This week we brought the normally invisible microscopic \u00a0world to life at Alquer\u00eda and this was no exception in the English department.<\/p>\n

We began our odyssey by learning basic vocabulary related to cells<\/span><\/strong> in English. Then, we learned how to talk about \u00a0the five types of microorganisms \u00a0in English (algae, fungi, bacteria, viruses and protozoa<\/span><\/strong>). \u00a0 With the help of a diagram, students named the parts of the microscope<\/span><\/strong> and realized how much of the world we can’t appreciate without it.<\/p>\n

Is microscopic life helpful<\/strong><\/span> or harmful<\/span> for humans and the world?<\/span> \u00a0We addressed this question learning the names of\u00a0both \u00abbad\u00bb microorganisms and the symptoms they cause in humans (such as sore throats, ear aches, athlete’s food, colds, and parasites<\/strong>)<\/span>\u00a0 and \u00abgood\u00bb microorganisms that help us (such as phytoplankton making oxygen, algae making blue cheese delicious, penicillin curing our illnesses, and wonderful yogurt.<\/span><\/strong>)<\/p>\n

To help us really assimilate all this information, we played different games and did different activities to review. \u00a0One of the most popular games was \u00abspreading the virus\u00bb by shaking hands or giving high fives with glitter!<\/p>\n

In Year 5 and Year 6, we also discussed the GERM THEORY<\/span><\/strong> and learned about the first scientists who proposed the existence of microorganisms, and pointed to them as the cause of disease in the world.<\/p>\n

To that end, we learned about famous microbiologists as Year 6 prepared \u00abautobiographies\u00bb for the visit to our \u00abLiving Museum\u00bb on Thursday. \u00a0All the students in primary were able to listen to living statues speak about their accomplishments in the field of microbiology.<\/p>\n

Have a lovely, restful weekend after so much activity in this special week!<\/p>\n

Esta semana le dimos vida al mundo microsc\u00f3pico que es normalmente invisible en Alquer\u00eda, y esto no fue la excepci\u00f3n en el departamento de ingl\u00e9s.<\/em><\/p>\n

Comenzamos nuestra odisea aprendiendo vocabulario b\u00e1sico relacionado con las c\u00e9lulas en ingl\u00e9s. Luego, aprendimos a nombrar los cinco tipos de microorganismos en ingl\u00e9s (algas, hongos, bacterias, virus y protozoos). Usando un diagrama, los estudiantes nombraron las partes del microscopio d\u00e1ndose cuenta de todos los microorganismos que no se podr\u00eda apreciar si no lo tuvi\u00e9ramos.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00bfLa vida microsc\u00f3pica es \u00fatil o da\u00f1ina para los humanos y el mundo? Abordamos esta pregunta aprendiendo los nombres de los microorganismos \u00abmalos\u00bb y los s\u00edntomas que causan en los humanos (como dolor de garganta, dolor de o\u00eddo, pie de atleta, resfriados y par\u00e1sitos) y los microorganismos \u00abbuenos\u00bb que nos ayudan (como la producci\u00f3n de fitoplancton, ox\u00edgeno, algas que hacen delicioso el queso azul, penicilina que cura nuestras enfermedades y maravilloso yogur).<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0Para ayudarnos a asimilar realmente toda esta informaci\u00f3n, jugamos diferentes juegos realizando\u00a0 diferentes actividades para repasar. \u00a1Uno de los juegos m\u00e1s populares fue \u00abpropagar el virus\u00bb dando la mano o chocando con purpurina!<\/em><\/p>\n

En Year 5 y Year 6, tambi\u00e9n vimos videos sobre la TEOR\u00cdA DE LOS GERMENES y aprendimos informaci\u00f3n de los primeros cient\u00edficos que propusieron la existencia de microorganismos y los se\u00f1alaron como la causa de la enfermedad en el mundo.<\/em><\/p>\n

Y por \u00faltimo en sexto, aprendimos sobre microbi\u00f3logos famosos para preparar \u00abautobiograf\u00edas\u00bb para la visita a nuestro \u00abMuseo Vivo\u00bb el jueves. Todos los alumnos y alumnas\u00a0de primaria pudieron \u201cescuchar\u201d a las estatuas vivientes hablar sobre sus logros en el campo de la microbiolog\u00eda.<\/em><\/p>\n
