Los niños y niñas deben saber en inglés los días de la semana, los meses del año, las estaciones del año y el vocabulario de la unidad (relacionado con el universo).
También deben manejar conceptos como que el sol es una estrella y la Tierra un planeta, que a la Tierra le lleva un año dar una vuelta al sol y un día dar una vuelta sobre sí misma, momentos del día (morning, afternoon, evening, night), en qué se diferencia. Las estrellas de los planetas, etc. Todo está en el libro. En clase hemos hecho también una manualidad (fotos abajo del todo).
Una canción que les gusta mucho a los niños es el rap del sol, en el que el propio sol nos cuenta Más sobre él mismo: https://youtu.be/t-kzdR93bqw
La letra es la siguiente:
According to my calculations, we are now approaching the Sun.
It's getting pretty hot in here.
I'm so hot, I'm so hot
Check me out, check me out, I'm hot
Check me out, check me out, I'm hot
Yo, Everyone, I'm the Sun
I'm made of gas like Hydrogen and Helium
I keep the Earth warm and help to grow food
I shine down on the beach on guys who say "Dude"
I set into the West and on comes night
And then I rise from the East with that golden light
I'm so hot - so hot - so hot and bright
28 million degrees -

And then I rise from the East with that golden light
I'm so hot - so hot - so hot and bright
28 million degrees -
NEPTUNE AND SATURN: Fahrenheit!
I make plants grow, like trees and flowers
so powerful, got that solar power
make the desert dry, make the oceans rise
Don't stare right at me I can hurt your eyes!
I'm just about a million miles wide
I'm so big, you could fit a million Earths inside
I'm the center of the solar system, can't ya see
Got so much gravity, planets orbit me!
I'm 4 and a half Billion Years Old
In Spanish, everybody calls me Sol
When I'm not around you'll be feeling cold
Yeah, I shine so bright with my rays of gold
so powerful, got that solar power
make the desert dry, make the oceans rise
Don't stare right at me I can hurt your eyes!
I'm just about a million miles wide

NEPTUNE: So hot!
I'm so hot!
SATURN: So hot!:
Ow! He's right. He's really hot!
SUN
Come on Storybots, show me what you got
How hot am I?
Come on Storybots, show me what you got
How hot am I?

The Sun is so hot I have to wear these.
(He puts on sunglasses)
Now I'm cool.
(He puts on sunglasses)
Now I'm cool.
So cool.
