LThe teacher will help the children to make a collage about a forest on one of the murals of the classroom, by using different techniques: - Pictures cut up from magazines - Play Dough - Watercolours - Finger-paints - Pieces of clothes - Etc. Once the collage is finished the teacher summarises all the things that can be found in that particular forest and asks the children to imagine all of them are going for a walk through it. The teacher will talk to them while they are imagining: Remember that when we are in a forest or in the countryside we have to be very careful with all the things we do. We can't forget that we are only visiting and that in the forest a lot of animals and plants live. So we have to try not to bother them: we won't root out any plant or flower, we won't follow up any animal and of course, we won't step on them. We don't have to leave any rest of our lunch either. And if we want to take something as a keepsake we will only take things like stones or feathers or leaves we find on the ground When we go to the countryside or to the forest we must have a lot of things in mind: - Don't cause a scandal by shouting or by listening to very loud music (from the radio or cassettes). - Never go alone, because we can fall down and perhaps nobody is close to us to rescue or help us. - Don't move stones or introduce the hands into the trunks of the trees because some animals that live there could get scared and bite us. - Don't eat anything we find, even fruits, if we don't know them perfectly well, because they could be poisoned or harmful for our health. - We will always drink water from our canteen, because we don't know if the water we find in the forests is drinkable or not. - All of us must wear a hat to protect ourselves from the sun. P.S.: The proposals you can read in here are only suggestions we offer the teachers, but you can modify them and add some more. Anyway the children should be the ones who propose ideas about how people should behave when visiting different natural places. |
