Yesterday...I cookED, I washED and I helpED!

When we want to refer to the past we need to modify the verb by adding -ED at the end!

Verbs

• My mum runs a lot. 
• He cooks soup every Monday.
• My friends don't like karate.
• His sister doesn't go to the trip.

I hope that you enjoy this project work!

Bones and muscles

Hi dear students,

In Science we have started to learn about our body, specially we are working with our bones and muscles.

Here you have a video to watch at home. Next day I will ask some questions to you!

As the video is a bit long, I summarize the most important ideas:

• Bones are hard and they are made of calcium.
• All bones are connected by joints to form the skeleton.
• The femur is the largest bone.
• Muscles are soft and they expand and contract moving our body.
• The smallest muscle is inside our ear.
• Your bones and muscles will grow in good condition if you: eat heatlhy, do exercise and maintain a correct posture.

Adjectives

Adjectives are the words that we use to describe a noun.
They always go before the noun. For instance:
-A small house
-A purple pencil
-A tall girl

Listen to these Adjective Songs:

Malala

  In Social and Civic Values we are working on the biography of Malala:

Who is Malala? She is a school girl who became well-known around the world at a very young age. In fact, she has won the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 17.

Where was she born? She was born in Pakistan in 1997.

Why is she a significant person? She is known for her education and women's rights activism where the Taliban had at times banned girls from attending school.

Watch this video to know more about Malala:

NOUNS

Nouns are words than name people, places, things or ideas.

We distinguish between common nouns and proper nouns.

A Proper noun makes reference to particular place, person or object and they are always written with Capital Letter.

We write with Capital Letter:

1. Names of persons/animals: Sarah, Floopy
2. Cities and Countries: Alicante, Spain
3. Days of the week and months of the year: Tuesday, November
4. Languages and nationalities: English, Japanese
5. Names of streets: Av. Paises Escandinavos.

There are others but for the moment work with these ones.

Enjoy these videos:

That's a noun. Song
