This post is waaaay past its due date LOL We've been busy for the past few days and I can't seem to include this in my schedule. Good thing, it is a school day today and the little guy is in school and that gives me enough time to write about the second part of our Australia study.
To start with, we discuss about the animals that can be seen in Australia.
Animals
Using the Animals of Australia/Oceania Nomenclature and Fact Cards and the Safari Toob Down Under, we talked about the habitats and the diets of these animals, juxtaposed to the biomes as well.
And there's the Parts of a Kangaroo (Nomenclature and Definition Booklet). (Click the picture for the link)
And Mavi continued working on the identification of the body parts and added labels onto it.
Biomes
We discuss biomes as well, which is something new to him and he loves it! Read about here.
We work on the activity sheets that is included in My Adventure Book: Australia
Map works
For the studying the map, again using My Adventure Book: Australia, we talked about the different states and territories of Australia and he worked on the activity sheet which I provided. (He's obsessed with coloring as of the moment) i
Flag
I gave him options on how to go about the flag and he wanted to paint it :)
Aboriginal Arts
We did these few days ago.
Postcard from Australia
And lastly,we created our postcard to send it to a friend.
Activity sheets, maps and information pages of Australia that was used in this study is all in My Adventure Book (Australia/Oceania).
