Welcome May!

 

 

Happy birthday Lautaro!

 

 

During the month of May we did lots of descriptions. Here are some pictures and links to check out.

 

 

 

 

 

Let's practice now! Just click and follow the links.

         

 

 We also began with our Phonics lessons!     

 



 

 

In LITERATURE we began reading:

 

It's a story about a group of fifth-graders who, divided into boys vs. girls, hold a 3-day "no talking" contest. They limit themselves to 3-word phrases or sentences, only to be used with teachers; communication with everyone else must be done by writing, gestures, mime, facial expressions, or sign language. Team captains keep points of everyone who speaks a word over the 3-word limit, and the team with the least number of points wins.

 

Have you ever wondered if you could do this contest for only 3 minutes?

 

Three minutes without:

• talking
• standing up
• moving around
• shouting
• whispering

Three minutes

• paying attention to your teacher
• raising your hand to speak
• listening to your peers when they talk

 

In your opinion, what would be the most challenging rule to follow?

 

 

 The Greg's pupil of the week was given to

Congratulations!
 

See you next month! Keep up your good work 5th!
 

 

 

 

Welcome April!

Hello everyone! 

During the month of April we did lots activities such as:

We had our History test in which you did GREAT!
You did very interesting concept maps about King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I.

Here are some Tudor poems for you to enjoy! 

Henry VIII

Henry VIII had six wives
But not at the same time.
Even in 1500
Bigamy was a crime.
He was a ruthless king,
Rather fond of execution.
He shut down many monasteries,
during "The Dissolution".
If there's a ruined monastery
Near to your home town
There is a good chance that it was 

Henry who knocked it down.

Queen Mary I

Like her mother, Catherine,
Mary was a Catholic.
She really hated Protestants
They really made her sick.
For protestants back then,
times were really scary.
She killed so many of them that 

they called her "Bloody Mary".

Queen Elizabeth I

Elizabeth was 25
when she became the queen -
Quite young, but one of the best rulers
England's ever seen.
Famous for her fine clothes,
Her white skin, and red hair,
Her reign was called a "golden age"
But when she died she left no heir.

We also had our Literature Test! 

It was a scary test since it was about Dracula & vampires!

The Greg's pupil of the week was given to

FLORENCIA, CANDELA & CLARA for:

• working with enthusiasm
• sharing knowledge with peers
• being perseverant in their work

Great work for all of you!!! Congratulations!

See you next month! Keep up your good work 5th!

4th WEEK OF SCHOOL

Hello everyone! Welcome to another week of learning!

We began our week learning a new song by Jack Johnson. 

Click on the image to sing it along with him!

 

 "The 3 R's"
Three it's a magic number
Yes it is, it's a magic number
Because two times three is six
And three times six is eighteen
And the eighteenth letter in the alphabet is R
We've got three R's we're going to talk about today
We've got to learn to
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
If you're going to the market to buy some juice
You've got to bring your own bags and you learn to reduce your waste
And if your brother or your sister's got some cool clothes
You could try them on before you buy some more of those
Reuse, we've got to learn to reuse
And if the first two R's don't work out
And if you've got to make some trash
Don't throw it out
Recycle, we've got to learn to recycle,
We've got to learn to
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Because three it's a magic number
Yes it is, it's a magic number
3, 3, 3
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36
33, 30, 27, 24, 21, 18, 15, 12, 9, 6, and
3, it's a magic number 

We also began working with our Backpack book and spoke about  AMAZING PEOLPE such as:

PABLO PICASSO

(Spanish painter)

 

ANTONI GAUDI

(Spanish architect)

JOHN LENNON

(English musician, singer and songwriter)

IMAGINE

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace
You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world
You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one

We had a short week since Easter is coming so I wish you a very:

 And before saying good bye I want to share  
these thoughts with you...

See you next week!
