Mixtures & Fruits

Hola bilinguals!

En una unidad tan complicada llamada ``matter and materials´´, los alumnos de tercero se divierten aprendiendo. ¿Cómo lo hacen? Jugando a ser unos ``MATER CHEFS´´.

Los profesores solo les hemos proporcionado los materiales correspondientes, unas cuantas indicaciones y... ¡Voilà! Una rica macedonia de frutas. Así da gusto aprender.

¡Bien hecho chic@s! :)





P.D: Gracias también a nuestros queridos auxiliares de conversación Misha y Mike por su gran ayuda. Thanks a lot!

PREHISTORY AND HISTORY

Hi Bilinguals!

Have you ever heard about Prezi? Prezi is an educative tool to create presentations about topics. Sometimes some of the units can be difficult to study for kids: history for example.

Prezi makes everything simple.

Have a look and study history from another perspective!

Have you ever wondered?

Hello bilinguals!

You know what? Nature has always been so gentle with humans... Nature offers us a wide range of resources we can employ then to make new materials.

It is our responsability to use those resources with intelligence and never make a bad use of them. Glass and paper are examples of the generosity of Mother Nature


Have you ever wondered how to make glass from sand?




Have you ever wondered how to make paper from trees?



THANK YOU MOTHER NATURE!!

Let's learn about invertebrates!


Hello Kids!!

Now that Easter is coming, we recommend you to rest and enjoy your holiday! However and pretending not to forget what we have already learned about invertebrates, we also suggest you to learn and sing the ``ICKY INSECTS SONG´´!


There you have the lyrics and you can use them to impress your family. Insects are cool!

ICKY INSECTS SONG
An insects body is made up of three parts
The head, the thorax and the abdomen
An exoskeleton that's nice and hard
Protects the insect because it wont break or bend

Icky, icky insects have six legs
Icky, icky insects hatch from eggs
Icky, icky insects all around
In the air, and sea and on the ground

Icky, icky insects have a shell that covers up their head
It helps protect them, keeps them safe and strong
One pair of purple shoes for each pair of legs
Six in all, it helps them move along

Icky, icky insects have six legs
Icky, icky insects hatch from eggs
Icky, icky insects all around
In the air, and sea and on the ground

Insects are called arthropods
With distinctly divided body parts
An exoskeleton that's nice and hard
Because insects play an important part of our world 

Icky, icky insects have six legs
Icky, icky insects hatch from eggs
Icky, icky insects all around
In the air, and sea and on the ground

 

HAPPY EASTER!

Compare and Contrast: Venn Diagram

Hola a todos,

a veces, para entender mejor un concepto, es necesario comparar y contrastar ideas. Para ello la estrategia de usar un diagrama de Venn es la mejor opción.

Esto es lo que hacemos en el Mater cada vez que dos conceptos tienen mucho parecido entre sí. En los cursos de tercero hemos hecho un compara y contrasta para distinguir mejor lo que son REPTILES y lo que son ANFIBIOS. Y todo eso en inglés, claro ;)

¡Enhorabuena chic@s!
