Plants project in 2nd grade

Kids from 2nd grade have been 2 weeks working in a project about plants. They already know a lot of things about them so they created their own plant and wrote all the different parts and explained what they need to grow up. Also, they drew it in a big poster and did an oral presentation in front of the rest of the pupils.

Density experiment

Kids from 3rd grade have learnt what "density" is. In Science class, kids helped me to make an experiment to demonstrate that all liquids have different density and we made some hypotesis about what would happen if we put in a same pot water, oil and alcohol.

Some of them said all the 3 liquids would mix together, some of them said just water and alcohol would mix and others said all 3 liquids would stay separated.

So we did the experiment in class, and as water and alcohol are both transparent, we coloured water with colour red and alcohol with colour blue.

For the experiment, we needed:

- 2 plastic glasses

- Bottle of oil

- Bottle of alcohol 96º

- Water

- Blue and red food colouring

- Spoons

First, we coloured the water with red food colouring. Then, we coloured alcohol with blue food colouring. Then, we added in the water glass, the oil and we could see this liquid floats on the water. Later, we added carefully the alcohol in the same glass and we could see this liquid floats on the oil and on the water.

The result, as you can see, was successful! We had in a glass 3 different liquids, separated by colours red, yellow and blue. 

So kids learnt that water has more density than oil and alcohol and that makes them float on it.

They enjoyed the lesson a lot!!!

Experiments in 1st grade

This week in 1st grade, pupils have been working about materials and we have done some experiments all together. They could smell, touch and see different objects and materials and we could see some reactions and different mixtures.
Kids enjoyed it so much and now they want to try to do it in their homes!

Plants - observation

In 2nd grade we are still making some observations and experiments with the plants the kids planted in the classroom. Every week we compare all the differences from the week before, we water them and do different observations of the parts of the plants as the roots, stem, leaves, etc.

Look at 2nd grade plants! They have grown so fast!!!

How do you go to school?

In 3rd grade we have been working about "Energy" all this term. Today we did a graphic about our personal use of energy by going to school.
I asked the children to tell the rest of the classmates about which transport they use to go to school every day.
They spoke in English in front of the class and later they put their name on the graphic so we could see which transport was the main used by kids.

Plants project in 1st grade

In first grade, last week and this current week we have been doing a project about plants. In groups, they had to think about a plant they liked and draw it in a cardboard. They had to write down the parts of the plants they already know and finally, they did an oral presentation in class about their plant.

Here you are the different groups with their posters:

Plants poster in 2nd grade

Last week, in 2nd grade all boys and girls made a poster all together about the plants. I cut out some parts of the plant and also some conditions that plants need to grow up, and each kid came to the front of the class and put one of the cut-outs on the correct place, saying the name of the part in English.

The activity was so fun and the result was absolutely beautiful!

Plants grown up - Experiment!

This 3rd term, kids from 2nd grade will be working about plants in Science lessons. Today we planted four different plants inside 4 plastic cups and we will be observing and looking plants during this term and studying how they grow up, what do they need for it and kids will be caring of them. Thats why days before we did a list of all the things plants need to grow up.
Today I brought all the materials to plant them and kids were the ones who planted the seeds.
They put some cotton inside the plastic cups, then the lentils and beans seeds and finally more cotton on the seeds. After this process, they watered the plants and we put them in the balcony of the classroom so this weekend the plants will have light, air and sun.

We will be observing during the weeks how they grow up and we will learn through experimenting different changes of the plants.

Here you are some pictures from today:

What colour are your eyes?

Yesterday, taking into account the 5 senses, the kids from 1st grade made a graphic in Science class about the colour of their eyes. The main question was: "What colour are your eyes?".
I gave them some pictures of eyes for colouring, and after writing their name, they had to come in front of the class and answer the question to everyone.
They had a good time doing this activity and at the same time, they talked English in public and worked a little with Maths, counting numbers in English and making the graphic.

Invertebrates

On March, kids from 3rd grade are learning more about invertebrate animals. This week, the students have been working on a small project in pairs. The aim of this activity was to learn more about an specific invertebrate and being experts of it.
They looked for some information we studied in previous lessons and they created a small poster about the animal they choosed.
The posters were so nice and they did such a great job!

What are we wearing?

Hello everyone! During these weeks we have been working about clothes.... hat, shoes, t-shirt, trousers. Also, I tried to itroduce the color and the name of the clothes, example: blue trouser, yellow hat, brown shoes. And the result was amazing!!! four years old kids are learning that the adjective goes before the name.
Moreover, Tuesday afternoon one student lied down the floor and we draw her body. After this, we decided what she will be wearing. Our decisio was..."she is wearing a multicolor dress, orange hat, and brown shoes. Here you have some pictrures about the process and all of us.
I hope you will like it!!! He had a lot of fun

Mr. Potato's Five Senses

In 1st grade we are studying the 5 senses and last week all the kids built Mr. Potato's 5 senses. While they were sticking all the different parts, they had to say in english "I can touch with my hands / I can see with my eyes..." etc.
They enjoyed it a lot and Mr. Potato is on the wall of the class as the "pet" of the Science lessons.

Describing our Town

Hello everyone! during January we have been working about towns and cities.For do it, each student in pairs they had to inveint their cities or town and describe them. The idea was great! they were very engaged and involve with the project. Here you have a video of two students of 4th grade describing their town. The places there are or there aren't on it.
Lovely project girls!! great job!

Our 5 senses!

Today it was so funny in Science class. On February, kids from 1st grade of Primary will be working everything about the Five Senses.
Last day we created a poster with all the class and learnt that our five senses are related with different parts of our face and body.
Today, we all made a video about it! Kids had to say:
- I can (action) with my (part of the body).

We had a really good time doing it and they learnt so fast the English structures!
Here you are some of the videos the teacher recorded in the classroom:

Types of food in 1st grade

On January, children from 1st grade have been working about food in Science. They all together created a big poster with the different types of food. They wanted to draw by themselves the aliments and then glued it on the posters.
The final result is so creative and they enjoyed doing it a lot.

Working with Maths in Science!

Hello everyone!
This second term the kids from 2nd grade have been studying the food in Science. Today we have been working Maths doing a graphic all together about eating vegetables.
The kids had to write their name in a piece of paper and they had to come to the front of the class and say:
"I eat vegetables ___ times in a week"

As we can see in the picture, most of the children of 2nd grade eat vegetables few times in a week, but a lot of them eat a lot or everyday.
It was so interesting to see how the graphic was growing at the same time they were explaining to the others the times they eat vegetables in a week.

WELCOME

When you enter this little room consider yourself one of the special  member of a group who enjoys working and learning.

Here you have our English classroom where

everyone is WELCOME. IF YOU'RE IN IS TO WORK LEARN AND... HAVE A LOT OF FUN!!

PEACE DAY!!

Hello everyone!
This Monday (30th of January 2017) was PEACE DAY!
We decidde to do something related with it to decorate our corridor. Here you have our result!
First I projected on the digital blackboard the final result (how it was supposed to be) so that, the kids could have an idea about what was I talking about.
After, I gave them a piece of cardboard and they had to draw their hands. Then they cut it and stick it on the poster.
