Christmas is a time to think about giving, and as you will have read in the E-mail, this year we are collecting goods for the impoverished children of the Atlas and Sahara in North Africa again. Thank you very much to the children who have contributed already. Please, let's make a big effort to bring in as many of the following, much needed items:
 

Small teddies/ cuddly toys- maximum 10 cm tall (clean please)

 Hair bobbles/ elastics/ hairbands

Caps or sun hats

New McDonalds/Burger King toys in sealed packet (unopened)

Oficina de Correos

La semana pasada, fuimos a visitar la oficina de correos, los niños vieron el proceso de separación y envío de las cartas. También pudieron mandar una tarjeta de navidad a una clase de Year 4 del colegio Británico de Sevilla. La visita fue muy interesante y los niños estuvieron muy atentos a todas las explicaciones.

Please see the above link to the BSGC newsletter about our visit to the desalination and water Plants in Telde. The children were very well behaved and curious. They learnt a lot about water sustainability and I believe some of them have put some ideas into action at home.

We also had some lovely feedback on Twitter:

Fue un auténtico placer recibir a los chicos del @BritishSchoolGC . Los más peques representan nuestro futuro que debe ir de la mano de la #sostenibilidad y cuidado con el #medioambiente. #SomosAgua

Meet the Stuarts!

As you know, in Topic lessons we are travelling through time looking at Fashion through the ages, as social history. This week it was the turn of the Stuart period. What better way to learn about 17th century fashion than be getting creative! The children could choose to make a noble-man from the Stuart era or a noble-man from France.

Measuring Length

In Maths, we have been measuring length. As this is such a practical activity, it would he helpful if the children could practice using a ruler or tape measure at home to carefully measure items. It is always fun to do practical activities, they could estimate first, then measure.

If it is a small item to the nearest mm. 

Eg. Paper clip. Estimate= 3cm 5mm or 3.5cm or 35mm
Actual measurement= 2cm 8mm or 2.8cm or 28mm

If it is a larger item to the nearest cm.

Eg. Height of brother.  Estimate= 1 m 15 cm or 1.15m or 115cm
Actual Measurement= 1m 3cm or 1.03m or 103cm

Eg. Length of bedroom. Estimate= 4m 60 cm or 4.6m or 460cm
Actual Measurement= 5m 38cm or 538cm or 5.38m

Have fun!

Odd Socks Day

We wore odd socks for anti-bullying week. Odd Socks Day is designed to be fun! It’s an opportunity for children to express themselves and celebrate their individuality and what makes us all unique! It's cool to be different!
