Grade 3: Learning about Matter

Last week of Term1, we talked about  matter.You have to remember that matter is everthing that takes up space and has mass.The three important states of matter are: Solid liquid and gas.
In the animation below you will see how the particles of each state behave. I hope you like it.

When you finish watching the animation, play this game and have fun! :D

Grade 4 : More about Plants

After learning the life cycle of a flowering plant,the boys and girls from grade 4 learned a new song which title is "The needs of a plant".With this video my children learned that plants have basic needs: soil, water, sun, air and space.So, I invite you to see the video again to enjoy and sing it again.

Have fun and remember to take care of the plants!

Grade 4 also celebrated Green Day.

Green day was an attractive day for my grade 4 students too.This Green day project was also divided in two main parts.Lions and Tigers were assigned to make a group work following this following sucess criteria:

1. Label the parts of a real flower and paste it in a cardboard.
2. Tear green paper in small pieces to paste them around the border of the cardboard.
3. Write three ideas why plants are important in our lives.
4. Paste these ideas in the cardboard to finish the poster.

On the other hand, Leopards also created some beautiful souvenirs to share with their friends from the other two rooms. I was very happy to see all grade 4 not only enjoying while making these projects,but also showing the responsibility we have to save the plants in our home "The Earth".

Take a look at the pictures of them while working. Grrrrrrrrrrrrreat work my kids! :D

Grade 3: Green Day Projects

In term 1, my grade 3 students made some beautiful projects to highlight the importance of "Green Day". They understood that it is our responsibility to take care of the plants, green areas and all the plants to save our home: the Earth. They recognised the important role that plants play in the planet: to keep all living things alive.

The big project was divided in two main parts: creating posters and making some souvenirs.That is why Seals and Penguins created beautiful posters which were shown in the bulletin board, and Polar Bears made some trees souvenirs, which were shared with their friends from the other two rooms. Nice works my children! :D

Let me show you the pictures of them while working just by clicking the slideshow below:

Grade 4 Group Works Presentations: Science Anthem and Germination

Last week , all grade 4 were giving their group presentations about the new Science anthem and their Germination Projects.For their group presentations they used different pictures.They also got good results from their germination projects because most seeds had germinated well and they could see ther seedlings.
It was an amazing time by learning and having fun at the same time.Lions,Tigers and Leopards could see that with love, cheers, effort and patience,they can always have great results.You can now enjoy the video with all the pictures taken while you were working.
GRRRREAT WORK dear children!!

Grade 3: Investigating Habitats

In term 1, we started talking about habitats.Grade 3 students understood that just like you and me all animals and plants need a place to live in.They learned that there are different examples of habitats in the world from a big forest to a simple drop of water in which some microorganisms are found. They were very interested in learning more about habitats.All students participated in a game in which they had to click the animal under the right category.

In the link below you will find the web page about the habitats games.I hope you like it.
