RECURSOS A LA XARXA - PORTALS EDUCATIUS

The webpage for students of the Autonomous Community of Castilla y León is a good resource for exercising the knowledge acquired during regular class hours, for all the elementary school students.

This is a site with plenty of links and resources, which integrates all the subjects of school curriculum, except, of course, the Catalan language and literature, and which has a intelligent design. Therefore, it is as attractive to students as for primary teachers.

Among the many subjects of the page, we can find a link to the section of foreign language, which is the key subject of this blog. In this link, there are also various subjects such as Geography, with an activity called Castile and Leon, Spain and Europe, in which you can choose to review these territories and their different areas, in an interactive way, and in English.

There is also an activity related film knowledge. Its name is The hangman - Movies, and it is a game in which children have to guess the name of the movie, by cilcking on some letters, in order to save a character from eating a nasty dish.

To review the natural sciences, more specifically, the human body, there is an activity called The human body, in which students can do activities related to the skeleton, the male and female reproductive system, and the digestive, urinary and respiratory system.

Finally, there is an activity which reviews the parts of the body, with the help of a friendly alien, and in which one must match the names with the areas marked on the drawings.

All these activities must be made in English, and this represents a general overview of the terms in other subjects in this foreign language, which allows acquiring a more complex vocabulary.

We believe that this educational site is appropriate for the medium cycle of primary, because it involves a knowledge which is available to children of this level. In addition, the page includes drawings and graphics, which are very attractive to children, and also some simple activities that can be made either individually, as in a group.

For all the reasons above, we believe that the school use of this website can be very beneficial, not only to work English, but also to review the rest of the curriculum subjects, except Catalan.
