Today we will try to show you how we have organized bilingualism at Colegio San Gregorio, the one in which we work, and what are the different projects or activities we carry on at the school.
I will leave you here the presentation in case you want to have a look about it.
Let's move into our HISTORY TIMELINE. This time we are going to learn about ROMAN HISPANIA. It is said when the Iberian Peninsula was inhabited by the Romans.
This video will show you the life on Roman Times by a 10 year-old children:
A big part of Europe was inhabited by the Romans during this time. It was the Great Roman Empire.
In 218 B.C.Romans defated the Carthaginiasn in a war, so they started to control de Mediterranean Sea.
You could look at the map to discover how they did it.
They Completed the conquest of the Iberian Península in 19 B.C. Because of the resistance of people in the interior.
You could look at the maps how Romans did it.
ROMAN RULE:
The peninsula became a part of the Roman Empire. It was called Hispania.
Inhabitans adopted Roman customs, and they were ruled by Roman law.
They spoke Latin.
The governor was a Roman person.
The Iberian leaders became the Roman Aristocratic class, and part of the goverment.
END OF THE ROMAN RULE:
After about 400 A.D. Germanic tribes from the central and northern Europe invaded Hispania and conquered the Territory. The Roman lost the control of the península.
You could at the map how Germanic tribes invaded the Iberian Peninsula.
Romans were very good at Architecture, transport and communication. They constructed:
When we talk about pre-Roman Times we are speaking about all the time which goes from the Prehistory to the Roman Empire in the Iberian Península.
During this time in the Iberian Peninsula there were different groups of inhabitants: The Celts, The Iberians, The tartessians, The Phoenicians, The Greeks and The Cartaginians.
With this video you will understand better the beggining of this period, Let's have a look to the history of the Celts.
The Iberians: they lived in the east and south of Spain. They were warriors, herders, farmers, craftsmen, merchants and slaves.
The Celts stayed in Spain in the north and the centre. Their tribes were divided into family clans. They were herders and farmers. They were also expert metalworkers, they made jewellery, weapons and tools.
Celts and Iberians mixed to form the Celtiberians.
The Tartessians lived in the Guadalquivir valley (It was rich in metals: gold, silver and copper). They were great travellers and expert metalworkers and salt producers.
The Phoenicians were traders from Asia. They were settled on the south coast. They founded Gades (Cadiz). Thay became important trading partners of the Tartessians.
The Greeks settled on the Mediterranean coast. They came to trade ceramic objects for metals. They founded the city of Denia.
The Carthaginians came from the North Africa to trade metals and cloth. They also settled on the Mediterranean coast and founded the city of Cartagena.
All of this colonising civilisations left culturan legacies, such as the alphabet and metal coins.
After the first part of this topic: RIVERS. Let's move onto another important part of the Environment: THE CLIMATE.
Before going indeep with this topic maybe it would be great to have a look to a video, but please pay attention to it because at the end you have to answer this two questions:
What two factors can define a climate?
How many climate zones are there at the Earth?
CLIMATE
WEATHER can change in a few minutes.
CLIMATE is a region's characteristic temperature, wind or precipitation over a long time
THE EARTH'S CLIMATE.
The distance for the equator determinate how much heat it takes.
TROPICAL ZONE. It is very hot every year.
TEMPERATE ZONE:
There are warm summers.
There are cold winteres.
Some parts are rainy and at another place it is dry.
Después de visualizar el vídeo y como tarea de semana santa tendréis que dejar un comentario sobre el corto que hemos visto.
Que comentar es tarea sencilla, solo tenéis que pensar situaciones o cosas que teníais tentación de hacer y por alguna circunstancia no lo habéis hecho.
We are going to learn about another topic of Science, from this moment to the end of the school year we are going to focus our lesson on the HISTORY OF SPAIN. To learn history is very important because this will be the way you will understand most of the things that are taking place now.
LET'S HAVE A LOOK TO THESE PHOTOS AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS:
What can you see in the two pictures?
What are these things made of?
Which ones were made first?
THE FOLLOWING VIDEO WILL HELP YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE LIFE IN THE PREHISTORY PERIOD.
PALEOLITHIC PERIOD:
Million years ago, Iberian Peninsula was inhabited by homids or early humans beings. Modern people appeared in Spain about 35.000 years ago.
With this post we will keep on evaluating your partner's videos and mind maps following the rubric and answering to this form.
When you finish reading the rubric and you have everything clear about your mind, you can start watching your partner's video and answering the questions to evaluate it. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE CLEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO LOOK FOR AND WHAT THE CRITERIAS FOR EVALUATION ARE.
You will send your evaluation through this Google Form. DON'T FORGET TO CLICK ON SUBMIT AT THE END. To write the comments, you have to follow this pattern:

Ese vídeo es "upload" por ellos mismos a su propio canal de youtube para terminar con todo ello, en su propio blog, construyendo un post dedicado a resumir y entender mejor la unidad.
We will start a new topic: THE ENVIRONMENT. Along this topic we will focus our attention in three main points:
RIVERS.
CLIMATE.
VEGETATION AND FAUNA.
We will start with a new THINKING ROUTINE: 3-2-1 BRIDGE. With this new thinking routine you are going to reflex on what you know about the topic now and at the end of it how much have you learn or what have happened with the topic in your mind and how are new things connected with the previous ones. I mean, what kind of bridge you have built during lessons about the topic.
So take you notebook and please write the title of the new topic and draw this chart.
TIPS: Maybe to write an analogy or a metaphor will be very difficult for you in a foreing language so we invite you to write it in your own language, in this case Spanish. Here you have some examples that could help you to do it. ANALOGIES: "El perro es a ladrar como el gato a maullar". "Piloto es a avión como maquinista es a tren". METAPHORES: "El trabajo es pan comido" "Tus ojos brillan como diamantes".
LET'S MOVE ONTO THE FIRST TOPIC RIVERS:
First you are going to watch this video but please pay attention at the end of it you will have to answer these two questions:
Where is it collected the rain water on land?
How are the deepest areas of the ocean?
RIVERS
A river is a body of moving water it starts high in the mountains and flows into sea, lake or another river.
The course is the route which a river takes.
The flow is the amount of water which a river carries.
LAKES AND RESERVOIRS
Lakes are large bodies of water surrounded by land.
Reservoirs are artificial lakes.
We use water from reservoirs to irrigate fields and for human consumption.
WATERSHEDS IN SPAIN
Watershed where all rivers flow in to the same sea.
With this post we will start with a new way of doing at the class, you are going to evaluate your partner's videos and mind maps following the rubric and answering to this form.
When you finish reading the rubric and you have everything clear about your mind, you can start watching your partner's video and answering the questions to evaluate it. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE CLEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO LOOK FOR AND WHAT THE CRITERIAS FOR EVALUATION ARE.

Tengo el placer de presentaros los post publicados por los alumnos de 5ºA en la asignatura de Science.
Estos posts han sido publicados en el blog de aula:
Los alumnos han utilizado la herramienta de la web 2.0 http://popplet.com/ para hacer sus propios diagramas o mapas conceptuales sobre la unidad 8 the landscape.
Después han utilizado sus propios mapas conceptuales para construir un vídeo utilizando la web tool http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/. Ese vídeo es "upload" por ellos mismos a su propio canal de youtube para terminar con todo ello, en su propio blog, construyendo un post dedicado a resumir y entender mejor la unidad.
Más tarde lo han enviado a una asignación por EDMODO nuestra red social.
Aquí, os dejo con cada post hecho por cada alumno.
