Happy New Year 2013

Just to wish my students in CEIP La Encina a Happy New Year!

Volcanoes

Here is a photo of the volcano we used in class to do an experiment. It's made of flour, water and salt and has a plastic bottle incorporated so that you can add liquids. We put some coloured water in the bottle, then added a few drops of washing up liquid and two tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda. Finally we added some vinegar. It really started to fizz and then erupted just like a real volcano! Why don't you try making one?

The Hound of the Baskervilles

This is a video of the story we're reading in my 5th year classes. In the holidays if you get bored you can watch it so that you understand the plot before we come back to school in January.

Present Perfect Tense

Here is a presentation for my 5th year students who had an exam on Monday about the Present Perfect tense. If you think you need more practice, or didn't understand everything, then watch this presentation.

Photosynthesis Trees

Look at this forest of Photosynthesis Trees my 5th years made! They are made with A4 card and the children drew pictures of the process of photosynthesis and wrote definitions on them. It's a fun way of helping them revise for their Science exam. Hope you like them!

Here you have a template to make the tree which you might want to enlarge for A4 size. You need two and you slot them together after decorating them with drawings and text to explain photosynthesis. You cut one from the top of the centre line downwards to the lower big dot in the centre of the tree, and then the other from the bottom of the centre line upwards to the higher big dot.

Foldables for Science

My 5th years classes did some foldables for the topic 'Living Things' in Science. Here are some photos of the best ones!
