Información del viaje fin de curso

Este jueves a las 14h, como sabéis, hay una reunión en la clase de 6ºA  para que nos expliquen más sobre el viaje fin de curso.

Aparte de eso, ya hay que pagar lo que queda de la actividad. Serán  205€ a la misma cuenta que antes. Aparte hay que pagar el autobús, pero eso se paga al colegio, no a la empresa del viaje, y os informaremos más adelante del importe exacto.

Aprovecho para comentar además que nos vienen a sacar la foto de la orla el día 30 de mayo. 

Machines!

Vamos a ver rápidamente las máquinas. A nosotros no nos entró este tema en el currículo de 5º ni de 6º (con la nueva ley entra en 4º) pero podría haber alguna pregunta sobre ello en la Reválida. Por eso aquí os dejo unas enlaces sobre máquinas en español.

 Los elementos mecánicas

Partes de una máquina

La palanca

Máquinas y mecanismos

Tipos de máquinas

Las máquinas y sus operadores; la bicicleta

Natural Science books!

We are going to be reviewing for the Reválida. If you have your Natural Science books from last year, please bring them to class. If you have any other Natural Science/Conocimiento del Medio books (even in Spanish), you can also bring them.

What to do on exam day

Here is the PowerPoint we saw in class.  Good luck, everyone!

Tips for Exam Day: PET/KET Reading and writing exam from Kathleen Marcy

Art for this week

For Art this week (6ºB) and next week (6ºA) you will need to bring a photo. We have been working on symmetry, and we are going to do symmetry portraits.





The photo should be of you and should show your face in a fairly large size. You can print one on regular paper or use a photocopy, or bring a regular photo ( we will need to cut it in half.)  

Make sure it is not too small!  

Your last practice test

I am going to give you one last practice exam (Reading and Writing) to do before we have the PET/KET Reading and Writing parts on Tuesday.

6ºA will start it in class on Thursday, and 6ºB will start it on Friday after the Speaking exams.  Please finish it at home. We will check it on Monday. 

Our graduation!

Our graduation ceremony will be on Wednesday, 21st of June, at 11:15. Parents and family are invited!

Banksy paints Brexit!

Who is Banksy?

He is a British street artist whose works appear in different locations around the world. His identity is a secret, so he must work quickly to avoid being discovered.

He uses stencils (plantillas) to create his art, which often has a message.  Here are a few of his most famous works:









On Monday, 8th of May, this Banksy mural appeared in Dover, near the ferry that connects the UK with France:



It shows a worker removing one of the stars from the EU flag, now that the United Kingdom has voted to leave the European Union.

If you want to see more artwork by Banksy, here is his official website.

No English Test

There has been a change of plans. You will not have an English test on Monday.

Instead, we will be doing a practice PET/KET exam.   

6ºA will do the Listening part  tomorrow at first hour (the Social Science test will start second hour)  and the Reading and Writing on this Friday, 12th May. We will need to start it immediately so please come in to class quickly and be in your seats ready to start.


6ºB will do the Listening on Friday at 5th hour and the Reading and Writing part on Monday, 15th May.

You will not have any spiral homework for next week, but don't forget to work on the First Aid project.

First Aid Project

You must explain what ítems we should have in a basic first aid kit. You should say what each item is used for. You must include at least ten items.

First Aid

What is First Aid?

First Aid is the help we give to someone who is hurt, while we wait for emergency services or professional help (if necessary.)  Anyone can do it!  You just need to learn a few simple steps.

It's a good idea to have a First Aid kit at home-- you can make one yourself!

What would you put in your First Aid kit?

Here are some ideas:

Do you know what to do in emergency situations?

The Euro!

Our currency in the European Union is called the euro. 

One side of the coin is the same for all countries, but the other side is different for each.

Have you seen coins from other countries? Can you identify which country these coins are from?

If you have a euro coin from another country, bring it to class. I will take a picture of it and we can make a virtual collection!

This website will help you discover which country your coin is from!

Since I know some of you are going away for the break, I will accept the completed homework (for a grade) on either Wednesday 3rd May, Thursday 4th May, or Friday 5th May (but don't forget that you have your Natural Science test on Friday!)

A great website for writing practice!
