ILLNESSES IN 5TH GRADE

Hello Everybody!!!
Don't be afraid because of the title. We just wanted to catch your attention about the work of students from 5º grade for two weeks: illnesses.
They have learnt about what infetious diseases are, how they can be spread and how some advances in medicine can prevent us from being infected.
Firstly they studied the topic in class with the teacher´s help.
Later, they searched for information and investigated some ítems on the web.
Finally they performed and developed in class their project work.
Clicking on the picture bellow, you can check out some of their achievements!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ARIZONA

Happy New Year Pilas!

After being in Spain since September 2017, I finally went home to visit my family. My father turned 82 years old during the holidays, and my brother, his wife and my three nieces came to visit. Two of my nieces are twins and they never talk, they’re very shy. Hiniesta, a teacher here at Colegio Virgen del Rocío, gave me a big piece of amazing cheese to give to my father, he loved it. We also made paella (my Valencian friend was horrified when I told her what I put in it) and ate jamón, olives and boquerones. 

Click here and you will be able to watch a video of my family in the house I grew up in.

On the other hand, on January 8th when I left Phoenix, Arizona for New York and later Sevilla, a young student named Hanna from Croatia was sitting next to me. She had created this video of her experience in Arizona. As a visitor, she saw my home state differently than I do.

Making Sense of Sugar hidden in food

To help, inform and educate children about sugar and the role it can play as part of an unhealthy diet. Our aim is to provide real information about our feeding, so that children can all make informed choices about what they choose to consume.

6º Primary Children looked for how much sugar are in our favorite drinks or food... They also looked information about drugs and consequences.
The results were quite shocking!  Remember: think before you drink or eat!

We thought it would be interesting to share his results here, and it might give some tips for anyone wanting to conduct a similar science project on sugar or drugs.

6º primary children are becoming aware of the just how much sugar is in everyday foods and drinks thanks to our science proyect.

It is fun to do and children love investigating hidden sugar. They were amazed  when they discovered  how many  sugar have products that they eat day a day . It’s a hot topic and that is fabulous that kids want to get on board.
