NATURAL: CONTOUR LINES

 

Contour lines are the curved lines you see on topographic maps.
Each contour line connects points that have the same height (elevation) above sea level.

What do they show?

They help us understand the shape of the land, including mountains, hills, and valleys, even though the map is flat.

How to read them:

• If contour lines are very close together, the slope is steep.

• If the lines are far apart, the land is flat or gently sloped.

• Lines that form closed loops usually show hills or mountains.

• 
  
  The higher the contour line number, the higher the elevation.

En español, a las contour lines se les llama líneas de nivel.

¿Qué son?
Son líneas que aparecen en los mapas (sobre todo en los mapas físicos o mapas del relieve) y sirven para mostrar la altura del terreno.
Cada línea une puntos que están a la misma altitud sobre el nivel del mar.

Para entenderlo fácil :

• Si ves las líneas muy juntas, significa que el terreno es muy inclinado / montaña.

• Si las líneas están separadas, significa que el terreno es más llano.

• Cuanto más arriba está la línea, más alta es la zona del mapa.

IDIOM 6

 🪨 Idiom of the Week: “Solid as a rock”

💬 Meaning in English:

When someone or something is “solid as a rock,” it means they are very strong, stable, and reliable. Just like a real rock doesn’t move or break easily, a person who is “solid as a rock” can be trusted and stays calm in difficult situations.

🇪🇸 Significado en español:

Cuando decimos que alguien es “fuerte como una roca,” queremos decir que es una persona firme, estable y en la que se puede confiar. También se usa para hablar de algo muy resistente.

💡 Example sentence:

> My best friend is solid as a rock — she always helps me when I’m in trouble.

(Mi mejor amiga es fuerte como una roca — siempre me ayuda cuando tengo un problema.)

ARTS: TESSELATION

Have you ever seen a pattern that looks like it goes on forever? That’s called a tessellation! 🧩

A tessellation happens when shapes fit together perfectly, with no gaps or overlaps — just like puzzle pieces.

In this activity, you’ll create your own 3D tessellation by coloring one of the two designs from the sheet I gave you. Each design is made of repeated shapes (triangles or diamonds). If you use three tones of the same color — light, medium, and dark — your flat drawing will look 3D!

🧩 What We’ll Learn

• What a tessellation is
• How to create a 3D illusion using color and tones
• How artists use math and geometry in art

🎨 Teselaciones en 3D

¿Has visto alguna vez un dibujo que parece no terminar nunca? ¡Eso es una teselación! 🧩

Una teselación ocurre cuando las formas encajan perfectamente, sin huecos ni superposiciones — como las piezas de un puzle.

En esta actividad, vas a crear tu propia teselación en 3D coloreando una de las dos plantillas que te he dado. Cada diseño está formado por formas repetidas (triángulos o rombos). Si usas tres tonos del mismo color — claro, medio y oscuro — tu dibujo plano parecerá salirse del papel.

🧩 Lo que vamos a aprender

• Qué es una teselación
• Cómo crear una ilusión 3D usando el color
• Cómo algunos artistas usan las matemáticas y la geometría en su arte

 Our Art Challenge / Nuestro reto artístico

1. Pick / Escoge one tessellation design.
2. Pick / Escoge one color and use three tones (light, medium, dark) / un color y tres tonos (claro, medio, oscuro).
3. Color carefully to create the 3D effect.
4. Write your name and class / Escribe tu nombre y curso.
5. be ready to be in our Art Wall of Fame 🖼️✨ / Prepárate para estar en nuestro Muro de la Fama del Arte 🖼️✨

IDIOM 2: A PIECE OF CAKE

 THIS WEEK IDIOM IS: 

A PIECE OF CAKE

👉 Meaning: Something very easy to do.

SENTENCE: MAKING A DICTATION WITH MARTA IS A PIECE OF CAKE FOR ME.

👉Another example: “The English test was a piece of cake.”

EXPERIMENT TIME

Today we started a new section in our Science lessons: Experiments with the Scientific Method.
Our first experiment was about the importance of washing our hands before eating.

We used a plate filledwith water and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper (representing the germs) and a drop of dish soap. When we touched the water without soap, the pepper stayed on our finger. But when we touched it with soap, the pepper moved away very quickly.

This simple activity helped us see how soap protects us from germs and keeps us healthy.

Hoy hemos comenzado una nueva sección en nuestras clases de Ciencias: Experimentos con el método científico.
Nuestro primer experimento trató sobre la importancia de lavarse las manos antes de comer.

Usamos un plato con agua y 1/4 de cucharadita de pimienta (que representaba los gérmenes) y una gota de jabón. Cuando tocamos el agua sin jabón, la pimienta se quedó pegada al dedo. Pero cuando lo hicimos con jabón, la pimienta se movió muy rápido.

Con esta sencilla actividad hemos comprobado cómo el jabón nos protege de los gérmenes y nos ayuda a mantenernos sanos.

IDIOM 1: BREAK THE ICE

                                   📚✨ Idioms Monday in 4th Grade ✨📚

Today we start a new section in class: Idioms Monday.

Every Monday we will learn a typical expression from English culture.

                                                    👩‍🏫 What is an idiom?

An idiom is a special expression in English. The words say one thing, but the meaning is different.

👉 Example in Spanish: “Estar en las nubes” doesn’t mean you are really flying—it means you are distracted.

                                          📌 Why are idioms important?

Because native speakers use them all the time. Learning idioms makes our English sound more natural and fun.

📝 Instructions:

1. On a white piece of paper, write the idiom.

2. Write its meaning in Spanish.

3. Draw a picture of the idiom. The picture can be literal (ice breaking) or show the real meaning (people starting to talk).

4. Write one sentence using it.

📅 You have from Monday to next Monday to finish it.

✅ Example sentence:

“The teacher told a joke to break the ice on the first day of school.”
