We love animals

We love animals!

During these weeks in our English classes, Primary 1 students have been learning about farm animals and wild animals!Through songs, games, drawings and riddles, children are discovering new vocabulary and useful verbs while having fun and speaking English. Some of the speaking activities we’ve been doing are:

We practised descriptive sentences to identify animals by their habitat, appearance, and abilities:

  • This animal lives in the jungle.
  • It is big and brown.
  • It can swim.
  • It likes bananas.

These short sentences help children use verbs such as to be, to have, can, to live, to eat, etc. Students described and drew their favourite animals and did an oral little presentation in front of their classmates saying for example…

This is a lion. The lion is brown and big. Lions live in the jungle. Lions can roar and run.

We also played with some riddles and guessed the animals that matches the descriptions. For example:

“I’m grey and have a long trunk. Who am I?”
“I can jump and I like bananas. Who am I?”

Here you have some of our favourite animal songs:

 

 

Learning about animals helps us to understand the importance of loving our planet Earth and all the living creatures on it. Also, using English in real contexts and interested topics for kids make the learning a fun process and build confidence in them.

Thanks and see you all on Monday! Have a beautiful weekend!
