Good morning, everybody!

How are you? You are at home, but you aren´t on holidays! This is the way I´m going to send you the activities and resources you have to do during these days. Let´s start!

ENGLISH

1. Send me an e-mail to angel.lahoz@educa.madrid.org . Tell me:

           - What did you do yesterday?

           - What do you like about staying at home?

           - What do you miss about the school?

Don´t forget to:

           - Write about all the points.

           - Begin the e-mail with the greeting.

           - Use appropriate expressions to close the e-mail.

Write a comment: which expressions do you know for starting and finishing an e-mail? 

It must have around 80 words.

I promise to drop you some lines!

2. Read a book in Travelers.

SCIENCE

We are studying ecosystems.

You know that an ecosystem consists of all the organisms living in one place, as well as the physical environment they live in, and the interrelationships among the living things and the environment. 

Each group has already studied how the climate influences the life in an ecosystem. Now, it´s time to study the particular fauna and flora that you can find in the ecosystem you are studying.

Fauna refers to all the animals, and flora includes all its plants. A rich ecosystem has highly diverse fauna and flora. 

This is what you have to do. 

TASK 1: Create a presentation (power point or similar) showing some of the most significant species of fauna and flora that you can find in your ecosystem.

YOU MUST INCLUDE:

- Name, picture and a short description of each living thing.

- Animals from the different groups of vertebrates and invertebrates (if possible).

- Some of the most representative plants of that ecosystem. 

- Any other living things that aren´t plants or animals.

DEADLINE: Monday, 16th March 2020. Send it to angel.lahoz@educa.madrid.org

TASK 2: Create a model of your ecosystem with materials you can find at home (recycled materials, clay, ...)

I will value that:

- It imitates the landscape of your ecosystem. 

- It includes different species of animals and plants.

- It is beautiful and it has many details. 

DEADLINE: Monday, 16th March 2020. Send some photos to angel.lahoz@educa.madrid.org

These are the ecosystems you are working on:

1. SPANISH MEDITERRANEAN FOREST: Isaac, Emma, Claudia, Santiago.
2. SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK: Jairo, Gabriel J., Pablo, Alicia C.
3. ATACAMA DESERT: Javier, Cristian, Claudio, Andrea.
4. AMAZON RAINFOREST: Ana, Sigrid, Alicia L., Ayni.
5. GREAT BARRIER REEF: Julia, Bruno, Mentxu, Lola.
6. EASTER DECIDUOUS FOREST: Alejandro, Vadim, Gabriel R., Raúl. 

You can ask me any questions to my e-mail or write a comment. Enjoy it!
