Hi! How are you doing?
I hope that you are well. You can contact with me through my email sextoinglesesperanza@gmail.com
You can ask me questions, tell me if you have problems...

In English we are going to work one single verb tense in grammar that forms part of this unit you have recently started. It is the present perfect continuous or presente perfecto continuo.
In Natural Science let’s review the respiratory system through some questions and we will start the circulatory system.
Don’t forget studying Social Science! You have a test on Tuesday, 21st. 

ENGLISH

If you remember in unit 5 you worked about the present perfect or presente perfecto. In unit 6 we give one step more from this last tense and we are going to learn the present perfect continuous.
What’s the difference between them?

- The structure:

- The use:

                                                                                             

                                  Tom has mended his bike one day ago.

Watch these two videos about the present perfect continuous. I wish you find them useful to understand it better:

Now get your PB or Pupil’s Book and go to page 125. Read UNIT 6 Present perfect continuous.

Finally you will practice about this verb tense using this interactive activity where you can check your own answers. Remember that it is formed this way:
                                       Have/has + been+ ing verb
Example:
My dad has been working on the computer the whole morning. Mi padre ha estado trabajando con el presentador toda la mañana.
I have been studying English since I was a child. He estado estudiando Inglés desde que era niño.

Good morning! 
How are you kids? I wish you are fine and that you had good Easter holidays. I wonder if you ate some torrijas and Easter eggs 🤔. Yummy... 

But the most important thing is if these holidays were useful to start strong this new term.

Today we will practice vocabulary and some grammar in English: The modal verbs (must, may, could, might)
In Natural Science let’s review the respiratory system and in Social Science the rivers and mountains of Europe.

The activities are only sent when I specify it through the blog. For example, you don't have to send anything today.
Las actividades se envían solamente cuando lo especifique a través del blog. Por ejemplo, hoy no tenéis que enviar nada.

Hello!
Today in English you will start checking the ten sentences you did yesterday. Secondly you will learn about the Past perfect or Pasado perfecto: How is it used, its structure, time expressions and one activity to practice.

In Social Science we will see the European climates with the help of your book.
I have joined units 4 and 5 to make the European relief, hydrography and climatology simpler. The idea is that you just have to know about the most important mountains, rivers and climates in our continent. I am just interested in that you place well all those elements in a map and basic notions about climates.

ENVIADME LAS ACTIVIDADES  DE SOCIALES DE HOY ENTRE HOY Y MAÑANA VIERNES DÍA 3 DE MARZO A:
                             sextoinglesesperanza@gmail.com
LAS DE INGLÉS NO. 

Por favor, si tenéis alguna incidencia no os agobiéis. En ése mismo correo me lo podéis comunicar.

ENGLISH
1) Selfcorrection: “Past simple or Present perfect” worksheet. The one from yesterday.
1  won
2 haven’t  seen
3 have built
4 revised
5 decided
6 haven’t finished
7 elected
8 built
9 hasn’t rained
10 always wanted/ has sent

2) Grammar: Past perfect (pasado perfecto):
-Usage:

See this chart to compare this new verb tense with the past simple one which it is more familiar to you:

Translation:                                                                                                          
  Anoche vi la televisión.                              
    Henry pintó la valla todo el día de ayer.      
    Yo había cenado antes de que ellos vinieran.
     Tilley había visto esa película antes de que estuviera en la tele.
                                               

If you notice, in the past perfect tense (en el pasado perfecto) the action occurs before another action in the past.
Example: I had eaten dinner before they came.
                          ↑
          This action occurred first!
               I had left my grandma’s house when she came.
          (Había dejado la casa de mi abuela cuando ella llegó o Ya me había ido de la la casa de mi abuela cuando ella llegó)

- Structure:

- Time expressions:

- Some examples to help you:

👉Richard había salido cuando su mujer llegó a la oficina.

👉Christine nunca había estado en la ópera antes de anoche.

👉 Había estado en Londres dos veces cuando conseguí un trabajo en Nueva York.

3) Activity:  Now it’s time to practice! Answers tomorrow! 😉

Complete these sentences on your notebook. See that the ones on the left are in the well known past simple while the ones on the right are in past perfect. Translating the sentences in your mind will help you understand them better. 

SOCIAL SCIENCE
- Wordlist page 73: You just have to look up the words about the European climate. Forget the ones about European rivers.
- Read pages 68 and 69 on your book.
- Watch this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYjsRjat5vQ
- Complete on your notebook the following activities: Page 72, 5. Page 73, 6, 7 and 9.

Good morning dear kids! We are already in April. Can you believe it? Time goes by so fast...
Today let’s practice with grammar and continue with the respiratory system in Natural. Yesterday there was a problem with the crossword answers so I’ll pass you the answers again. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Activity book page 55:
Across:
2 level
3 project
4 instructions
5 mark
6 essay

ENGLISH
If you remember in this unit we have worked the following verb tenses: Past simple (pasado simple), present perfect (presente perfecto) and Past perfect (pasado perfecto)
I want to finish working with them between today and tomorrow. So we will practice with past simple and present perfect today and tomorrow with the past perfect tense.

PAST SIMPLE VS PRESENT PERFECT 
- Here there are two summaries with the main differences between both verb tenses:

- Time for an interactive activity! Sort out first different time expressions with the corresponding verb tense.
Secondly decide what sentences are written in past simple (because the action finished in a specific period of time) or in present perfect (you don’t know when the action exactly finished)
The third part consists in placing the verbs in the right column.

Monday, 30th March 2020

Buenos días queridos niños de 6ºA y 6ºB. Feliz comienzo de semana para todos. Ayer hizo un día precioso y confieso que tuve la tentación de salir y darme una vuelta. Pero no lo hice. Me echó para atrás el riesgo que ello implicaría y el mal ejemplo que daría a otras personas.

Así que me quedé deleitando los rayos de sol desde mi ventana. Contando los días en que calculo a ciegas el fin del confinamiento... Y entonces me pregunté -¿Contando los días? Hoy es hoy y aunque esté en casa no puedo pasar el día dejando el tiempo pasar.-

Y vosotros ¿que hacéis? ¿Contáis los días o hacéis que cuenten los días? 🤔 Pues haréis como yo. A ratos los contaréis y otros no, ¿verdad? Los niños nos sorprendéis a los mayores muchas veces. La mamá de una amiga mía me contó que su hija dice que es feliz porque tiene todo el tiempo del mundo para hacer lo que le gusta. Deseo que a vosotros os pase lo mismo.

                                                BESOS Y ABRAZOS

VALORES 6ºA
Incluimos un capítulo más a nuestro diario de éste confinamiento por cuarentena. Recordad que es escribir un breve resumen de la semana anterior. Cuando volvamos compartiremos nuestros diarios para aprender de las vivencias de unos y de otros. ¡Yo estoy escribiendo el mío!
                                           

ENGLISH

Let’s remember and practice some words related with school. You will also do a Pet activity from your Activity Book that will be useful for everyone.

- Look up these words in the dictionary and write the meaning on your notebook: certificate, course, essay, information, instructions, level, mark, project, term and test.
- Pupil’s Book: Page 55, activity 3. You don’t need to listen anything to do it.
- Activity Book: Page 55, 1 and 2. Page 56, 1.

I’ll give you the answers tomorrow! 😉

NATURAL SCIENCE

If you remember we started the second part of human nutrition last Thursday. You looked up the wordlist words in your dictionary and you read the introduction reading in unit 2.
Let’s continue today watching a video about the respiratory system:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyqt7ekkP2E

Now read pages 22 and 23 in your Natural Science book and do activities:
Page 22 from 1 to 5
