TE DESEO UNA NAVIDAD LLENA DE PAZ, ALEGRÍA Y CARIÑO.
FELIZ AÑO 2026.
CON TODO MI CARIÑO. UN FUERTE ABRAZO
Folded card base (one sheet of cardstock folded in half). Example sizes: A4 folded to A5, or 8.5"×11" folded to 5.5"×8.5".
Green cardstock in several shades (light, medium, dark)
Yellow cardstock (for the star)
Brown cardstock (for the trunk)
Scissors or craft knife and cutting mat
Glue stick or liquid craft glue
Pencil and ruler
Optional: bone folder, tweezers, pencil eraser
Measurements (suggested)
Squares: about 4.5 cm (1¾ in) per side (you can use 4–6 cm depending on card size)
Star: about 4 cm (1½ in) across
Trunk: about 3 cm × 4.5 cm (1¼ in × 1¾ in)
Prepare the card base.
Fold your background cardstock in half to make the card. Decide whether the tree will be centered on the front.
Cut the green squares.
Using your ruler and pencil, draw and cut the squares from the different green shades. For a 5-row triangle layout use 15 squares total (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5). If you want more layers, cut more squares accordingly.
Cut the star and trunk.
Cut a small star from yellow cardstock and a small rectangle from brown cardstock for the trunk.
Plan the layout on the card (dry run).
Before gluing, place the squares on the card to form a tree shape: one square at the top, then a row of two below it, then three, etc., forming a centered triangle. Rotate each square 45° so the square looks like a diamond (as in the picture). Overlap them slightly so the bottom point of a top diamond tucks under the top point of the diamond below.
Mark a faint center line (optional).
Lightly draw a vertical center line with pencil on the card to help keep rows centered and straight.
Glue from top to bottom.
Start with the top square. Put a small amount of glue on the back center of each square (not necessarily on the whole surface) and press it into place so it overlaps the squares below. Work row by row downward. This keeps the overlaps neat and prevents shifting. Use tweezers for small precise placement if you like.
Make consistent overlaps.
Aim for an even overlap (e.g., 0.5–1 cm) between squares so the tree looks textured and layered. Keep the diamonds aligned so the tree sides slope evenly.
Attach the trunk and star.
Glue the brown rectangle centered under the bottom row as the trunk. Glue the yellow star on top of the topmost square.
Let dry and erase pencil marks.
Allow glue to dry fully. Gently erase any visible pencil lines.
Add finishing touches (optional).
Write a greeting inside (e.g., “Merry Christmas!”).
Add small paper circles or sequins as ornaments if desired.
If you want a cleaner professional finish, trim any squares that stick outside the card edge.
Do a dry layout first so you can change colors/placement before gluing.
Use a bone folder to press squares flat for a clean look.
Supervise children when using scissors or craft knives.
If using liquid glue, use small amounts to avoid warping the cardstock.
UNIT 2 : “WE PROTECT ANIMALS”
In this unit we have studied differente aspects of animals. The most important contents are the followings:
- Vital processes: nutrition, sensitivity and reproduction.
- Classification of animals according to their way of feeding: herbivoros, carnivores and omnivores.
- Types of animals according to their reproduction: oviparous and viviparous.
- Difference between vertebrate and invertebrate animals.
Tema 2: "Protegemos a los animales".
En este tema hemos estudiado distintos aspectos de los animales, siendo los contenidos más importantes los siguientes:
- Procesos vitales: nutrición,
sensibilidad y reproducción.
- Clasificación de los animales
según su forma de alimentación: herbívoros, carnívoros y omnívoros.
- Tipos de animales según su reproducción: ovíparos y vivíparos.
- Diferencia entre animales
vertebrados e invertebrados. Características de los grupos fundamentales de
vertebrados y de los invertebrados.
Una vez terminado el tema 1, os pongo a continuación la fecha del test junto con los aspectos más importantes del mismo.
On pages 6 and 7, we begin the unit analyzing how we can improve our healthy habits. We make a list of healthy habits.
We can see a girl climbing. We speak about benefits that practising sports produce. Climbing is physical exercise, which is a healtthy habit.
After that we do the next worksheet:
Podemos ver una chica escalando. Hablamos sobre los beneficios que producen practicar deportes. Escalar es ejercicio físico, que es un habito saludable.
Page 8.
We speak about the three life processes in order to survive: nutrition, reproduction and sensitivity.
Hablamos acerca de las tras funciones vitales/proceso vitales para sobrevivir: nutrición, reproducción y sensibilidad.
