There are different TYPES of plants, depending on its type of stem:

New plants grow in this way:
   1. A seed falls on the ground.
   2. A tiny root and a tiny stem grow.
   3. The roots and the stem grow bigger.
   4. The first leaves start to grow.
   5. The tree is big and has flowers.
   6. The flowers die and the fruits grow.

Plants

- What is a plant?
- A plant is a living thing.

- What does a plant need to grow?
- A plant needs sunlight, air, water and nutrients from the soil to grow well.

- What is the job of the different parts of plants?
- Roots take up water and nutrients from the soil. They also keep the plant steady and upright in the soil.
The stem carries water and nutrients to different parts of the plant.
The leaves make food by using light from the sun, along with carbon dioxide from the air and water. This process is called photosynthesis.

Learn about Luke!

Three weeks ago we met our new language assistant, Luke, who has come all the way from South Africa!

Here is a message for you:

"Hey class,
It was really great meeting you all the other day and I look forward to working with you for the rest of the school year.
I'm Luke as I'm sure you all know by now and I'm from Durban, South Africa where I live with my family. We have a big garden, two cats and lots of wildlife. For me there is no place on Earth that compares to my home in South Africa. Hope you all enjoy the pictures I've shared. Luke"

Welcome, Luke, we are very happy to have you in our class!

More about Michael!

Hello Gummy Bears!

Here are some pictures and videos to get to know me and my homeland a little better.

This is a picture of me at the Grand Canyon. It is the largest canyon in the world. In some places it is nearly 2000m deep! Wow! For more information on the Grand Canyon, click here.

New Mexico has a very large Native American population. They have a really interesting culture. Some of the oldest cities in the United States are in New Mexico. The picture is of Taos Pueblo where Native Americans still live! The video is some of their traditional dances.

This is  the New Mexico state flag. Notice how it has the same colors as Spain's flag. It was actually part of Spain many many years ago. The sun in the middle is a Native American symbol called the Zia Symbol. It contains a lot of information for one tiny symbol.

I am from Albuquerque and it has the biggest hot air balloon festival in the world. It is called The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. Watch the video to see how awesome it is!

If you have any questions or want to know more, ask me in class!!

Michael

P.S. Here you can see Albuquerque on a world map. It is very far from Madrid!

Protect, don't infect!

We get ill when a part of our body is not functioning well. A high temperature, cough or pain are SYMPTOMS that we are ill.

Watch this movie about how you can be a PDI agent! Spread the word, not the germs!

 Remember:
- Wash your hands often.
- Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze.
- Stay home if you are ill.

In this way you will protect yourself and others from germs!
