A ROBOT ;VIDEO CONFERENCE WITH THE CZECH REPUBLIC

On 17th January, we had a video conference with the Czech school.. They showed us how to make a simple robot out of  cardboard, wooden skewers and drinking straws. It was really challenging and we learnt a lot by following their lesson plan. 

AN ELECTRIC CIRCUIT AND A CRAFT

We used the bases of an electric circuit to create a craft about Basque Mythology to take  to our visit to Finland as a present.

We drew some mythological characters and wrote down their descriptions on the front part of a piece of wood. At the back, we used some cables to join the character with its description. We wrapped them around a blinder.

We made a circuit with a battery and a bulb. The aim of the game was to guess the character by reading its description. Whenever the answer was correct, the bulb lit.

MAKING A MODEL CAR

 We wanted to make a model car that moves using some elastic bands.. The idea was great and it was really challenging. The problem is that none of us manage to make his/ her car move!!! After analyzing every piece , we got to the conclusion that it was the wire between the plastic lids that prevented the car moving. it wasn´t straight enough .Anyway, for those who want to try, You can see the youtube video we used  in the lesson plan.

MAKING A FILM

Tzortzina- an ERASMUS student at the UPV ( Beasque University)  has been coming to our school to work on a film with 5th and 6th Primary students. They have learnt a lot about the history of the cinema; different shots and tips to use the camera; who is who in a film´s crew how to build up a story and how to write a scrypt... The result is a fantasy  short film that pupils produced with great enthusiasm and excitement. You can get the lesson plan here
