6.6 UNIT 1 – Chapter 6
Observing plants and animals • One way of encouraging a child is to get closer to nature is to create opportunities in which he has direct contact with nature.
• Outings throughout the year, in order to follow and observe the plants and animals in their natural surroundings, are a good idea. This allows the child to observe the sequence of seasonal events and to develop the feeling that these events are constantly repeated.
• The world of nature can be introduced into the school by growing plants and taking care of animals there.
• A vegetable patch is very stimulating for the children, as they are able to see and eat the crop. • Discuss the names of the seasons with the children, starting with autumn. • Take them to a natural area where the signs of the effects of the season are best seen. • Having a bird-bath and plenty of flowering and berry-producing trees in the garden attracts birds.
• The children can then observe what different types of birds visit in the various seasons. • They can also look up in books on birds and identify them. They can learn their names and habits, what they eat and where they nest in the different seasons.
Observing small creatures At the beginning of the school year, when the children learn to identify the objects in the classroom, the cages, the terrariums and the aquariums (where fish are kept) have no animals or fish present.
