Work and jobs

In Social Science we are learning about the Primary, Secondary and Tertiary sectors, and the different jobs related to them.

Country report

In Social Science we have been talking about globes, Google maps and physical and political maps.
Now it's your turn to look for information about a country and write a report. Use the Internet, maps or books you have at home and find this information.

Continents and oceans

We are learning a lot about continents, oceans and seas. Take a look at this video.

 

(Turn the subtitles on so you can read as you listen!)

Landscape

In Social Science we are learning about different landforms in internal and coastal landscapes. Here are some of the natural features we mentioned in class.

In Arts and Crafts we created our own landforms with plasticine. We had so much fun!

Uses of water

Today in Social Science we have been talking about the different uses of water in our lives. We wrote down all our ideas and made a mind map like this using Popplet.

We also watched this short video:

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!!

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...).

The water cycle

In Social Science we are learning about the water cycle and we love these two songs!

Bodies of water

In Social Science we are learning about the different bodies of water. You can learn more about some of them with this video.

 

Solar System project

We have spent a few days preparing some projects in Social Science class.

These are some of the students who worked on different projects related to the phases of the Moon, the movements of the Earth, the cardinal points and the Solar System. Good job, guys!

Weather

In Social Science we are reviewing the vocabulary related to the weather.

Listen to the weather forecast in different countries and find the correct picture, in this game (Click HERE).

You can find more games to play HERE and HERE.

Air pollution

In Social Science we are learning about air pollution, its causes and how to reduce it.



We are also learning that it is important to REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE.

The Earth movements

In Social Science we are learning about the Earth movements: rotation and revolution. Watch these videos to review what we have learnt.

The Solar System

In Social Science we are working on different projects about the Universe. The first one is about the Solar System. Here is an image to review what we are learning.

You can also play a memory game HERE.

And it is always easier to remember things with songs, right?
