            HERBARIUM

             

            Second-grade students made a herbarium showing the leaves of trees and shrubs found in Poland. The art works were preceded by a discussion and presentation of selected tree species. The aim of the classes was to deepen students' knowledge of nature, expand English vocabulary and trigger and develop creative activity.

             

            LAYERS OF THE FOREST

            Lesson topic: We learn about the layers of the forest.

            The lesson was carried out with the use of the project method.

            The aim of the project was for students to learn about the layers of the forest, as well as the plants and animals found there.

            The project was implemented in two forms of work - individual and group work.

            In a group, the students prepared a model showing 4 layers of the forest - forest floor, undergrowth, undergrowth and tree crowns. Each layer contained its characteristic animals and plants. Students eagerly used natural materials in their work, such as pine cones, dry leaves, branches and tree fruits.

            Individually, students created lapbooks presenting the forest as an ecosystem. They included many colorful photos showing forest animals and plants. There were intriguing curiosities and riddles as well as descriptions of animals and plants, which allowed for even better understanding and remembering the presented knowledge.
