Weekly links, 6th grade - ,"Nutrition" (Circulatory system and excretory system), "Rivers, Physical relief and coasts of Europe"

First, you can watch here the video with the song that we are going to sing at Christmas. The song is "Happy Christmas", by John Lennon:

English:

In the English class, apart from doing the test of unit 2, we have started the second unit, entitled: "Ancient Egypt". 

As an introductory funny activity related to the topic, we have watched the next video:

Natural Science:

This week we have studied the circulatory and the excretory systems. We have watched only the videos "How Your Heart Works" and "How the Urinary System Works", but you can also watch two other interesting videos:

How Your Heart Works (6:14)

Remember that in the next links, you can practice the European Geography with several interactive maps, but you have here more information than in our books. You don't need to learn what is not in our books, although this can be a useful tool in your study process.

European rivers:

See you on Monday! 

Weekly links, 6th grade - ,"Nutrition" (Respiratory System), "European rivers"

This weekend, the most important thing is to review the unit 2 of English: “Future transport”, for the test we will do next Monday, 21st. As I have told you these days, apart from the highlighted vocabulary on the first pages of the unit, you have to focus your attention in the next gramatical structures:

• Need to / don’t need to
• Needs to / doesn’t need to and
• Will / won’t (in this case, to talk about the future). Remember that you can review this grammar on page 120 of the Students' book.

Apart from this, if you have a little extra time, here you have some interesting links of Natural and Social Sciences:

Next, you have two more interesting links to practice with European rivers along the week:

Have a good weekend! 

Weekly links, 6th grade - ,"Nutrition" (Digestive System), "Europe"

Along this week we have done the tests of unit 1 in Natural Science and Social Science. At the same time we have started unit 2, about "Nutrition" and "Europe", in each of the matters. Here you have the first links seen or commented in class:

Natural Science:

How the Digestive System Works (5:08):

Social Science:

Obviously, European geography is going to be a little more difficult that the Spanish one; so, I recommed you to start to practice and play with this applications from the very beginning. Of course, you have to check the book and to study from time to time, but this is a complementary and funnier way to learn geography.

European countries (English):

http://online.seterra.com/en/vgp/3007

European capitals (English):

European cities (English):

http://online.seterra.com/en/vgp/3073

European flags (English):

http://online.seterra.com/en/fl/2010

The next links lead to pages written in Spanish, but it is a good thing to start with them if you feel more comfortable, but only at the beggining, because you have to learn the countries and capitals in English.

European countries (Spanish):

Weekly links, 6th grade - "Nervous system", "Spain"

In this short week, we have finished the unit 1 in "Social Science" and "Natural Science", and next week we will do the test in each of these two subjects. So, because it is supposed that we are not going to have a good weather during the weekend, you will have a good opportunity to study and review these units :-)

Although we haven't watched any more videos this week, in order to facilitate your study process, I put here the most useful links, together, to review for the next tests:
