Dear colleagues,
Welcome! In this issue you will find lots of ideas, photocopiable activities and
ready-to-use material related to the topic Animals. We have prepared a whole edition based
on a topic our students start exploring at a very early stage of their learning process and
revise and integrate all throughout their language learning life. This group of words might be
approached through different angles and this is why we included practical activities, games,
flashcards, projects, stories reviews, and much more!!!
Students with Naturalist intelligence have a sensitivity to and appreciation for nature.
The Naturalist intelligence focuses on how people relate to their natural surroundings.
Naturalists have an affinity for animals and are good at understanding and taking care of
them. Naturalists love and respect nature. They enjoy the outdoors and are inspired by
nature.
Also, developing love and respect for the animals, nature and the
environment is one of the most important contents to explore at
school and skills for life.
We hope you find it useful and include these ideas in
your classes!!!
