We opened for the third term in the beginning of this month and we hit the ground running and haven’t stopped. I can’t believe we are entering the fourth week of the term already, time is going by far too fast. The children have been very busy studying animals and all the different things about them. We have investigated the anatomy of an animal, the different habitats, who created all the animals, what animals need to survive, how water animals are different from land animals, and we even went on an animals hunt looking for evidence of the animals that live around us here in Mukamba. Al four classes are enthralled in this study and have enjoyed every minute of it…here are some of their words and research:
Teacher: Where do animals live?
Pensive: In the bush.
Venture: Some animals live in the house.
Ember: Some live in a hole.
Choolwe: They live in the trees and in the soil.
Teacher: What do animals eat?
Sanford: Grass.
Perfect: Nshima.
Kain: Meat.
Buumba: This is a crocodile and he lives in the water.
Benny: A lion lives in the bush with some water.
Trinida: The bird lives on the flowers.
Goodson: The chameleon lives in the tree and this bird looks like it lives near the water.
Oripa: I have a giraffe and he is inside a house (cage).
Ovius: Look, dog prints.
Kelvin: And some dog poop.
Frederick: Cows poop.
Orient: It looks like this cow is heading that way, toward home.
Lydia: Bird foot prints.
Frederick: I have found cows urine.
Sonya: I have found chicken poop.
Loson: And goat foot prints over here.
