What is a witch?

This Kids Wiki has everything you need to know about witches. 
Like how do know a witch is really a witch and not just a nice kid in a witch costume dressed up for Halloween trick-or-treating? 
Watch and learn all about witches and witchcraft, like how witches have green skin, pointy hats, and long crooked noses with warts on top. You can also be pretty sure that a witch is really a witch if they're mixing up potions in a cauldron, casting spells, or riding around on broomsticks .

Hoorey for 1st graders!

Hi everybody!
As you know, each school year children from CI choose their classroom names. We have already known that 2nd graders are robots and stars and today I want to introduce all of you 1st graders' names. 
They are chinchillas and football players.
For that reason, I want to share with all of you these two videos. 
The first one is about how a chinchilla takes a dust bath. 
It's cute and lovely!

The second one take a look of ten famous footballers before they were popular. 
It's curious and fun.

Why do leaves change color in Autumn?

Every Autumn in all the forests of the world, there is a miraculous change in the color of the leaves. They turn from green into brilliant shades of yellow, orange, red, and gold. Sometimes you can see several shades on the same leaf. But why are these color changes happening, and what is going on in the plant?
Read this explanation and you will understand!
Plants make their own food. They take water from the ground through their roots. They take a gas called carbon dioxide from the air. They turn water and carbon dioxide into food using sunlight and something called chlorophyll. This one is green. It gives leaves their green color.

Winter days are short and dry. Many plants stop making food in Autumn. Then, the chlorophyll goes away. Then we can see different colours as orange, yellow, red, gold and also brown. When they are brown, it comes from wastes left in the leaves.
Watch the video!

How many words can you make?

How are you Today? 
I'm very satisfied with some attitudes in the school: you try to speak English not only in the classroom, also in the playground and when we meet in the corridors. 
That's fantastic. Congratulations to you all!
By the way, it's Thursday and we are working hard in the English Lessons.
What about to play a little bit with words? 
Click on the picture below and try to make words in three minutes.
You have to use the sixteen letters you will find in the grid.
Good luck and enjoy with English!

ABC for CM

Hi you all!
CM graders are very enthusiastic with the alphabet. We introduce an animal and a quality in each English lesson: angry ant, busy bee, cute cat, dizzy duck, elegant elephant, funny frog, good goose... and we will continue next days. In that way, when we finish all the ABC, we would have learnt new vocabulary. At the same time, they guess that the quality goes before the name.
It's fantastic and children are very motivated.
For that reason here you have a song from Chuchu TV.
Enjoy it!
