WEDNESDAY, 22nd APRIL 2020

Good morning Kids,
As soon as I can I will give your Social Science marks.
 Today is the Earth Day and this year is specially dedicated to bees 🐝 because they’re important in our planet and in our lives.

Today In English I want to do a big review of grammar because you will do an English exam soon: Tuesday, 28 th of April. 
We will also work some Natural Science. I prepared a summary to review about the heart parts and its movements and you will also read about how blood circulates in our circulatory system.

ENGLISH

1) Time to review the irregular verbs past tense with this well known game for you. Just one thing: When you will see “present participle” it refers to an “-ing verb”. Example: playing, running. Ok?
Play during10 minutes.

Now you will start practicing grammar. 💡Suggestion: Copy on your notebook the wrong sentences after you checked them on the computer and translate them in Spanish. It will help you to understand them better and see the mistake.

2) Past simple Practice:

NATURAL SCIENCE

1) THE HEART REVIEW

Watch this video again about the heart:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn_GQcfS9-Q

-What is the heart?

Our ❤️is a very strong muscle that pushes blood all around our body. Its movements allow blood to achieve different areas in our body to provide them with oxygen and nutrients (minerals, vitamins from food) Once these substances are given to our cells and organs, the red blood cells get waste substances from them to keep them clean. And once more, blood comes back to the heart again to be pushed to the lungs and to expell the waste substances and get more oxygen.

-Structure
If you remember, our ❤️ is formed by four parts or chambers (cámaras):
- Two atrium (aurículas): The right one and left one. They are on the top.
- Two ventricles (ventrículos): The right one and left one. They are at the bottom of the heart.

Both sides of the heart, the right and the left one, are separated by a cell wall called “septum”. The septum avoids blood rich in oxygen and blood rich in waste substances be mixed. In this way blood 🩸 rich in oxygen is not contaminated and it gets clean and safe to our cells and organs.

- The heartbeat 💓 
The ❤️ pushes blood all around our body through two different movements:

- One expands our heart and allows the entrance of blood rich in oxygen or waste substances as carbon dioxide in the atriums placed on the top. This is the DIASTOLE MOVEMENT.
Then blood passes to the two ventricles through the valves (remember: the valves work as a door)
- The other movement consists in the contraction of the heart to push blood 🩸 to the lungs or to the rest of the body. This is the SYSTOLE MOVEMENT. 
Here blood that is in the right ventricle is pushed to our lungs through the pulmonary artery and blood in the left ventricle is pushed to our body cells and organs through the aorta artery.
In this video you will see how the ❤️moves in detail:

2) Time to do some activities!
- Read page 27: The circulatory system.
- Page 27, activities 4, 5 and 6.
                                                 AND THAT’S ALL KIDS!

TUESDAY, 21st APRIL 2020

Good morning kids! 
Ready, steady, GO! 💪🏻

PARA EL EXAMEN DE SOCIALES TENÉIS TODO EL DÍA PARA HACERLO. HE ABIERTO COMENTARIOS ABAJO POR SI HAY ALGÚN PROBLEMA.

ENGLISH
Yesterday I promised some past perfect tense for today 😬
So let’s remember how to use it and its structure.
- USE:

The past perfect is used to talk about an event that was completed in the past before something else happened.
El pasado perfecto se usa para referirse a una acción que ocurrió en el pasado antes de que ocurriera otra acción (también en el pasado)
Example:
 I had just finished cooking the meal when my guests arrived. (Acaba de terminar la cena cuando mis invitados llegaron)

I didn't want to watch the film, as I had already seen it...(No quería ver la película, como ya la había visto...)

As you see in past perfect sentences there are two verbs that occurred in the past: One written in past perfect (have/has+past participle) and another one in past simple. 

- STRUCTURE:

To answer these type of questions can be used short answers as it follows:

Next you have some examples I hope you find useful to understand the past perfect:

Fine, ready to check your learning?

Try these interactive exercises where you can check your own answers at the end.
I suggest you to give a second look now to the charts above ⬆️ and to use them while you are doing the activities.
You can also use your PB page 124, UNIT 5 Past perfect part to review if you wish.

MONDAY 20th APRIL 2020

Hi Year 6A and B!

Don’t forget you can write an email to tell me how are you if you wish. Puedes escribirlo en español 😅 Si necesitáis contarme como estáis, si tenéis dificultades en las tareas, si estáis hasta el gorro de ellas, como lleváis el confinamiento, si estáis tristes o superhappy sin venir al cole, si, si, si... Lo que sea. No es obligatorio. Sólo quiero que sepáis que estoy al otro lado de la pantalla y que si me necesitáis, aquí estoy. 

  Fine, let’s start our Monday 💪🏻

Next I want you help you remember when you can use both:

4) Use the read information to complete the following interactive activities.. Paying attention to time expressions in the sentences will give you the clue to use the appropriate verb tense. Don’t you remember them? See them above again and complete the activities.

THURSDAY, 16th APRIL 2020

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:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nKluwyYgok

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKzqRMA_1lo

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.
