Insect observatory

With a snail, a spider and a ant we made an insect observatory.

We put the small insects side by side and we observed them well and share the differences and similarities between them.

 UPS!!!! Where is the Spider?

 Inside the magnifying glass

  Look The ant, it seems so big!!

 - The snail has a shell and the ant is thin;

- The snail is larger than the ant and the spider;

- The ant is black, the snail is green and brown;

- The ant and the spider have legs but the snail crawls;

- The ant walks very fast and the snail is very slow. The spider does not move, because it is dead!

Ant has a problem

Trap to catch ants

We built a trap to catch ants. Do you know how? Well the antslove sugar and we... guess what?

 We mixed a little sugar with a little water in a lid...

... we put it out there in the playground 

and... after 15 minutes we had ants already

we got to count 6 ants: 2 little ants and 4 big ants.

Ant has a problem

Today we decided to build an anthill.
So we left school and went looking for in the local park to pick some Sand-Like Soil. And surprise!!!! We found little anthills on the field...

...and we could see small tunnels. It was very interesting!!!

After this we collect some soil and return at school. There we put a smaller jar, without its lid, upside down, on a bigger jar. We fill the outer area between the two jars with the sandy soil.

The sandy soil have ants. So it was easy to put the little ants ont the jar.

Now every day we can observe the ants!!

  

We made the characters of the story the problem of the ant...

 They are beautiful!!

 Look the ants!!

 The bees

The bees!

... the crickets!!

 So beautiful are our snails

and we built a beautiful mobil

Some class´s of Correeira's Kintergarten visited a special water theme park that we have in Albufeira: Zoomarine where we could discover many things about the oceans.

 We also saw the macaws and parrots

 A very nice girl told us about the importance of the Oceans and how important it is that we keep them clean

 And then dolphins appeared

 And they were so beautiful!!!

 They jumped so high that when they fell in the water they splashed us!

 We also discovered a spot where turtles were. They walked so slowly!

 We were close to Sea Lions and how funny they were. They raced with us and everything!

 Then we went into something that looked like a grotto and there the Sea Lions were peering at us!

Bye!Bye!

The students at 3 ° C after hearing the story of the Floepje, drew the character as they imagined and reproduced it physically. This construction work was developed at home, with parents and used only recycled material.
