Reflecting...

Something too simple for us, something too incredible for others

This is the video we watched this morning. What about sharing it with your families? It could be a great opportunity to watch something together and to talk about the feeelings that you can see and maybe experience by watching this video. 
At the same time, you can also reflect upon the importance water has or should have in our lives.

Come on! Feel free to post any comments you may want to add below!

Choose a city wonder

Let's change the real list!

So... have you decided yet? Which city would you remove from the list of seven cities wonders? And which one would you choose instead?

I would remove La Paz, in Bolivia and I would choose London, in England, because it is a city that has survived lots of invasions in history. It is a city in which the old and the modern coexist in harmony. It combines magnificient old architect and postmodern buildings. London has high buildings but also very cossy, detatched or semi-detached houses. People in London are extremely kind and gentle. In London, education is available for everybody and health services are of high quality. 
I definitely believe London must be one of the seven cities wonders.

Now it's your turn. Leave your comment below!

The lyrics

Make the World a better place

Here are the song lyrics. Start studying them for Friday!

We’re all people

Some are taller some are shorter than you

Some are blond, some are bald

And some come from different countries too

Some are unlucky

They can’t walk or they can’t see what you do

So what I tell you

Are some simple words anyone can do

Think about 'em

Care about 'em

Go and help 'em

Make the world a better place for 'em (x2)

Make the world a better place for ‘em

Go and make, their world the best now

Make the world a better place for ‘em

It’s not hard, just go and help ‘em

Make the world a better place for ‘em

You and I, we’ll make their world better

Make the world a better place

Make the world a better place

Make the world a better place

I’ll tell you hoooooooow 

Thinking about ‘em

Caring about ‘em

Going and helping

Make the world a better plaaaaaace

Chorus (x 4)

Make the world a better place!

New project

Festival fever!

Today we started working on our new project: Festivals. I'm sure we'll have plenty of fun together, working on this topic. Can you imagine which our final project will be?

Miss Luchi.

Some pie graphs for our project

Great analysts!

Thank you for being so eager to participate at the moment of interpreting the graphs. I'm sure you'll do it very well at the Feria.

Miss Luchi.

Reflecting...

What have we learned from working with architectural barriers?

I would like each of you to reflect upon the topic chosen for some time. It was not a topic chosen at random. The idea of working with this topic, as I told you, is to leave an imprint on you; a life-long imprint. Could you please answer the following questions? I bet you must have a strong opinion about the topic by now.

1- How does the topic "architectural barriers" make you feel?

2- Did you think of architectural barriers in the past?

3- What is, in your opinion, the best thing about working on the topic of architectural barriers, if you really find it useful?

Write the answers to these questions in a paragraph below, as a comment. I can't wait to read your opinions!

Miss Luchi.

Making graphs for our observations

A Google form - Nice graphs for our posters

Hi kids! Tomorrow we'll be working on this Google form in class. We'll complete it so as to see the responses in pie graphs. Then, we'll print those graphs and we'll make nice posters with them to hang on the walls of our classroom during the Feria Multitemática. 

Please, do not complete the form if we are not in class. Wait for the instructions on how to do it. We'll read and complete the form together. 

Miss Luchi.

Leaflets!

Designing the leaflets

Yesterday we used Ipads to prepare the leaflets we'll give out in the Feria Multitemática. Next week, we'll choose the leaflet we'll print. Which one will be chosen?

Miss Luchi.

Best friends

Working with our own gadgets

Today we worked with technology. We completed a Google form and we analysed the results. We also started completing a Google speadsheet. Tomorrow we are going to check who wrote next to each number and most importantly, whose best friend is described in each cell.

Miss Luchi.

Commitment

Tidying up our classroom and our things

Today we had a hard-working morning, tidying up our classroom, changing the decoration and throwing away or selecting materials. It was a very productive day and everybody at school knew that you had managed to tidy up your classroom. Remember to try to keep it in such an order, as it is an essential factor that contributes to learning.

We decided to make of the classroom a better place:

And this was the result:

Of course Miss Mariana came to our classroom...

And then, the moment to put your own stuff in order and to sign the commitments came...

Ket's keep on working together to take care of our "new" classroom!

Miss Luchi.

Computers in our class!

Working with our own stuff

Today we worked together, sharing documents and forms on Google Drive. You managed to work very well with your own computers. However, there are still some things we need to polish and to learn before going using them. 

Good work on the whole!

Miss Luchi.

Project

Our last project for the unit

Last week you showed, once more, that you can make great things happen. You worked quite well preparing the final project:



And you managed to suggest super activities that we can all do instead of spending time in our bedrooms. Good job 6th form! Let's work this well for the Feria!

Miss Luchi.
