Ecosystem Game - Final Products Year 5A

Along this term one of our Natural Projects was Ecosystem Game, it was a project in which we play and learn about the Ecosystems as if we were biologist. By clicking in the following picture you can have a look to the website about the project. 

And now you can enjoy the final products done by the students of Year 5A. Congratulations to all of them and thanks for sharing with us.

Working with inventions (Year 2)

Our world has changed a lot along the last few years because lots of inventions have started to live with us. Do you know what an invention is?

Let's do Think - Pair - Share:

Think: Personally you will think about what you consider an invention is.

Pair: Let's talk with your Thinking Twin about it and decide a common definition for an invention. 

Share: Say your ideas aloud to share them with you whole class group. 

AN INVENTION IS.................................

As we have defined invention is something which improve our lives, let's complete the following chart with our daily life machines.

Inventions and discoveries from Javier Ramos Sancha

We are going to create and investigate about the history of different inventions. First of all we are going to think on different daily machines you want to investigate about.

In groups of four we are going to do the Cooperative Learning Technique: SPIN THE SHEET, and in the paper we are going to write down different invention which are important in your daily life. 

Then a member of each group will read your ideas for everybody and then we will decided the most important ones and in pairs you will investigate about it and complete the worksheet. 

History of inventions from Javier Ramos Sancha

With all the worksheet we are going to order them into a TIME LINE. 

WOULD YOU LIKE TO BECOME AN INVENTOR?

Let's invent something and draw a prototype into your Arts and Craft book. Then you have to explain your mates how it works and what are you going to use it for.

Science Project: "Our Eco-decalogue"

After all the motivation and reflection about the Enviromental problems it would be time to work on it on a clear way. With this project: OUR ECO-DECALOGUE.

Let's create your Learning Diary and share it with your mates and your teacher. Here you are a useful example.

Learning Diary: Our Eco-Decalogue

STEP 1: With the Cooperative Learning Technique: SPIN THE SHEET.

The student will look for some actions to do in order to solve the problems the have discovered in the previous part. We need to finish with at least 10 different actions.The Recorder of the groups will read the final conclusions to the rest and the teacher will write them on the blackboard. With all of them we will create a final decalogue. We will write the final ones in a shared document for everybody to be sure anything is repeated.

STEP 2: Each group of four will have an action of the ten to represent and record a short video using Touchcast with the minIpads. So the student will have to write a short script about what will be in the video and which photo will they use to record it.

The video should have three very short parts:

• A situation explaining a wrong action.
• A situation explaining a good action.
• The sentences from the decalogue.

For example:

We are at home eating the afternoon snack, when the boy finishes the juice throws it to the paper bin. The mum explains  he has to recycle it and he has to throw to the yellow bin. And then you say the sentences about the decalogue.

GRAMMAR TIPS:

• Remember to use the grammar about the present simple CB 145.

STEP 3: Recording the videos at the Image Lab. For the recording we will use a special App in the Ipads to record using the Green Screen Effect. It is called Touchcast. Here you have a website created by Rosa Liarte about how to work with Touchcast

STEP 4: Let's edit the video into WEVIDEO. Create at least a title for it. You should upload your video into Vimeo.

• Title: Point         of our Eco-Decalogue.
• Description: This video was created by ........... for the project the Pollution at Colegio San Gregorio in Aguilar de Campoo.
• Tags:
• Colsangregorio.
• Science
• Year 5.
• Pollution.
• Eco-decalogue.

STEP 5: Create a QR-code using UNITAG. With the video and the QR codes there would be a group who is going to generate an Inphography using PIkTOCHART.

STEP 6: While the expert group is creating the inphography the rest of the groups are going to prepare short Power Point presentations to teach Year 1 and Year 2 about reciclying.

STEP 7: Create your final post in your portafolio.

• Hello my name is ........... 
• These are the final products of our project.......... Along this task we have learnt and thought about about............
• EMBED YOUR VIDEO. 
• EMBED THE DECALOGUE.
• EMBED THE POWER POINT PRESENTATION. 
• Learning Diary:
• What have I learnt with this task?
• Did I have to go back on something?
• How did I learn along this task?
• What do I want to learn more about?
• The tags will be;
• Colsangregorio
• Eco-decalogue
• Pollution
• Science
• Year 5

Here you are a very helpful example about how to create your post.

STEP 8: Sent to your teacher through Microsoft Classroom.
