Activities for the 4th of May
Morning!
How are you doing?
We start a new week, a new month and a new unit today! Are you ready to go for them?
​
A little summary of the previous units
In the previous units, we studied the Middle Ages which started with the fall of the Roman Empire. During these units we saw how Spain was invanded by the Visigoths and the Muslims. We learnt about their culture and how Spain was organised during their times.
After that, we studied how the Christians reconquered the territory and the kingdoms in which, Spain was divided.
Finally, we learnt that due to the marriage of the Catholic Monarchs, the Crown of Castile and the Crown of Aragon got unified. But, what happened next? Well, you will know very soon because it is explained in this unit called... SPAIN DURING THE MODERN PERIOD.
​
Let´s start unit 8
The first thing you need to know is that the Middle Ages ended with the reign of the Catholic Monarchs. It was by then when the Modern Ages started.
​
Tomorrow, we will start reading and studying the new topic but, I thought that it was important for you to review the previous units.
In order to let you know what we are going to study during this unit, I have prepared a timeline in which you can see some of the most importants events that happened during those years. I have divided it into three. These three parts correspond to the reigns of the three kings that we are seeing: the Catholic Monarchs, Charles I and Philip II.
​
TRANQUILOS, el timeline no lo tenéis que estudiar, sino que es para que tengáis una visión global del tema y sepáis el orden en el que sucedieron los diferentes acontecimientos. Si queréis lo podéis copiar en el cuaderno.

As you can see the design is more simple and classic with less details.

Good morning!
I hope you had a nice weekend and you enjoyed it with your families.
So, let´s start the week reviewing how Spain was divided during the Christian Kingdoms (15th century) before the Catholic Monarchs got married. As we studied last week, Spain was divided into five kingdoms but, would you be able to locate them on a map?
There is a map below in which you need to locate those five kingdoms. You have some help on page 72 of your books.
Don´t worry about the map. If you want to print it or draw it, it´s fine but if not, just write in your notebooks the letters and the kingdoms.

Actividades del día 17/03
We are starting unit 7 today. It´s called "The Middle Ages: The Christian Kingdoms".
Remember that we finished the last topic saying that Christians defeated the Muslims in the Battle of Tolosa and, after that, they conquered all of Al-Andalus , except the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada. So, let´s see what happened next. (Page 72; The Christian Kingdom)
_JPG.jpg)
I am gonna explain these paragraphs.
So, Christians (who were organised in kingdoms and counties) unified in four large kingdoms and they all fought against the Muslims. During this period of fighting, called Christian Reconquest, Christians took back the territory that was occuupied by the Muslims (look at the colours of the map).
Later on, in 1469, Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragón (Catholic Monarchs) got married. As a consequence of this marriage, Castile and Aragón became a unified kingdom.
They kept fighting against the Muslims and finally, in 1492, the Catholic Monarchs conquered Granada.
​
​
How was the Christian society organised?
_JPG.jpg)
I leave you below a video that explains what a feudal system is.
I also leave you a vocabulary list in which I explain some words that you will find through this didactic unit. You don´t need to study it, it´s just for you to understand better when you read the unit.
