STORY TIME: CELEBRATING ST. PATRICK'S DAY

Good morning kids!!!

How are you today? I am fine and working hard for you.

Today is Wednesday the 18th and we are going to sing, dance and watch two stories about St. Patrick because yesterday was St. Patrick's Day and you all know that we always celebrate it at school. 

After singing, dancing and watching the stories you can draw something about St. Patrick if you feel like it.

I hope you like these videos!!!

Those videos above are the songs you can sing and dance.

Next videos below are about St Patrick's history and facts.

CHANGES OF STATE IN WATER

Hello kids!!!

Here I am again. This time we are going to work a little bit in Natural Science. 

Now that we know that matter is everything around us that has volume and mass, we are going to study water a little bit more. Apart from its importance to life, water can be in the three states: solid, liquid and gas. And when it changes from one state to another due to temperature the process has different names: melting, freezing, evaporation and condensation...

In this occassion, I'd like you to watch this video and do an experiment.

First, watch this video where you can also remember the Water Cycle.

Did you like it? I hope so. Now let's see the experiment:

First, put two ice cubes on a plate and place on a radiator or a sunny place. Look at the time and write down on your notebook what you did and the time you began.

Second, wait for the ice cubes to change the state. Write down how long it took the ice cubes to become liquid and write the name of this change of state.

Third, add some salt to the water in the plate, stir it a bit and place it again on the radiator or the sunny place. Write down the time

Fourth, write down what you observe next, it may take some time. Now, answer to these questions: 

a) What happened to the water in the plate?

b) Was there anything left in the plate? What was it?

c) How do we call this change of state? 

d) Where is the water now?

You can use drawings or take pictures of your experiment and include them in your notebook.

YOGA Y MINDFULNESS

Queridas alumnas y alumnos:

Bioli y yo os echamos mucho de menos y nos acordamos de vosotros continuamente. Esperamos que todos vosotros os encontréis bien y en calma.

Sabemos que no es fácil estar tanto tiempo sin salir a la calle así que es importante que recordéis todo lo que en el colegio estamos practicando para sentirnos en calma y felices.

Nos gustaría que todos los días pusieráis en práctica algún ejercicio de Yoga y/o Mindfulness. A estas alturas ya sabemos unos cuantos.

Todos podemos reconocer nuestra Ancla de la Respiración y desde allí podemos observar lo que pasa en nuestro cuerpo y nuestra mente. Sería bueno que todos los días prestáramos atención a nuestra Ancla durante algunos minutos, 3 - 5 minutos es suficiente.

Aquí os dejo un vídeo que a mi me gusta especialmente porque son las experiencias de otros niños y niñas como vosotros que lo practican. Espero que os guste y os anime a seguir practicando. Podéis practicarlo con alguien más de la familia... Es bueno para todos, nos ayuda y tenemos algo más en común que compartir.

También podemos hacer el recorrido corporal, empezando por los pies y hasta la cabeza para ir reconociendo las sensaciones en el cuerpo. Ya sabéis que es un ejercicio que siempre os he recomendado para cuando nos vamos a la cama, pero esta semana os invito a que lo pongáis en práctica en cualquier otro momento del día además de por la noche.

Por último os dejo también un dibujo con posturas de Yoga para que practiquéis alguna (están en el link de abajo). Ya sabéis sin forzar, escuchando a nuestro cuerpo y respirando en la postura unos minutos. Son todas buenas para estirar el cuerpo ahora bien si necesitamos movernos podemos prestar atención al movimiento rápido y lento, como un astronauta.

WHAT DID YOU DO?

Hello again dear pupils!!!

Yesterday I told you to do some exercises. Today, that is Friday the 13th, we are not going to work with the book. 

We are going to learn this song and have fun. It's easy and we can practise the Simple Past once more.

I'd like you to write to me an e-mail about what you did at the weekend but for that you will have to wait until the weekend is over. 

Happy weekend to all of you!!! 

I love you 

PREHISTORY

Hello kids!!!

Now it's when we begin to get fun in learning History. 

First, it was learning a little bit about time, but now we are going to learn about our ancestors, the first human beings, the first Homo Sapiens...

I'd like you to watch this video first and then you can read in your books pages 82 - 83 and do exercises 4, 5 and 7.

You can watch this video as many times as you want and activate the subtitles for  you to read!!!

WHAT IS MATTER?

Hello kids!!!

Once again I am with you but this time it's time for Natural Science. In this Unit we are going to learn about MATTER and matter is everything around us... everything!!!

I have seen that some of you already did pages 78 - 79... Great!!! Now I want you to watch these videos that will help you to understand. Ready? There we go...

As you can see they also talk about the three states of matter that is what we are going to learn next. In your book you are now going to read pages 80 - 81 and do the exercises 3, 4, 5 and 6 if you have access to the digital book. If not, don't worry because we'll do it at school when we come back.

In here I let you another video that I love. I hope you also enjoy it

SIMPLE PAST

Hello kids again!!!

For you to continue practising the Past Tense watch this video and if you can you can tell someone about what you did yesterday.

I hope you enjoy
