MISTER FROSTY WINTER

Here you can watch the video of the Christmas carol we'll sing and dance on the 22nd of December

It's time to practise at home too!!!

INTERACTION: THE SENSES, THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND THE LOCOMOTOR SYSTEM

 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 the nervous system there 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. 

NUTRITION: THE CIRCULATORY AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEMS

 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 so that you can improve your knowledge.

Next, we are going to learn about the respiratory system.

The respiratory system is another of the systems in connection with the life process of nutrition.

The respiratory system gets oxygen from the air and expels carbon dioxide. All our organs and cells need energy to provide energy to our body.

Here you have some videos to watch and learn more about the respiratory system.

WEATHER AND CLIMATE

 In Social Science we are learning about the weather and climate. 

The weather is so important that everyday we talk about it because the weather changes constantly. 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.

HALLOWEEN 2022

 Este año os invitamos a degustar un suculento a la par que escalofriante menú en nuestro restaurante terrorífico "El Espárrago Podrido"

Y aquí os dejo un recuerdo de la celebración de Halloween de este año. Espero que os gusten las fotos.

Halloween 2022

HUMAN NUTRITION: DIGESTIVE AND EXCRETORY SYSTEMS

 In connection with the three vital processes of living things, we are learning about the different systems that are related to nutrition in the human body . 

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.

NUTRITION (PHOTOSYNTHESIS) AND RESPIRATION IN PLANTS

 In Natural Science, we learned more things about  the nutrition and respiration of plants. 

Plants make their own food, they are PRODUCERS. In contrast, animals and fungi are CONSUMERS, they eat other living things. 

Plants not only make their own food, but they also 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 a video to better understand this process.

But plants are living things and so they also need oxygen. The process in which they take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide is called RESPIRATION.

Here you have the video we watched in class.

ANIMAL NUTRITION

 We already know that nutrition is a vital function of all living things. 

According to their nutrition animals can be divided into three groups: herbivores, carnivores and omnivores.

In this video you can learn things about these three types of animals. 

Enjoy and learn!

THE ANIMAL KINGDOM: INVERTEBRATES AND VERTEBRATES

In Natural Science we continue learning new things about living things and we learned about the Animal Kingdom.

The Animal Kingdom is divided into two main groups: Invertebrates and Vertebrates.

Learn more about this classification with this video.

We began with Invertebrates and here you have the two videos that we have seen at school. 

The first one is about earthworms, those invertebrates that are so beneficial for the soil. The second one is a general one about invertebrates.

 

But we have also reviewed Vertebrates and their classification. You can watch this video about them

GREAT DISCOVERIES IN ASTRONOMY

 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. Civilisations such as Ancient Greeks, Romans or the Mayans also studied Astronomy. However all of these scientists had to observe space just with 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. The Hubble Space Telescope has been in space since April 1990 and it's helping us to understand space a little bit more.

Here you have a short video that explains this to you.

But last year in December 2021 an even more powerful space telescope was launched into space: the James Webb Space Telescope

 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, 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. Astronomy is fascinating, isn't it?

LIFE PROCESSES OR VITAL FUNCTIONS

 We have learned that living things carry out three vital functions: nutrition, interaction and reproduction.

Here you have a video that may help you learn a bit more about these life processes or vital functions. Enjoy, it's real life!!!

THE EARTH'S MOVEMENTS: ROTATION AND REVOLUTION

 In Social Science we are learning about our planet, the Earth.

We learnt about the two movements, rotation and revolution, and what they cause.

Here you have the some videos that you can watch as many times as you like and learn more easily.

ANCIENT ROME: THE ROMAN EMPIRE

 The last period of Ancient History is Ancient Rome or the Roman Empire.

At those times Rome was a very powerful civilisation that ruled over much of Europe, Africa and part of Asia for nearly 1,000 years.

They conquered many lands and we still have many things from them. The language we speak, Spanish, some laws, many buildings and the roads we use today are just a few of them.

Here you have a video where you can watch and learn more about the Romans.

SAN ISIDRO 2022

 El viernes 13 de mayo celebramos en el colegio san Isidro 2022. 

Fue un día muy especial en el que disfrutamos con los juegos populares que teníamos preparados: el pañuelo, la comba, la sillita de la reina, los bolos y la zapatilla por detrás.

