HEALTH AND MEDICINE

 In Natural Science we are becoming familiar with  medicine discoveries to help people not to get ill or to cure them once they are ill.

Though there are many scientists and many discoveries, we are going to see some general ideas through some easy videos.

 I hope you like them and you learn a little bit more apart from the contents in your book.

We all know that vaccines are necessary and help us prevent very serious illnesses caused by virus. The first vaccine was discovered in 1796 by Edward Jenner. Here you have two videos in connection with the origin of vaccines and how they work.

We are also learning a little bit about antibiotics that help us cure infections caused by bacteria.

The first antibiotic to be discovered was penicillin. Penicillin was discovered not so long ago, in 1928, by Alexander Fleming.

In the first video you are going to find out a little bit about Alexander Fleming and his discovery. In the second video you will learn something about how antibiotics work.

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.

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.
