Entrevista con Stacey...AN INTERVIEW WITH STACEY

Hoy los alumnos de sexto han podido practicar su inglés con Stacey, consiguiendo acercarse a un inglés más real. Stacey es una amiga rapera escocesa, más concretamente de la ciudad de Glasgow. La actividad consistió en hacer de entrevistadores y ella de entrevistada. La charla fue en directo. Fue una sesión súper agradable.
Quiero agradecer tanto a los estudiantes de sexto por el buen comportamiento que tuvieron, como a Stacey, por habernos podido dedicar su tiempo, estando ella siempre tan atareada.

Parts of a plant:



Vídeo sobre las partes de la planta!!


Video sobre la Photosynthesis

Otro video sobre la photosynthesis



Canción sobre lo que estamos dando




Remember:
  • Plants are multicellular living things that cannot move around, but make their own food. They have roots and stem and leaves. Most plants live on land.
  • Plants can have flowers or no flowers.

A brief summary:
  • Plants get nutrients like carbon dioxide from the air and sunlight through their leaves and get water and mineral salts from the soil  through their roots.
  • Xylem Sap is water and mineral salts mixed together. Xylem Vessels  take Xylem Sap through the plant up to its leaves.
  • Sunlight makes Xylem Sap become Phloem Sap when it reaches the leaves. This is called Photosynthesis. Plants release oxygen during this process
  • Phloem Vessels take Phloem Sap throughout the plant so that it gets all food it needs
