution in new technologies with the invention of the telegraph and a revolution in transportation with steam trains and boats.
Since those days there have been many changes. Everybody began to live in better conditions. All the children can now go to school and there are hospitals for everybody.
These are some of the many inventions: the radio, the television, the cinema, the car, the aeroplane, even the rockets to go to outer space and, of course, the invention of the Internet. With all this inventions, entertainment (entretenimiento) also changed.
Here you have a video about the Industrial Revolution that changed everything in society.
In your Social Science book you canread some more information at pages 94 - 95 and do exercise 4 at page 95.
Next lesson we will finish our timeline by writing the most important information of this period.
I hope that you enjoyed learning History from the beginning of times until today.
Este mes de mayo en el colegio trabajamos la emoción del amor.
Son tantas las cosas que se pueden decir del amor que a veces es mejor no decir mucho, pero todos sabemos que no podemos vivir sin amor. Eso es seguro.
También sabemos que hay muchos tipos de amor: el amor a los amigos, el amor a tu madre y a tu padre, el amor a los animales, el amor a las plantas, el amor a tus hermanos, el amor a la música... y la lista sería interminable.
Hoy me gustaría que escucharais este cuento que se titula ¿Qué es el amor?
Después de escucharlo cada uno de vosotros me vais a decir qué es el amor para vosotros y si no sabéis expresarlo con palabras podéis también expresarlo con colores y dibujos. ¡Espero recibir muchos! y seguro que son todos preciosos.
Bueno, aquí os dejo el cuento. Espero que os guste...
How are you today? I hope you are alright. I am fine and ready to begin working.
Today is Wednesday the 13th of May and as every Wednesday it's story time.
I chose a fairy tale that I love "The elves and the shoemaker"
In this story we are going to learn how being kind to people is always worthy. Kindness always pays off.
But let's stop talking and listen to the story while you read it at the same time. Later on you can write your reading report and feel free to make a picture if you feel like it.
In Natural Science we continue learning about machines.
Today we are going to learn about a machine that changed History: the STEAM ENGINE (la máquina de vapor) that was invented about 250 years ago.
Before this invention, most objects were made by hand but with the invention of the steam engine, objects could be made by machines. This invention was the beginning of the Industrial Revolution because factories (fábricas) began to be numerous and the artisans and workshops decreased in number.
The steam engine uses hot steam from boiling water to move a wheel in a chain. So this invention was also very important in transportation with ships and trains. A steam train or a steam boat could transport more people and more products faster than a stagecoach (diligencia o coche de caballos) or a sailing boat (barco de vela). This was the transport revolution. Here you have two pictures. The steamboat was used in my village in Galicia when I was a kid!!!
Here you have a short video in connection with this invention that I hope you enjoy
The next invention is the TELEGRAPH that started the communication revolution that continues to our days. The telegraph was invented by Samuel Morse in 1,836 and it was the beginning of electronic communication such as we do right now using smartphones or computers.
If you are interested in learning a bit more, here you have a video about this invention.
In your Natural Science book pages 102 - 103you have some information and more pictures. I'd like you to do exercise 4.
How are you today on this spring morning? I wish you are alright. I am fine a bit later than usual because I again had problems with my computer.
But now everything is alright and I can work with sound again. Yesterday afternoon I couldn't hear anything. The kids that were with me in the Zoom meeting know about it.
Wednesday is time for story telling. Today is Wednesday the 6th of May so this time I chose a traditional tale "Little Red Riding Hood".
I know you all know the story but I want you to read and listen at the same time to the story I am going to upload. Once you watch the video and read the story at the same time I want you to write the reading report. I leave in here a link to the one we are using in case it helps you to organize your writing.
