ZOO MANNERS

Be careful what

You say or do

When you visi t the animals

At the Zoo.

Don't make fun

Of the Camel's hump –

He's very proud Of his noble bump.

Don't laugh too much

At the Chimpanzee –

He thinks he's as wise

As you or me.

And the Penguins

Strutting around the lake

Can understand

Remarks you make.

Treat them as well

As they do you,

And you'll always be welcome

At the Zoo.

Eileen Mathias

UNIT 5

This Unit is about sensitising children to creatures in nature. Spend time in talking about experiences at a zoo and about the pictures in this Unit. Ask children, how can we be friends to animals? In what ways are zoo animals our friends? Read more stories on animals to them.

Develop listening skills

Read the text.

Let the children close their eyes, hear and identify the following sounds as you or some children make them -

• Roar like a lion
• Bark like a dog
• Neigh like a horse
• Moo like a cow
• Quack like a duck
• Chirp like a sparrow

Then ask them to open their eyes and ask them to roar like a _____ .

Let the children say which animal it is. Add other sounds.

Develop pronunciation

Say aloud with children words like –

Exposure to language

Let the sight words be the names of animals/ insects that the children have seen. These can be hung on the trees/ walls in the school campus.

Develop speaking skills

Have a 'group recitation' between the class groups. Appreciate their efforts. Do not force children who are not ready for speaking.

Read Funny Bunny. Let children tell what might have happened if the animals had stopped to look around them. Look at the sign of To the fort Help children with making more signs for directions to the house, park etc.

Reading stories aloud, repeated reading, choral reading, story telling and re-writing activities can be encouraged.

Develop writing skills

• To look, imagine and write a few sentences on questions from the text is now expected, but keep a check tag and see whether the children are able to hold the pencil with a firm grip, and ensure they are able to enjoy writing.
• A class chart where everyone comes and writes her/his name under their group (Red, Yellow, Blue, Green) is a wonderful opportunity to see them enjoy writing time.
• Make children construct meaningful sentences of opposites, so as to make the meaning clear.

Getting ready to follow instructions

• Teach words of greeting like namaskar/adab and other words that mean 'hello'.
• Have the children take turns pretending they are saying 'hello' to something in the classroom. Let the other children guess what the child is saying hello to.

• Encourage the children to make a story in their own words by looking at the picture story.
• Take the children to visit a zoo. Talk about not hurting or teasing the animals. Make a class collage.
