Energy is special. There's lots of it about and it's very useful. Why? What makes energy so important? Here's just a few reasons.
it lets me swim fast and catch my fish
it gets you out of bed in the morning
it means that birds can fly, tigers can roar, wind can blow
it makes the sun, the moon and stars shine
it makes plants grow — food (= stored plant energy) for animals
it makes cars move, factories produce things, light bulbs glow, planes fly and your computer work. I'll bet you can think of many more!
Without energy, there would be nothing: no life, no movement, no light, no heat, no you, no me… nothing.
But there is a problem with energy. Some people have got used to using far too much of it. This means that there's not enough for everyone. And using some kinds of energy causes terrible pollution and makes the Earth's climate get hotter.
This flipped homework is to categorize forms of energy. Are you ready for the challenge?
Instructions:
Watch both videos, use your form of energy worksheet ( PYP notebook) to take notes. Remember, make it fun and easy to read. Messy and illegible handwriting makes it difficult to study and review when needed.
Spring festival is a time for students to celebrate their achievements, let their imagination loose and have fun. Spring is the perfect season to throw a class' gathering, honoring them and nature. It is a gleeful way to enjoy our Unit 4 closure and the warming weather, the loveliness of flowers and trees re-emerging after a winter's sleep. Even if Recife seasons do not show a drastic change, it is important for students to acknowledge it. Our Spring gathering will be held Friday 23rd . Students should come dressed as the character they selected. I will send a list with the names and individual responsibilities. It is a special date for them.I encourage you all to motivate our children at home and observe nature with them. Enhance their week with a picnic outdoors, a walk on the beach or taking care of plants/flowers at home. Happy nature week! Spring is coming.

Songs of

Count On Me
If f you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea,
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you
can't see,
I'll be the light to guide you
Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like one, two, three
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like
Four, three, two
And you'll be there
Cause that's what friends are supposed to do,
If you're tossing and you're turning
and you just can't fall asleep
I'll sing a song beside you
And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Everyday I will remind you
Oh
Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like one, two, three
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like
Four, three, two
And you'll be there
Cause that's what friends are supposed to do,
Oh yeah
You'll always have my shoulder when you cry
I'll never let go, never say good-bye
You know you can count on me like one, two, three
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like
Four, three, two
And you'll be there
Cause that's what friends are supposed to do,
Oh yeah
You can count on me cause I can count on you.
Dentro
de um abraço:
O melhor lugar no mundo É dentro de um abraço Pro mais velho ou pro mais novo Pra alguém apaixonado, alguém medroso
O melhor lugar no mundo É dentro de um abraço Pro solitário ou pro carente, é Dentro de uma abraço é sempre quente
Tudo que a gente sofre Num abraço se dissolve Tudo que se espera ou sonha Num abraço a gente encontra
No silencio que se faz O amor diz compromisso Baby, baby dentro de um abraço Tudo mais já está dito
O melhor lugar no mundo, é aqui É dentro de um abraço
Por aqui não mais se ouve o tic tac dos relógios E se faltar a luz fica tudo ainda melhor O rosto contra o peito, dois corpos em um amasso Dois corações batendo juntos em descompasso
Tudo que a gente sofre Num abraço se dissolve Tudo que se espera ou sonha Num abraço a gente encontra
Na chegada ou na partida Manhã de sol ou noite fria Na tristeza ou na alegria
Tudo que a gente sofre (Na chegada ou na partida) Num abraço se dissolve (Manhã de sol ou noite fria) Tudo que se espera ou sonha (Na tristeza ou na alegria) Num abraço se encontra
