THE SERVICE SECTOR IN SPAIN (Unit 11-Science Y5)

During the last two lessons we talked about THE ECONOMY and about the PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SECTOR IN SPAIN. Today we are going to look and go indeep into the SERVICE SECTOR OR TERTIARY SECTOR IN SPAIN. 

We want you to have a look to this video. At the end of the video we want you to answer some questions about it. 

• Can you tell three good things about Spain which are good for Tourism?
• What things does Spain improve to have more tourists?

THE SERVICE SECTOR.

We can classify all the activities of this sector depending on the final aim.

• PRIVATE SECTOR: banks, insurance companies, entertaiment industry, restaurant or shops. They want ot make money.

• Major cities and town are also connected by railway. 

• Suburban trains connnect big cities with surrounded areas.

• Big cities (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Bilbao) have underground.

• There are airports in many cities.

TOURISM.

• Every year million of foreing tourist come to Spain.
• Tourism is one of the most important service activities in Spain.
• It provide work for many people and makes a lot of money.

LET'S PRACTICE WITH THIS CROSSWORD.

Once we have finished with all the topic it is time to create your mind maps. We will start creating them in groups and using one of our THINKING ROUTINES: GENERATE - SORT - CONNECT - ELABORATE. 

AL-ANDALUS IN THE IBERIAN PENINSULA (Unit 12-Science Y6)

In the last historical period we talked about the Visigoths. The Visigoths were in the Iberian Peninsula until the 711 A.D. when the King Roderic was defeated by the MUSLIMS. It was in this moment when this new historical period started.

LET'S HAVE A LOOK TO THIS VIDEO TO HAVE AN IDEA ABOUT HOW THE MUSLIM CONQUEST WAS. 

How was the Muslim conquest?

You could look at the map which is below how the Muslims were in the Iberian Peninsula from 711 up to 1492.

THE MUSLIM INVASION.

• Muslims from northern Africa invaded Visigothic Spain in 711 A.D.
• They ocuppied most of the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands.
• This territory was called Al Andalus, and its capital was Cordoba.
• Al Andalus became a province of the Muslim Empire. It was governed by the caliph of Damascus in Asia.

THE EMIRATE OF CALIPHATE OF CORDOBA.

• In 756 A.D. Abd ar-Rahman I established Al Andalus as an independent province or emirate.

• In 929 A.D. Al Andalus became a caliphate under Abd ar-Rahman III. He was the caliph, the maximum political and religious authoroty in Al Andalus. 

• The caliphate lasted until 1031 A.D. During this period, Al Andalus was divided into smaller kingdoms, called taifas.

THE END OF AL ANDALUS.

• The taifas fought among themselves and this helped the Christian Kingdoms to gain territory. 

• In 1212 A.D. The Christians defeated the Muslims at The Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa.
• In 1492 A.D. the Catholic Monarchs conquered the only remaining Muslim Kingdom, the Kingdom of Granada. 

SOCIETY AND CULTURAL HERITAGE.

• Al Andalus society was formed by Muslims, Christians and Jews.
• It had great scienctists, suchs as doctors, mathematicians and geographers. The mathematicians created the systems of numbers which we used today
• The Muslims made great contibutions to society:

• CROPS: like rice.

• INSTRUMENTS: like compass.

• IRRIGATION SYSTEMS.

LET'S PLAY AND REVIEW WHAT YOU'VE LEARNT
