Weekly links, 6th grade - "This is Houston" and "Matter"

Good Afternoon!

After this exciting day, having a good time in the bowling, I'm going to summarize the most important things of the week.

English

In the English class, we have started unit 7, entitled: "This is Houston", in which our friends, Phoebe, Alex and Patrick, travel in time until 1969, in the very exact moment in which the Astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin land on the moon. We have also talked about electronic music, and we have watch several videos.

The first one is  a wonderful Spanish example of Techno Pop in the 80's with the song "Laika" by Mecano. The song is obviously in Spanish, but the style and the topic of the song, with the story of Laika, as the first astronaut, is enough to do an exception.

Next, we have a video with pictures and English subtitles of the first landing on the moon of the Eagle Lunar Module, in 1969.

We have also watched this interesting video about the daily life of astronauts in a space ship.

Finally we have watched this video of David Bowie singing "Space Oddity".

Natural and Social Sciences

During these classes, most of you have finished the mural about matter, and next week we'll present the next units of the two subjects. I will put here pictures of all your murals in the next post.

Arts & Crafts

This week, most of you have brought the compass and the rulers, and you have been able to complete the first exercises, drawing a hexagon and a six-pointed star. I will also put some pictures next week.

And this is all. 

See you next Monday!
