Remembering November

In November we did a lot of interesting activities! In Social Science we did a lot of experiments and projects, in Literacy we made a video... but there is more!

We went to the cinema and the theatre.

In Arts and Crafts we created our own planets, and then we used augmented reality (with the app Quiver) to watch them like this:

Some of our works of art include half portraits like these...

And warm colors mandalas like these.

We also celebrated Thanksgiving and wrote the things we are grateful for.

Social Science activities (water)

In Social Science we have been learning a lot about water:
- the different bodies of water we can find on the Earth's surface (lakes, rivers, oceans...)
- the water cycle (evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection)
- the states of water (liquid, solid or gas), and
- the changes of water from one state to another, through evaporation, condensation, melting and freezing.

We used Venn's diagrams to classify the bodies of water.

We observed underground water in a plastic glass and took notes about our observations, using an "I see / I think / I wonder" chart.

And finally we made some concept maps to review all the important facts we have learnt. 

Good job, guys!!

Healthy food (and video!)

In Literacy we have been learning about healthy food and healthy habits. One of the activities was writing a recipe. We had the verbs, vocabulary and the structure, so we created great recipes.

And we decided to create a video to tell people how important it is to eat fruit and vegetables every day. We hope you like it!

Social Science activities (air and weather)

In Social Science, after learning about air pollution, we investigated at home using a plastic plate and some petroleum jelly, to catch all the pollution in the air around us. This is what we found in our plates after some days:

 

We also talked about the weather and presented the weather forecast.

Also in Fahrenheit degrees! 

We are learning how to make mind maps, and we wrote all the words and ideas related to the four seasons (weather, clothes, activities...).
