SCIENCE: 4th grade: Gardening

In Science, we planted some seeds in a pot and we observed how they grew week by week.

All children participated and had to draw their plant and describe what changes they could see:

DAY 1: We put the seed in the soil and we water the plant.

DAY 7: There are some roots and a small stem.

DAY 14: There are some stems and some leaves.

DAY 21: The plant is growing fast. There are roots, leaves and stems.

Finally, each child took the plant home. 

SCIENCE: 5 senses: Tasting game

In Science, we studied the 5 senses: SMELL, TOUCH, HEARING, SIGHT AND TASTE.

And we did an experiment in class to demonstrate that our taste buds in our tongue 

can taste 4 different tastes: SWEET, SOUR, BITTER, SOUR.

I took to class different types of food related to the 4 different tastes and children had to guess 

what it was and the taste it had.

They had fun and learned Science in a motivating way.

BOOK FAIR: 12th December 2016 - USBORNE books

5th GRADE: SONG: AVICII - Waiting for love

We have listened to this song in class to motivate ourselves at the start of the school year!

English is fun, and there are lots of songs on the radio in English, so that's why we want to learn more English!!!!

The title of this song is "Waiting for love": it talks about a boy and a dog.
One day, the boy goes to war, and his dog looks for him because he misses him.
They love each other so much.
We like it a lot!!!

WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!
