Weekly links, 6th grade - "London", "Matter" and "Modern Spain: the 20th century" 1

Good afternoon!

This week has been a little shorter. So, I'm writing the weekly post this Thursday, one day before than usual.

English

We started working again with the story "The Great Fire", and we have also talked about some of the most important and famous places in London, such as, Tower Bridge, the London Eye, Madame Tussauds, the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Covent Garden or the British Museum.

Besides, on Tuesday 14th, Emily developed an interesting and funny lesson about Valentine's Day.

We have watched this brief video about the Great Fire of London in 1666:

Natural Science

In Natural Science, we have started unit 4, about "Matter". First, we have talked about the difference between physical and chemical changes; then we have seen the first lesson about the basic laws of reflection and, also, an introduction of "electricity".

We have seen some videos related to these topics, but I can only put here some of them because the others are from the webpage "Elesapiens", and we can only watch them in the class, with my password. Nevertheless, you have here two of the videos from youtube (we have only watched the second one):

What's matter?

Specular and Diffuse Reflection of Light

Social Science

On Wednesday, we did the test of unit 3, about the 19th century in Spain, and you have had the results today. You know, although they have been good, in general, you can and must study more, but over all, you have to pay more attention in the class if you want to reach better results.

We have also started (by the moment only in group B) the new unit, about the 20th century in Spain. I have introduced the unit, mainly in Spanish, sumarising the century and highlighting some of the most important events, such as our exemplary transition to democracy, the military coup attempt on February, 23rd of 1981, and even some historical sport moments, such as the unforgettable fottball match Spain-Malta in 1993.

You have here again the two videos that we have watched:

Have a good long weekend!
