Sensitivity and the Nervous System

The 5th grade class of CEIP San Miguel has been learning all about sensitivity and the nervous system in English. They have just given their presentations about the topics in English as well.

This has been a great opportunity for them to practice communicating and speaking English. In addition to learning all about the science behind how our senses work and respond, they have learned how to present about the topic and how it would be done in English. They learned many common phrases that we use when giving a presentation such as, 'We are going to explain...', 'The functions of this are...', and 'We hope you enjoyed our presentation.' 

The students have also greatly improved their general presentation skills. They have learned to face the audience instead of reading directly from their project and also to show or point to the parts of the poster that they are referring to when speaking. Some girls also thought of a very creative game in which the students had to place each sense with the correct description on a poster. 

Here you can see some examples of their posters: 

And here you can see the game pieces that the girls created. There is one for each of the five senses (sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch):
