23RD APRIL - ST GEORGE'S DAY

Today is St George’s Day. This is a special one for people in many different countries.

St. George’s Day is on 23 April. It is England’s national day. St. George is the patron saint of England. His emblem, a red cross on a white background, is the flag of England, and part of the British flag. By tradition, 23 April is the day for a red rose in the button hole, the national flower. 

There are two versions of the legend at this juncture: the first one involves people getting tired of no member of the royal family being sent and therefore decide that the princess should be sent to the Dragon; while the second version says that one day a princess was chosen by drawing lots to accompany the lamb. Anyway, on the way to the cave of the dragon, the princess found a gentleman or knight of the name George and he slew the dragon by stabbing his sword into it and rescued her. From the blood that flowed from the body of the monster was born a red rose which the gentleman handed to the princess.

 

The king offered the gentleman all the riches imaginable but he preferred that the riches be allocated to the inhabitants of the kingdom. In addition, a church was built in his name, from which flowed miraculous water that was able to heal the sick.

        

I have chosen three videos about the legend (there are many versions) from the Internet. We (my students and I) have watched two of them and they loved at all. Just click the pictures and enjoy as much as they have. Regards, Christopher. 

NATURAL SCIENCE - USING MATERIALS - VIDEOS

Hello again dear friends:

This post is about materials (plastic, wood, metal, glass, cotton, paper and leather). Students know the fact that objects are made of different materials and have different properties. This is the reason why I have chosen these videos. Remember, just click the pictures.

I hope you like them. Regards, Christopher.

CLOTHES - GAMES AND READING

Hello again:

Here you are some games (memory games, pictionaries, readings...) I have found while surfing the Internet. I recommend you to watch the videos I have uploaded before, because it is the best way you can put into practice your knowledge about this topic. 

I hope you like them. Regards, Christopher.

NATURAL SCIENCE - UNIT 6 - PLANTS

Dear students, families and friends:

We are studying the parts of the plants (they have got roots, a stem, leaves, flowers or fruits) in Natural Science. Here you are some interesting sentences we have learned about them:

Plants, animals and people are living things.
Plants need air, water, soil and sunlight.
They grow, feed, reproduce and die.
Plants have roots, a stem and leaves. Many plants have flowers and fruit.
Plants are very useful. Oxigen, food, wood and perfume come from plants.
First, the seed grows into a plant. Next, the plant feeds. It needs soil, water, air and sunlight. Then, the plant reproduces. A new plant grows. Finally, the plant dies.

And, of course, I have uploaded the PowerPoint I have done for my lessons and the video. Just click the pictures and a new tab will open.

Thanks for visiting the blog.

Regards, Christopher.
