This is the last topic of our session , we think that is really interesting the children know why " Climate Change" appears in all the mass media like an important problem which affects at all the living beings.
In groups of five, they will read this PP, while they are watching it, also they have to take notes about the important facts of the topic.
The teacher monitors the class for resolving doubts , due to some vocabulary could be really difficult for the pupils.
After reading it , each gruop have to put on the blackboard 7 words related to their topic, then each member of the group will have to explain one of them for the rest of the classmates.
Group 1: Greenhouses gases.
Group2: Reduce Waste
Group 3: Conserve hot water
Group 4: Conserve in the car
Group 5. Conserve electtricity
ATTENTION:the problem is that they do not know what is their topic until they have been taken notes about all the presentation.
After three sesions talking about to be ecological, not cut down the trees and save the world ... NOW is the perfect moment to aply all the knowledges in some games, with the purpose of the asimilation of those new concepts.
The purpose of this sesion is that the pupils understand the importance of not to cut trees.
They have to watch this video and thinking about it.
They will have to do a small redaction about why the industrial sector cut down the trees.
*As the video does not have the text, the first time we will wacth it without anything and after that we will give them the transcription.
*For the pupils that do not understand well the video or who want to know more about that we put some important links with another explanations about this fact.

Small children love nursery rhymes. They will find the charm and the fun of these traditional verses hard to resist. Perhaps you heard them long ago?
Nursery rhymes are really important for early speech development. They also seem to reflect the eternal aspects of childhood. Each rhyme might be several hundred years old – but the playground tunes and games never change.
Ladybird, ladybird,
fly away home.
Your house is on fire;
Your children all roam.
Except little Nan
Who sits in her pan
Weaving her laces as fast as she can.
And remember, it’s meant to be really bad luck to kill a ladybird…so make sure that you never do that.
The next rhyme is also about a small creature, but this one is a creepy crawly…
Little Miss Muffet,
Sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey;
Along came a spider,
And sat down beside her,
And frightened Miss Muffet away.
Ugh ! Poor little Miss Muffet. Spiders can be really creepy. I’m glad to say that the next rhyme is a little more happy:
Mary Mary Mary
Quite Contrary how does your garden grow?
With Silver Bells and Cockell shells
And pretty maids all in a row
Yes, I love that one. It’s really pretty. And This is a verse that I really like because, well, it’s kind of crazy.
Hey diddle diddle the Cat
And the fiddle
The Cow jumped over the moon
The little dog laughed to see such sport
And the dish ran away with the spoon
Oh, I’d just love to see a cow jump over the moon, and sometimes at night I look up into the sky and hope to see it happen….but I’m still looking, and I’m still hoping.
And this rhyme is about a slightly naughty boy:
Georgie Porgie pudding and pie,
Kissed the girls and made them cry
When the boys came out to play,
Georgie Porgie ran away
And there was another naughty boy called Tom
Tom Tom, the Piper’s Son,
Stole a pig and away he ran
The pig was eat
And the boy was beat
And Tom went roaring down the street.
Now here is a little piece of a good advice:
A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can’t we all be like that wise old bird? ?
Yes, silence is golden. And those were a few short rhymes. I’d like to leave you with a longer one. There’s a game that goes with it.. Two people stand facing each other and hold up their arms to make the shape of an arch. Everyone else passes through the arch in turn. When the rhyme ends, the arch comes down and catches who ever is underneath just at that moment.
Well here’s the rhyme. I’m going to give you the slightly older version. And by the way, in old English gay means happy.
London Bridge
Is Broken down,
Dance over my Lady Lee.
London Bridge
Is Broken down
With a gay Lady.
How shall we build
It up again,
Dance over my Lady Lee, &c.
Build it up with
Gravel, and Stone,
Dance over my Lady Lee, &c.
Gravel, and Stone,
Will wash away,
Dance over my Lady Lee, &c.
Build it up with
Iron, and Steel,
Dance over my Lady Lee, &c.
Iron, and Steel,
Will bend, and Bow,
Dance over my Lady Lee, &c.
Build it up with
Silver, and Gold,
Dance over my Lady Lee, &c.
Silver, and Gold
Will be stolen away,
Dance over my Lady Lee, &c.
Then we’l set
A man to Watch,
Dance over my Lady Lee.
Then we’l set
A man to Watch,
With a gay Lady.
And that was London Bridge is Broken down. If you have enjoyed these nursery rhymes, remember you can leave a common on Storynory.com and if enough people like them, perhaps we will do some more.
For now, from me, Tamara
Bye Bye.
