EXPLORING PLANTS: LEARNING THROUGH PLAYDOUGH

 In first grade, learning about plants is hands-on, visual, and rooted in curiosity. Young learners explore basic ideas such as what plants need to grow, the main parts of a plant (roots, stem, leaves, and flowers), and how plants help living things. 

To show their understanding, students engage in creative modelling using play dough during science class. By shaping roots, stems, leaves, and flowers, children turn abstract ideas into something concrete and meaningful. This playful approach allows learners to demonstrate understanding through action, and build fine motor skills at the same time. Modelling with play dough makes learning visible and fun.

ANIMALS EVERYWHERE

Hello again, children.
We are sure that you want to know
even more about animals.
Don´t you?

SOCIAL SCIENCES PROJECTS

During the Arts & crafts classes, the pupils in 4th grade formed groups and made great 3D projects about the topics of the Social Sciences Area.

THE FIVE SENSES

We are learning about the five senses at school during our Natural Sciences classes, but there are many ways of learning by means of experimentation...

MIND MAPPING

Our students have done mind maps to organize 

information about a new topic "PLANTS".

See how awesome they are!!!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

                                                                     

CLASSROOM IN NATURE

Last week year 5 students had the chance of participating in a full inmersion programme in Espinosa de los Monteros. The programme consists of environmental lessons in the English language. Something new we learnt has to do with the 8’Rs’, we could observe how everybody 24 hours a day and 7days a week showed respect to the environment and cared for its protection.

VISUAL THINKING

During this school year, the 4th graders are making their own mind maps, comics... and using visual thinking strategies for summarising, studying and remembering.
They are having fun while learning and improving their marks, specially in Sciences areas.
Here you are some examples:

SCIENCE MATTERS

SCIENCE MATTERS

In Year 6 we enjoy learning Science. As an example of that some six Year 6 students are representing our School in "Scratch Day" in Valladolid College. There, they will share their projects on Robotics together with same age students and they will take part in a workshop based on solving Challenges. They have been working extremely hard at home, in ICT lessons and during breaks that we are very excited to see how they perform. We want to shout out loud!!

GOOD LUCK FRIENDS!

Scratch Day

A visit to the Science museum

The 4th graders visited Valladolid Science Museum this week, including the planetary and two temporary exhibitions: "Nutrition: life boost" and "The treasures of Tutankhamun".