También comimos unos deliciosos barquillos y cómo no bailamos un chotis muy rockero. 

Aquí os dejo unas fotos para que tengáis un recuerdo de ese día.

ANCIENT GREECE

 The next great civilisation after the Egyptians was ANCIENT GREECE.

We have still many things from them like democracy, the Olympic Games, the theatre, philosophy, the yo-yo and many more...

Here you have some videos. The first ones are about their culture and way of living and the last one is about Greek Mythology.

Watch them and enjoy!

ANCIENT GREECE

GREEK MYTHOLOGY

ANCIENT EGYPT

 The next period after Prehistory is Ancient History. It is already history because we have written documents.

Ancient Egypt was the first great civilisation of the Mediterranean sea.

We still have many things from them like the irrigation systems for crops.

To review and learn more here you have some videos about this mysterious civilisation.

Hope you enjoy them!

ANCIENT EGYPT

FIVE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ANCIENT EGYPT

THE THREE LITTLE PIGS

 We read the story of The Three Little Pigs and we learned many things.

We compared different versions, we learned some new vocabulary and we wrote ourselves a new version!!!

Here you can see two versions of the story. In the second video you can also read the story once more.

Hope you like it!

MIXTURES AND PURE SUBSTANCES

 In Natural Science we also learned about PURE SUBSTANCES (only one component) and MIXTURES (two or more substances together).

There are two kinds of mixtures:

HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURES: We can't see the substances separately. Example: a lemonade.

HETEROGENEOUS MIXTURES: We can see the substances separately. Example: a salad.

Here you have a short video that explains all these in a very simple way. Please, watch it to learn more.

PREHISTORY

Prehistory is the period before history, the very beginning of human beings.

We learned that Prehistory is divided into three periods:

Palaeolithic, Neolithic and the Metal Age.

Each period has its own characteristics but you better watch these videos to review all we have learned and even to learn more.

PREHISTORY

FIVE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT PREHISTORY

THE INVENTION OF THE WHEEL

MATTER AND ITS PROPERTIES

 We already know that matter is everything around us including ourselves.

Matter can be in three different states: solid, liquid and gas. 

But it can also change from one state to another: solidification or freezing, melting, evaporation, and condensation.

In the following videos you can review all this content.

SAINT PATRICK'S DAY

Last Thursday, 17th March, was Saint Patrick's Day.

We had the opportunity to listen to our teachers playing Irish music and danced with them.

Os invitamos a seguir estas consignas para pasar una semana de arte y alegría.

THE CIRCULATORY AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEMS

We already know that the CIRCULATORY SYSTEM is like a transport system whose engine is our heart.

Here you have three simple videos about the circulatory system where you can learn more things and practise some English.

Hope you like them!

We have also learned about the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM which gets the oxygen we need and expels the carbon dioxide we don't.

Here you have another video to learn more and continue practising English.

In Mindfulness we have seen how important breathing is. So here you have a video where you can breathe and relax with belly breathing.

INTERACTIVE POLITICAL MAP OF EUROPE and VIDEO

Learning the political map of Europe is easy if you practice.

Remember that we are learning only a few of them, the ones that come up in our book. If you want to learn more here you have a video with all the countries, their capitals and their flags. 

Watch it before you practice with the interactive map that comes next.

OUR FIVE SENSES AND THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

In Natural Science we are learning about the five senses and the nervous system that work together with the locomotor system in the life process of INTERACTION.

Every living thing has three vital functions: INTERACTION, NUTRITION AND REPRODUCTION.

Here you have an interesting video about those three vital functions.

Let's begin with the 5 senses: SIGHT, HEARING, SMELL, TASTE and TOUCH which allow us to recognise what is happening around us.

If you want to learn a little bit more and practise some English, I invite you to watch these videos about each of our five senses. There are some fun and interesting facts!!!

SIGHT

HEARING

SMELL

TASTE

TOUCH

We have also learnt that the NERVOUS SYSTEM is made up of the BRAIN, the SPINAL CORD and the NERVES.

You can now learn more by watching these simple videos with extra information and interesting facts.

I hope you enjoy learning with these videos!!!
