Sixth Graders: Unit 1_ Ecology

Hello there,

Next Monday we will finish this unit about Ecology and we will move on to something completely different: our body and the function of interaction.

As a final activity there will be a reading comprehension activity (Mon 17) and a few questions related to the contents we have worked on. Take a look at the file below (maybe you would like to create your own science folder and save all the important documents?).

Bitesize: food chains


See you on Monday!

Miss Laura

Welcome to a new School Year!!!

Dear all,

It is time we get this wonderful space working full-time. Some of you already know it, some others don't.

Here you will be able to check important things, such as homework, assignment deadlines, what to review for your tests... I will also upload some of the material we use in class, like presentations and handouts, so you can save in and use them at home. But not only that: there will be some games, videos and other insteresting material for you to learn new things at home.

Feel free to comment and make sure you check it every couple of days. This will only work if we all participate.

Welcome to the machine!

Love,

Miss Laura

Sixth Graders: Reviewing for Science and Technology Test

Hey kids,

Below you will find the link to Bitesize and all the activities we did today. You will also find the link to the website where you can do the rest of the questions (in Spanish). Remember we have done the ones on the left; the ones on the right are yet to be done.

Here you can review not only about Natural Sciences, but also about Physics (forces: friction, gravity...) and Chemistry (mixtures, materials...). Take a look at the Environment section and Health section. Well, just play around and see what you find. If you have any questions, please post them here, so we can all learn together.

Back after a while

Hello there!

Well, after a couple of weeks I have managed to get this space up and running again.
Please, keep watching. We are getting dangerously close to the end of the school year. A lot will happen on this site.

Big hugs,

Laura

6th Graders: Lateral thinking contest!

If the question is "H-O?", what is the answer?

First correct answer gets a little treat on Monday.

Big hugs,

Laura

6th Graders: Energy

Howdy, my little ducklings!!

Next week we will continue talking about energy. These are the questions you need to answer (and therefore, must UNDERSTAND):

1.- What is energy?'

2.- Types of energy and where to find them.

3.- Sources of energy.

4.- Renewable and non- renewable sources of energy.

5.- Transformation.

This link might come in handy.

Welcome to a whole new world!

Howdy, my little ducklings!

I have been thinking (for a quite a while now) about how to keep all the work we do in class in one single place, and have come to the conclussion that a blog is the best option!

Here you will find all the resources we use in class, reminders about homework, activities and tests, and links and other interesting stuff about the wonderful wold of English Language and Science.

Please feel free to leave any comments about the blog. I need your help to improve it!!!
