LIVING THINGS

Yr.1 children have been learning a lot about living things.

We planted some beans, lentils and sunflower seeds and observed their parts and the way they grow.

We did some group work and presentations about animals. We feel really proud of them!!! Now  we are able to classify animals according to what they eat, the way they are born, the way they move and some other features!!

Some children took their pets to the class, so we were able to see a turtle and a hamster. Besides, Ismael visited us twice: the first time he made an animal prints workshop for us.
The second one, he came with Natalia and they showed us some reptiles and amphibian. We touched the skin of toads which was smooth and moist and we saw a toad's eye using a magnifying glass. We also saw some newts and a little mouse. The most exciting part came when he picked the snake and allowed us to touch it.

Everyday, we observe and take care  of our class pets, the STICK BUGS! Maru came to the class and made a presentation about these insects. We learned a lot and we were able to pick them!!! It was great fun!!! Maru and Rafa bring us food for the insects weekly and take care of then on holiday!!!


Thanks a lot to all of you that make such experiences possible in the class!! :)
