THE VISIGOTHS (Unit 13-Science Y5)

Let's start a new topic of Science. As always we will start with a THINKING ROUTINE. The thinking routine is THINK - PAIR - SHARE. We are going to review what we have learnt about history so:

• THINK: about what we have learn about prehistory, Iberians and Romans and try to represent it on your notebook on a timeline.
• PAIR: check it with your partner and complete it in case you need. 
• SHARE: We will try to complete one timeline with all your ideas. 

Let's have a look to this video and answer this questions:

• What shape was the visigothic church?
• Can you describe a bit how the floor of the church was?

THE INVASION OF GERMANIC TRIBES

In 409 A.D.  the Vandals invaded Spain.

The Visigoths established a kingdom on the Iberian Peninsula.

THE VISIGOTHS

The Visigoths crossed the Pyrenees went to the center of Hispania. They established Toledo as their capital.

Later they conquered the places occupied by the Germanic Tribes. 

They changed their language, religion and laws to unify their new kingdom. They adopted the Hispano-Roman culture and converted to Christianity. They based on Roman law.

They lived in villages. They used land for agriculture and livestock farming. They were expert metalworkers. 

The Visigothic kingdom ended after the Muslim invasion in 711 AD.

VISIGOTHS IN THE IBERIAN PENINSULA (Unit 12-Science Y6)

Let's move onto the next period of History. Remember we have talked about Prehistory, Pre-Roman times, and the Roman Empire in the Iberian Peninsula. 
Now we will learn about the MIDDLE AGES, and today we will start when the Germanic Tribes conquered Hispania and defeated the Roman Empire.

This video will explain you what happened in the Iberian Peninsula during the MIDDLE AGES.

REVIEW WHAT YOU'VE LEARNT. 

A HISTORY MAGAZINE (History-Science Y6)

You are going to become a history journalist!!!

After a term full of history lessons. We are going to investigate about the history of our area, publish an article and create a History Magazine in the class.

The article will have five parts:

• Title (It should be atractive, not just the name of the History period)
• Historical context of the period, some short information talking about history.
• Documentary about this period. (It should be an storytelling about daily life in this historical period)
• Brief summary about what happened in our area (Aguilar de Campoo)
• The authors and from which websites or books you took the information (the bibliography).

As we have done in all the tasks it is very important to follow the process and the following steps:

1. We will divide the class into 9 groups (most of them will be pairs and some will be threes)

• Prehistory. 
• Preroman times.
• Roman Times
• Visigothics.
• Muslims.
• Christian Kingdoms.
• Catholic Monarchs and XVI century.
• XVIII Century.
• XIX Century.

2. Let's review all the history posts to look for information about your history period. 

Mi Primer Año en Red XXI: History Y6 Posts.

3. Write a short summary for the HISTORICAL CONTEXT  with the important facts.

4. CREATE a documentary or "storytelling" about life in the historical period:

• My life in the Paleolithic: A Digital Story can be a good example for you. 
• Tips: Remember to create your storyboard and script and show it to your teacher to check you are in the right way.  

5. With the following links INVESTIGATE and WRITE a paragraph about this historical period in our area of Aguilar de Campoo. 

• Prehistory: The nearest Prehistory areas and remains are Altamira  and  Atapuerca.
• Preromans times: There was a tribe along this lands The Támaricos and also is very famous El Castro del Monte Bernorio.
• Roman Times: The Romans founded many cities in our province. Romans in Palencia 
• Visigothics: We can look for information in the village of Mave.
• Muslims: We don't really have remains of them but we can know what happened on Muslim times in Valderredible. 
• Christian Kingdoms: Aguilar was born in this period. Also we have important Romanesque momuments. 
• Catholic Monarch and the XVI Century: Aguilar had Marquis. Also Charles I of Spain and V of Germany visited our village. And we have an important explorer Juan Martín
• XVIII Century: The Catastro del Marqués de la Ensenada talked about Aguilar. 
• XIX Century: The French troops were here.

6. You will create your article for the Magazine. We are going to use a new app to  create it:

This video will help you to know how to deal with it: 

(It was done by @jferna35)

Your teacher will say to you what page of the magazine you have to do and also the username and the password to enter in your class magazine.

7. Each member of the group will write a post in the kidblog as it was a page of the magazine. And send it to the teacher through the EDMODO. 

8. EVALUATION:

• The final score will be up to 100 points.
• 50 points will be given by the teachers. (Using the rubric)
• 28 will be given by self-evaluation. (Using the rubric, it is done individually)
• 22 will be given to each member of the team. (Give out maximum 22 points to each member of the group)


You are going to create a paper as draft. You have to include:
• Your name and members of your group.
• Your self-evaluation with the rubric. (Maximum 28 points)
• Your team member's points. (Maximun 22 points)
