 (Active sentence in the past)

America was discovered in 1492 by Christopher Columbus.

We use passive sentences when we want to focus more on what the action is about than on the person doing the action.

First, we look for examples in the story:

This novel was written in 1972.

This pay was written in 1600 by William Shakespeare.

These poems were carved on beeswax

We look at the table in activity 2 and  answer question 1.

Today we are going to study the circulatory system. Before opening the books, we check what we already know from previous years about:

The Heart

Blood

Circulation

These are the three parts in which the chapter is divided.  We have a look at the pictures and then we listen and read.

We have a look at the model of the heart, and to the posters of the circulattory system dispalyed in the classroom.

We can also watch these videos

This first video connects respiratory system and pulmonary circuit.

We watched this animation last year when we were learning about the heart.

These are two simple videos for kids:

Here you can learn a little more about the heart and blood vessels:

We use the rest of the time to draw the pictures of a heart and its parts and the circulatory system using translucent paper.

We think and do orally activity 1 page to revise vocabulary about feelings. We need to admit that there is not such thing as negative feelings. We need all our feelings and emotions and it is OK to feel them in certain occasions.

We can say that there are emotions that make us feel good and others that prevent us from feeling good.

A fundamental difference between feelings and emotions is that feelings are experienced consciously, while emotions manifest either consciously or subconsciously.

We can use these posters to classify them if we don't get many ideas

Next, we listen and read Nancy's blog and we point to the pictures that show each feeling being described.

CHARLA COVID-19 para niños y familias. 

Semana de la Ciencia. programa Si!

El día 13 de noviembre los alumnos de sexto asistieron a una charla sobre COVID-19 organizada por la Fundación SHE (programa de Salud Integras SI), dentro del programa de la Semana de la Ciencia.

Fue una videoconferencia (webinar) a la que asistieron numerosos centros de toda España. Desde las dos aulas de 6ºA y 6ºB, nuestros alumnos pudieron conocer un poco más a fondo el mecanismo de actuación de este virus y las acciones preventivas que debemos adoptar para mitigar su efecto, combatiendo su propagación.

La charla resultó algo más técnica de lo que esperábamos, pero nuestros alumnos prestaron atención en todo momento. En un papel iban apuntando posibles preguntas para dirigir al ponente a través del foro que aparecía en la pantalla.

En los últimos minutos pudimos participar también en el juego de preguntas mediante Kahoot que se abrió al finalizar la charla. Lamentablemente coincidía con nuestra hora de salida de clase y no pudimos disfrutarlo como nos hubiese gustado.

La ciencia al servicio de la infancia

Los niños y niñas se adaptan a todo, es cierto. Sin embargo, en ocasiones las personas adultas olvidamos que están ahí, escuchando nuestras conversaciones, sintiendo nuestra preocupación por la incertidumbre y el estrés ante los cambios. Reciben información y datos, a veces a medias, a veces incongruentes... Somos conscientes de la enorme labor que la comunidad educativa está haciendo para que niños y niñas entiendan lo que está pasando, y que puedan expresar sus sentimientos y preocupaciones. Por este motivo compartimos con vosotros esta información en relación a la charla sobre Covid-19 que creemos puede ser una interesante actividad escolar y/o familiar.   Lo que se les dé a los niños, los niños darán a la sociedad. Karl Augustus Menninger

Esta charla online organizada dentro del marco de la Semana de la Ciencia 2020, por una de las instituciones más cercanas a la Fundación SHE, el Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC), tendrá lugar el viernes 13 de noviembre de 2020 a las 12:00 y tiene el objetivo de que niños y niñas (recomendado a partir de 8 años) puedan comprender todo lo que escuchan a su alrededor de la mano de un especialista. Para acceder a la charla es necesario que, bien el profesorado, bien los familiares*, se registren desde este link. Miguel Ángel del Pozo, científico, médico especializado en inmunología, y padre en un cole SI! en Madrid, hablará adaptando su charla a todos los públicos. Además, al final responderá encantado a las preguntas del público asistente, para que nadie se quede con dudas sobre el coronavirus. El debate estará moderado por las investigadoras Laura Sotodosos Alonso y María García García. El equipo del Programa SI! quiere dar las gracias nuevamente a esta institución, y a sus investigadores e investigadoras, por pensar en el público infantil y acercar un mundo tan amplio y complejo a sus intereses y capacidades.   *El registro y acceso a la charla queda restringido a personas mayores de edad, en representación de los menores que quieran asistir, bien sea en una actividad escolar o familiar.
