MORE ANIMALS

The animal world is an interesting topic for children. Our students have already known the name of a lot of them. In English we are reviewing this theme, because we studied animals in the Science subject in the second term. Anyway, in English we are going to study them in detail, since children must learn how to describe animals.

For that reason, this week we reinforced some adjectives, like: BIG/SMALL and we introduced SHORT/TALL, as well as, we reviewed TAIL and NECK. We played “Who am I?”, where students had to guess the animal they were. It was really funny!

The animals to learn are the following ones: ELEPHANT, GIRAFFE, MONKEY, SNAKE, FROG, MOUSE, PARROT and CROCODILE.

After that, each one described a different animal.

------------------------------

El mundo animal es un tema interesante para los niños. Nuestros chic@s ya conocen el nombre de muchos de ellos. En la asignatura de inglés, estamos repasándolos, puesto que ya estudiamos los animales en el segundo trimestre en Ciencias de la Naturaleza. Igualmente, en Inglés vamos a profundizar el tema, ya que los niñ@s deben aprender como describir animales.

Por eso, esta semana recordamos algunos adjetivos, como: GRANDE/PEQUEÑO e introducimos BAJO/ALTO, así como repasamos COLA y CUELLO. Jugamos a “¿Quién soy?”, donde los niñ@s tenían que adivinar el animal que eran. ¡Fue muy divertido!

Los animales a aprender son: ELEFANTE, JIRAFA, MONO, SERPIENTE, RANA, RATÓN, LORO y COCODRILO.

Después, cada uno describió un animal distinto.
