Good morning Year 6- We hope you had a restful weekend!
Let’s talk about something that isn’tCOVID19!
We thought we would start the morning with a «real life» activity for you. In our connected world of screens, phones and computers, we want to share a bit of news with you about old technology and what is happening to it!
Click the picture below to read an article about PAY PHONES IN NEW YORK CITY.Do you even know what pay phones are? Do you recognize the picture?
Read what is in the news about them, then challenge yourself in the next link to test how well you have understood the REAL news article.
Let us know if this exercise was easy or difficult for you by leaving a comment in the space below. Have you ever used a pay phone? Have you got a mobile phone? Let us know!
Good morning everyone! Congratulations on nearly completing your first week telecommuting or «working from home.»
Reminder: Please look at liveworksheets.com. We have renewed worksheets with a mark of 7 or lower, and we have added more worksheets, including weekly reviews! Stay motivated! Do a self test!
We are sure there have been unexpectedly wonderful parts of working from home and some complicated ones too. Since it is Friday, we wanted to leave you not with more homework, but with a link to practice a life skill that you may need more than ever in this new world order.
TYPING =MECANOGRAFÍA
We figure it is easier to work on a computer if you know how to write properly. Learning to type is fun, and it makes writing on a computer faster and more accurate.
So, here is a picture that shows you how to position your hands on the «home row.» This is the line of letters in the middle of a keyboard (teclado) where you keep your hands to type. If you click on the picture, you will go to a link IN SPANISH to help you learn the basics of typing.

Here is a video to help you:
After you learn the basics, we think you´ll have fun challenging yourselves with these typing GAMES. For those of you who play lots of video games, you might already have great finger control!

Start to play, and leave us a comment on the blog to let us know how your typing skills progress! Have fun!
Enjoy your weekend! Play, exercise and spend time with your family!
We´ll be back in touch on Monday and we look forward to reading your comments and messages!
In the midst of our confinement we can still celebrate a virtual holiday! Today, March 17th , in Ireland and where ever there are Irish populations, people get together to wear green, eat corn beef and cabbage and celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day! These videos explain the whys and hows of this green luck o’ the Irish celebration!

And now a traditional Irish anthem. (Aviso: coged pañuelos, que es una canción bastante melancólica.)
And now for something equally traditional, but a little happier!
And just in case you aren’t familiar with Irish Step Dancing, here is a small taste.
Enjoy this cultural moment. Happy Saint Patrick’s day and Luck o’ the Irish to you all!
