Junior 6 - J66 - Asa Sul - Teacher Domingos - Wind Vane

Junior 6 students learned how to make a wind vane in order to identify the directions the wind is blowing: north northeast, northwest, south, southeast, southwest.

 

Junior 6 - Class J66 - Asa Sul - Teacher Domingos - Spring Time

In order to celebrate Spring, the students participated in an activity promoted by the Resource Center. They prepared the soil, put it into a seed tray, planted 3 beans each, and sprayed some water for the beans to grow well. They've predicted that, in two weeks, we can see the first sprouts. Every class, we'll water the beans before we start a new lesson. Great job!

One week later ... Unbelievable! The beans have turned into sprouts and into two leaves each.

Two weeks later ...

Junior 6 - Class J66 - Asa Sul - Teacher Domingos - Our World

Isn't it amazing to see how diverse the geographical features of the Earth are? The students identified different places from magazines, cut them out, and pasted them to a poster, comparing their differences. Have a look!

Junior 6 - Class J66 - Asa Sul - Teacher Domingos - Starry Night

After reading the story "Goanna and the Moon", an indigenous Australian tale on the origin of the moon, the students were inspired by the artwork of Vincent Van Gogh "Starry Night" to create their own pieces, using gouache paint, brush, and, guess what? Forks! The forks gave the idea of movement to the paintings. Check it out. 

Class J66 - Asa Sul - Teacher Domingos - Egyptian Pyramids

During the Unit about Egypt, the students learned a lot of and had a journey into the past. We talked about the hieroglyphics, the Nile river, the temples, the pharaohs, the paintings, the papyrus, and, of course, the pyramids. Here you can see the projects about pyramids the students created, using different materials: Lego blocks, straw, and modeling clay. The one with popsicle sticks didn't work very well, for they had to use hot glue. They saw the real pyramids from above and from the street view on Google Maps to have a clear idea about how to build them.

Class J66 - Asa Sul - Teacher Domingos - Writing about Egypt

After reading and talking about life in Ancient Egypt, the students made a 3D pyramid and chose 3 sentences that reflected how the Ancient Egyptians lived. They also decorated their pyramids with hieroglyphics.

Junior 6 - Class J66 - Asa Sul - Teacher Domingos - Osmo Activities

On the first day of class, the students reviewed the language from Junior 5 by carrying out three different Osmo activities - Pizza / Coding Awbie / Tangram -  in a station format. It was awesome!
