> ART DICTATION Let’s draw an elephant! Make a big circle. Make a tail. Make four legs. Make a small circle for the face. Make two big ears. Make a trunk. Make two eyes. (When you finish tell your students to give their elephant a name!)
Teaching tip: Looking for elephant colouring pages? Simply type “elephant + template” into Google.

> OPTICAL ILLUSIONS Can our eyes play trick on us? Did you know that … …. pictures, written words and other things we see (as opposed to what we hear, smell, taste or feel) account for 2/3 of the information we store in our brains? But sometimes what we think we see may not in fact be real. Here is one way to show your kids how our eyes play tricks on us.
The sense of sight: experimenting with optical illusions Task: Find the hidden tiger ( a tip: “read between the lines”)

> A SONG
ELEPHANT RHYME The elephant is
His ears are
big and strong.
large, his trunk is long.
He walks around with
heavy steps,
Two tusks, one tail and four
thick legs.

> FEELY BOX EXPERIMENT Imagine you were touching different parts of an elephant. What does it feel like? What does it make you think of? Use the words bellow to help you.
Body big, wide
Tusk smooth, hard, sharp
Trunk long, thin, wiggly
Leg thick, hard, round
Ear thin, it moves
Tail long, thin, strong
Do a “Feely Box” experiment with your students. If you don’t have a box, use a simple bag. Here are some of the ideas for the things to put in the box: A piece of paper A piece of rope A pencil An orange Cotton, etc.

Now, add more animals (mammals) in your feature chart and then use the chart to compare their characteristics. You can make a big feature chart and display it on the classroom wall.

> PROJECT WORK: fact sheets Tell your students to find more about a mammal of their choice and use the information to make a fact sheet. A fact sheet should consist of: > A PHOTO (or a drawing) of the animal > INFO SHEET: a few most important (or most interesting) information > LANGUAGE POINT: a language structure a student finds important Stick fact sheets on a piece of cardboard paper and create a Fact Sheet Library in your classroom for all to read. Example: ELEPHANT FACT SHEET
MY INFO SHEET: • Elephants are the largest land mammals. • Their trunk is an elongated nose. • The trunks are used for gathering food, drinking, smelling and fighting. MY LANGUAGE POINT: Large – larger – the largest FACT SHEET AUTHOR: Juan
