We want to know how animals are born.

Oviparous: animals are born from an egg.

Viviparous; animals are born from their mother's body.

Animals are living things so they need to eat food. We classify animals into three groups: herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores.

• Herbivores: herbivores eat plants. They eat different parts of plants such as leaves, roots, and fruit. Herbivores have special teeth to help them cut and chew plants. Deer, cows, and rabbits are herbivores.

• Carnivores: carnivores eat other animals. They hunt and eat meat. They have sharp teeth and excellent eyesight. Foxes, eagles, and lions are carnivores.

• Omnivores: omnivores eat plants and other animals. bears and chimpanzees are omnivores.

We started another week online by not being able to safely access our school. The snow continues to accompany us.

Making an animal part of the family seems to be something only humans do. The question is, why? What do we like about animals?

Puppy, by Jeff Koons. This amazing dog is made of flowers and it is located on the grounds of the Guggenheim Museum (Bilbao)

On Friday I got this beautiful piece of art by David, and I believe this is a good opportunity to share, especially in this unit about animals.

We are delighted with Siena 's PowerPoint presentation. Read the sentences to review the contents of our unit "Animals" and then, make a very creative mind-map.

We have been learning how animals' bodies are covered, how they move, what their limbs are like...and for today we have this beautiful poem.

Jungle Rhyme 

Jungle Rhyme

Monkeys can jump and climb trees
Giraffes are tall and they eat leaves

                                                                            

Parrots are colorful and they can fly
Elephants can’t but would love to try.

Turtles are green and they can swim
Cheetahs can run and they always win

Zebras look like horses but they are black and white

Hippos are big and snore at night. 

Let's explore the jungle!

Animals are classified into different groups based on their characteristics. Invertebrates are animals that do not have a spine or backbone. Vertebrates, on the contrary,  have a backbone.

Vertebrates are classified into fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.

Now that we have a general idea let's go through English!

- Most birds can fly, and some can swim or run.

- They have two legs.

- They are warm-blooded, like mammals.

- They have ear holes instead of ears.

Mammals are one of kind of vertebrates. All mammals share some characteristics:

- Mammals have lungs and need air to breathe.

- Most mammals have fur or hair covering their body.

- Mammals are warm-blooded, their body temperature is the same whether it is cold or hot.

- Mammals give birth to live young.

- Mammal mothers nurse their young with milk.

Fish are one kind of vertebrates. They share some characteristics:

- Fish breathe underwater using gills, not lungs.

- Fish live in the water.

- Fish have scales covering their body and fins to move.

- Fish lay eggs, lots of them.

- Fish are cold-blooded.

Spring is a very good time for baby animals to be born!

And now let's sing the song we have on our lesson.

Dear Zoo  is the book we have being reading. It's  about a letter to the zoo from a child who wants a pet. They send various different animals, all of which prove unsuitable for one reason or another the elephant is too big, the lion too fierce, the giraffe too tall, the monkey too naughty. Finally, the zoo send a puppy: "He was perfect! I kept him." 

In our class, we love butterflies! From Lucy's  presentation "Symetry" we had a very good understanding on this idea and, good fun drawing on the whiteboard.This animal is a good inspiration for addings more colour into our class. 

Have fun drawing butterflies!!!

Today we celebrate Father's Day and also it's the day for our student José so. our best wishes for all of you.

While watching the video, can you write down the name of the different animals you can see?

How many did you get? 

I know how busy you must be on this Father's Day but just in case you wish to review some ideas for the coming exam I upload this for you.

And some games! 

And a song!!! 

Currently, we are working on the animal's unit. This video teach us how important is attitude to avoid conflicts wherever ( home, playground, classroom...)

Let's enjoy this virtual visit to the jungle. The weather is so nice that a visit to the zoo would be a great family activity for this unit.
