Learning about Animals

In preschool this month our students are learning about animals.
They will learn about several different groups of animals including, pets, wild animals, farm animals and animals that live in the ocean too.
One favourite amongst the students is when we learn about wild animals.
In English class we learn the names of new animals, play with the animal toys and also learn animal songs and rhymes.
Here we include and animal rhyme with movements to practice at practice at home.

African Animals

Giraffes are tall with necks so long
( Arms stretched above head, tiptoe )
Elephants’ trunks are big and strong
( Bend forward, arms down, hands together, swaying )
Zebras have stripes and can gallop away
( Gallop )
While monkeys in the trees do sway
( Move from “tree” to “tree”, with swaying movements)
Old crocodile swims in the pool so deep
( Lie on ground and swim )
Or lies in the sun and goes to sleep
( Sleep)
