Sea Creatures: After visiting the Gdynia Aquarium.

On Monday first graders visited the Gdynia Aquarium. They took part in the class prepared in the form of multimedia presentations followed by the lesson in the laboratory. The course presents the specific nature of the marine environment, and the classes they participated in were focused on the life in the Baltic Sea. Since the education section motto in the Gdynia Aquarium is - touch, see, hear and experience - the students were offered a variety of different activities. The lessons they attended were in English. 

The same day at school grade 1A took part in the science lesson devoted to sea creatures. They listened to the story about dolphins, exchanged experiences and shared their knowledge of these wonderful mammals. Finally, first graders had art classes during which they used plasticine to recreate life in the sea.

Creative Art Activities: Three Little Wolves and a Big Bad Pig.

Not all the wolves are big and bad! What if they were good and the pig was bad?

It is a hilarious activity, great fun for children to get involved in this drawing task. A wonderful ice-breaker or a team-building activity! A child gets a piece of paper and starts with drawing a head of a person or an animal. When they have finished, they fold the part of the paper back to cover the picture they have drawn leaving just a little bit of their picture (usually showing a part of the neck). Next the paper is handed to another person who sees only a fragment of the drawing. They draw the rest of the body not knowing what the upper part of the picture actually presents. In the end they unfold the picture to see the result. What is more, they can put some finishing touches – color the picture, make some ornaments, decorate the frame etc. All in all, not every wolf is wicked or scary, as well as not all the pigs are good-hearted and friendly ;-)
