Our trip to Oxford

Here you have a short diary of our trip. Unfortunately I have had to delete the music that I had chosen for this video as it had author's copyright. I'll show you the original one at school. I hope you like it.

St. Mary & John C.E. Primary School

Here you have two links to Google maps. Let's see if those who travelled to Oxford can remember these two places.

A MESSAGE TO ALL OF US

EARTH DAY

Earth Day, which was established in 1970 in the U.S., is celebrated on 22nd April each year. It is a day to think about our planet and what we can do to keep it special; to think about saving water and energy, reducing pollution, recycling, protecting our animals, trees and plants, and generally getting kids interested in protecting their environment.

This video doesn't show nice images of our world but what we are doing to our home. 





We need to take care of our planet. We need to take care of Mother Nature. We need to take care of the environment. We need to take care of ourselves!!!!

Here you have this short and free version for kids. Click on the wheel for the subtitles if you need them.

Hi there! This is an experiment. I'm trying this. It is an on-line bulletin board where we can collaborate and share ideas. You just need to click two times on the board and start writing. Once you have finished you can move your sticky note wherever you want to place it. Don't forget to write your name, please!!! I'll moderate your comments and once I've done it you'll see your comment here.
Let's see how it works...

Just in case you want to print the two first posters and have them in your notebook. Don't forget to choose one adjective from one of the Wordle posters and write a sentence with it. Illustrate its meaning with a drawing, please. Remember to choose an adjective that you didn't know previously and you wanted to know its meaning.

Two videos to watch and compare

In this game you will practise vocabulary related to space, the Solar System and planets and also you'll learn to use comparatives and superlatives when talking about planets.

Good luck!!!



In this one, if you want to win, you'll need to remember simple things that you have learnt since you were little children.



Last but not least "The Basketball Game", you need to be very good at maths to try the 3 points shot. 

"IMAGINE" by Playing for Change

Now it's time for you to learn the lyrics. 

"SCHOOL DAY OF NON-VIOLENCE AND PEACE"

This day is also known as: "World or International Day of Non-violence and Peace". We celebrate it on January 30th, the date of Mahatma Gandhi's death anniversary. 
Here you have some quotes by Mahatma Gandhi:

“When it (violence) appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.”
"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony."
"Hate the sin, love the sinner."

"An eye for an eye makes the world blind."

Can you answer some questions about him?

1. When and where was he born?
2. When did he die?
3. How did he die?
4. What does the word "Mahatma" mean?

You can find very interesting information about Gandhi and watch some videos about his life here: Biography

Here you have the song that we are going to learn to celebrate this day. Firstly we'll watch these two videos. I hope you like them. 




This video is from Shimon Peres's 80th birthday. President Bill Clinton sings John Lennon's 'Imagine' with 16-year old Israeli singer Liel, 40 Israeli children, and 40 Arab children! It's quite an inspirational piece!
