HAPPY CHRISTMAS

It's CHRISTMAS time. All the streets are decorated. We meet our families on CHRISTMAS EVE for dinner. In Britain and Ireland families meet on CHRISTMAS DAY.They eat ROAST TURKEY with GRAVY and CHRISTMAS PUDDING for dessert. Children sing CAROLS. SANTA CLAUS leaves the presents under the CHRISTMAS TREE. It's BOXING DAY on the 26th of December. Then on NEW YEAR'S EVE people sing the song AULD LANG SYNE when the new year come.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS by JOHN LENNON

HAPPY CHRISTMAS (WAR IS OVER) by John Lennon 

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
A new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas (War is Over, if you want it, war is over now)repeat with verse
For weak and for strong
The rich and the poor ones
The road is so long
So happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight

SCIENCE: UNIT 3: HUMAN REPRODUCTION

Activity for Sergio and his friends at 4th Grade Primary.

• The male reproductive system produces spermatozoa. It is formed by the testes, which are inside the scrotum, and the penis, a long organ over the scrotum.
• The female reproductive system produces ova and protects the baby while it develops. It is formed by the ovaries (produce ova), the uterus (where the baby lives), the Fallopian tubes (connect the ovaries with the uterus), the vagina and the vulva formed by the labia.
• Fertilsation is when a spermatozoon and an ovum join together to create a zygote.
• Pregnancy is when the embryo develops inside its mother's uterus. It lasts nine months and ends when the baby is born. The embryo becomes a foetus. The foetus receives food and oxygen from its mother through the placenta. This is connected to the foetus' tummy through the umbilical cord.
• Birth is the process when the foetus comes out of the mother's body. After the birth the doctor cuts the umbilical cord. This is why we have a tummy button.
