Hi kids!
To help you prepare the Nutrition Test, I have prepared this interactive worksheet.
Please, complete it and send it to me.

Hello everybody!
Today in class we talked about a way to express what we are doing at the moment.We use the PRESENT CONTINUOS form.
We need the SUBJECT + VERB TO BE + THE MAIN VERB + ING
Hi kids!
Let's review what we have learnt about Nutrition.
Nutrition is one of our three life processes. Our body needs oxygen and nutrients and also to eliminate waste.
The body systems involved in this process are: THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM, THE EXCRETORY SYSTEM, THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM AND THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.
THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
It helps us to get nutrients from the food and elimate the waste.
The food gets in our body throug the MOUTH. In the mouth, the teeth break down the food and the tongue mixes it with saliva. When we swallow, the food goes down the ESOPHAGUS into the STOMACH. In the stomach, gastric juices make the food into a thick liquid. In the SMALL INTESTINE, nutrients pass into the blood and the waste go through the LARGE INTESTINE where it becomes harder and leaves our body through the ANUS.
It helps us to get rid of the excess liquid in our body.
It is made up of : two kidneys, two ureters, one bladder and one urethra.
The KIDNEYS filter the blood. Then, excess water and waste are made into urine. Urine goes down the URETERS into the BLADDER. When the bladder is full, it sends a message to our brain.The urine leaves our body through the URETHRA when we go to the toilet.
Let's watch this video,
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
It helps us get oxygen from the air.
It is made up of the NOSE, WINDPIPE (OR TRACHEA), THE BRONQUI and THE LUNGS.
When we breathe in, the air goes into the NOSE through the NOSTRILS. In the nostrils, little hairs stop foreign objects to enter our respiratory system.The air goes down the WINDPIPE. The windpipe divides into two tubes called BRONQUI. The bronqui go into the LUNGS. The lungs are like big sacks, they are squidgy and are made up of lots of little bags called ALVEOLI suronded by blood capillaries.The air goes into the alveoli.In the alveoli, Oxygen goes in and carbon dioxide goes out.
When we breathe, we use our DIAPHRAGM.
When we breathe IN, the diaphragm goes DOWN and the chest gets BIGGER.
When we breathe OUT, the diaphragm goes UP and the chest gets SMALLER.
Let's watch this video!
CIRCULATORY SYTEM
The circulatory system transports BLOOD (that includes nutrients and oxygen) to every part of our body.
It is made up of the HEART and the BLOOD VESSELS.
It is functioning day and night.
HEART. It is a muscle the pumps the blood. Every time it pumps is called a HEARTBEAT. The more oxygen we need, the faster our heart beats.
BLOOD VESSELS can be VEINS, ARTERIES AND CAPILLARIES.
VEINS: return the blood back to the heart.
ARTERIES: carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
CAPILLARIES: Tiny blood vessels where the blood gives nutrients and oxygen to the cells in our body and also picks up waste products and carbon dioxide.
BLOOD is made up of: PLASMA,RED CELLS, WHITE CELLS AND PLATELETS.
PLASMA It is a watery liquid that carries nutrients and also red cells, white cells and platelets.
RED CELLS They carry oxygen.
WHITE CELLS They fight infection.
PLATELETS They help the blood to clot and for scabs.
See you in class.

Hi kids!
Today in class we have learned how to use There is and There are.
REMEMBER! There is is for SINGULAR (one object, one animal, one person....) and There are is for PLURAL (more than one person, object, animal....).
AFIRMATIVE NEGATIVE INTERROGATIVE
There is There is not (isn't) Is there_______ ?
There are There are not (aren't) Are there ____________?
Now, let's practice a little bit more.
Please, complete this activity and send it to me (maiteescruz@yahoo.es)
Hi everyone!
We have just started the second unit of Natural and Social Sciences.
Here, you can find the presentations of the units and a letter to your parents including the main vocabulary and the contents we are going to learn in this units.
PRESENTATION UNIT 2 NATURAL SCIENCES (OUR SYSTEMS)
OUR SYSTEMS LETTER TO PARENTS.
PRESENTATION UNIT 2 SOCIAL SCIENCES (ATMOSPHERE, WEATHER AND CLIMATE).
ATMOSPHERE, WEATER AND CLLIMATE LETTER TO PARENTS.
I hope you find this information useful.
See you in class.
