Para las familias: acceso al libro en formato digital

Estimadas familias:

Como ya os comenté en la reunión de padres, este año vuestros hijos e hijas tienen acceso al libro en formato digital.

Para poder acceder al libro en este formato, simplemente deberéis seguir los siguientes pasos:

1. Acceder a la página web de la editorial:  http://digital.bilingualbyme.com

2. Una vez en la página deberéis buscar "new user" y pinchar en: Register here.

3. Tendréis que escribir el código que aparece en la contraportada de vuestros libros de textos. Es un código muy largo formado por números, letras en mayúscula y minúscula y signos.

4. Por último deberéis rellenar un fácil formulario. Recordaros en este paso, que piden una dirección de correo electrónico, por lo tanto aconsejaría que dieseis las vuestras.

 Si seguís todos estos pasos ya tendríais acceso al libro con todos los audios.

Si tenéis algún problema no dudéis en decírmelo. 

Muchas gracias!!!!

Cells, tissues, organs and systems

Today we have focussed on cells, tissues, organs and systems. We have studied these areas, exploring the differences between types of cells, and seeing how they join together to form tissues, organs and systems. We have learnt about their functions and how all living things are made up of units which interact with each other.

In order to understand all these new concepts, let´s see this video:

IDIOM

Hi fifth graders!!!

This year we are going learn IDIOMS.

An idiom is an expression whose meaning is not predictable from the usual meaning of its words.

This is the first idiom we will learn this week:

An example of this expresion:

 I had butterflies in my tummy the morning of my wedding.

You can also say: to have butterflies in my stomach. 

We use this expresion when we are very nervous.

CELL STRUCTURE.

We´ve been studying the cell structure.

              

Definition: A cell is the smallest living unit that make up a living thing.

Let´s watch a video.

JUST THE WAY YOU ARE

We have listened to this song to review how to describe someone. Listen to the song again and try to fill in the gaps.

LIVING THINGS.

Living things.

In this unit you will review and extend your knowledge of the differences between living and non-living things based on the three vital functions: nutrition, interaction and reproduction.

You will begin to study cell structure. It is very important that you understand that a cell is a living thing because it performs the three vital functions. You will also learn about unicellular and multicellular organisms.

You will also investigate and learn about classifying into the five kingdoms. You should enjoy looking for the common characteristics and identifying differences between living things. You should also focus on how living things perform the three vital functions.

In this unit you will be introduced to the scientific method. You will establish hypotheses and predict results, learning that hypotheses do not need to be correct.  

WHAT´S IN A NAME?

Here you have a brief summary of our first project: WHAT´S IN A NAME?

The main objective of this  short project was to get to know each other better and learn more aboy our names.

Here you have some of the questions:

•    What's your full name? 
•    Were you named after someone? 
•    What does your name mean?
•    What names did your parents consider before deciding on the one you have?
•    Why did they choose your name? 
•    What is your name's country of origin? (ex. "Ivan" has Russian origins) 
•    What is your nickname? How did you get that nickname? 
•    If you could change your name, what would you name yourself.

Then we read this poem about names:

 

And finally we listened to this wonderful story about names:
