Hello!
Boys and Girls, to finish our term and year I am going to show you some of the work you did during this time at home. Don’t worry if you don’t see your work here, this are the ones I received via email. Going through all of them again made me smile, hope it makes you smile too!
Well done on your big effort and thank you for sharing them with us.
Let’s see!

Hola boys and girls!
I hope you had a lovely weekend, it was certainly really nice to go outside and enjoy the warm sunshine. Today we will be doing some anagrams in Spanish. All the topics that are in the Sway are things we have worked with during these past months. You can choose any that you like, such as, numbers, magic words and colours.
Look at the next sway and choose your topic.

Hello Boys and Girls!
Today we are going to learn about a breed of birds that gather every spring and summer in the coasts of Scotland, Puffins. They nest in cliffs at scattered locations around the coast of Scotland, northern England, south-west England and Wales. They are a very special type of birds that live in the sea most of their lives and only go to land for breeding. Here in Scotland are several viewpoints to see them, one of them is at the RSPB Scotland Fowlsheugh Nature Reserve. Last year I decided to go and see them, it was an amazing experience! It took me a while to spot them because they were not the only birds there and they are very small.
Let’s learn more about them.
Read the questions below and look at the Puffin picture.
Click on the Sway below to get to know Puffins more.

Now that you know more about Puffins, that you have seen photos and videos of them, let’s make one.
Materials
You will use any materials you have at home like colour pencils, colour paints, markers or anything you can find. Here are two options of what you can do:
Steps
If you feel unsure of how to draw a Puffin, then this might help.
Enjoy!
Bonjour! Hola!
I hope you are enjoying your new topic for this week boys and girls. Since I moved in to Scotland I have loved everything about it, specially its language. That’s why with Ms Rees we thought it would be so fun to mix all languages and give you a try matching words to their language.
Here is a word document that will allow you to see the words you will be looking up, once you find the meaning in Scots, Spanish and French you put them in the column where they belong.
In this Sway you will have one slide for each language with the words mixed up, try and find to which language they belong. Below the Sway you will find 3 links to dictionaries that could help you.
Let’s Begin.

Good Morning Boys and Girls!
I have been looking at all your artwork from last week and this week and it looks fantastic! After seen so many activities related to nature, it made me think of something super fun that you could try at home. It is going to be a big challenge because you will need to be very careful and detailed. Also, it is going to be such a fun challenge, I am already smiling thinking of all the great ideas you might have.
Let’s Begin!
Well done! All of them use their skin to protect themselves from predators, this is called Camouflage. The Mountain Hare changes its fur to white for winter season and brown for the other seasons.
BBC – Earth: How quickly can you spot these camouflaged animals?
Many animals try to hide or blend in with the background to protect themselves from predators, even big animals do it. Even though, some animals can not change the colour of their skin they use other strategies and high skills to hide. Click on the following video to learn more.

Bonjour! Hola!
Boys and Girls today you will be learning about some famous artists, a bit of their history, where they lived and their most famous pieces of art. To do that, you will see the information on the sways and you will locate every important place in relation to them on Google Earth.
You will be looking at four artists, two from Spain and two from France. They all did amazing pieces of art, some of them you can find them in museums and others you can see from high up in the sky!
Spicy: Look up for the places given in the Sways, write in your journal about the one you thought was most interesting.
Hot: Choose your favourite artist and do some research about him so you can tell us more.
Let’s begin.

Comment about your thoughts and your work.
Hello Everyone,
What a weekend we had last week! Such a lovely sun out just for us. Since it has been so beautiful and it is art week we will try a simple experiment, you might have tried it before. If not, this is a great opportunity to explore and have some fun.
So, we will be doing a magical rainbow. There are a few materials you can use so feel free to try things you might find at home.
Let’s start with the materials.
Materials
Step 1
Fold a piece of paper towel (like if it was a book). Cut the paper to be 7.5 inches or 19 cm (any longer and the rainbow may not connect fully).
Step 2
Draw rectangles of the rainbow colours on each end. Make sure you colour them really well and that they have lots of ink so it can travel easily later on.
Step 3
Place 2 cups with water filled 3/4 full. You only want the bottom of the paper towel in so, leave some space from the top of the cup.
Then place the edges in each cup, wait patiently and you will see what happens.
Step 4
Observe and wait patiently and you will see this happening. Leave it for 10 to 15 mnts. 
What do you think it is going to happen at the end?
Comments your thoughts and ideas. Send a photo to your teachers of your rainbow. 🙂
Happy Art Week!
Hola Methlick!
Ms Rees and I have got a challenge for you today, can you guess? I think it might be a bit tricky at first but it always is and in any language you do it. Even for me they are still tricky in English, but that is what makes it fun!
Trabalenguas…..that is the Spanish word for Tongue Twisters! Now, tongue twisters are one of many exercises that actors, actresses, singers and anyone who has to talk for a big audience do at some point of their careers to explore their voices.
For you, this will help you to improve your confidence, have your voice in control and play. You can do this with everyone at home. I will include some in Spanish and French.

Bonjour! Hola! Methlick,
This is week 2 of Health Week and for languages we have a special activity for you with the help of Ms Rees. You will learn some words related to food in French and Spanish since this week our focus will be Healthy Food/Sports. This is followed by a challenge we thought you would enjoy lots! The challenge is related to our photo. Now, the vocabulary will be in one sway and the challenge in the next sway.
Are you ready?

We will be looking forward to your comments.
Ms Rees and Ms Maturana.
Good Morning Everyone,
This week is Health week, you have been doing different nice activities and I thought we could link some of them with our activity for today. As you can read from the title and see in the photo you will build a safe place inside your house, a place where you can go when you feel sad, mad, scared or happy.
You can use this place to do things that will help to take those feelings that are sometimes not very nice and transform them into happiness. Some things you can do here can be: read your book for the Book Club, have a healthy snack, sing songs, listen to good music, tell a story, play with your toys, use the paper phones you made last week and all others you might be thinking just now.
I am going to be using 6 designs that IKEA posted as part of a quarantine campaign encouraging people to stay home. All of them have different materials that you will have at home from blankets to books, if you don’t you can always replace them for something else. Instructions are simple, consisting only of images. Choose 1 and with your family build your perfect safe place.
Make sure you have an adult supervision and the structure is safe to be inside.
Let’s see!
Don’t forget to post your comments and send a photo of your tents!
Ms. Maturana
