Taste sense

Discovering our taste sense

Today we studied how the tongue helps us to taste all kinds of food. But we also had plenty of fun, trying to discover the food we were eating. In this link, you can watch the video about the tongue at home.


Now, your task for September holidays: Put a piece of onion under your nose and eat a piece of apple at the same time... what do you taste? Leave your comments here!

Let's listen!

The hearing sense

Last week, we talked a lot about the hearing sense and we watched this video, where we could see everything we read in the booklet.

Did you imagine our ears we so important?

Remedial work 

As you already know, the students that I mentioned this afternoon have to answer the following questions to get a higher mark in the term test.

So, answer the following questions:
1. What are the sensory organs? Provide the definition and mention the five sensory organs.
2. What is the iris? And why is it important?
3. What is the epidermis? Explain.
4. Which substance gives colour to our skin?
5. Why is the subcutaneos layer impotant for us? 
6. Draw the skin and label its parts.

Many of these questions were part of the term test, so they are very easy! Come on!
Don't forget to hand the answers in on Tuesday, 2nd September.

The sight

Our eyes do a great job!

         

Today we learned how our eyes work so that our brains can process everything we can see around us. And we watched this video. Enjoy it again!

Your ideas for the future Northfield School

Last Tuesday, you all managed to expose excellent ideas for our future new school. Let's hope they are taken into account!

Fantastic activity! Thanks for your commitment!!!

Great plans for a new school

We want to be eco-friendly!

As part of our new project, today we gathered in groups to start thinking about alternatives that can make of our future new building an innovative, eco-friendly school. 

Next week, we'll present our suggestions and maybe the new school could be built taking some of our alternatives into account. I'm sure it will be a great experience!

Good luck!

Getting ready for the World Cup

Hello everyone! Remember that we're getting ready for the next Football World Cup. And so, we're studying about the countries which will take part in the competition. Remember that, as we are not having a term test, you have to hand in your assignment about one of the countries on Tuesday.

I'm sure you'll get a very good mark!

Good luck!

Remember that... the World Cup is waiting for us!

Geography, meridians, parallels, elements of a map... All those things and a lot more are some of the concepts we've been dealing with during these weeks. 

If you click here, you can have a bit of fun investigating the latitude and longitude of all the countries around the world.
