John Lennon´s IMAGINE

Here´s a link to the video clip of John Lennon´s ambitious and utopian song, Imagine!

Think about the possibilities!

Here are the lyrics:

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Field trip to the 'Museo Tiflológico'

Hi kids! This week we are all going to visit the 'Museo Tiflológico' or the 'Museum for the blind or partially sighted' in english.

The Museo Tiflologico is among the most unconventional museums in Spain. It is the only museum in the country, and one of the few in the world, that is designed for the needs of the blind and visually handicapped people. It was established in 1992 and is now run by the Spanish National Organisation for the Blind. The museum is divided into three areas – scale models of monuments, a room with works of blind artists and a permanent exhibition room. All exhibits are created to be explored by touching and the visitors are facilitated by audiotapes in English and Spanish, as well as by pamphlets in large type and Braille.

Check their website to find out about all the great stuff they have there!

Células Componentes de la Sangre / Blood Cell Components

• Los glóbulos rojos, también denominados hematíes ó eritrocitos, son las células sanguíneas más numerosas, cuyo característico color rojo se debe a una proteína que se halla en su interior llamada hemoglobina, responsable de ligar el oxígeno para transportarlo desde los pulmones a todos los tejidos del organismo para que las células respiren.

• (Diámetro 6-8 micras)
  

• Los glóbulos blancos, o leucocitos, se encargan de proteger al organismo contra el ataque de bacterias, virus, hongos y parásitos. Cuando hay una infección aumentan su número para mejorar las defensas.

(Diámetros 6-8micras)

Los glóbulos blancos están constantemente atentos a cualquier signo de enfermedad. Cuando aparecen los gérmenes utilizan diferentes maneras para atacarlos; pro ejemplo produciendo anticuerpos protectores que inutilizan a los gérmenes; ó rodeando y devorando a la bacteria invasora.

• La plaqueta es el mas pequeño de los diferentes elementos celulares que circulan en la sangre.

Las plaquetas son fragmentos del citoplasma de una célula, el megacariocito.

Su función es la formación de coágulos para ayudar a cicatrizar las heridas.

Se producen en la médula ósea y viven entre 6 y 7 días
