The water cycle

Hi, everybody!
      I'm sure your teacher told you the story of a drop of water and its journey to the sky and back to the earth.
Click on Drippy the Raindrop to see a video of his story:

      If you click on the next picture, you can download it and print it. You can then stick the picture to a sheet of construction paper and cover it with a plastic film: you have now a nice mat you can bring at school and put on your desk!

      Now watch another video on the water cycle:

     And another American video:

 
Do you know the story of Incy Wincy Spider, who is climbing up the spout when PRECIPITATION (rain!) starts??? He falls down, but then the sun shines again and there is EVAPORATION, so he climbs up again!

 

      I'm working on a paper spout and spider at the moment... I'll let you know when I'm ready...

Bye,

Welcome!

Hello, everybody and a special welcome to my new pupils!

       This year I'm teaching English, science, art and ICT (Information and Computer Technology) to eight-years-old children, the 3rd year in Primary School in my Country.

      So, I really hope you had nice holidays. I did: I flew to the North Pole and to the Equator to find ingredients for my MAGIC POTIONS!

Have a nice school year,

Clare - the Witch

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!

Hi, everybody!

         I wish you all fantastic holidays!  I know for some of you holidays are not so near..., but here in Italy schools closed on 10th June!!!

         At the moment I'm cleaning my broomstick, getting ready to fly off!
I don't know if you'll find new posts in the blog during summer: the pupils I had this year finished Primary School (SNIF SNIF!!) and I still don't know which class I'll teach in September...  
But of course you can still go to all old posts and play!


         So, have a really nice holiday and don't forget to put on suntan cream!

        This is my friend Winnie the Witch: we're going on holiday together! (click on her picture to go to her site)
        Bye bye!!

Jack and the Beanstalk

Hi, everyone!

     How are you? Do you like the story I told you at school, "Jack and the Beanstalk"?

If you do, have a look at the following pictures and read the words (if the pictures are too small and you can't see them, click on the picture and download the file JackVoc):

 Now you can watch this video:

 

Listen also to this version of the story, but I warn you: it's much more difficult to understand!

     I really hope you enjoyed the story! Now, go plant your magic beans in the garden!
