Hi friends!
On this post I’m going to talk about a project I did with 3 and 4 years old
students.
As part of
the AMCO routine, before starting the books, is ESSENTIAL let them know the
puppets (pets) of each class. For the 3 years old class the pet is KELLY
KANGAROO and she is from AUSTRALIA; FLASH THE FOX is BRITISH and is the 4 years
pet.
I spent 3
days introducing the pets and discovering each country (or at least the most
famous aspects) let’s get started, pick your luggage and come with us!!
I
introduced both pets using a bit of “magic”. They were inside boxes and we have
to knock in the box and count to ten to open it; once they did it, the pets
came out bouncing and running so happy to see the kids.
Starting
with Kelly, we talked about Australia, the typical animals we can find there
like Kangaroos, Koalas, Sharks, snakes or Emus. Also we saw some pictures of
the most famous places like the Opera of Sydney or the Uluru rocks.
Finally we
colored Kelly and take our drawings home to show our families who Kelly
Kangaroo was.
Here you
can find some pictures of the kids coloring Kelly very enthusiastic!
As part of
knowing Australia we sang and danced a song of the “native Australian Animals!
"here is a Sneak peek"!
4 years Old
student’s pet is Flash Fox, a British fox so nice and friendly who showed us
part of his culture like famous people as The Beatles, Queen Elisabeth II,
Harry Potter, the Beefeaters, and Sherlock Holmes. Also we had the chance to “travel”
throw the UK with the help of a video where flash showed us The Big Ben, the
typical Red payphones, The Red busses, Stonehenge, the monster of lake Ness and
the Tower Bridge .
Here I post some videos of them discovering
the UK!
To finish
the post I upload a video of the giveaway of the kid’s material, in a really “British
way” just like Sherlock Holmes!! Thank you very much for reading, hope you like
it and enjoy as much as we did, Kind rewards
