Hello everyone:

Happy 2021!

         I hope you had a good holiday, that your families are well and that you have the energy to start again. The activities that I propose for today do not need to be sent by mail because I trust that we will return to class on Wednesday 🤞🏻and I prefer to check them in class. However, if the telematic classes are prolonged due to the meteorological circumstances, I will ask you to send them to me. So be careful with the writing in case you have to send me a photo. I will communicate it to you through the blog.

THE ENGLISH AND NATURAL ASSIGNMENTS PUBLISHED FOR TODAY ARE FOR 6A, 6B AND 6C. 

Well guys, today we start working:

- English: Vocabulary about shopping.

- Natural: A short video to remember about simple and compound machines and we start with nutrition and the digestive system. 

- Valores: Sólo para alumnos de Valores. Redacción sobre vuestras vacaciones de Navidad. Éstas Navidades, en mi opinión, han sido diferentes porque ha habido personas que no han hecho lo que habitualmente hacían en años anteriores debido a: Los grupos reducidos de comensales en las celebraciones familiares, salidas de casa limitadas, suspensión de viajes a lugares fuera de Madrid, la eterna mascarilla sobre la boca, una cabalgata de Reyes sin desfile en la ciudad o en los barrios, etc. ¿Habéis vivido las fiestas así? ¿habéis echado algo en falta? ¿han sido unas vacaciones normales para vosotros?

Pensad como habéis vivido éstas fechas o como os habéis sentido y porqué, para escribir un texto de 25 líneas o más. Podéis incluir un dibujo. Ésta redacción será recogida el lunes día 18 de enero de 2021.

❄️Have a nice day and keep enjoying the snow if you can!❄️

ENGLISH

IMPORTANT: Use a dictionary to do these activities well.

They appear on your Pupil’s Book page 30, Activity Book page 32 and Pupil’s Book page 32.

NATURAL

In Natural I want you to remember the difference between a simple and a compound machine:

-Simple machine: It’s a device formed by one or very few parts. Simple machines are the inclined plane (Plano inclinado), the lever (palanca) the wheel and axle (la rueda y el eje) and the pulley (la polea) There are two more but we won’t see them in year 6. They are the wedge (cuña) and the screw (tornillo o espiral)

- Compound machine: It’s a machine formed by several simple machines in the same device. Bikes, a trolley, a lift or elevator are examples of compound machines.

Now you will see two videos. The first you have already seen it in class and the second it’s quite helpful to distinguish different simple machines used to conform a compound machine.

Now let’s start unit 1 about Nutrition doing the wordlist with the English dictionary . 

Copy the words in English and write the meaning in Spanish next to.

Finish reading pages 8 and 9 in your Natural Science book. I attach a photo just in case you don’t have the book.

The following activity and links will help you to practice the grammar worked in unit 2. 

The next activity is about defining sentences: 

REMEMBER: You can skip sentences with “whom” for example sentences 15 and 16. I won’t ask anything about that relative pronoun.

You can also practice defining and non defining sentences clicking on the following link. They are selfcorrecting activities where you can check how good you are at them 😉

Next you have an activity to practice on your notebook or a piece of paper “less, the least, fewer and the fewest”. USE THE COPY YOU HAVE IN YOUR NOTEBOOK OR PUPIL’s BOOK PAGE 121  TO DO IT.

- After reading the notes, close the notebook and try to remember the most important facts occured under each reign.

- With the notebook open, see the different kings in the timeline and read the notes about them.
