Report

ESSARP Science Fair - 1st year

Hello everyone!

On Tuesday 12th August, the ESSARP Science Fair 2014 will take place and we are going to participate.

What is ESSARP?

ESSARP means The English Speaking Scholastic Association of the River Plate. And our school is an affilated school of ESSARP.


What proyect are we going to present?

Title: Reusing materials to reduce our footprint

Introduction: The students at Orange Day School have been working on an ecological and solidary project that involves making toys and school objects with reused materials to donate.

Purpose of the work: The objective of this work is to design and make toys and school objects with reused materials in order to reduce our ecological footprint. The production of the toys is also included as part of a solidary activity as this objects will be donated.

What is 1st year going to do in this proyect?

Third and second year have been working on this proyect and have make very nice toys and musical instruments for kids.
You (1st year) are going to prepare two different elements next Wednesday. One group will make the pencil case with the bottle (as mine). Another group will prepare a survey with questions that will be asked during the fair (about reusing materials and the ecological footprint)

Why should you go?

You should go because:
- you will be able to see what other schools have been working on
- you will be able to learn very interesting things about science
- you will have you first contact with a science fair
- you will represent your course and school.

For more reasons, ask students in 2nd and 3rd year.

Who is going?

Unfortunatly, not everyone can go. We have to choose 4 people from 1st year. You are going to choose the people who is going through your vote. Each one will name 4 people and the 4 people with more votes will be pre-selected. Pre-selected canditates will be considered by Vanesa and me to go, taking into account their behavior, language skills and marks.

To choose, you shoul considere:
a- that  the students chosen will represent you, tjhe course and the schoo
b- that the students chosen will have to comunicate in English

Where to vote?

Here.
IMPORTANT: You have to vote today. Otherwise, your vote won´t be taken into account.

Doubts?

Leave a comment or send and email

Science Fair - 2nd year

Hello everyone!

Here you have the form to choose three people to represent you in the Science Fair.

Remember:
1) To choose, you should consider:
a- who has been there before and who hasn´t
b- that the students choosen will represent you, the course and the school
c- that the students choosen will explain the proyect in English

2) Vanesa and I will have the final decision on who is going to the fair.

Noche de observación: MARTE, SATURNO y LA LUNA!

Hola, chicos!

En estos días, se podrá observar a los luceros (Marte y Saturno) "cerquita" de la Luna.

Les dejo la información del Observatorio Astronómico de Córdoba y de la página web Sur Astronómico.

Hoy la noche está nublada, pero cuentenme si alguno lo pudo o puede ver en estos días.

Observatorio Astronómico de Córdoba (OAC)

Noche de observación: MARTE, SATURNO y LA LUNA!

Luego de la puesta del Sol, si el tiempo nos acompaña, hoy domingo podremos observar a la Luna, Saturno y Marte recorriendo juntos el cielo nocturno .

La Luna se situará a 6.2º de Marte y a 6º de Saturno, casi alineada entre ambos planetas.

(No me deja copiar la imagen, pero recomiendo que entren a este link)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

La Luna, Spica, Marte y Saturno

Durante los primeros días de Agosto y mientras la Luna crece en fase, pasará por las cercanías de la estrella Spica y los planetas Marte y Saturno.

• 2/08 - Con una fase del 40% la Luna estará localizada a 4.5º de Spica y 6.7º de Marte (magnitud +0.4)
• 3/08 - Luna en fase creciente (50%), localizada a 6.2º de Marte y 6º de Saturno, casi alineada entre ambos planetas.
• 04/08 - Llegando a una fase del 60%, la Luna estará ubicada a 7º de Saturno.

Hola, chicos!

¿Cómo van las vacaciones?
Espero que muy bien.

Preparando unas cosas para empezar las clases, me acorde que con 2do no pudimos usar el juego Kokori en clase. Igual, están todos invitados a usarlo.
Les dejo el link por si alguno lo quiere bajar y jugar. (Si solo es para jugar, baje en juego. Pero también tienen la opción de bajar el navegador para investigar un poco la célula)

World Environment Day - 5th June

According to the UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme) webpage, the "(...) World Environment Day (WED) is the United Nations’ principal vehicle for encouraging worldwide awareness and action for the environment (...)".

Following this concept, this year the 3rd year students are designing toys, which will be made with recycled and reused materials. This activity will be done as part of an solidary institutional project, which will involve grades from the primary too.

They´ve been working in this activity for two weeks and they´ve had some great ideas, such as a dancing doll, a story book with audio and puppets.

Here is a webpage where you can find more ideas.

Hope we see the toys made very soon!


Ps: We are part of the activities for this WED and here you can check our activity mentioned.
