Timetable: Subjects, days of the week and the time.

 Hi everyone,

Year 4 are learning to create a digital timetable using an offline "writer document".

Then they need to know their school subjetcs and they can also add after-school activities they do.

It's really important for students to manage their time and to organises their skills which need a lot of practise and support from adults.

Students love this activity, but they must take into account some tips for writing school timetables.

These are some of them:

Use CAPITAL LETTERS for the days of the week.

Use CAPITAL LETTERS for languages (e.g. French).

Use CAPITAL LETTERS for abbreviations (e.g ICT).





















It's also important to know how the English  language works to talk about routines.

We use phrases with prepositions.

We use AT for the time and ON for the days of the week.

Then we say: 

We have English at eleven o'clock on Mondays.

 Hello everyone,

There are three main types of rock and all the land is made of the them: metamorphic, igneous and sedimentary.

Did you know that Romans used as projectiles an igneous rock called "andesita", which they brought from Carthage Nova, during the destruction of Ákra Leuké at the end of the 3rd centrury BC, coinciding with the final stages of the Second Punic War between Rome and Carthago.

The devastion of Akrá Leuké is dated to the same time as the campaign of Publios Cornelius Scipio against Quart Hadsht.

 Hello everyone:

Do you like dancing? If you are good at dancing, you should try "Passinho dance".

This ance comes from the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. This style is recognised as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Brazil.

This style of dance brought dancers together in one place where they showcased their choreography. Passinho, which combines elements of break, frevo, samba and capoeira, was created in the 2000s and has now been officially recognised as an intangible cultural heritage of the state.

The project was initiated by Brazilian official Veronica Lima, who highlighted its importance, arguing that this recognition will help raise awareness of this important cultural movement and contribute to the decriminalisation of funk and other artistic expressions performed by young people from the peripheral areas. This is reported by Brasil 247, a partner of TV BRICS.

It is important to note that passinho originated in dances where performers would gather and show off their choreography, which fostered competition between them and the spread of this dance in the different communities of Rio de Janeiro.
