English, Art & Science 6 year

In English-speaking countries it is traditional to decorate eggs for Easter . Here is a short story that explains the origin of the Easter Egg:  Would you like to try? Ask your family if you can use a real egg , and if possible, if they can boil it for you to make it hard (it will be easier to decorate).  You can get ideas from this video or use your own ideas:  When you are finished, send me a photograph through Edmodo or my email anaruiz@escolapiosemaus.org Enjoy! 

This week we recommend you  download  this other APP in your  smartphones or tablets . You can  practice English with  fun games  and challenges, and review for the Cambridge Flyers exam.  You can download it through Google Play and the App Store. Enjoy!

Picasso was one of the most important artists from the Contemporary Age in Spain (and in all the world). He is most famous for his Cubist art, but he used many other styles.  Have a look at these portraits, he painted many (click here).   He put all the features in the wrong places!  Now it's your turn:  Draw a portrait Picasso style.   1- Use the steps in the picture to help you. 2- Finish it  with your own original ideas. 3- Send a photograph of your portrait to anaruiz@escolapiosemaus.org 4- We will put some of your portraits in this blog.  Enjoy! 

Good morning! How are you today? Ready for a bit of English? Like we did in class,  write a First Conditional sentence (try to invent a funny one!),  and send  it by email to anaruiz@escolapiosemaus.org You have all week, BUT DON'T FORGET!  We will answer you, and then you will use it to write a chain of at least 10 sentences. We will publish some of them here. Some of you have written good sentences, you can use them as examples:  If I don't go to the hairdresser's quickly, I will look like Tarzan! If I don't play soccer soon, I'll be like a snail in a race. If I stay at home I will stay a lot of time with my family. If I stay a lot of time with my family I will play with them. If I play with them I will make more jokes. If I make more jokes they will laught a lot. If they laught a lot they will not pay attention. If they don’t pay attention I will win the games. If I will win the games I will be the champion!

DO YOU REMEMBER THE RULES TO MAKE A FIRST CONDITIONAL SENTENCE? NOW, LET'S PLAY A GAME!
