THIS SEMESTER WE HAVE DONE A LOT!

The class of 2nd grade, have prepared presentations at home by themselves about the solar system, maps, seasons...

We have also made a beautiful mural with healthy food and dishes we can try.

Every semester our students develop a concept they have learned about in Science

 

 

We found out how many bones we have on our skeleton, the different parts...


We also worked in teams to make our own book about animals and other things...

 

 

We learned so much in Music and Arts and hope forwards to another semester of learning and fun!

😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

This week in Second Grade

In English, the student have just begun a unit on the four seasons and different activities they can do during them.  Here´s a link to understand what happens during each season:

In Natural Science, they have been learning about the human skeleton.

And here are some pictures from 2C

This Week in Second Grade...





In Natural Science we´ve been learning about arthropods and molluscs.  Here´s a cute video featuring some of our favourites.  Which one is your favourite?

In English we´re learning about different types of food.  Here´s a worksheet for practicing "a" and "an."  Can you find your favourite foods here?

In Music we are learning how to read notes and how to take care of our voices by using breathing and vocal exercises.  You can practice at home with this video.

Water Cycle Experiment

We can make our own water cycle with the following materials:

• Large container
• Plastic wrap
• Soil
• Sand
• Small rocks
• Small container of water

 Now, follow the next steps:

1. Fill the large container with a layer of small rocks, a layer of sand and a layer of soil. 

      2.  Fill the small container with water. Place it on top of the soil.

    
      3. Cover the large container with the plastic wrap.

Now you have to observe carefully:

a) What happened to the water in the small container?
b) What's the name of this change of state?
c) Can you predict if it will rain?
d) Why is this similar to the water cycle?

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2015!!

Hello everybody,

We are getting to the end of the first trimester at the school, and from the Bilingual department we would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2015!

Let us give you some advice to be followed during this Christmas time:

- Remember that a family Christmas dinner is not a formal competition against your mother-in-law of how many ``mazapán´´ you can eat. Enjoy the dinner but, above all, enjoy the company of your loved ones.

- Remember to pour some milk with cookies under the Christmas tree. You never know who could come to your house that day...

- Remember caroling through the streets and do something for the poorest. 

- Finally, remember to practise your English. Read a book or watch the TV in English. This will help you to start the second trimester in a better way.

If you follow our advices, you will definitely have a white and wonderful Christmas!
See you again next year!

¡Hola a todos y todas!

Estamos llegando al final de este primer trimestre en el cole, y desde el departamento de bilingüismo ¡nos gustaría desearos una feliz navidad y un próspero año nuevo 2015!

Dejadnos daros algunos consejos importantes a seguir estas navidades. 

- Recuerda que una cena navideña en familia no es una competición contra tu suegra sobre ``cuanto mazapán eres capaz de comer´´. Disfruta la cena pero, por encima de todo, disfruta la compañía de los más queridos.

- Recuerda poner leche con galletas debajo del árbol de Navidad. Nunca sabes quien podría venir a tu casa ese día...

- Recuerda cantar villancicos por las calles y hacer algo por los más desfavorecidos.

- Finalmente, recuerda practicas tu inglés. Lee un libro o mira la televisión en inglés. Ésto te ayudará a comenzar el segundo trimestre con más fuerza. 

Sigue nuestros consejos para que tengas una Navidad absolutamente blanca y maravillosa.

¡Nos vemos de vuelta el próximo año!
