A VISIT TO SEUTON PARK

The Leopards tell me they are learning lots of things about forests. Near Aberdeen there are not many forests, but farmlands. Last weekend I visited Seaton Park, a park in Aberdeen, with lots of trees, so it looks like a forest. Have a look!

I'M IN ABERDEEN, SCOTLAND

dimecres, 16 de març del 2011

Hi, everyone!
Marta told me you have received a postcard, so you all know where I am.
I'm in Aberdeen, a city in the north east coast of Scotland. It's near the North Sea and between the river Dee and the river Don.
It has got two universities: I'm studying at Aberdeen University, which is the oldest one.
It has got some nice parks and lots of shopping centres. It's a nice city, but I prefer Barcelona.
Talk to you soon!

A VISIT TO ALEHOUSEWELLS SCHOOL

dijous, 3 de març del 2011

Hello, everyone!

Today I visited a school. It's a primary school: all classes are together, there are not real walls! They wear a uniform (red sweater and grey or black trousers or skirts). They start at 9, finish at 12.15, have an hour for lunch, start at 1.15 again and finish at 3.15. Some of them eat food from the school and others bring their packed lunch (you'll see some pictures of their lunch boxes).

In some classrooms, two different years work together: years 1 and 2, 2 and 3, 3 and 4. Isn't it strange? They work a lot and behave really well (they are very autonomous).

Look at the pictures: there are no children because I was not allowed to take pictures of them.

EYE AND NOSE CONNECTION

dimecres, 2 de març del 2011

Hey, Explorers, look what I found in an eye-clinic webpage !


The eye is connected to the nose like this:




Then, the nose is connected to the mouth; so, everything is connected!

Now, we know something more about how our body works, don't we?

NOSE AND MOUTH CONNECTED

Wow, your hypothesis are great!!! You have thought a lot! I'm very happy you worked so hard! No problem you wrote in Catalan, I know it's difficult!

I'm still studying it, but I found this in Wikipedia:

Can you see? The nose and the mouth are connected, you were right!!!

Try this: put something in your mouth, chew it and taste it. Then, pinch your nose with two fingers, put something in your mouth, chew it and taste it. Is there any difference?

Mmmh, now I have to find out if there's a connection between the eyes and the nose and the mouth.

You're great scientists. Well done!
