07+-+UNIT+DEVELOPMENT

**REAL ANIMALS COME INTO OUR CLASS This dog is Berta, she is an English Cocker Spaniel, so she is very used to speak in English. When she came into our class we learnt about the colour of her hair, the name of the different parts of their body, the number of legs, ears, eyes, and tail that she had got... and many other things. We had the visit of Norit a little lamb who came from Zamarramala to our school just to show us how difficult is the life with just 5 days!! They were really happy... let's see... DEAR ZOO** This page is just for showing the development of my unit. I have started using the pop-up book "Dear zoo" just to motivate my students to the new unit. We have spoken about the different animal patterns, and after that we have made it using temperas and continuous paper. It was an easy activity and children were very motivated.

.

During one week, we were doing a Flap Book about "Dear Zoo" using colours, sticks and punchers. It took lots of time, because my students are a little bit young and they get tired very early. So it took 3 days: one for reading the story again and coloring the animals, another day for coloring the flaps, the third day for punching the flaps, and the last day to make the book and write their names on the cover of the book.

Sometimes, the Zoo has some problems with the animals, because they go out and leave their cages. We have played with our BIG HANDS to catch the lost animals and we put them into their cages.

**WHERE IS SPOT?**

Sally, is looking for Spot because he has to have his diner. But his son is apparently missing. Where is Spot? This is Spot, a little dog who is missing. Let's look for him!.





**WALKING THROUGH THE JUNGLE** With this book, we are going to drill in the interest about animal sounds. The purpose of this activity is just to develop their ability to remember which sound belongs to each animal. COMING SOON!

.......................................And my own version I have used this hand-made book just to make easier to remember the name of the different animals, using it as a guessing book. They have become almost crazy when they guess the animal just using a gesture as a clue. When the picture of a crocodile appears they shout for joy. Hooray!!
