Group and date taught	4th grade .14 th and 16 th February.(science ) .16th February (art)
What did you do?	The book I use is Natural Science 4 Primary. Richmond . Santillana My project consist of including these activities learnt in the CLIL course I the lessons. Lesson 1: : How can identify  the different parts of the plan?.         Bingo : Parts of the  plant.         Wall- crawl:  Amazings things about living things. Lesson 2 : Why plants are essential to our life?      .Work in pairs : To learn how plants breathe and make their food. Lesson 3 : Make a  poster  using  leaves to  create   different   countrysides.
What went well	Bingo : The students write in their notebooks six  parts of the plant.  I say the meaning of the words, for example :The part of the plant that absorbs water (root)…,they have to cross out the different words . The first that cross out all the words win the game. It is a great  way to practice listening and  memory.
Reflection for future practice
What needed improvement/changes and why	I have to give them easier texts  on wall-crawl. Because it is very difficult for them to look for information in this type of texts.
What would you change considering level,  age or other factors	I would give them shorter texts.
