We are learning about daily routines this week. Take a look at the things we all do every day and enjoy the story. Also, have fun with the games and if you need extra practice, don't forget to download and print the worksheets for the unit!
In the next few days we will have a new post on history (social science) and natural science. Stay tuned!
We have a sunny weekend ahead. I know you will be out playing in the sun, as you should, but try to make a little time to review Unit 4 from your Natural Science book.
Today I leave you with two presentations, one in Spanish and one in English, and extra worksheets you can print and do at home.
Good morning! This Friday I leave you with materials so you can further study our two units before the test. Be careful, parents, because the answers to the exercises are here too :-) Natural Science Worksheets - Our Systems Social Science Worksheets - Spain's Geography You can also take a look at this PowerPoint presentation about Spain's Geography. It's in Spanish, to explain and reinforce the concepts and vocabulary in the book.
And now: review time:
Spain is located in the Iberian peninsula.
A peninsula is a piece of land bordered by water on three sides but connected to land on one side.
The Iberians were an ancient tribe that lived and ruled in the peninsula long time ago.
There are two different countries in the Iberian peninsula: one is Spain and the other is our neighbour Portugal.
And this is how the Iberian peninsula can be seen from outer space.
Spain is politically divided into 17 Autonomous Communities and 2 Autonomous cities ( located in Africa: Ceuta and Melilla). All of them have a flag, a hymn, different traditions, even a different language but we all belong to the same country and share a lot in common.
Try to see if you already know its rivers and relief.
This group (sometimes called dairy products) is pretty important for growing kids.
You get:
calcium
protein
vitamins
You need 2 to 4 servings every day.
Meat, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, nuts and legumes
Did you notice that some of these foods were also in another group?
Well done! This group is just as important to keep you healthy, but you can see from the size of the serving on the plate that your body doesn't need as much from this group as the others.
'Poultry' just means chicken, turkey and other birds. You get:
protein
iron
vitamins
minerals
You need a half to 2 servings from this group each day.
You will notice that two groups of foods have been left off the plate (Aaah, shame).
They are:
Fats and oils are not in the healthy food circle. They are down in one corner as foods that you need a bit of but not too much.
Your body still needs them, but they can be found in other foods like meat and dairy products.
Of course most kids like these foods, but the truth is your body is not too keen on having lots of them. It only needs to use a little bit and the rest just sits around in all the wrong places!
So you should only eat a little bit and not very often - maybe at special times like parties or once a week.
We have started our Social and Natural Science Units. Today you can take a look at our country and its relief. Also, in Science you can see a PowerPoint presentation about our systems, listen to a rap about our systems and see and experiment! Let's review and learn some more!

Eat enough food from each group every day.
