Simple machines with recycled materials

Hello children,

As you remember I told you yesterday you could do an optional activity. It is about making a simple machine using recycled materials. It is NOT compulsory, just for the ones that want to do it. Here you can see some examples:

Summary audios

Hello again.

Here you can listen to your summaries:

BIRDS

FISH 

Next week we will study about AMPHIBIANS, MAMMALS and REPTILES. :)


Bye bye ;)

What do we need to know?

Hello guys,

During this week we have studied about birds and fish. Here you have the information you need to know about these two groups:


BIRDS

What is a bird?

Birds are vertebrate animals. It means they have a backbone or spine.

What are their characteristics?

-The main characteristic of a bird are the feathers. It is the only animal that has them.

- Other important features for birds are wings and hollow bones, which make the bird light in order to fly.

- They are endothermic. Also known as “warm-blooded”, they regulate their own body temperature which allows them to live in almost every climate on Earth.

- They are oviparous. They lay eggs with hard, waterproof shells. 

Where do they live?

Different species of birds suit different types of natural habitats. A habitat includes all four necessities for a bird´s survival: food, water, shelter and nesting sites.

• Non-migratory birds occupy the same habitat year-round, but may adjust their behaviour to suit different seasons.
• Migratory birds change habitats seasonally, and they may be hundreds or thousands of miles apart. They seek out similar habitats that meet their needs in different locations at different times of the year.

FISH

WHAT IS A FISH?

Fish are the biggest group of vertebrates. Fish live in fresh water or in the sea. Most fish are oviparous, but sharks, for example, are viviparous.

MAIN CHARACTERICTICS

• They are cold-blooded animals that live in the water. They can´t control their body temperature.

• Reproduction: Most fish are oviparous. Some fish keep their eggs in their mouth until they hatch.
• Nutrition: Fish can be carnivores, herbivores or omnivores.

• Respiration: They breathe with their gills. They take in oxygen from the water through their mouth and release carbon dioxide through their gills.
• Physical characteristics: They have a tail and fins which help them move around. Their skin is covered in scales which protect their body.

TYPES OF FISH

There are 32.000 different species of fish. There are three major types or classes of fish:

1.              Jawless fish: For example lampreys and hagfish.

2.              Cartilaginous fish: They are jawed vertebrates with skeletons made of cartilage not bone.  Some examples are sharks and rays.

3.              Bony fish: They have got a skeleton made of bone. Salmon, tunas, etc. are examples of this type.

On Monday, I will ask you some questions about it. Remember to do your own summary at home:

STEPS TO CREATE YOUR SUMMARY OR POSTER:

1. I read the information at least twice.

2. I underline the most important information.

3. I check the words I don´t understand.

4. I organise the ideas in a craft.

5. I create my summary or my poster.

Have a nice weekend,

Paula :)

New things!

Good afternoon everyone,

This week has been great. On Monday we had Ismael´s dad presentation about DNA. The experiment was really funny. Thanks Pedro!

We have done the summaries about vertebrates. Next week we will prepare the presentations :)
The first group  we are studying is birds.

Here you can see a video about it:

Remember to listen to your minibook.
Have a nice weekend! See you on Monday,

Paula

Photosynthesis and respiration questions

Hello class,

You need to be able to answer these questions:


What is photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make their own food.

What do they need to make the food?

They need: water, carbon dioxide and sunlight.

What do the roots absorb?

They absorb water and minerals from the soil.

Where does photosynthesis take place?

Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves of plants

How does the carbon dioxide pass through the leaves?

Carbon dioxide passes through small holes called stomata.

How do plants absorb energy from the sun? (difficult) 

Inside the cells of the plants there are small structures called chloroplasts. Each chloroplast contains a green chemical called chlorophyll which gives leaves their green colour and absorbs light from the sun.

What do plants release in photosynthesis?

Plans release oxygen when they do photosynthesis.

What is the food for plants?

Glucose is the food for plants. When plants do photosynthesis they produce glucose and oxygen.

What do plants absorb and release during respiration?

During respiration plants absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

When do plants do photosynthesis?

Plants do photosynthesis during daytime because they need the sun´s energy.

When do plants respire?

Plants respire during all day.


 

Bye bye kids!

Paula

Things we did and things to do

Hello everybody,

How are you? This week has been very short! But we have done some things....

We went to the museum on Monday and then on Tuesday we created a poster about plant classification and plant reproduction.

Yesterday we did learning stations and today we have done a grammar worksheet about "was/ were" and continued working on our field notebooks.

WAS/WERE GAME 1

WAS/ WERE GAME 2

For homework we will have to read the minibook. You can listen to some of them here (BOOK LOAN PAGE)

Also, you have to do a writing using verbs in PAST.

Here you are some examples:

WENT,  WATCHED,   STUDIED,   TALKED,   PLAYED,   VISITED,   TRAVELLED,   PRACTISED,  SAW,   READ,   LISTENED, ETC.

Daniela´s presentations :D

Well done Daniela. you have done a great job!!


:) I am so proud of you!


PLANT PRESENTATION

THE POLLINATION PRESENTATION

Field notebook :)

Hello everyone,

We are creating a field notebook with plants we are finding.

This is how the first page looks like.  AMAZING!

Hugo has brought some molecules. You can see them below:

I have THREE questions for you:

What do the roots absorb?

What so the plants release when they do  the photosynthesis?

What do plants release when they breathe?

LEAVE A COMMENT WITH THE ANSWERS! :)

Photosynthesis

Hello everyone,

Yesterday we were singing a song about photosynthesis and predicting about how a plant would be without water or sun. 

Here you can listen to the song and see the pictures. :)

Peace Day song

Se paró el reloj
en el andén de la estación,
despertó una canción,
en un rincón del corazón.
Son de aquí, son de allá,
se fueron sin poder hablar.
Su familia somos todos
y nunca vamos a olvidar.

Amigo conmigo tú puedes contar,
y todos unidos vamos a ganar.

Canta conmigo canta
gritaremos basta ya.
Ven y dame la mano,
los niños queremos la paz.
(BIS)

Nuestra voz llegará
por la tierra y por el mar,
yo estaré, tú estarás
y nunca nos podrán callar.
No nos van a quitar
la esperanza de vivir,
en un mundo sin temor
donde poder ser feliz.

Amigo conmigo tú puedes contar,
y todos unidos vamos a ganar.

Canta conmigo canta
gritaremos basta ya.
Ven y dame la mano,
los niños queremos la paz.
(BIS)

Hoy estamos aquí
te queremos cantar,
los niños queremos la paz.
Hoy estamos aquí
te queremos cantar,
el mundo quiere estar en paz.
Canta conmigo canta
gritaremos basta ya.
Ven y dame la mano,
el mundo quiere estar en paz,
el mundo quiere estar en paz,
el mundo quiere estar en paz.
