Spiders

Do not be surprised, but we found spiders.
We decided to look for them because of the song

"Incy Wincy Spider" (press to watch and listen)

Incy Wincy Spider
climed up the water spout
Down came the rain
And washed poor Incy out

Out came the sunshine
and dried up all the rain
and Incy Wincy Spider
climbed up the spout again

Once we had learnt the song, we left the school in search of spiders.

We came back to finish our work

A snail

We can learn body parts looking at a snail.

It's got one head and one foot but two horns. It lives in a shell.

Body parts

Pupils are taught names of body parts during their English lessons.
They usually point at their own heads, noses, eyes, ears.
We sing this rap song, as well:

Touch your head, touch your nose.
Touch your tummy, touch your toes.
Left hand, right hand, clap, clap, clap.
Left foot, right foot, tap, tap, tap.

These are squirrel body parts.



The squirrel has:
a small head, a small nose, a big tummy, long legs and a fluffy tail.

Tree names dictionary

It is amazing that many names are so much easy to be learnt.

Umbrellas

One day in handicraft lesson we made umbrellas. As you can see in pictures we need colorful leaves, sticks, thread and rowanberries.

Mushrooms!

There are some mushrooms in our school garden.

I’m a little mushroom

(Sung to: I’m a little teapot )

I’m a little mushroom
short and stout
here is my cap
here is my stem.

Now it is Autumn
look around
under a tree
you can find me !

Tree names

Terje has created a file for plants (see the project TwinSpace). We might prepare tree names dictionary according to this chart.

Trees

Pupils from the Pērse Primary School in Latvia created very unique trees.

The trees had been painted and then natural materials have been glued. All in beautiful frames.

Tree trunk rubbing

There are tall trees growing in front of our school in Jaźwina.

To see how the tree trunk looks like, the second grade pupils went out to check it.

Pupils had lists of paper and a colouring pencils with them.

Here are some of the results. It is easy to notice, they are not smooth.

There are lots of colourful maple leaves around our school. We collected them and made crowns. Now we all are kings and queens of maple!

Meie koolimaja ümber on väga palju värvilisi vahtralehti. Korjasime neid ja meisterdasime endale kroonid. Nüüd oleme vahtrapuu kuningad ja kuningannad!
