Science project: Vertebrate and invertebrate animals!

 This term in Science (3rd grade) we have done the project "Vertebrate and invertebrate animals"!

We have studied the differences between vertebrate and invertebrate animals, the five groups of vertebrate animals that we can find, and the main characteristics of each one of them. Also, we have seen some examples of animals that are in danger of extinction and the reasons for this. 

To acquire all these contents, we have worked in groups cooperatively to make a poster and an oral exposition of one of the groups of vertebrate and invertebrate animals. Also, we have done one Science experiment called "How do arctic animals keep warm?". Finally, to finish the project, we have done an "arts&crafts" activity... can you find the chameleons camouflaged in the paintings?

It has been so fun and we have learned a lot!

Science project: Ecosystems!

This term in Science (4th grade) we have done the project "Ecosystems"!

We have studied the biotic and abiotic elements of an ecosystem, how do animals adapt to their environment and the characteristics of the main ecosystems that we can find on our planet.

To acquire all these contents, we have worked in groups cooperatively to make a poster, a model and an oral exposition of one of the main ecosystems of the world. Also, we have done a couple of Science experiments! 

It has been so fun and we have learned a lot!

                             

The Witches - Roald Dahl

The last day before Christmas holidays we went to the cinema to watch the film "The Witches"!

Now, we are experts on witches, so we have created the following posters to help the students of the school to be able to identify them. 

They have big scary mouths, long gloves, big noses and... they always wear wigs! Be careful! If they offer you chocolate... don't accept it!

English Corners!

One afternoon every two weeks, we do Corners in the English class! 

In groups, the students rotate around the different corners, where they find games to learn English. 

Some of them are: boardgames, Bingo, memory, pictionary and other vocabulary games. Sometimes, there is as well a reading corner. 

Students learn English at the same time they have fun!

 

Oral presentation of the solar system planets!

This term, in Science (4th grade) we are doing the project of "The Universe". We have been studying the  solar system, the Milky Way galaxy, the planets and other celestial bodies like asteroids, comets and meteorites.

To learn about the different characteristics of the solar system planets, in groups the students looked for information in books and internet, and they designed a poster of a specific planet. At the end, each group did an oral presentation of their planet. They did a great job!

Happy Halloween!

This week we have learned a lot of new vocabulary related to the festivity of Halloween. Also, we have done some Jack o' lantern crafts, pumpkins and other scary crafts! It was so fun!

However, last Friday something happened... Suddenly, the door of the class closed, and we had to use our brain and work in groups to solve different puzzles, riddles and enigmas to leave the class. The escape room was not easy, but we found the key to open the door at last minute!
