Volcano Pictures

Wednesday is homework day and it was more exciting than most! With a vast array of different volcanoes and colourful eruptions we felt like suddenly our classroom was a real-life ring of fire. Here are some of the Volcanoes, we hope you like them.

In geography our teacher told us that we were going to study about volcanoes.On the computer we saw in which places were the most dangerous volcanoes.But suddenly in Europe and in other places volcanoes started to erupt. So on Friday when our teacher gave us the homework, he gave us a paper that told us to ´make a volcano´. We had to decide how to make a volcano. Some of the children decided to make it out of plasticine and others chose other materials. On Wednesday all the children had a volcano and our is now full of model volcanoes.

Science Investigation

In science we have been learning about solids and liquids. Here is a recount of an investigation into separating the mess. We started with a bowl of sand, salt, rice and paper clips. First we separated the paper clips with a magnet. Secondly we separated
the rice with a sieve- the rice stayed in the sieve and the sand and the salt fell through.
To separate the sand and the salt we tried to put them in the filter paper but neither of them went through. So we mixed water with the sand and salt and the dissolved salt went through the filter with the water. After that we put the salt and the water in the sun to evaporate the water, leaving the salt crystals behind.

A TRIP TO THE BEACH.

After an exciting morning at the Nature Center the teachers decided to have lunch on the beach. The light brown sand was very soft. There was a spider’s cobweb to play on and our feet hurt a little bit when we climbed, but it was fun.

Next, a child called Alex found a little ball so some Year 4 pupils played “Catch”. We spent a lot of time (approximately half an hour) playing on the beach.

The Trip

On Monday morning we went on a trip to the nature centre in Sagunto. In the centre we collected aromatic flowers and vegetables. Next we watched ducks and birds in an observatory by a pond, where we saw a dog whose name was Mislatta. Then we watched a film on how important water is. Finally we went to the beach and we ate our lunch.

MI PRIMER BLOG

Hola a todos:

¡Parece mentira, con la de años que tengo!¡Este es mi primer blog!
Es cierto eso de que los alumnos nos enseñáis muchas cosas a los profesores o, al menos, nos obligáis a aprenderlas.
A ver si le cojo el gusto y sigo escribiendo. La próxima en valenciano.
Un saludo.

A Day in The Life of a Los Olivos Pupil

When we arrive at class we have to do ´Early Work´ whilst Tom does the register. In the morning we study Literacy, Maths and Castellano.

Then at 11:15 we go to the patio (playground) for 30 minutes. Next we do subjects like Music with Clare, Sport with Phil and Valenciano with Pili. We go to eat lunch at 1:15 pm and it lasts for 1 hour.

In the afternoon we read and then we do subjects such as Science, Geography, History, Art and DT. We go home at 4:30 pm.

We love school a lot!

Dancing girls competition

The girls of Los Olivos love dancing.

The dance competition at our school is very serious for all the girls who take part in it.

All the girls in year 4 worked in groups to perform diferent dances.

The groups they danced to, were: Las Divinas, Tango lloron, Chiwawa, Smooth Criminal, Poker Face and Hannah Montana.

The winners were Las Divinas and Tango Lloron.

The Kitchen Dance

Hi!

Santi, Sara and Salma (All beginning with "S")
Are starting to perform a kitchen dance in Year 4, and this is how it goes:

"I am a teacup,
I am a teapot,
I am a spoon,
And a ladel.

I am a deep plate,
I am a full plate,
I am a knife,
I am a fork.

I am some sugar,
I am some salt,
A wooden spoon
and the AVE Express
"Choo Choo!"

This is silly but fun because it is for little boys and is easy to learn it.

You can try it in Spanish so you can improve your Spanish

Volcano in Iceland

On Thursday 16 April 2010, a volcano in Iceland just erupted. Ash was at 11km altitude and affected all Europe. The volcano took many years to erupt. TheEarth´s crust broke and the magma pushed up from below. Hundreds of flights were canceled and lots of people where waiting for the flights to be restarted.

We are learning about Volcanoes and Earthquakes in the News so although it was bad timing for the rest of Europe it was good timing for us!
