Sun, lights and shadows

Hello, everybody!
        how are you? I'm fine.
It's autumn now and it's getting colder, the sun is lower in the sky.

With the help of your teacher or your parents, play with shadows:

Now click and see how shadows change during the day (click on the arrows on the right to change the time, then drag and drop the ruler on the shadow). When you've finished, click on Next and do the quiz:

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,

Clare the Witch

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!!
