Los alumnos de 6º hoy han tenido una sesión en inglés sobre la lengua de signos en general y sobre la lengua de signos británica (BSL) y americana (ASL) en particular.

También, en la sesión de Educación Física han podio experimentar lo que cuesta escribir o dibujar con limitación visual.

El próximo viernes 3 de diciembre, van a tener una sesión muy especial en la que podrán conocer detalles sobre la vida y la obra de un artista con parálisis cerebral: Manuel Aragón Cáceres "Manuelo" (1932-1995) y podrán realizar una obra siguiendo su técnica.

Asimismo, nos ha llegado esta convocatoria del Colegio Oficial de Arquitectos de Madrid (COAM), por si estáis interesados.

Before opening the books we try to remember some concepts from previous years:

What are the three basic functions? (Interaction, Nutrition, Reproduction)

How do living things organice? (cells, tissues, organs, systems, individuals, community..)

What systems are involved in Nutrition? (Digestive, Respiratory, Circulatory and Excretory)

We can also name different organs and classify them according to the system they belong to.

We think and do orally activity 1 page to revise vocabulary about feelings. We need to admit that there is not such thing as negative feelings. We need all our feelings and emotions and it is OK to feel them in certain occasions.

We can say that there are emotions that make us feel good and others that prevent us from feeling good.

A fundamental difference between feelings and emotions is that feelings are experienced consciously, while emotions manifest either consciously or subconsciously.

We can use these posters to classify them if we don't get many ideas

Next, we listen and read Nancy's blog and we point to the pictures that show each feeling being described.
