Good afternoon!
At last, we have done the Cambridge tests and I hope that everything had gone well. This is briefly what we have done along the week:
English
Apart from doing the tests for the KET and PET, we started the week practising with regular and irregular verbs. Furthermore, on Thursday and Friday, we have done a mock exam of the English parts for de CDI exams, that we will do next Wednesday, 31st of May. That day, you will start doing the Maths part.
Natural Science
As well as in English, we have also done another mock exam for the CDI tests, in this case, the part of Science and Technology. This will be the first part that you will do next Thursday, 1st of June. And, after that, you will do the Spanish Language part.
Social Science
Finally, in Social Science, we have only seen a lesson about what the Eurozone is, and we have completed the worksheet 6.1. Remember that if you haven't finished it, you must do it these days at home.
Have a good weekend!

Weekly summary, 6th grade - "This is Houston" and "Electricity and Magnetism" 6. "The European Union" 2
Good morning!
After San Isidro, we have completed another week, in which the preparation for the Cambridge tests has been our main goal. This is what we have done and what we will do next week.
English
We started doing the test of unit 7, "This is Houston". Then we did a mock exam for the PET and KET tests that we will do in the next days. Remember: Next Tuesday, 23rd, we will do the writing part, with the reading, writing and listening tasks, and the next day, Wednesday, 24th, we will do the oral part with the speaking.
Apart from that, we have worked with some worksheets to review how to manage with regular and irregular verbs, knowing when to use the past simple or the past participle forms. It is very important that you complete the exercises this weekend that we will correct next Monday. Finally, we have seen some of the tips and instructions you need to know for the exam days, and I have given to you some papers with this important information that you have to show to your parents.
Natural Science
In Natural Science, in group A, we have completed unit 5, "Electricity and Magnetism", and we have done the test of this unit. However, in group B, we will complete the unit in two weeks, after doing the external exams, both the Cambridge PET and KET and the CDI tests of the Community of Madrid. In this group, we have seen the lesson entitled "What's the Earth's magnetic field like".
Social Science
In this matter, we have talked about what the European Union and the Eurozone are. You have also need to complete the previous unfinished exercises.
Art & Crafts
To conclude, in the Art class, we have continued working with the reproduction of "Van Gogh's chair", using a grid. We will be only two more sessions with this work before starting the next exercise. This week, we have had problems with the computers and we haven't been able to see the picture on the screen. So you have it here again:
Enjoy your weekend!

Hello everyone!
Today we have celebrated "San Isidro" and we have started another long weekend. As always, you have time to enjoy and rest, but remember: we are finishing the school year and you should also study for the different important tests that we will do along the next weeks. You have here the summary of the week:
English
Apart from working in the preparation of the KET and PET tests, we have also finished the unit 7 "This is Houston". Next Tuesday, 16th, we will do the evaluation test of this unit in the two groups. Remember to study! Mainly, you should focus your attention on the vocabulary and grammar of the unit (don't forget to review page 125 on the Student's book). Of course, as I usually tell you, it is very important to highlight or underline the irregular verbs that we have used in class, in the list that I gave you or in the one you have on the last page of the workbook. But this is not decoration! :-) Those are the verbs that you have to study!
Natural Sciences
This week we have mainly worked in the preparation for the CDI test, and we have completed one real exam about this area. As I have explained you, we have done this activity in Spanish, because the part of "Science and Technology" of this test have to be done in our first language. In any case, in group A, we will do the test of unit 5 (Electricity and Magnetism), next Wednesday, 17th, and we will continue with this unit in group B.

Good morning everyone!
In this matters, due to the complicated schedule, this month we are going to work at a different pace in the two groups. In group A, we have learnt about the Earth's magnetic field, and about the effects of electricity. You have here a picture about Electrolysis and, at the bottom of these lines, you can watched again the videos that we have watched in the class.
This week has been very particular, because we have had two scholar trips, on Monday and Wednesday, and one special day on Friday, with the celebration of the Book's Day in our school. On Monday we were walking and learning in the old Madrid with Carmen García, the author of "Atrapados en las leyendas de Madrid". Two days later, on Wednesday, we went to the Air Museum in Cuatrovientos, and you had a wonderful opportunity to learn many things about the importance of the aviation and its origins, in Spain and around the world.
On the other hand, we have started yesterday another long weekend, and I hope you enjoy it. But, remember, we are also starting a very important month next Wednesday, with many things and some tests to do, apart from our usual classes. So, as I told you, you have time to rest and enjoy, but you should also study and review a little the main grammar and vocavulary of the last years, not only because it is good for you, but also thinking in the next external exams.
The dates for the Cambridge tests will be the next ones: On May 23th we will do the writing parts of levels A2 and B1 (PET and KET), including activities of Reading, Listening and Writing. The next day, on May 24Th we will do the Speaking part.
Apart from that, you know that we will also do the CDI tests of the Comunity of Madrid, on 31st of May and 1st of June. In these two days, you will be evaluated in the next four matters: Spanish language, Maths, Science and Technology (the tree of them in Spanish), and English language.
Thus, during the next weeks, we will focus our attention not only in our usual programme, but also in the preparation of these tests.
Besides, before summarizing the last week, I want to remind you that next Thursday 4th, we will have the term meeting with your parents. As always, it is very important that they do an effort to come to the meeting.

Good Morning!
Until this Saturday, I haven't been able to write this weekly post. Here you are.
English
This has been another short week before Easter, and we have maily worked with a new English lesson from the Oxford book of Reading and Writing, with unit 6, entitled: "Old and New". We have also finished the last listenings of the KET book, and we will start to work with more exercises for the KET test after Easter (you won't need to buy the book).
On Thursday, we have watched the film "The Avengers" in group B, and the first episode of the TV series "Arrow" in group A (because the distribution of the timetable, we haven't had enough time in this group to watch a whole film). In both cases, we have watched the videos with subtitles in English, and I insist on the importance of doing this at home by yourselves, from time to time, as a wonderful and comfortable way to learn English.
Natural Science and Social Science
In both matters, we only have presented the new units: "Electricity and magnetism" (still in the same book, module 2) and "Spain's politics" (in the third book, module 3, of Social Science). Not all of you have brought this book these days, but remember the importance of bringing it to follow the classes properly. It is compulsory!
Although the photos don't have a good quality, you can see here one example from each group of the murals about matter that we have finished:
Art & Crafts
In this subject, most of you have finish the last exercise with the compass, and we will change of activity after Easter.
Finally, I want to remember you your homework for these holydays:
