Animals!

Many of the students of CEIP San Miguel are learning very interesting things about animals in English. Animals is a great unit for the childrens because there are so many fun activities we can do with the children. The students are almost done with this unit so it is time for them to review and demonstrate all the things they've learned.

During this unit, the students learned many different aspects about animals, such as the type of skin covering, how they move about, and how they reproduce. The main groups of vertebrates (animals with a spine), are mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. The students practiced speaking and listening by answering questions about each type of animal. I asked the pupils to tell me how the animals breathe, reproduce, move, and what type of skin covering they have (scales, feathers, bare skin, fur). Then, they wrote down the important infomation next to the animal in their notebooks.

This was a great way for the students to review animals and practice speaking and listening using relevant vocabulary to the lesson.

Here you can see an example of what the students wrote in their notebooks:
